Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

cricketbat I know that this isn't considered one of the Disney "Classics," but Emperor's New Groove has some of the sharpest humor of any animated film that I know. It's a fun watch for both children and adults.

MissSimonetta Along with 1985's The Black Cauldron and 2001's Atlantis: The Lost Empire, The Emperor's New Groove (2000) is the closest thing Disney has ever come to making a cult movie. It is unlike any other film they've ever made: it's an outright comedy. Their Aladdin was as well; however, unlike Aladdin, TENG is wackier, faster, and features a hero who is borderline unlikable in his vanity and selfishness. The style is angular and bold, a bit of a departure from the usually rounded Disney style, one that would be brought to its greatest extreme in Disney's Atlantis.In tone, the movie feels a lot like a classic Looney Tunes short, but it does not forget the heart so common to Disney's work. It gets much better every time I rewatch it; it is one of those rare movies where I know the dialogue by heart. I think about anyone in my generation can quote it. If you haven't seen it, then you're in for a good time!

jsele-38952 In this epic comedy from Disney, David Spade plays Emperor Kuzco, a spoiled ruler who wants to tear down a village just so he can build a summer home. But two wacky villains played by Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton try to put him out of his misery and accidentally give him a potion that turns him into a llama. Coming across a peasant played by John Goodman, the Emperor goes out on a journey to reclaim his throne and learn the lesson of being selfish. When it comes to doing a buddy-buddy comedy, Disney really nailed this one good. All the jokes are G rated, getting both children and adults laughing hard every time. The animation is solid and it's one of those movies that was a great way for Disney to start the new millennium.

Michael_Elliott The Emperor's New Groove (2000)*** (out of 4) Emperor Kuzco is an annoying, mean and self-centered jerk who fires the wrong old lady because she turns around with the help of a brain dead assistant and turns the Emperor into a llama. Soon the llama is in the forest with his only help coming from Pacha, a man was told by the Emperor that his home was going to be destroyed for a new resort.If you're coming to this Disney movie expecting one of their classics then you're going to walk away disappointed. Disney has built up such a strong reputation and have delivered so many terrific films that whenever they release just a good one, it's hard for that film to really stand out. That's pretty much what happened to THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE because it's a nice little time-killer but at the same time it's certainly not one of the studios best movies.There are a few issues here but the biggest is that there's just nothing here that really stands out or becomes classics. Everything here is good but nothing is great if you will. I think the weakest aspect is the story itself because it's just a bit too predictable for its own good as you know what's going to end up happening in the end. With that said, the majority of the characters are extremely likable with Pacha (voiced by John Goodman) and Kronk (voiced by Patrick Warburton) really standing out. The evil Yzma makes for a good villain but it's hard to "love to hate her" because the Emperor himself is so annoying and ugly that you really can't hate or dislike the villain for trying to knock him off.The film, as you'd expect, features some terrific animation and there's no doubt that the music score is a winner too. THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE isn't a masterpiece but as long as you don't go into the film expecting one you should find this to be a decent time-killer.
