In order for the emperor to change back into a human, he trusts a village leader named Pacha who escorts him back to the palace. Beginning production in 1. Fullmer and Roger Allers titled Kingdom of the Sun, The Emperor's New Groove spent several years in development, during which it was changed significantly; the film shifted from a darker and more dramatic musical into a more light- hearted comedy film, largely due to input from Disney executives who were worried about the film becoming too ambitious after the disappointing box office performance of Pocahontas. A documentary about the making of the film, titled The Sweatbox, details the production troubles that the film endured over its six years of development.

The Emperor's New Groove was released in December of 2. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "My Funny Friend and Me" performed by Sting, but lost to "Things Have Changed" by Bob Dylan from Wonder Boys.

Kuzco is the selfish, egotistical emperor of the Inca kingdom, who routinely punishes those that throw off "his groove". When he lets go of his conniving adviser Yzma, she plots revenge to poison and kill him and take the throne herself. Her dim- witted henchman Kronk mistakes a transformation potion for the vial of poison, and Kuzco instead turns into a llama.

Yzma improvises, knocks Kuzco out, and orders Kronk to bag him and take him out of the capital to kill him. While doing so, Kronk has a stroke of consciousness and decides not to go through with it, but unfortunately misplaces the bag on a cart belonging to Pacha, a man from a distant village. Pacha had come to see Kuzco earlier in the day to ask him to reconsider the plans to raze his village to build his resort "Kuzcotopia", but Kuczo waved off his concerns.

Production[edit]Kingdom of the Sun[edit]"Kingdom of the Sun was such a heart- breaking experience for me. I put four years of my heart and energy into that one.. I was creating an "epic" picture mixing elements of adventure, comedy, romance and mysticism. The head of Disney Features at the time was afraid that we were doing, in his opinion, too many films in the same vein. He was also uncomfortable with the spiritual and cultural (Inca) aspects of it. Hence, he decided to make it a simple slapstick comedy..

Would it have worked out if we had had more time? I would hope so, but one can never know these things."Roger Allers, reflecting on the troubled history of Kingdom of the Sun[3]The idea of Kingdom of the Sun was conceived by Roger Allers and Matthew Jacobs,[4] and development on the project began in 1.

The 4. 0th animated feature in the Disney Animated Canon, the film is a comedy including adult and child humor. Produced by Randy Fullmer and directed by Mark Dindal over a six- year production timeline, The Emperor's New Groove was altered significantly from its original concept as a more traditional Disney musical entitled Kingdom of the Sun, to have been directed by Dindal and Roger Allers (co- director of The Lion King).

Unlike most Disney films, this has no musical numbers, is very comical and funny, and nothing dark or scary happens at all, as a result, many fans consider this a black sheep of the Disney Animated Canon. Others consider it to be spoof of Disney movies, despite the fact that it was made by Disney itself. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song for "My Funny Friend and Me" performed by Sting, but lost against "Things Have Changed" by Bob Dylan from Wonder Boys. A direct- to- video sequel, Kronk's New Groove, was released in December 2.

The Emperor's New School, in January 2. Plot. Kuzco (David Spade) is the self- centered teenaged emperor of the Incan empire brought up by his head advisor Yzma. One day, he summons Pacha (John Goodman), the headman of a nearby village, to inform him that he is building his enormous summer home, Kuzcotopia, on the site of Pacha's house. Pacha attempts to protest, and is dismissed.

He also callously fires his ancient, power- hungry advisor Yzma (Eartha Kitt) for attempting to run the kingdom while he is preoccupied, infuriating her. She, along with her easily- distracted assistant Kronk (Patrick Warburton) then attempt to poison Kuzco so that she can take full and permanent control of the empire. Yzma invites Kuzco to a "farewell" dinner and he drinks the poison, which supposedly kills him. However, he is still alive and suddenly, his ears become those of a llama.

Soon, his neck stretches, his hands turn into hooves, and his face turns into a snout. Yzma orders Kronk to knock the transformed Kuzco unconscious and discovers that the supposed "poison" was actually a potion that turned him into a llama.

Kuzco ends up in Pacha's village, accuses Pacha of kidnapping him and demands that Pacha help him return to the palace. Pacha refuses unless Kuzco builds his summer home elsewhere, and Kuzco attempts to find his own way home.

He ends up surrounded by a pack of jaguars, only to be saved by Pacha. Meanwhile, Yzma assumes command of the nation, but when Kronk reveals he never killed Kuzco, the two head out and begin to search the local villages for him. Kuzco feigns agreement with Pacha's demand, and Pacha leads him back toward the palace.

On their way across a bridge Pacha falls through a weak plank. Kuzco refuses to help him as he says that he was going to put Pacha in prison for life but this was better. Pacha yells at Kuzco saying that they shook hands on it. Kuzco replies that you need hands to do that and that he has no hands. Kuzco then falls through a plank like Pacha and he and Pacha start fighting. The bridge shortly snaps and falls.

Kuzco and Pacha fall down the cliff and end up stuck at the bottom. Working together, they climb up the cliff to reach the rope to pull themselves up the cliff. While climbing, Pacha grabs the rope, but it's stuck on a branch which scorpions then fall off onto Kuzco and Kuzco gets scared and falls. Pacha then grabs Kuzco and Kuzco's face gets stuck in a hole. The scorpions then climb up onto Pacha's back. Pacha gets scared and smacks his back onto the wall.

Kuzco then questions Pacha about this and Pacha says that he shook hands on it and he will still take Kuzco. Meanwhile Yzma and Kronk are in the jungle looking for Kuzco, and after getting chased by bees, Yzma meets Bucky and screams at him. Bucky gets scared and runs to Kronk and they start talking.

Yzma is mad only until Kronk translates that Bucky said a talking llama gave him trouble. After asking him for Yzma, Kronk finds out where Kuzco went, and he and Yzma head off.

Meanwhile, Kuzco and Pacha are walking until they found a roadside diner, and decide to eat there with Kuzco dressed as a girl since llamas are not allowed in. After Kuzco goes to talk to the chef about the food Pacha begins to eat until Yzma and Kronk arrive shortly after and he overhears Yzma discussing their plans to kill Kuzco, Pacha goes to Kuzco and attempts to warn him. Throughout the visit, neither party knows that the other is there. Kuzco, convinced Yzma is loyal, berates Pacha and returns to Yzma, only to overhear Yzma and Kronk discussing that they are seeking to kill him, and that the kingdom doesn't miss him. Kuzco realizes Pacha was right, but Pacha has left. After a repentant Kuzco spends the night alone in the jungle, the two reunite.

Yzma passes Kronk a knife to finish the duo off. Kronk becomes stricken with doubt as his angel and devil appear on his shoulders and converses with them, to the confusion of everyone else. Kronk changes sides after a vicious tongue- lashing from Yzma, and attempted to drop a chandelier on her, but her thin body enables her to escape harm. In retaliation, she drops him down a trap door.

Yzma summons the palace guards, forcing Kuzco and Pacha to grab all of the transformation potions they can and flee. Waxworks Full Movie Part 1 more.

Yzma accidentally steps on one of the two, turning herself into a tiny kitten. A struggle ensues, and Pacha dangles from a ledge. Kuzco has then grown a conscience and saved the peasant. Yzma still almost manages to obtain the antidote, but is thwarted by the sudden reappearance of Kronk.

Kuzco becomes human again and sets out to redeem himself, building a much smaller summer cabin on the hill next to Pacha's home. Meanwhile, outdoorsman Kronk becomes a scout leader, with kitten- Yzma forced to be a member of the troop, to Kronk's pride.
