Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Zero Native people and zero Latin Americans and zero Incan culture in a film about the Latin American Indian culture of the Incas. This is true of the cast, the crew, the writers, and the story's content. For shame, Disney. You had a chance to showcase an amazing people and their culture and you blew it for a silly story that could have taken place anywhere.Since the film bombed, hopefully you learned your lesson. Coco seems to indicate you have.

Along with 1985's The Black Cauldron and 2001's Atlantis: The Lost Empire, The Emperor's New Groove (2000) is the closest thing Disney has ever come to making a cult movie. It is unlike any other film they've ever made: it's an outright comedy. Their Aladdin was as well; however, unlike Aladdin, TENG is wackier, faster, and features a hero who is borderline unlikable in his vanity and selfishness. The style is angular and bold, a bit of a departure from the usually rounded Disney style, one that would be brought to its greatest extreme in Disney's Atlantis.In tone, the movie feels a lot like a classic Looney Tunes short, but it does not forget the heart so common to Disney's work. It gets much better every time I rewatch it; it is one of those rare movies where I know the dialogue by heart. I think about anyone in my generation can quote it. If you haven't seen it, then you're in for a good time!

Originally this movie was supposed to be released under the name of Kingdom of the Sun, director by Mark Dindal and Roger Allers, the latter being a co-director of The Lion King. It was going to be a more traditional Disney adventure musical. Unfortunately the studio and Allers didn't see eye to eye, and eventually the whole idea was scrubbed and the existing material was turned into a buddy comedy.And as far as saving jobs go, they could have done a lot worse. You can definitely see that they had to cut a lot of corners to get the film out on schedule, but the movie has a lot of style, great sense of humour and very likable characters. It's one of the funniest Disney films I've ever seen - if not THE funniest - and stands out from the rest of the canon.The basic premise is that an Incan emperor named Kuzco gets turned into a llama after he fires his royal adviser, Yzma, who happens to be a sorceress of some talent - aren't they all. And now Kuzco has to get back into his palace in order to turn back into a man. The only problem is that the only man who can help him is also the chief of the village he intends to raze to the ground in order to build a summer home for himself. Not a very complicated plot as far as Disney films go, but it's the comedy that brings people back to this film. And that works beautifully. All four of the main characters have very good voice actors and they all have great chemistry together. The film also takes full advantage of its animated nature, giving us some really imaginative scenarios and gags.The only real problem I have is that the plot is very predictable and that the animation, while working very well in terms of comedic value, does look kind of cheap by Disney standards. Plus, while I enjoy the fact that Kuzco starts out very unorthodox for a Disney lead, his eventual character development is about as clichéd as you can get.Still, I do like the film a lot and it's an easy recommendation for anyone that enjoys Disney and for anyone that appreciates light-hearted comedies.

This is one of those rare Disney films that isn't a musical but manage to hold up on it's own against other movies from Disney.The Emperor's New Groove is a comedy animation movie that tells the story of Emperor Kuzco (Voiced by David Spade) after he is turned into a llama by Yzma (Voiced by Eartha Kitt) with her henchman Kronk (Voiced by Patrick Warburton) must seek help from Pacha (Voiced by John Goodman). What makes the film different from other films of Disney is the fact the film breaks the fourth wall now that is not something you have seen too many times in their films but for the plot it actually works and makes it more funny to. The animation in this film is very well done and the hand drawn animation is very impressive as they timed each scene just right and the character designs are very good in this film as well as superb backgrounds. Also the humor really works for this film and some of the most creative lines ever written came into this movie; The music in the movie set the tone for the film which helps deserve it very well. The voice acting is excellent, Surprising that David hasn't done many animation films because he did a very good job in this film, John Goodman does a excellent job in this film and help makes his character believable. Eartha's performance was just right for Yzma the main antagonist of the film she really deliver here. Patrick was pretty good as Kronk and he made the character very likable and funny throughout the film. It's a smart choice that they didn't make this into a musical style because it might not had work but nevertheless the film does well on it own. The film has some of the most entertaining scenes ever and will make you laugh. Also the film focus more character development and the relationship with the characters you actually can appreciate them and they make the film work very well. With very good animation, a clever story, and very well done voice acting you can't go wrong. I give The Emperor's New Groove an 8 out of 10
