The Wonderful World of Disney: The Emperor's New Groove

The Emperor's New Groove tells the story of Kuzco (David Spade), the spoiled, teenaged emperor of a mystical kingdom. The self-centered Kuzco makes the mistake of firing his advisor, Yzma (Eartha Kitt). Vowing revenge and seeking the throne, Yzma assigns her faithful but distracted henchman, Kronk (Patrick Warburton), to poison Kuzco. A better cook than a crook, Kronk botches the job and the emperor is turned into a llama instead of being dispatched to the afterlife. Not safe in the palace, Kuzco makes his way to the forest where he discovers life is hazardous for a llama. The emperor is rescued — on a few occasions — by the jovial peasant Pacha (John Goodman), who lives on a hilltop with his wife, Chicha (Wendie Malick), and their children. Pacha and Kuzco are off to a slapstick romp through the forest that eventually brings them back to the palace.
