    Found out that yesterday (the 15th) was The Emperor's New Groove 25th anniversay. Funny enough, a day earlier, I happened to rewatched the movie on VHS. Anyways, still a true classic that is also peak comedy.

    I hope Disney doesn't continue making live action slop, and if they do, then I REALLY hope they don't take on the Emperor's New Groove but if they do? I think it would be a lot more interesting if that adaptation was straight up the cancelled Kingdom of the Sun movie instead

    I don't understand people who hate Wreck it Ralh because they find Sarah Silverman annoying. Finding an actor annoying doesn't make the movie itself bad. ffs most people agree The Emperor's New Groove is great, despite having divisive feelings towards its lead actor.

    More thoughts on a movie mashup between 'Road to El Dorado' and 'The Emperor's New Groove'. 'Road to El Kuzco', as a title, needs some work. But Elton John's soundtrack would be lit, with songs like "Pull That Lever!" What songs and/or other movie mashups would YOU like to see happen?

    I've seen people say that "The Emperor's New Groove" is too silly to get a Kingdom Hearts world. but if the fucking direct to video Three Musketeers movie with Mickey, Donald and Goofy can get its own world in one of the games... then I disagree.

    The Emperor's New Groove is probably the closest to seeing what a Disney Animation film would be like if it was written and directed by Chuck Jones. Which is the ultimate compliment I can say on why I love it. Happy 25th anniversary to arguably Disney Animation's funniest film! 😊

    Since the Kronk dance has become a bit of a meme recently, I guess there's no better time than to mention how... well, not this movie specifically, but how pretty much everything released after 'The Emperor's New Groove' somehow managed to be a lot more bonkers... and not in a good way.

    *The Emperor's New Groove* was suppose to be the next *Lion King*. They signed on Sting for the project and his wife got the okay to film it's making. Delays, bugrt overruns, and just not getting it to work made the production unworkable. It was salvaged for the movie we have now. Sting's wife showed her documentary at a film festival. Disney did not like her documentary. Disney owns the rights to the documentary. You can only watch it on a pirate ship. Search for the *The Sweatbox*. *My Best…
