Description:
If you liked ALADDIN, you'll love Disney's THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE, where outrageous comedy rules! Audiences and critics alike raved about this hilarious animated adventure. 'Ebert & Roeper And The Movies' gave it 'Two Thumbs Up.' Faster than you can say 'Boom, baby,' arrogant Emperor Kuzco is turned into a llama by his devious advisor, Yzma, and her hunky henchman, Kronk, who want to rid the kingdom of this beast of burden. Now the ruler who once had it all must form an unlikely alliance with a pleasant peasant named Pacha. Together, Kuzco and Pacha must overcome their differences as they embark on a hilarious, 'groovy' adventure that will have you howling with laughter.

Originally developed as an epic called Kingdom of the Sun, The Emperor's New Groove lost scale and most of Sting's song score (some of which can be heard on the soundtrack) on its way to the screen. The end result is the lightest Disney film in many a moon, a joyous romp akin to Aladdin in its quotient of laughs for kids and adults. The original story centers on the spoiled teenage emperor Kuzco (David Spade), who enjoys getting the best of his Aztecan subjects. When he fires Yzma (Eartha Kitt), his evil sorceress, she seeks revenge and turns Kuzco into a llama with the help of her hunk of the month, a lunk named Kronk (Patrick Warburton). Alone in the jungle, the talking llama is befriended by Pacha (John Goodman), who has just been told to vacate his pastoral home by the human Kuzco. What's an ego to do? That's pretty much the story and the characters--simple, direct, fun--a Disney film on a diet. For any fan of the acidic humor of Spade, this is essential viewing. As narrator of his tale, Kuzco uses a sarcastic tone to keep the story jumping with plenty of fun asides (he even 'stops' the film at one point to make sure you know the story is about him). Even better is character actor Warburton (Elaine's stuck-up boyfriend on Seinfeld), who steals every scene as the dim-witted, but oh-so-likable Kronk. There's even a delicious Tom Jones number that starts the film off with a bang. --Doug Thomas

Rating:  - one of the funniest...
This is one of the funniest cartoons I've ever seen. The humor is very witty and Kuzco is so obnoxious, you just can't help but love him!! The charcters are the best, from Yzma, Kronk to Pacha and Bucky! Great for kids and adults!!
Rating:  - Quite a Suprise
Let me first admit: In general and principle, I hate Disney movies.
There, I said it. I know as American consumers, we consider that blasphemy against the capitalist God that Disney is. They usually destroy any fairy tales they do get ahold of (The Little Princess in original form is NOT
a happy story with saccharin musical numbers), and in those cases, I would recommend avoiding them like the plague...or American Idol.
So why am I writing this? Because sometimes, ... Read More
Rating: - the greatest lesson
the Emperor's New Groove is not only funny but it teaches a great lesson to children and adults- to love others no just your self. so indulge, laugh and cry with Kozko on his journey!
Rating:  - Check your "DVD Regions"!
Nice DVD, however I would have prefered a big, fat, WARNING written in bright red letters that stated that this disc was for non-US REgions! THis DVD is for playing REgions OUTSIDE of the US!!! What does that mean?? It will not play on any US DvD players!! ugh!
Rating: - What a Disney Great Movie
I am a grandmother and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this with my grandchildren. Disney is the best!!!
