Quite sad how rushed it was.

Rating: 7/10 (5 October 2012)

The production of this movie is disheartening to say the least, and if you want to know why watch "The Sweatbox". This movie is 78 minutes and has 9 writers. (I'd say the average is 4 to 5 writers.) You can see just how much was cut and recut and changed and removed from what the original story was. But that's a little thing to care about. This movie is fresh, daring, and at times brilliant. (Map lines, I'm looking at you.)
I've heard that some people hate the voice casting, but I couldn't love it more. What other movie could have Walter from "The Big Lebowkski" and Piglet together in the same scene? David Spade was perfectly snarky and egocentric for Kuzco, Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton played off each other marvelously, and even the small roles like the two kids were great. The movie is refreshingly adventurous with its fourth wall breaks and self-referencing. (I think that's because the writers ran out of ideas.)
If this was a bit longer and better polished, it would be one of my favorite Disney movies.
