The Emperors New Groove is an American animated buddy comedy following a young arrogant emperor who is transformed into an Ilama by his devious advisor his only chance of regaining his throne lies in the hand of a good-hearted peasant named Pacha.
The Emperor's New Groove is a little sassier, a little hipper, and maybe just a little crazier-as if the cartoon cast drank some of the old Warner Bros. Kool-Aid.
The arc of the story may be predictable, but it's balanced out by some marvelously unpredictable flashes of visual comedy, all very much in the style of Chuck Jones in his prime.
