The Emperor's New Groove

Have you watched The Emperor's New Groove?
Who are your favourite characters?

Incan emperor Kuzco is selfish, narcissistic, spoiled, pays no heed to the needs of others, especially peasants, and abuses his position of power. For his eighteenth birthday Kuzco plans to raze a local village to build a lavish summer mansion - "Kuzcotopia" - against the objections of the village's leader, Pacha. After he fires Yzma, his conniving adviser, she plots to usurp the throne by poisoning Kuzco. Instead she and her dim-witted but kind-hearted assistant Kronk accidentally give him a potion that transforms him into a llama. Yzma orders Kronk to knock Kuzco unconscious, then dispose of him, but a stroke of conscience prevents Kronk from doing the latter.

Love that movie. Kronk is the best.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Fun off-beat movie----------very much out of step with Disney's accustomed content.

Kronk is great. I mean, everyone's great, but Kronk is an absolute laugh-riot.

...I've not seen 'Kronk's New Groove'. I bet it's on Disney+------‐-----as many garbagey Disney sequels as I've seen, I should check out something I might actually enjoy.

I only know the series, The Emperor's New School, from when Disney Channel had animated series worth watching, which I'm pretty sure they don't now but couldn't say for sure. Never saw the movie.
To me, you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon.

It's one of the more decent Disney movies, certainly. I remember liking it well enough, but I was losing interest in these movies by then.
