    Jul 25, 2001
    Pros: Very funny movie.
    Cons: None

    Summary: I love Disney movies. I own several on video and more on DVD. I even have VHS and DVD copies of a few. The Emperor’s New Groove was the first Disney movie I got on DVD. It was also one of the very first DVDs I got. It was released ... read more

  • The Emperor's New Groove (2000) – Lean & Mean

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 7, 2013
    Pros: Great screenplay, nice voice work, hilarious film
    Cons: Doesn’t really fit the classic Disney mold…

    Summary: For a while now, I have been singing the praises of Disney's underappreciated feature, The Emperor's New Groove. Plagued with production issues before its eventual release, the film was one of Disney's first in years that wasn't an animated ... read more

  • "Tell Us Which Way the Talking Llama Went and We'll Burn Your House Down."

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 26, 2008
    Pros: Great voice cast brings the laughs to life.
    Cons: Took me two viewings to fully appreciate it.

    Summary: Sometimes, good can come from bad. The Emperor's New Groove originated as a Disney animated movie called Kingdom of the Sun. While many people (including animators at Disney) say that movie was wonderful, it bombed with test audiences ... read more

  • What a "GROOVY" little movie!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 7, 2008
    Pros: Very funny movie! Voices/characters perfect matched up!
    Cons: Simple story line.

    Summary: Okay, my standards were low when this movie first came out, I didn't think I would like it. I'm pretty picky about my "kid" movies. With epics like Monster's Inc and Toy Story, etc. it's hard to compete. But every now and again I find one that's ... read more

  • Get Your Groove On!

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Apr 25, 2007
    Pros: Entertaining for adults & children alike!
    Cons: Still very expensive

    Summary: The Emperors New Groove, was released in 2000, and seems to have flopped at the box office, in comparison to other Disney titles, taking a mere $80,000,000(!). I can only imagine that the reason that this film "flopped" was down to poor marketing, or the ... read more

  • "Oh...Riiiiiiiight"-Kronk

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 1, 2006
    Pros: Witty humor. Funny characters. Kronk is a masterpiece of a "stupid" character.
    Cons: Prepare for lots of sarcasm in case your not a fan of it.

    Summary: When one watches a movie, he carries with him all the memories of the previous movies he has watched. Because of that, clichés are easy to spot. Many movies just borrow the same formulas and use them over and over again. “The Emperor’s New ... read more

  • The Nudist That Wasn't

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 2, 2005
    Pros: witty script, good direction, good use of the voices
    Cons: lame story idea

    Summary: Disney trotted out this animated comedy back in 2000, hoping to make a killing during the winter holidays. It debuted at number one, but the weekend of December 15-17 was a virtual shut-out, so this film became "the emperor of $9.8 million." With a ... read more

    Cons: No big cons for this one.

    Summary: Once upon a time, Disney made funny, enjoyable cartoons. I'm happy to say that "The Emperor's New Groove" is one of them. It doesn't have a heavy duty plot with a parent or family member getting killed off or a politically correct ... read more

    Feb 14, 2004
    Pros: David Spade is awesome as a voice actor

    Pros: Inventive, original, funny. Jokes for both adults and children.

    Pros: Cute, funny, and interesting. Characteristics of a good movie.
    Cons: Ends just when the action begins.

    Feb 8, 2002
    Pros: a very funny cartoon
    Cons: none

    Summary: I wont admit to being a big Disney fan, as for my taste most Disney cartoons are just a bit too “nice” if you know what I mean. There is usually a love story and the good always win, that sort of stuff. Also most Disney cartoons have too many songs in ... read more

    Pros: Delightfully entertaining for all age groups.
    Cons: The title makes the movie sound stupid.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 28, 2001
    Pros: John Goodman and David Spade were funny at times.
    Cons: stupid plot, bad musical numbers, no magic and romance of past Disney films.

    Summary: Personal Note: First I'd like to begin by apologizing to my regular readers for my slight absence from epinions. I became frustrated when two of my epinions got permanently lost and then I had house guests for a while and discovered ... read more
