WEEK 8: A MOVIE WITH A NONHUMAN MAIN CHARACTER
 
Review: The young emperor Kuzco is an arrogant and self-absorbed emperor. He always feels elevated above everyone, is unkind to everyone and always pushes his way through. Kuzco is aided by his counselor Yzma, an ugly power-hungry, cunning woman. One day Kuzco fires Yzma, upon which she seeks revenge. Together with her not-so-bright henchman Krink, she plans to poison Kuzco. Through a mistake, Kusco does not die, but turns into a llama. The one one who can help his is the farmer Pacha. During their adventure to stay out of the hands of Yzma and Kronk and turn Kuzco back into a huma, Kuzco slowly realizes he can get more done if he’s kinder to Pacha and if he cooperates with him.
“The Emperor’s New Groove” was Disney’s 39th film in its ‘classic’ series. And once again they managed to create something completely different and ow. “The Emperor’s New Groove” is primarily a comic animation. The story itself is quite simple and the theme of courage, humor and friendship is not new. But the complete idiotic way the humor and the many puns are woven into the film are new.
“The Emperor’s New Groove” is very enjoyable because of the humor and absurd story. A very short film too and I believe a very popular film among true Disney fans.

Rating: 3,5/ 5
