      Storyline

      Edit

      Did you know

      Edit
      • Trivia
        Patrick Warburton improvised when Kronk hummed his own theme song when he was carrying Kuzco (David Spade) in the bag to the waterfall. Disney's legal department had Warburton sign all rights to the humming composition over to them.
      • Goofs
        The theme song describes Kuzco as an icon in "Mesoamerican history". Mesoamerica stretched from Mexico to Central America, not Peru where the story takes place.
      • Quotes

        [plotting ways to kill Kuzco]

        Yzma: Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I'll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little flea, and then I'll put that flea in a box, and then I'll put that box inside of another box, and then I'll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives...

        [laughs]

        Yzma: ...I'll smash it with a hammer! It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!

        [knocks over bottle of poison on flower, which shrivels up and dies]

        Yzma: Or, to save on postage, I'll just poison him with this!

      • Crazy credits
        In the closing Walt Disney Pictures logo, after the arc is drawn over the castle, it disappears.
      • Alternate versions
        In the original version, Kuzco throws a rock at Pacha. On the 2005 DVD and future releases, that rock has turned into an acorn.

      Boom, baby!

      "The Emperor's New Groove" is a rare hilarious Disney movie.

      It's very different from any other Disney movie so this movie might also be very watchable to you Disney haters out there. The movie pace is incredibly high and the music by John Debney and Sting are a real surprise. The movie really is a non-stop hilarious comedy with some unique humor. Also the style, both visual and story-wise is different from any other previous Disney movie, which in this case is a positive thing.

      The characters are great. Kuzco and Pacha are a perfect team. Yzma is a remarkable villain and her sidekick Kronk is hilarious. Yep, Laughs are guaranteed in this very hip and hilarious movie!

      The story really is of no importance and most of it never makes sense but that's also why this movie is both unique and hilarious to watch over and over again.

      Highly recommendable to everyone!

      9/10
