Short description
Kuzco is a self-centered emperor who summons Pacha from a village and to tell him that his home will be destroyed to make room for Kuzco's new summer home. Kuzco's advisor, Yzma, tries to poison Kuzco and accidentally turns him into a llama, who accidentally ends up in Pacha's village. Pacha offers to help Kuzco if he doesn't destroy his house, and so they form an unlikely partnership.
What's left behind the scenes
- To film the life of a South American resident, the film's creative team traveled to Peru in 1996 to capture the artistic and cultural treasures of the ancient Incas. During their ten-day trip, they visited landmarks such as the high-altitude city of Machu Picchu and the ancient city of Cusco. They also filmed pastures, steep mountain slopes, and huge stones using a military helicopter.
- The Russian dub lacks the voice-over monologue of Kuzco in the scene where Kronk carries him in a sack to drop him in the canal. In the original English dub, Kuzco speaks about himself as a victim and mockingly comments on Kronk's actions.
- The girl scattering petals along the path before Kuzco at the beginning of the film is Yoli, Pernat's ward, from “The Emperor’s New Groove 2: Kronk’s New Groove.”
- Producer Randy Fullmer admits that when Disney representatives showed them the first version, they disliked it so much that they issued an ultimatum – redo it in two weeks or there would be no “Empire.” The premiere, which took place on December 15th, has little in common with the first version. Roger Allers, originally working with Mark Dindal, was moved to another animated project, and Dindal took control. The story was completely reworked into its current format, and the character who was supposed to be voiced by Owen Wilson was now voiced by John Goodman.
- “The Emperor’s New Groove” was initially titled “Children of the Sun,” then “Kingdom of the Sun,” then “Kingdom on the Sun.” The initial story, when the project was announced, was based on “The Prince and the Pauper” with a strong romantic subtext. David Spade was supposed to voice the imperial heir who discovers he has a second “self” (Owen Wilson) in the form of a humble peasant.
- The girl scattering petals on the path before Cusco at the beginning of the film is Yoli, Pernatle's ward, from "The Emperor's New School".
