      Storyline

      Edit

      Did you know

      Edit
      • Trivia
        Patrick Warburton improvised when Kronk hummed his own theme song when he was carrying Kuzco (David Spade) in the bag to the waterfall. Disney's legal department had Warburton sign all rights to the humming composition over to them.
      • Goofs
        The theme song describes Kuzco as an icon in "Mesoamerican history". Mesoamerica stretched from Mexico to Central America, not Peru where the story takes place.
      • Quotes

        [plotting ways to kill Kuzco]

        Yzma: Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I'll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little 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...

        [laughs]

        Yzma: ...I'll smash it with a hammer! It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!

        [knocks over bottle of poison on flower, which shrivels up and dies]

        Yzma: Or, to save on postage, I'll just poison him with this!

      • Crazy credits
        In the closing Walt Disney Pictures logo, after the arc is drawn over the castle, it disappears.
      • Alternate versions
        In the original version, Kuzco throws a rock at Pacha. On Disney+ and future releases, that rock has turned into an acorn.

      I absolutely love this movie!
      How great is this? A movie about a talking lama. I absolutely love this movie, from beginning to end. I don't know how many times I have watched this movie, but I am guessing in the over 10 area. This is the only movie that I find funnier dubbed in Norwegian than in the original language. It is absolutely hilarious, I don't care what age you are. Although I think adults understands more of the jokes in the movie, but that doesn't mean that kids won't find it funny. The movie is a story of betrayal, friendship, love and lots and lots of humour. It doesn't seem like I can ever get tired of this movie. Why? Because it is absolutely fantastic! I am 24 years old, so there aren't any age boundaries here. I rate this movie 10/10
