Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review matthias s **Review: *The Emperor’s New Groove* (3.5/5 stars)** Alright, so *The Emperor’s New Groove* is absolute chaos—in the best way possible. It’s fast, funny, and packed with some of the best fourth-wall-breaking humor Disney’s ever done. I love a good meta gag, and this movie *thrives* on them. The characters? Iconic. David Spade’s Kuzco is peak sarcastic energy, Patrick Warburton’s Kronk is comedy gold, and Eartha Kitt’s Yzma is pure, cackling villainy. But here’s the thing—it’s all surface-level fun. The plot is simple, the pacing is lightning-fast, and because of the short runtime, there’s no real depth. No big emotional gut-punch or layered themes. Just jokes, llamas, and slapstick chaos. And honestly? That’s fine. It’s not *smart* humor, but it’s *fun* humor. If you’re looking for a deep Disney flick, this isn’t it. But if you just want 78 minutes of ridiculous, quotable nonsense? This one’s a winner. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Mr A I first discovered this movie back in the summer of 2015 and remember watching it in the summer of 2016. I must say Kuzco is a big jerk as he obviously doesn't care about anyone but himself. The emperor is just as bad if not worse than Yzma. Even though Kuzco is the protagonist, Pacha is the real hero in this movie. I can list all of Kuzco's wrongdoings. 1) He threw an old man out the window for "throwing off his groove" but in reality Kuzco bumped into him and wasn't looking. 2) He plans to destroy Pacha's village for his summer resort called Kuzcotopia. 3) He lied to Pacha about changing his mind to build Kuzcotopia somewhere else. 4) He left Pacha on the Bridge. 5) He sent Pacha away when Yzma was planning to kill him. Kuzco deserved to be turned into a llama as punishment for being cruel to everyone. Yzma is still the villain but you just can't blame her as her emnity towards the emperor is justifiable and understandable. I gotta say Pacha has a wonderful family. Chicha as the beautiful wife, Chaca and Tipo as the two adorable little children :). Anyway, Kuzco had to learn the meaning of empathy and the only way to do that was spend a night in the jungle and join a herd of llamas. He also had to learn the meaning of hard work because he's a lazy emperor while the villagers are hard working peasants. You know, Pacha could've used Kuzco to haul his carts since llamas were used to transport people and items back then. But lucky for Kuzco, Pacha appears and forgives him. Kronk is a funny guy, he may be asissting Yzma with her evil schemes but he's truly a nice guy at heart. Mudka's Meat Hut had nothing delicious and I for one am not eating there. The finale battle against Yzma was very comical and can't be taken seriously. Kuzco become nicer once he turns back into a person and everything turns out to be just fine. I love the ending scene in which Kronk is a scout leader. Kronk got his own movie which we can empathize more with than this one. Also, Pacha deserves to have his own movie since he's the real hero in this movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review André M Love Kuzco. Love Kronk.
