Synopsis
A selfish emperor is turned into a llama and must find his way home with the help of a peasant named Pacha.My Thoughts
What can I say about this movie that hasn't been said already? Everyone and their grandma has gone on and on about how hilarious of a movie this is.
It definitely is something that feels very unique in the whole Disney lineup, especially with the Renaissance so close behind us. Rather than a serious musical with some minor comic relief, we get a story that is much more cartoon-y and a constant laughing riot.
That said, for this first time trying out something new like this, they completely succeeded. The Emperor's New Groove is hilarious (as mentioned above), looks great, has a fun soundtrack, has great villains and is just overall a memorable experience.
Honestly, my only complaint with this movie is the somewhat-forced "break-up" between Pacha and Kuzco at one point. Like, yeah, I get that you want to have a "lowest point", but it did feel forced and like the characters just needed to be apart for a few minutes. It really was just that, a few minutes, since they soon re-united.
It's definitely different from the stuff Disney tried before, but it nonetheless succeed and is a laughing riot.
