The Emperor's New Groove (DVD) ... ... / DVD released 05 November, 2001 at Walt Disney Home Video / Features of the DVD: Animated, PAL / The Emperor's New Groove was originally developed as an epic called Kingdom of the Sun and 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 children and adults. The original story centres 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 Kronk, her hunk of the month (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 humour 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, Amazon.com

 ... Aladdin then hide in shame forever). She has a henchman, Kronk, and as the name suggests, he's not entirely intelligent. He does, however, come with his own "shoulder devil" and "shoulder angel" which makes for some hilarious exchanges between himself and...well...himself. So these are the main players in the story which, when boiled down, is pretty simple. Yzma gets power hungry and tries to get rid of Kuzco so she can rule over everything, Kronk messes up by accidentally turning the emperor int...more

Crowned Review The Emperor's New Groove (DVD): Scary beyond all reason (1762 words)

Disney (The Multi National Whore Bag from Hell as I like to call it) have never been high in my "companies I like" list, which I have made up for the purposes of this review. So far I have Disney in last place, competing heavily with my workplace. The other places are yet to be filled. Suggestions on a postcard please. As much as I dislike them for various reasons (most of them relating to the time I spent working for them) they do occasionally churn out a film under their name that is not what you would expect from a woman hating weirdo with a frozen head and a bad moustache. The Emperors New Groove is certainly one of them. There's a ...

One of Disney's main releases in 2001 was the extremely amusing, and crisply-presented 'The Emperor's New Groove', which showed real departure from Disney's normal animation and story style, dispatching the need for schmaltzy songs, and replacing them with sharply observed comedy. Two different DVD editions have been released in the United States, one with just a single DVD and a fairly basic collection of extras, and one with two DVDs and more features than you can shake a stick at. No prizes for guessing which one I plumped for. THE FILM 'The Emperor's New Groove' sees Kuzco (voiced by David Spade), the despotic ruler ...

Introduction Over the years Disney have produced some great animated movies ranging from fairy tales to action adventure movies. Their success is unparalleled as many of their movies move from the big screen to Broadway. Children all over the world are familiar with famous Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck etc. However, with the advent of computer graphics, many companies are beginning to compete against Disney. Pixus Dreamworks, perhaps better known for regular movies have begun to produce classic computer animated adventures such as Shrek. Disney therefore are trying to fight back and produce original and exciting ...
