Funny and brisk

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2013)

This bright, wildly imaginative, and wicked fast paced animated comedy stands strong. The story is silly, but has so great messages for kids. The voice cast, John Goodman in particular, is great and truly captures the animated performances. The vibrant and colorful pallet is also a great draw here. The Emperor's New Groove is strongly crafted. The music is also nice, featuring an original score and some music by Sting...an interesting collaboration that works. It might have some continuity issues and silly cartoon antics, but this is a fun, exciting, constantly moving film. It is a very funny animated film and is always a joy to watch.
