Details: Amazon.ca Originally developed as an epic called Kingdom of the Sun, The Emperor's New Groove lost scale and most of Sting's song score (some of which can be heard on the soundtrack) on its way to the screen. The end result is the lightest Disney film in many a moon, a joyous romp akin to Aladdin in its quotient of laughs for kids and adults. The original story centers on the spoiled teenage emperor Kuzco (David Spade), who enjoys getting the best of his Aztecan subjects. When he fires Yzma (Eartha Kitt), his evil sorceress, she seeks revenge and turns Kuzco into a llama with the help of her hunk of the month, a lunk named Kronk (Patrick Warburton). Alone in the jungle, the talking llama is befriended by Pacha (John Goodman), who has just been told to vacate his pastoral home by the human Kuzco. What's an ego to do? That's pretty much the story and the characters--simple, direct, fun--a Disney film on a diet. For any fan of the acidic humor of Spade, this is essential viewing. As narrator of his tale, Kuzco uses a sarcastic tone to keep the story jumping with plenty of fun asides (he even "stops" the film at one point to make sure you know the story is about him). Even better is character actor Warburton (Elaine's stuck-up boyfriend on Seinfeld), who steals every scene as the dim-witted, but oh-so-likable Kronk. There's even a delicious Tom Jones number that starts the film off with a bang. --Doug Thomas Product description The Emperor's New Groove (Widescreen) Special Features Deleted Scenes|The Emperor's Got Game -- Help Kuzco Get From Pacha's House Back To The Castle|Rascal Flatts Music Video -- Learn To "Walk The Llama Llama" As Featured On THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE Soundtrack|Sting's Making The Music Video -- Featuring The Academy Award(R)-Nominated Song "My Funny Friend And Me"|Behind The Scenes -- A Fast-Paced Tour Of How The Film Was Made|Audio Commentary With The Filmmakers Review Best Song, -Sting- "My Funny Friend and Me". -- Critic's Choice Award, December 20, 2000^Nominated for Best Original Song, "My Funny Friend and Me" (Music: Sting and David Hartley, Lyrics: Sting). -- HFPA-Golden Globe Awards, December 21, 2000^Nomination of David Spade for "Voice from an Animated Movie". -- Kids Choice Award^Nomination of Eartha Kitt for Best Supporting Actress. -- Black Reel Awards, January 26, 2001^Nomination of original score "My Funny Friend and Me" by Sting and David Hartley. -- Oscars
