Disney's Quirkiest Film to Date

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2005)

Think of Disney, what spring to mind. Sentimentality. All Dancing. All Singing. Talking Animals and Happily Ever After. Disreguard all those if you walk past Emperor's New Groove in the local Video store.
Disney has gone completely against the grain in the funniest, quirkiest animated film I've seen.
The story is about an egotistical Emperor (Kuzco) who's life turns upside down when his evil ex-assistant (Yzma) plots to kill him and take over his empire. Nothing is that simple of course, cue, the hilarious and frantic beginning, middle and end of a non stop roller-coaster ride. On this ride is also Pacha, a kind-hearted peasant who gets caught up in the misunderstanding.
This is a film the entire family will enjoy due to the humour being more "Simpsons" like than the traditional Disney giggles.
With a film that includes Smart-ass kiddies, twisted Squirrels and a docile yet lovable henchman, this film pushes all the buttons without having a sick bucket love story thrown in.
And with 'Kronks New Groove' due out this December, I'll be the first in line to get a copy.
