Customer Reviews of The Emperor's New Groove (Disney Collector's Edition)

SO, WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS MOVIE:

Well,there's this totally obnoxious emperor who goes by the name of Kuzco (voiced by David Spade). He cares not a wit about other's feelings, and expects to have whatever he wants, no matter who he has to step on to get it. In his typically obnoxious way, he fires his long-time assistant Yzma (voiced by Earth Kitt) because she has TOO MANY WRINKLES!

Now Yzma, intend on revenge, tries to poison Kuzco with the aide of her big dufus of a henchman, Kronk (the funniest character of all)! However, she mistakes Essence of Llama for poison, and turns the rude and overbearing Kuzco into a......well, you can guess what!

Now the rude and overbearing Llama (Kuzco)! meets up with Pacha, a pleasant peasant who Kuzco was going to take advantage of by throwing his family out of their home in order to build KUZCOTOPIA - a vacation paradise! Despite their differences, though, Pacha and Kuzco must band together to get back to the castle, having many groovy adventures along the way. In the end, Kuzco learns a very important lesson about kindness. (But of course; it's DISNEY, after all)!

WHAT'S MY FINAL WORD ON THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE? It's great; it's groovy; it's funky and funny and clever. Often times the movie even pokes fun of itself; in Mel Brooks sort of style. David Spade is just PERFECT doing the obnoxious voice of Kuzco (well, he did always seem so obnoxious, himself, on Saterday Night Live)!

Younger children, in the under five age group, may not be thrilled with this movie which is definitely more CLEVER than CUTE. But for adults and "older" kids, The Emperor's New Groove gets TWO THUMBS UP! Trust me, you will laugh at this one; no joke!

It moves! It grooves! It's out of control!
Disney does Warner Brothers. That's what best sums up this rolicking, non-stop gag fest. No cutesy side kick, no beautiful princess, no flashy computer effects, no songs (well only one small one), no real moral, just a heck of a good time waiting to be had by all. Simply put, if you like to laugh, you'll love this film. Children will enoy the bright colors, quick pace and wacky characters. Adults will enjoy all that plus all the jokes that go over younger ones heads. This is truly a film for all ages.

Not only is the film great, but the presentation is fantastic. This is a digital to digital transfer, which mean no degredation at all from the original source. Colors and textures practically leap right off the screen and into your lap. Sound is crisp, clear and presented in Dolby Digital as well as DTS. You'll want to experience this one in all it's surround sound glory. Also included on the DVD is an action adventure game that's pretty darn good considering that you have to control it with your remote control. There's also a funny viedo that teaches you how to dance like a llamma! The kids will love these features.

Now what really make's this presentation shine is the second DVD. It offers a veritable rosetta stone of animation, taking you more in depth than any making of I've seen (and I've been getting behind the scenes info for years now thanks to laserdisc). From development and story to clean up and sound it's all here in detailed splendor. You'll even have to chance to view side by side comparisons of different animation stages to see how the film evolves. Taking a more hands on approach, you'll get to actually choose which combo of the three different soundtrack elements of one scene to play. This feature really shows you the power of sound and how it adds depth and excitement to a film. This second DVD is entertainig, fun and enlightening. Not to be missed for Disney fans (you get to see up close and personal the Disey Animatin building), animation buffs or people who just loved the film and would like to see more.

Get hip to the groove and pick this one up fast. Your entire family is sure to enjoy it immensley. It's wild! It's crazy! It's down right hillarious! And the second disc will only deepen your appreciation of Disney artistry. The emperor has ordered a new groove and this is it!

Awesome movie!
My kids watch this one all the time. My youngest just loves it, she laughs through the whole movie (and so do!) David Spade is hilarious as Kuzko the self obsorbed Prince turned Llama, and John Goodman plays a heartwarming Pacha, the peasent who's home Kuzko wants to destroy to make his dream vacation spot.

Two thumbs way up!
