Disney Summer Classics: The Emperor's New Groove

A madcap marvel of animated anarchy, "The Emperor’s New Groove" is one of Disney’s most delightfully offbeat creations—a zippy, zigzagging buddy comedy that trades fairy tale earnestness for pure comedic chaos. When vain and self-centered Emperor Kuzco (David Spade) is transformed into a llama by his power-hungry advisor Yzma (Eartha Kitt), he’s forced to team up with kind-hearted peasant Pacha (John Goodman) to regain his throne—and maybe learn a little humility along the way. Packed with meta gags, fourth-wall breaks, and absurdist flair, this laugh-a-minute romp has become a cult classic for its irreverent tone, rapid-fire humor, and lovable characters.
