Disney’s Funniest Animated Movie | The Emperor’s New Groove Review

[@robbieking4070]

This is my Dad’s favourite Disney movie. Whenever Disney is brought up even after all these years, he still remembers ENG and even quotes some of his favourite scenes (the waterfall, Kronk sneaking and Kuzco’s ‘llama face’ freak out).

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

There's a reason Kronk is my personal chef

[@jbcatz5]

What are his spinach puffs like?

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

My favorite Disney movie Patrick Warburton is an absolute legend. And it's a sin this movie doesn't have its own ride. I'm all in favor of a Peru pavilion at Epcot with its own secret lab coaster

[@eugeneketaminekrebs3403]

It kinda does in Tokyo Disneyland, called Raging Spirits.

[@brytonup1551]

That sounds amazing

[@brytonup1551]

Would be a great ride in a Villain park

[@vixiestarfire]

Absolutely! “Pull the lever Kronk! WRONG LEVERRRRRRRR!” 😂😂😂

[@MajorTeag]

Yes, I so agree. Yzma is my favorite Disney Villain and this and Aladdin are the only two movies I can still watch and laugh at. The late Eartha Kitt, RIP, was perfect as Yzma, and David Spade gave Kuzco that perfect self-centered attitude that he needed at the beginning. They could even use the wrong lever gag in the ride somehow, either it triggers the roller coaster or something could pop out.

[@CrashJakFan1994]

A great thing about "The Emperor's New Groove" is that the humor is timeless. Every single joke still sticks the landing even after 20 years. It doesn't rely heavily on humor that might be dated, as far to my knowledge. It's why this still stands the test of time.

[@katietaylor8314]

Yeah, there's no annoying shoehorned-in pop culture references, which is great.

[@tlotpwist3417]

@@katietaylor8314 i saw it as a massive hommage to 50's cartoons, even the ones not made by Disney, without doing a full gallery of cameos like Roger Rabbit but by just getting the essence of the humor these cartoons had right

[@torstenscholz6243]

So true. Today the humor in animated films is all fart jokes, slapstick and pop-cultural references. This, however, works so well because it's a character-driven buddy comedy where the humor derives mostly from the characters and their interaction with each other and from the finely-crafted situation comedy.

[@joelblake5310]

The waterfall scene and wrong lever will forever live on in our hearts.

[@kevinlashley2604]

[@hunterolaughlin]

Here's my parody of that hilarious scene Yzma: "Pull the lever, Kronk!" Kronk pulls the lever, but nothing happens. He pulls the level 3 or 4 times, but nothing still happens. Yzma: "Why are you pulling the lever over and over again?" Kronk: "It's just that I thought when I pulled the lever, the floor would drop out from under you. You'd scream "Wrong Lever!" Fall in a moat, come out with a crocodile biting your butt and you'd say in annoyance "Why do we even have *that* lever?". Then smack the crocodile to make it go away." Yzma (stares in confusion at Kronk): "Okaaayyyyyyyyyy." Kronk: "I guess I'll have to pull the right lever then." Kronk pulls the other lever and the floor drops under Yzma and she screams and falls into the moat. Kronk: "Oh! There it is." Yzma then comes out with a crocodile biting her butt and an annoyed look on her face.

[@swanpride]

My favourite moment is when the disney villain fall happens and she bounces back because of the conveniently placed trampolin...honestly, the best moments are in the final, it is just a firework of gags.

[@Snowflakes-s9u]

@@hunterolaughlin wish that was in the movie

[@G.S.Productions]

My favorite scene in the film was the moment where they’re about to face a giant waterfall: Pacha: “Uh-oh!” Kuzco: “Don’t tell me. We’re about to go over a huge waterfall?” Pacha: “Yep.” Kuzco: “Sharp rocks at the bottom?” Pacha: “Most likely.” Kuzco: “....bring it on.”

[@Yvanehtnioj2000]

Kuzco was only 17 years old and given all the factors it’s really no wonder he turned out the way he did (being raised by Yzma for instance). lol. He was still just a kid himself and had ultimate power and authority over everyone. David Spade did the character so much justice. This is my favorite Disney movie I can watch it a thousand times and never get tired of it.

[@jacobbelow4136]

I remember watching this movie with the commentary from the filmmakers a little while ago, and they said that it was really tricky to get that right balance of ego-centrism from Kuzco, while still having him be sympathetic enough for the audience to want to watch him grow (very similar to Woody in the original 'Toy Story')! I think one big thing that helped is that the movie opens with showing Kuzco sitting in the rain as a llama suffering the aftermath of his selfishness (accompanied with the narration), and setting up that this is what will happen to him if he doesn't improve his ways, and showing how he will improve over the course of the movie BEFORE returning to that scene by the middle of the movie (where he breaks the 4th wall by saying, "Who are you kidding, pal?! They saw the whole thing, they KNOW what happened!", when you would typically not expect such a 4th wall break to work for such a scene)! Alos, Yzma mentioned in her tirade scene after Kuzco casually fires her "I practically raised him!", and Kronk remarks, "Yeah, you'd think he'd have turned out better."

[@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293]

The Emperor’s New Groove along with Lilo and Stitch are in my opinion the Two Best Films that Walt Disney Animation Studios have ever made and this was a great Review of The Emperor’s New Groove and I would love to see Animat do a Review of Lilo and Stitch since he did this Film

[@jbcatz5]

Lilo and Stitch really nails the human story, and the B-plot with Nani and social services as represented by Cobra Bubbles resonates more emotionally than the A-plot with the aliens. It’s the first animated Disney film to explore what it means to lose a parent, a very common trope in Disney films, and have that be a driving force. Lilo only adopts Stitch because Nani is overcompensating as a parent figure after losing both their parents, something the eight year old Lilo doesn’t realise. It’s also an angle for older viewers, something that holds more meaning when you understand Nani’s dilemma better. Among the human cast there are no bad guys, but Cobra’s mission is at odds with Nani wanting her and Lilo to remain together and we can understand why he’s valid in doing what he does. Gantu is there as a final boss to have a conventional bad guy, and he’s defeated as easily as he is in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep as the boss for Aqua’s Deep Space storyline (seriously, Critical Mode is the only place he’s anywhere near a decent challenge).

1:21 He should’ve said “Or did Disney end up pulling the wrong lever?”

Excellent Review Mat! Look forward to more.

Movies I would like Animat to review: Curious George The Powerpuff Girls Movie Eight Crazy Nights Monster House.

[@kirstendonovan4092]

Don't forget Fantasia 2000.

[@jamesmoss3424]

It's an excellent Disney movie of the 2000's. 😀👍

[@kylgrv]

A definite classic with a lot of hilarious moments. I still really enjoy the many quotable scenes, and I absolutely love the villains, up to the point where I find myself liking them more than the main heroes (nothing against the good guys at all, I just think the villains are more hilarious). And it looks like we're going into claymation territory with the Gumby Movie next. That's gonna be interesting.

I feel that for Kingdom of the Sun to have worked, it needed the team from Aladdin.

David Spade as a Llama. Somehow it worked!

[@neilyoungboy]

So I watched Home on the Range on Disney+ for the first time since it came out to be if it was as bad as I remembered from when I was a teen and I gotta say, for that to have worked it needed the Groove team in the driver's seat.

This movie is proof that kids movies don't have to be rushed or just a way for parents to distract their kids for an hour

[@a.t.m873]

Oh yeah. Clicked right away. Love this film.
