This is a very fun film. I enjoyed seeing it several times in my life, I had no problem seeing it again before writing this review.
Plot: Emperor Kuzco is about to turn 18 years old tomorrow, and he plans to destroy a village for a summer home. He also fires his advisor, Yzma for trying to take care fo the empire behind his back. Yzma attempts to poison him but the drink he receives turns him into a Llama instead. SHe orders her dim-witted right hand man, Kronk to take him out and kill him, but Kronk but he loses the sack containing him and it ends up in the hands of Pacha, the headman of the village Kuzco plans to destroy. So Kuzco reluctantly agrees to not destroy Pacha's village in exchange for Pacha taking him back to his palace.
This is a simply hilarious film. It's just complete cartoonish fun for everyone. it gets you to wonder why this film did not become as big as it really should have. from the little fly getting eaten by a spider to that guard
that gets turned into a cow, there's a whole bunch of fresh things that are completely funny in this film.
Characters:
Emperor Kuzco: You have to like how he still acts like everything revolves around him. I do also like how at some point he acts like he's use to the trouble that's happening like that waterfall. I love watching that.
Pacha: He has a good sense of believing that there's good in everyone and you have to like how that's challenged with Kuzco.
Yzma: while you can hardly take her seriously as a villain, the reason for that is just as fun. Especially when she has to deal with what Kronk does.
Kronk: Kronk is probably the funniest, his child dim-witted personality is cute and his shoulder angel and devil moments are the best parts with him.
Music: It was nice. again, fun. I know I'm using that word several times but that doesn't make it any less true. Plus some of the music during the credits is a decent song from Sting so yeah.
And that is my review for Emperor's New Groove. I know I'm not saying much, but it's much better to see for yourself for those of you who have yet to see it.
I agree that this film has some clever things in it and great comedy. Great review by the way H.A.K. By the way, in case you're interested, how about a little trivia question. What do The Emperor's New Groove, Treasure Planet, and Bolt have in common with each other? (A) They have a cus word in them (i.e. the "H" word or the "A" word). (B) One of the supporting characters says to the main character and another supporting character "One day, you two will get to be married" in all three movies and those two characters in each movie give that guy the most shocking look ever. (C) There's only one song during the entire movie and a song at the end of the credits. (D) All three movies are so geared towards adults that they're extremely boring for kids.
ReplyDeleteJust in case I failed to clarify, the answer is only one of the choices: A, B, C, or D. Anyway.

DeleteWell done. That may have been too easy of a question but hey. Just out of curiosity, have you seen the Treasure Planet spoof on YouTube? If you haven't seen it do so when you get the chance. It's really funny, especially at the end. It's called "A Bit In Treasure Planet That You Never Saw."
ReplyDeletehmmm. i might look into it sometime.
DeleteCool. Let me know what you think of it either on this review or the Treasure Planet one when you do watch it.
