The Emperor’s New Groove (2000)

Arcata Theatre Lounge

A comedy about standing on your own four feet

The Emperor’s New Groove (2000) is an American animated buddy-comedy film produced by Walt Disney Pictures. A ruler learns how the other half lives, the animal half that is. Kuzco (David Spade) is the young emperor of an Inca nation who takes a self-centered joy in the troubles of others. Not surprisingly, Kuzco’s attitudes have earned the enmity of many of his subjects, including Yzma (Eartha Kitt), a sorceress who wants to seize power away from the emperor after he relieved her of her royal duties, declaring she was too old and unattractive to do the job. Yzma and her musclebound assistant Kronk (Patrick Warburton) hatch a plan to poison Kuzco and take the throne, but thanks to a mistake on Kronk’s part, Kuzco isn’t killed, he’s instead turned into a talking llama. Kronk can’t bring himself to kill the llama, and instead sends the former emperor into the jungle to fend for himself. Kuzco doesn’t do too well as a llama until he runs into Pacha (John Goodman), a poor farmer whose property Kuzco once planned to take over for a vacation home. Soft-hearted Pacha agrees to help the emperor-turned-llama find his way back home where, hopefully, another sorcerer can reverse the spell, but once they hit the road, they discover Yzma and Kronk are looking for them, with Yzma determined to finish the assassination she started.
