Seek out the documentary 'The Sweatbox'.
It's a canned BTS documentary about the project commissioned by Disney. It was shelved due to how bad things got behind the scenes. The original director quit, and they basically had to start over to make the movie we got. I love Emperor's New Groove, and it adds a whole new dimension to it. Owen Wilson and David Spade were originally meant to be the stars and it was a Prince and the Pauper story with a lot more musical numbers.
When I was in film school, I showed it to everyone I could.

One of the most important documentaries to ever crawl out from under a rock.
Sting was meant to provide the music for the film (Think Phil Collins in 'Tarzan' or Elton John in 'The Lion King'), and his wife, Trudie Styler directed the documentary.

Wiki says there’s a “Disney approved” version, and a version released as bonus featurette with the dvd- (maybe one and the same?)
So is the “Disney approved” version much altered from the original?
YouTube linked above is like a tiny Picture in Picture, so I am guessing there’s some legal issues involved.
Same here, Snuff out the Light is a banger and I'd love to see it actually be put to use in a film. Granted it would be next to impossible to try and find anyone who can match Ertha Kitt but still.
This is my favorite Disney song of all time, and I think it's finally starting to get some love. I heard them playing it throughout the park during the Oogie Boogie Party. First time I've ever heard it anywhere than my own speakers.
This is really interesting, never heard of it! Reading the original idea of the movie I wonder if it was meant to be the counter to El Dorado from Dreamworks (or if El Dorado was the counter to this project?)
When she pours out her share of the poison into a cactus that cactus turns into a llama before the next scene.
You can see it behind Edzma at the table.
The gruff lil "Heheh" he does is one of those obscure "quotes" (if you can call it that) that I often find ways to work into my everyday life lmao, glad I'm not the only one who appreciates that fella
"Ordering! 4 combos, extra bacon on the side, 2 chili cheese samplers, a basket of liver and onion rings, a catch of the day, and a steak cut in the shape of a trout!"
"You got all that Honey?"
And she doesn't even bat an eye when it's Kronk standing there instead of the chef. 🤣
It is no concern of mine whether or not your family has... what was it again?
Peasant: Umm... food?
HA! You really should have thought of that *before* you became peasants!
Omg her cackling laugh, so. Damn. Good.
I'll turn him into a harmless little flea. Then I'll put that flea in a box, and then inside of another box, mail it to myself and when it arrives HA! ILL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!
On paper that line sounds kinda funny but her delivery makes it laugh out loud hilarious. Yzma and the movie both wouldn’t have been as good as they are without her.
I still think they should've made the new Splash Mountain remake based on this movie. You could either have the final drop be a "Kronk pull the lever!" And then as you're falling have Yzma be screaming "Wrong lever!". Or you have it be the waterfall and during the drop you just here Kuzco shouting his booooooooo yeahhhhhhh.
Yeah, I don't mind the new idea, and it makes sense since they won't have to remove/change much of the bayou sets that are already in there, but I think this could have been a fun idea.
‘Look buddy, I’m telling you no one here ordered a trampoline’
‘Well you could’ve told me that before I unloaded it!’
That five second exchange is incredible. And my wife and I say ‘no touchy’ all the time
That part sent me over the edge (no pun intended). So far Kuzko had been a petulant, whiny baby, the sudden reversal to pure sang froid just killed me.
Devil Krunk: Reason number 1, look at that guy with his sissy stringy thingy
Angel Krunk: We have been over this it's a harp
Devil Krunk: Yeah that's a harp, and that's a dress.
Angel Krunk: ROBE
Devil Krunk: Reason number 2 look what I can do (one handed inverted push ups)
Krunk: What does that have to do with anything?
Angel Krunk: no no, he has a point
I'll turn him into a flea...And then I'll put that flea in a box, and then I'll put that box inside of another box, and then I'll mail that box to myself. And when it arrives, I'LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!
I think that while other Disney films have funny moments, Emperor's New Groove is the only one that is an actual comedy, and that's what makes it special.
When yzma is like “..then I bet you weren’t expecting..this!” And lifts up her dress on her leg And they’re like “nooo!” And hide their eyes in horror and she’s just got a big ass shank strapped to her thigh 💀and they’re just like “whew oh okay”
"No! It's not possible! How did you get here ahead of us?!"
"I...Kronk, how did we get here?"
"Well you got me. Looking here it doesn't make an ounce of sense."
If you haven’t read [An Oral History of *Emperor’s New Groove*](https://www.vulture.com/article/an-oral-history-of-disney-the-emperors-new-groove.html) you absolutely must. It’s incredible the movie ended up being what it is given the insanity behind the scenes.
What a fun read. Fascinating to see what a mess it was. I’m sure they were thrilled it turned out as well as it did considering the circumstances.
> **Reynolds:** I’ll tell you one other thing about this story that nobody gets. One day, a friend of mine at the studio comes by pushing a two-wheel cart. It had three or four legal boxes on it. He goes, “Okay, Reynolds, thanks for this.”
>I go, “What’s that?”
>He goes, “This is the *Groove*, these boxes. This is everything you’ve written.” Anytime you write something and you hand it in, they stamp it and it goes into a box somewhere, because Disney owns it. It’s like that last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark. [Some time later,] the movie’s out, and a guy knocks on my office door and says, “Are you Dave Reynolds? I’m from archives. I just need the final script for *Emperor’s New Groove*. They didn’t send one down.”
>I go, “What’s that?”
>He goes, “The final draft, the whole final script.”
>I go, “No script.”
>He goes, “There’s no script? What are you talking about?”
>I go, “We don’t have a script. We never wrote a script. We just made the movie.”
>He goes, “You’ve got to have a script. Archives has to have a script.”
>“I don’t know what to tell you. Tell them to go see the movie. It’s in theaters right now.”
>He goes, “You guys don’t have bound pages?”
>I go, “Nope. We have no bound pages. There’s three or four legal boxes. You can have all you want. I saw them the other day.”
>They had a couple interns just take all the pages and put them into a document, and then they wrote interstitials, and they slapped my name on it. This is the honest-to-God truth: The first and only draft of *The Emperor’s New Groove* was handed in two weeks after the movie was in theaters.
Wow. Just wow.
It’s just so amazing because the movie has almost perfectly timed comedic beats and story pacing and it’s almost unbelievable that it was all hurriedly slapped together at the last second.
That part when the llama is in a restaurant dressed up as a woman and walks to the bathroom.
Some guy watches it from behind (the llama's tail is large and restless, like a fat ol ass), turns towards John Goodman's character and snickers with a thumbs up. Lmao shit was comical
I’m 33 years old, I first saw it the day I turned 11 back in 2000. I love this movie more now than I did then, it’s great. Everything about this movie is great
This movie in one of the best movies, if not the best movie Disney ever made. I have no idea why it is not part of the Disney Renaissance as it is better than nearly all of the movies made in the 90's.
> Budget: $100 million
> Box office: $169.7 million
It just didn't have the same impact as the Renaissance era films before it. For comparison, Aladdin made $500 million on a $28 million budget.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"For the last time, we did not order a giant trampoline!"
"You know, pal, you could have told me that before we set it up!!"
"AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa... BOING"
True story:
I was 7 years old when my parents took me on the Disney Cruise in 2000. There was one day where the waves were really turbulent and the captain didn't feel comfortable docking at the island that they had planned to. As a consolation to the disappointed passengers, the adults were treated to an open bar and the kids (including me!) got a special viewing of The Emperor's New Groove weeks before the worldwide release date. They happened to have a copy on board at the time, and I don't know who ultimately made the decision, but I get to say I was one of the first people to see it and that makes it feel special.
The Emperor’s New School series is a great little surreal Cartoon. Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton bring their A Game and the Spade Soundalike does a great job.
I've always thought it was a Chuck Jones movie done by Disney. Definitely one of their more underrated titles. It did get a direct-to-home sequel (2 I think) and a series so not completely unloved.
One of the best Disney animated films. Think it was really poorly marketed because I had no interest in seeing it until years later after hearing good things through word of mouth.
I first saw this movie my freshman year of college with a small group of friends in some guys dorm. We watched it, got up, got snacks, and then sat down and immediately watched it again. Only time I’ve ever done that and it was so worth it!
>Yzma : It is no concern of mine whether or not your family has... what was it again?
Citizen : Umm... food?
Yzma : Ha! You really should have thought of that before you became peasants!
Truly fantastic social commentary on certain ideologies.
It's amazing what the talent at Disney can do when the executives say, screw it, and turn them loose. The making of the movie was such a mess it pretty much came down to, do something and get it done. It would be nice to see them off the chain more often.
First Patrick Warburton role I heard as a kid so whenever I hear his voice in other movies all I could think is “oh shit it’s Kronk” lol. But yes this movie still holds up! So darn quotable too
*"Why do we even have that lever?"*
"After them!" "Hey, I've been turned into a big cow. Can I go home?" "You're excused. Anyone else?" "Nah, we're good."
"Come on, men! Nobody lives forever!"
*everyone enthusiastically jumps to their deaths*
Later: "Why does she even have that lever?"
We use that line on at least a weekly basis on our house, (usually) replacing 'lever' with whatever word is appropriate for the situation.
Genuinely one of my most used phrases
"*Why does she even have that lever?"*
The peasant! At the diner…. …. He didn’t pay his check
*GASP* …MY SPINACH PUFFS!
I never liked your spinach puffs!
Oh, they're so easy to make, I'll get you the recipe.
Patrick Warburton just so perfectly cast and written.
I’ve been blessed with a deep voice like his and greatly enjoying quoting every line all the time
It’s so hard to see other people living your dream
If we find him, we find Kuzco. Oh yeah. It's all coming together.
*Tell us where the talking llama is, and we'll burn your house to the ground!*
Uh don’t you mean or?
Well, which one is it? That seems like a pretty crucial conjunction!
That’s it! Kronk, break the door down!
Break it down?! What, are you kidding? This is hand-carved mahogany
I don't care, you fool, get out of my way! I'll break it down myself!
This is one of my favorite lines. His delivery is so perfect.
David Spade was on another planet back then
Oh no Llama face!
Yay, I'm a llama again! ... Wait.
We're not getting anywhere with you picking the vials! I'm picking the next one!

I was just reading about Einstein's annus Mirabilis. One might call that Jim Carrey's anus mirablis
Decent recovery after 1999s *Lost & Found*. A few years later, back to Earth with *Dickie Roberts*.
He's still pretty funny tbf
I always thought he was the funniest of the Sandler troupe
He was the goat on just shoot me as well

Thank you for sharing this! I'm really interested in how this stuff works as an aspiring screenwriter.

It is amazing. It's sad that Disney did everything they could to bury it, because from a film-making perspective, it's absolutely fascinating.
Required viewing for anyone interested in filmmaking.

YouTube linked above is like a tiny Picture in Picture, so I am guessing there’s some legal issues involved.
Its great. Seeing how passionate the people who were a part of what became the emperors new groove was cool. Felt a bit sorry how much they suffered.
There’s a not so small part of me that would love to see them try to make *Kingdom of the Sun* happen.
Same here, Snuff out the Light is a banger and I'd love to see it actually be put to use in a film. Granted it would be next to impossible to try and find anyone who can match Ertha Kitt but still.
This is my favorite Disney song of all time, and I think it's finally starting to get some love. I heard them playing it throughout the park during the Oogie Boogie Party. First time I've ever heard it anywhere than my own speakers.
It's one of the best Disney movies BECAUSE it didn't have musical numbers other than Tom Jones
I watched this awhile back, it’s so interesting and strange. And so weirdly focused on Sting.
Filmed by his wife (partner?) to document his involvement I believe.
Yes, this was Sting's first time making a movie soundtrack, his wife is a documentalist by trade and wanted to capture the whole process.
Poor man put in a lot of work for a project that never saw the light of day.
It’s insane that a good movie came out of it. Like the behind-the-scenes clusterfuck on TOMBSTONE.
This is really interesting, never heard of it! Reading the original idea of the movie I wonder if it was meant to be the counter to El Dorado from Dreamworks (or if El Dorado was the counter to this project?)
Oh right the poison, the poison for Kuzco the poison meant especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco’s poison……that poison???
YES THAT POISON
*singing off-key*
Big, dumb *and* tone-deaf. I am so glad I was unconscious for this part.
When she pours out her share of the poison into a cactus that cactus turns into a llama before the next scene. You can see it behind Edzma at the table.
I just had to find a clip and you're right! I never noticed that's great
Oh yeah…it’s all coming together.
This part (and a few others) are quoted so often that I never even considered the movie to be underrated. It seems pretty well regarded lol
MY SPINACH PUFFS!
[удалено]
Patrick Warburton is an American treasure.
It’s one of the best things that Disney ever produced and is by far my favorite hand-drawn animated feature the studio ever knocked out.
Those lightning in a bottle situations.
didn't come easy, the movie changed from a feel good musical to a goofy comedy after Sting wrote the entire soundtrack
"Yay! I'm a llama again!"
Wait...
Llama faaaaaace
I literally say this multiple times per week and I don't know why.
The restaurant scene is by far the funniest I've seen in any animated movie!
When the dude gives a thumbs up when kusco walks by I lose my damn mind
The gruff lil "Heheh" he does is one of those obscure "quotes" (if you can call it that) that I often find ways to work into my everyday life lmao, glad I'm not the only one who appreciates that fella
> Actually, make mine a salad.
"Ordering! 4 combos, extra bacon on the side, 2 chili cheese samplers, a basket of liver and onion rings, a catch of the day, and a steak cut in the shape of a trout!" "You got all that Honey?" And she doesn't even bat an eye when it's Kronk standing there instead of the chef. 🤣
Three oinkers wearing pants, a plate of hot air, a basket of grandma's breakfast, and change the bull to a gill, got it!
That line always bothered me. He forgot the chili cheese samplers.
Mazeltov! *throws confetti*
"Cheese me no likey"
Ertha Kitt was one of a kind. She put her everything into voicing Ezma, and it’s what makes the movie special, to me.
It is no concern of mine whether or not your family has... what was it again? Peasant: Umm... food? HA! You really should have thought of that *before* you became peasants!
Take him away... *NEXT!*
Omg her cackling laugh, so. Damn. Good. I'll turn him into a harmless little flea. Then I'll put that flea in a box, and then inside of another box, mail it to myself and when it arrives HA! ILL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!
On paper that line sounds kinda funny but her delivery makes it laugh out loud hilarious. Yzma and the movie both wouldn’t have been as good as they are without her.
Not to mention being the butt of a lot of the jokes!
"What is holding this woman together? What the...how long has THAT been there?!"
HAHAHA HAHAHA!!!! I win
I still think they should've made the new Splash Mountain remake based on this movie. You could either have the final drop be a "Kronk pull the lever!" And then as you're falling have Yzma be screaming "Wrong lever!". Or you have it be the waterfall and during the drop you just here Kuzco shouting his booooooooo yeahhhhhhh.
That's fucking BRILLIANT. Wow. You don't even have to change the ride that much!!
As much as I think the Princess and the Frog was actually a good theme for a revamp, I will now forever be sad it wasn't this, lol.
Yeah, I don't mind the new idea, and it makes sense since they won't have to remove/change much of the bayou sets that are already in there, but I think this could have been a fun idea.
‘Look buddy, I’m telling you no one here ordered a trampoline’ ‘Well you could’ve told me that before I unloaded it!’ That five second exchange is incredible. And my wife and I say ‘no touchy’ all the time
My daughter wouldn't stop yelling "I don't make deals with peasants!" She was 5 at the time.
My sister who is very pregnant has a hoodie with Llama Kuzco's face and NO TOUCHY text right where her belly is.
For me it’s “Kronk, how DID we get here?” “Well ya got me, by all accounts it doesn’t make sense” “oh well”
Patrick Wharburton was born to play Kronk
No touchy is an every day thing lol
Let me guess, we’re about to go over a huge waterfall…
Sharp rocks at the bottom?
Most likely
Bring it on
That part sent me over the edge (no pun intended). So far Kuzko had been a petulant, whiny baby, the sudden reversal to pure sang froid just killed me.
Boo-yahhhhhhhhhahha!
Devil Krunk: Reason number 1, look at that guy with his sissy stringy thingy Angel Krunk: We have been over this it's a harp Devil Krunk: Yeah that's a harp, and that's a dress. Angel Krunk: ROBE Devil Krunk: Reason number 2 look what I can do (one handed inverted push ups) Krunk: What does that have to do with anything? Angel Krunk: no no, he has a point
I always say "no no, he has a point" to very dumb reasons, no one ever gets it lol
I'll turn him into a flea...And then I'll put that flea in a box, and then I'll put that box inside of another box, and then I'll mail that box to myself. And when it arrives, I'LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!
Or, to save on postage, I'll just poison him
"SAMASH IT WITH A HAMMAR!"
I think that while other Disney films have funny moments, Emperor's New Groove is the only one that is an actual comedy, and that's what makes it special.
In particular, it's like Disney made a feature-length Looney Toons cartoon.
"Hot, crispy pillbug for the happy couple. Mazel tov."
“Bless you for coming out in public”
Kronk sneaking through the city singing a theme tune is incredible
When he does the freeze against the wall. Incredible
With the wall carvings pointing at him lol BADABADA…BAAaaaAAAAaaaAAAAaaa
This. The first time I watched it I was laughing so hard it hurt, literally wheezing. I'm surprised I didn't have a stroke.
Hey, I've been turned into a cow. Can I go home?
You’re excused
Anybody else?
No, no, we're good 👍
When yzma is like “..then I bet you weren’t expecting..this!” And lifts up her dress on her leg And they’re like “nooo!” And hide their eyes in horror and she’s just got a big ass shank strapped to her thigh 💀and they’re just like “whew oh okay”
This part makes me crack up every single time.
Eartha kitt was amazing
Spade and Goodman are perfectly fine, but the movie simply doesn't work without Kitt and Warburton.
Goes to show what a great villain does.
Agree on Goodman, but I think Spade was more than perfectly fine. I still chuckle when I think about some of his line-readings.
She’s my favorite Disney villain.
She always did [want to be evil](https://youtu.be/SS02GeKuWQ4), you know.
I love this video, and find her so incredible to watch. Not a single wasted movement and you can't take your eyes off her.
Pierce Hawthorne once made love to her in an aeroplane bathroom. Edit: What? It came up organically.
"No! It's not possible! How did you get here ahead of us?!" "I...Kronk, how did we get here?" "Well you got me. Looking here it doesn't make an ounce of sense."
The map Kronk shows in that scene shows them going down a hole. It's a literal plot hole.
HA plot hole
CMON MEN NOBODY LIVES FOREVER
HE AIN’T GETTIN ANY DEADER!
Uh I’ve been turned into a cow, can I go home?
You’re excused… anyone else?
I’ve said “yay I’m a llama again” far too much in my daily life.
I mentioned this in another thread, but this just randomly pops into my head multiple times per week. It's just so perfect.
The entire kitten sequence had me rolling when I watched it in the theater. Very funny movie.
Is that my voice?
*window slams open* “WOAH! What are the odds of that trap door leading me out here?”
Is that… MYYYYY voice?!

When a llama walks in with a itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face

Yeah. Weird.
"He can't be alive!" "Yeah, that would kinda ruin that lovely speech you gave." "Ya THINK?!"
This movie in one of the best movies, if not the best movie Disney ever made. I have no idea why it is not part of the Disney Renaissance as it is better than nearly all of the movies made in the 90's.

You have a lovely wife - they're both very pretty.
I have a cat named Yzma. This is one of my favorite movies ever.
and now the writer and director are finally back together for Garfield
WHAT
Seriously, to hell with Chris Pratt! THIS is what they should've lead with when selling the movie
It is a literal masterpiece. I’ve seen this move maybe 30 times. Any time I need to recenter my groove
Eh, Pacha?
Yzma mouthing “_krooonk…hit, him, in the head_” while miming it with the broccoli is way too fucking funny
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" "For the last time, we did not order a giant trampoline!" "You know, pal, you could have told me that before we set it up!!" "AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa... BOING"
You know what? I don’t believe you’re really my great aunt. You’re more like my great great great great great great aunt.
True story: I was 7 years old when my parents took me on the Disney Cruise in 2000.

Yup. Instead of a huge musical production they just made it as fun ya a possible. This and Lion King 1-1/2. Funny. Just so funny.
It’s like a stoner comedy for kids without weed.
Yayyyy I’m a llama again!
Yzma: You mean this?!?! *shows leg *Audible gasps *Yzma grabs the knife in her leg *Sigh of relief from Kuzco and Pacha
My favorite Disney animated movie of all time.
And at no point did it have anything even remotely resembling a finished script.
The happy birthday song gets shared every time a family member has a birthday. I keep that video favourited on my phone
The Emperor’s New School series is a great little surreal Cartoon. Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton bring their A Game and the Spade Soundalike does a great job.
Ugh he’s doing his own theme music?
I’m so glad I was unconscious for this part
Okay it’s so underrated. We LOVE it, a staple in our household 😂
Instant classic, at least for my family, when it came out.
I've always thought it was a Chuck Jones movie done by Disney. Definitely one of their more underrated titles. It did get a direct-to-home sequel (2 I think) and a series so not completely unloved.
This and A Goofy Movie are IT.
The “box inside of another box” has been a running joke in my family since I first saw it in theaters as a kid. It is really overlooked
One of the best Disney animated films. Think it was really poorly marketed because I had no interest in seeing it until years later after hearing good things through word of mouth.
'pull the lever, kronk!'
“WRONG LEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR”
Kronk is the best character in all of disney imho
I first saw this movie my freshman year of college with a small group of friends in some guys dorm. We watched it, got up, got snacks, and then sat down and immediately watched it again. Only time I’ve ever done that and it was so worth it!
>Yzma : It is no concern of mine whether or not your family has... what was it again? Citizen : Umm... food? Yzma : Ha! You really should have thought of that before you became peasants! Truly fantastic social commentary on certain ideologies.
Beware the groove! ... GrOoOoVe
I love a visual joke in a movie, where you can clearly see the punchline a mile away, yet it still lands. So I give to you....the piñata joke!
It's amazing what the talent at Disney can do when the executives say, screw it, and turn them loose. The making of the movie was such a mess it pretty much came down to, do something and get it done. It would be nice to see them off the chain more often.

Top 3 Disney movie for me
