A Disney feature that is just funny ... so VERY funny.

Rating: Null/10 (15 July 2004)

In The Emperor's New Groove, Disney has finally managed to succeed in making a kids' movie that is just as much fun for a viewer of any other age group. The Emperor's New Groove is just plain funny, with just a bit of a moral and emotional undertone, but whenever this comes to the surface, it is quickly quenched by a sidesplitting oneliner.
Disney's recent animated films have been syrupy sweet, drop-dead boring love stories, but this time 'round, we get a much better film that instead utilizes the concept of friendship instead of love. Ripping to shreds a long-enduring Disney tradition, The Emperor's New Groove sports an almost song-less soundtrack by Sting, and the couple of songs that made the cut are entertaining. Otherwise, it just embarrasses me to hear a song come out of nowhere.
The Emperor's New Groove is a refreshingly funny change. The human Kuzco even looks like David Spade, and acts a lot like Spade's whiny character in Just Shoot Me. Maybe there's still hope for Disney.
