A pleasant surprise

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2002)

OK, I would not normally have watched this movie, but I won it in some stupid contest, and decided to give it a try. Boy, was I suprised.

In doing away with the "cuteness" and message so often found in Disney movies, the creators of "The Emperor's New Groove" have made a truly funny and fast-paced little flick, which is fondly reminiscent of the Looney Tunes cartoons of days long past. I'd say it's not so good as Shrek (which of course has superior technology), but it comes pretty close, and that's without having to resort to spoofing others.
A pleasant and very likeable movie.
