Honestly once you get past the whole attempted murder thing, Kronk really is the best guy. You can't help but be endeared. Truly my fave himbo in cinematic history.
I don't know about unique he's a pretty classic himbo it's not uncommon for them to add Savant traits to characters of that archetype because the dichotomy of how they present and the spontaneous bouts of intelligence are funny. I just think that he's one of the best ones out there. Plus, yknow....it's fucking Pat Warburton, love that man
Honestly the writing is good but the thing that makes it funny is definitely Eartha Kitt's delivery the way she says hammer gets me to cackle every time
What I really love about this movie, in addition to Kuzco's redemption, is the hilarious comedy duo that is Yzma and Kronk. I love how they bounce off each other, and Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton both gave it their all wth their voice acting.
Kronk is so dumb he's accidentally smart, and Yzma is so smart she's accidentally dumb. They've got so many brain cells between them but for some silly reason, she continuously relies on just his single one. 😆 My favorite Disney comedic duo of all time.
One of my fave little details I never noticed until I was older was, during the dinner scene, you see Yzma toss her drink out onto the cactus behind her and, when Kuzco starts turning into a llama and it pans to her, you see that the cactus becomes llama-shaped too XD
Also, Kronk's tent is a bit of an adult joke on 'pitching a tent'. And the reason the angel was impressed by the devil's handstand is cause he can't do it cause he's wearing a 'dress'. xD
One thing that I never paid attention to until I was older is how similar Yzma and Kuzco actually are. When she claims she "practically raise him" parallels alot on how they both are self indulged. Especially the restaurant scene sitting across from another they are acting pretty much alike.
I feel like that was the point. Kuzco didn't have parents, only Yzma as his mother figure, and she's an arrogant, self absorbed asshole, and Kuzco learned from her. But he meets Pacha and his family, and they essentially adopt him by the end to be parents that could actually teach him how to be a good person.
@@zyun-jan6428 Yeah. It took me a while, but I got it too. I love that he becomes like their super wealthy, all-powerful teenage son. Pacha's wife even knits him a llama poncho! 😊
This movie is a meme in my house. We'll quote it at the most random times: "Yay! I'm a Llama again!" "Excuse me, I'm a cow. Can I go home?" "You're excused, anyone else?" "No, no we're good."
Cusco (as spelled in Spanish) was the capital city of the Inca empire in South America. Pacha is the native word for Earth, Pachamama being Mother Earth. The Incas territories were vast, they ran from Ecuador through Perú, Bolivia and parts of Chile and Argentina. With all that being said....I LOVE THIS MOVIE, I've loved it since I first saw it, and every time I watch it I enjoy as the first time. (this was my first time watching it in English...felt weird...hehehehe)
They also never developed a monetary system for the whole public. They traded and lots was based on doing things for other people, I work for you you do some work for me, or make me something I need. Also their agricultural developments were significant despite not having Brady’s of burden, and a lot of their agricultural fields still get irrigated by ancient water works, as well as a intricate system of fountains for drinking water. Not to mention the absolutely mind boggling architectural achievements. Rocks weighing dozens of tons and transported hundreds of miles over canyons and up mountains that are like 12000ft high, and smoothed out to be so flat and smooth it would take extremely precise power tools and someone highly skilled even today.
Ertha Kitt was robbed of an Emmy nomination for her performance here. It's incredible. Everybody in the movie is wonderful and Kronk would be nothing if not for Patrick but Ertha really ate her role up.
21:24 And thus... the memes were born. Let's be real here, while The Emperor's New groove still would've been a Disney classic and memorable part of our childhoods, it wouldn't of been half as good as it was if not for Patrick Warburton's legendary performance as Kronk. No one can deny he practically carried this movie. I honesty wouldn't be surprised if most of his lines were totally improvised. He's such a comedic gem ❤
Jesus are Eartha Kitt & Patrick Warburton a suprisingly great comedic duo. Also I like how Kuzco isn’t portrayed as dumb, just childish & arrogant. He says things that are cleary intelligent, he just never had a need or desire to use them
I like how despite the fact that Yzma is an evil genius, she can be surprisingly wholesome. She played double dutch with the kids while explaining her plan to Kronk, allowed Kronk to work at the diner and she sent the guard who asked home when he turned into a cow 😂
14:25 I don't know why, but my favorite line in this movie for some reason was always when Kuzco says here "Bring it on" before the waterfall, he said it so perfectly that I always burst out laughing.🤣🤣🤣
9:14 Someone speculated that since the potion gets watered down with the wine that's why Kuzco slowly changes bit by bit, whereas later on the transformation is instant with the other (non tampered with)potions. 27:20 Catwoman

@@bookworm598There's another dub (I don't remember which language) where he says something like "Even the animators don't know" (someone said that in a comment on the reaction to this movie by Welchy)
Me three and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about what I say right

Kronk and his little tent is such a dirty joke. I never noticed how crazy the squirrel’s eyes got right before it popped the balloon too. I laughed harder than I think I should have considering I’ve seen this movie a bunch. 😂
Huh, I never noticed how, at the very end, when the old man punches Kuzco in the arm, he doesn't say "No touchy" like he would have done earlier in the movie. He even pats him on the shoulder as he walks away. It's a very subtle way of showing how far he's come.
The film started out as a Prince and Pauper film called Kingdom of the Sun in 1994, described by Lion King co-director Roger Allers as an "epic picture mixing elements of adventure, comedy, romance and mysticism". It would have been in the traditional style of Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. The plot would've involved a greedy, selfish emperor who finds a peasant who looks just like him, so the emperor swaps places with the peasant for fun. Meanwhile, the evil witch Yzma has plans to summon the evil god Supai and capture the sun so that she may retain her youth forever. Discovering the switch between the prince and the peasant, Yzma turns the emperor into a llama and threatens to reveal the pauper's identity unless he obeys her. The emperor learns An Aesop about humility, and ends up loving a llama herder named Mata. Together, she and the emperor set out to stop Yzma's evil plans. Sting was signed on as the song composer. Disney execs thought that due to the poor critical and commercial reception of Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, both of which were serious dramatic musicals in the vein of Sun, the film would be unsuccessful. Compounding this was the fact that the release date had been firmly set at the year 2000, and by 1998 it was clear that production would not wrap up in time. Disney execs ordered production on Sun to be halted. Almost all the original plot points and characters were scrapped. Most of Sting's compositions were cut as well. The film became transformed into a "Looney Tunes meets The Muppets"-style slapstick buddy comedy. While the end result was warmly received by critics, who found it a breath of fresh air compared to most of Disney's fare, animator Andreas Deja, who supervised animation on Yzma during Sun, was displeased with what the film was reworked into, and left to work on Lilo & Stitch before the retool. Allers was also disappointed with the final film, calling it a "simple slapstick comedy", and saying that if he had had more time, he could've made the film according to his original visions.
I get how hard it can be to see your vision turned into something completely removed from its original form... but... ...BUT... The film it became is one of my favorites... So I can't be too empathetic.
Honestly, the film as it was originally imagined would have been a much more artistic and 'worthy' film........and would not have had anything like the audience.
Favorite subtle genius moment: when Kronk is sneaking around at night and freezes mid-step against the wall to avoid being seen... the massive carvings of the two cheiftains on the wall are pointing directly down at him.
Kronk is himbo of all time 😂this movie is amazing. Among the many lines that went 10,000 feet over my head as a kid, when they're at the diner and Pacha tells the waitress it's their honeymoon and she says "bless you for coming out in public" absolutely KILLS me as an adult.
In spanish it was "fea con F de foca" (the spanish words for "ugly" and "seal" both start with "F"). Sometimes this kind of sentence is done to clarify / emphasise words or spellings. So the spanish translation meant something like "ugly with a mayor U" (that's the closest I can get re-translating it back to english).
"How did you get here before us?!" "We- ... How did we, Kronk?" "Well, ya got me... by all accounts, it doesn't make sense." This movie is still one of the most quotable films I've ever watched. Kronk in particular is a quote gold mine.
Kronk’s New Groove was the sequel move. The spin off TV show was The Emperor’s New School, Kuzco in high school, with Yzma as the principal! It’s hilarious!
guys I´m pretty sure is based on peruvian culture, Cuzco is the town where Machu-Pichu is, a lot of words are quechua (native peruvian language) like Pacha, it means earth; and the clothes and crown are all from the Inca emperor; plus all the cultural references like the llamas, the poncho and the style of the houses and temples
Eartha Kitt is iconically known as one of Adam West's Batman's Catwoman. One of the pioneering actresses of colour even back then, as well as a well respected jazz singer and spokespeople. It's kind of sad her immense cultural impact has been lost to history
She was an amazing black woman who was an incredible civil rights activist! I'm so glade that she lived. She was also a great singer and dancer, who was the first to record the hit"Santa Baby"!
Here in Bolivia, many communities still speak Quechua to this day, and that has made some words sneak into our slang and vocabulary. When I first saw the movie, I found some of the names interesting. Pacha literally means "Earth". In fact, the one native goddess that still has cult to this day is a mother earth goddess literally called "Pachamama". Also, Pacha's wife is named Chicha, which is a native alcoholic drink that still exists today. As for Kuzco, that was name of the Inca Empire's capital city, which is in modern day Peru.
Now Eric can recognise the time that Rick played as Yzma the last time they played Disney Villainous on Game Night. Yeah, Jafar, Hades and Yzma are three of the best villains in all of Disney.
My fav lesson that Kuzco learned is that people who TRULY care about you are the ones who will call you out on your bs and help you straighten yourself out, and that’s the company you should keep.❤ After being surrounded by “Yes” men and women all his childhood-teenhood and practically raised by Yzma lol. Still to this day "My Funny Friend and Me" is one of my fav songs ever and this movie being so hilarious and heartfelt and so quote-able AND gave me that song?! Love it so much.
Disney just doesn't make 'em like this anymore man. This was funny. Like I was healthy laughing at this. Fun writing, fun characters, phenomenal voices for EVERY ONE. Even like the mom who didn't have that many lines I remember her voice vividly. Simple story as well. Just an all around good watch. 16:24 Eric... The amount of times I've asked this to myself about idiots I have to deal with in REAL LIFE is astounding.
Kronk's New Groove is a sequel movie. The series was The Emperor's New School. Ymza and Kronk's actors reprised their roles. Pacha's actor came back for season 2
This is such a childhood nostalgia hit for me. I remember trailers when the movie was first coming. My mother surprised me and my sister one morning with this movie, when she rented from On Demand for a week. that waterfall scene really stuck with me. It's still funny to this day. The cast is fantastic.
Sad thing is I don't remember a single line from Pancha's wife, yet now, thanks to Owl House, I know she's one of the funniest voice actors Disney has. Had.
Kuzco is the emperor of the Inca, one of the biggest civilizations in America. Llamas were (and still are in modern-day Peru) very important to the Empire's economic growth because of their wool and their ability to move through the Andes where the empire was located!
Getting Tom Jones to do the original song was absolute perfection! Also, there's a movie called Hoodwinked that is absolutely spectacular and you would LOVE it. It's basically Rashomon meets Little Red Riding Hood and Patrick Warburton (Kronk) voices the Big Bad Wolf, Anne Hathaway is Red, Glenn Close is Grandma, plus many, many other heavy hitters. The animation is *really* rough because it was a fledgling studio with no money, but the script and caliber of voice acting talent is beyond perfect.
This is one of those films that it just looks like the animators and screenwritters were just having fun with it, like, it was supposed to be a epic musical but they just went "yeah, i don't wanna, lets do something fun!". Thats why i love this movie, i wish there were more movies like this, the fun ones the directors just say "do whatever :)" and it ends up so funny.
This is easily one of the best movies Disney has ever made, always a must see movie! By the way, it is not Mesopotamia, it's the Inca Empire predominantly from Peru! I'm so glad you guys reacted to this movie, always a classic.
I can tell that Eartha Kitt had so much fun doing the voice for Yzma 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also the dinner scene I’m surprised no one mentioned that the cactus Yzma poured her drink on turned into a llama shaped cactus🤣🤣
Honestly peak comedy. I had only one dvd before people stopped using and it was Emperor's New Groove. Needless to say I religiously watched it when I was a kid lol
The fact that David spade plays kuzcos voice , shows the effort that Disney put into the movie. Childhood favorite, and probably in my top 3 Disney movies of all time 🤷♂️
I remember there was a trailer for this movie at the start of a VHS we owned, and the stinger at the end of the trailer was the Waterfall scene. My sisters and I wore out the VHS watching that bit on repeat because it cracked us up so goddamn much.
Definitely a wonderful surprise to see this reaction pop up. I hadn't seen this movie initially, but a few years later, and it's safely in my Top 5 for Disney. The writing, the humor, the voice acting, the absolute energy, all spot on. I also love how contrary it runs with some conventions we had seen with Disney, such as only 1 musical number and Yzma, although she falls, does not fall to her death.
This movie went through a big change in story when it was made. It was originally gonna be a prince and the popper type story where the prince and a peasant who looks like him would switch places. Yzma was still a villain but her motivations were that her family was the advisors for all the rulers of the kingdom and her father taught her how to do magic. She hated being advisor to a baby for her life and hated the sun for making her look old The story would be that she wanted to block out the sun and restore her youth There’s actually a full song they made for her sung by the actor and it’s amazing. It’s not fully animated sadly just some animatics of it
2:47 - Try Meso-America. This is Incan stuff. 9:16 - Note the cactus where Izma threw her drink. 11:16 - Chicka is the first pregnant woman ever in a Disney animated feature. She's also played by my favorite 'old lady' actress, Wendy Malick. 15:33 - If you look carefully at the falling pieces of bridge right here, they spell out the word 'Damn.' 27:36 - Eartha Kitt's REAL reaction to hearing her kitten voice (which you apparently cut). 32:42 - Kronk's New Groove was the Direct-To-DVD sequel to this movie. The spin-off show was The Emperor's New School. 41:01 -There's a BIG reason for that. This movie was in production during a major upheaval in Disney leadership and the movie changed DRASTICALLY because of it. This movie is the first of the Post-Renaissance period of Disney films. It's too deep a story to get into here, but try to find a documentary called 'The Sweatbox.' It tells the story of the movie's production. (I say TRY because Disney has tried real hard to sweep it under the rug.)
Fun Fact: The Emperor's New Groove was originally going to be a full musical, originally titled "Kingdom of the Sun", but only 1 musical number was completed before they decided to change direction into a straightforward cartoon comedy. (The song was called "Turn Out the Light" and you can find it on RUclips, highly recommended)
This really is a perfect movie. One of my favorite cartoons and so many quotable lines. My kids and I yell "Pull the lever!" when we go down waterslides. I've seen it a hundred times, I still react the same way Eric did having never see it!
Oh my God. I'm so happy to see this pop up. I became a patron for one month just for Community and got to vote a lot of these movies. I was so happy to see How To Train Your Dragon get selected and now this. I hope it continues and we get a lot more of these awesome animated film reactions
I’ve never seen Rick laugh this much in a reaction before 😂. I’ve waited for you guys to react to this!! It makes me laugh just as much as it did when I was a kid when I saw it for the first time, maybe even more so.
It is based on the Inca Empire from Peru. The word Pacha means earth or land in Quechua, a native language of the Andean region, which is quite fitting considering that Pacha wants to keep his land.

Not ironically, I think Kronk is one of the characters with the most charisma in animation, he is unique
This makes sense because literally everyone falls in love with him when they watch this movie.
He's also a good example of positive masculinity in that he's a big strong guy who fits the image of a macho man and is a joy be around and selfless
Honestly once you get past the whole attempted murder thing, Kronk really is the best guy. You can't help but be endeared. Truly my fave himbo in cinematic history.
the quintessential Himbo
I don't know about unique he's a pretty classic himbo it's not uncommon for them to add Savant traits to characters of that archetype because the dichotomy of how they present and the spontaneous bouts of intelligence are funny. I just think that he's one of the best ones out there. Plus, yknow....it's fucking Pat Warburton, love that man
The animation, the comedy, the character writing, the fourth wall breaking, the voice acting... Everything in this movie is on POINT!
The scene in the restaurant is one of the best examples of farce I have ever seen.
I remember watching all the time as a kid, such fond memories, i pretty much remember most of the movie 😊
Same for me and i still love it! 😁😄
You meant to say "the animation, the comedy, the character writing, the fourth wall breaking, the voice acting... Oh yeah, it's all coming together!"
Don't forget the AMAZING Intro Music and of course the best part of all, Kronk and Yzma!
Disney will never top the hilarity of Yzma's ridiculously elaborate plan of just putting a flea in a box and smashing it with a hammer
And taking the time to have said box delivered in the mail; just to do that. 😆
She is the most hilarious Disney villain
It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. But poison would simpler to save on portage
Honestly the writing is good but the thing that makes it funny is definitely Eartha Kitt's delivery the way she says hammer gets me to cackle every time
🤣🤣🤣
What I really love about this movie, in addition to Kuzco's redemption, is the hilarious comedy duo that is Yzma and Kronk. I love how they bounce off each other, and Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton both gave it their all wth their voice acting.
Best part is this wasn’t scripted, the entire thing was improvised
She sang a great song when the movie was still called Kingdom of the Sun too
That song slaps🔥
kronk is my new hero
Kronk is so dumb he's accidentally smart, and Yzma is so smart she's accidentally dumb. They've got so many brain cells between them but for some silly reason, she continuously relies on just his single one. 😆 My favorite Disney comedic duo of all time.
@@orbboom6119 It's a crime they didn't give THE Eartha Kitt a song
As a kid this movie is fun but as an adult it’s hysterical. Genuinely love all the jokes and meta humor. Kronk especially
28:57 yes, of course.
One of my fave little details I never noticed until I was older was, during the dinner scene, you see Yzma toss her drink out onto the cactus behind her and, when Kuzco starts turning into a llama and it pans to her, you see that the cactus becomes llama-shaped too XD
Good to know.
And that epic villain kitty laugh is The Best. It's on the same level as the evil cat in Cats & Dogs
Also, Kronk's tent is a bit of an adult joke on 'pitching a tent'. And the reason the angel was impressed by the devil's handstand is cause he can't do it cause he's wearing a 'dress'. xD
I think the DVD commentary, the director or whoever jokes about how they never thought to have a patch of llama fur growing on Kronk's shoulder
Kronk is legit just one of the most pure of hearted characters in all of fiction, a literal saint among men.
Squeak squeaken.
What’s funny is, he helps Yzma do incredibly evil stuff this whole movie, but I think he’s just too dumb to realize what he’s doing.
@@calvinjohnson6242he’s definitely only doing it cause it’s his job he has no idea what he’s doing 😭
The textbook himbo.
I love how offended everyone who watches this gets so offended on Kronks behalf when Yzma says she never liked his spinach puffs
Fun Fact : the old man that got tossed out of the window, John Fiedler, was the original voice of Piglet from Winnie The Pooh!
I can hear it at the end of the movie
"Ohh, d'd'd'd' dear!" 🐖

They also never developed a monetary system for the whole public. They traded and lots was based on doing things for other people, I work for you you do some work for me, or make me something I need.
Also their agricultural developments were significant despite not having Brady’s of burden, and a lot of their agricultural fields still get irrigated by ancient water works, as well as a intricate system of fountains for drinking water.
Not to mention the absolutely mind boggling architectural achievements. Rocks weighing dozens of tons and transported hundreds of miles over canyons and up mountains that are like 12000ft high, and smoothed out to be so flat and smooth it would take extremely precise power tools and someone highly skilled even today.

The film started out as a Prince and Pauper film called Kingdom of the Sun in 1994, described by Lion King co-director Roger Allers as an "epic picture mixing elements of adventure, comedy, romance and mysticism". It would have been in the traditional style of Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. The plot would've involved a greedy, selfish emperor who finds a peasant who looks just like him, so the emperor swaps places with the peasant for fun. Meanwhile, the evil witch Yzma has plans to summon the evil god Supai and capture the sun so that she may retain her youth forever. Discovering the switch between the prince and the peasant, Yzma turns the emperor into a llama and threatens to reveal the pauper's identity unless he obeys her. The emperor learns An Aesop about humility, and ends up loving a llama herder named Mata. Together, she and the emperor set out to stop Yzma's evil plans. Sting was signed on as the song composer. Disney execs thought that due to the poor critical and commercial reception of Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, both of which were serious dramatic musicals in the vein of Sun, the film would be unsuccessful. Compounding this was the fact that the release date had been firmly set at the year 2000, and by 1998 it was clear that production would not wrap up in time. Disney execs ordered production on Sun to be halted. Almost all the original plot points and characters were scrapped. Most of Sting's compositions were cut as well. The film became transformed into a "Looney Tunes meets The Muppets"-style slapstick buddy comedy. While the end result was warmly received by critics, who found it a breath of fresh air compared to most of Disney's fare, animator Andreas Deja, who supervised animation on Yzma during Sun, was displeased with what the film was reworked into, and left to work on Lilo & Stitch before the retool. Allers was also disappointed with the final film, calling it a "simple slapstick comedy", and saying that if he had had more time, he could've made the film according to his original visions.
That original actually sounds like it could’ve been fun. But man this ended up being iconic, if a bit of an underperformer.
I get how hard it can be to see your vision turned into something completely removed from its original form...
but...
...BUT...
The film it became is one of my favorites...
So I can't be too empathetic.
Honestly, the film as it was originally imagined would have been a much more artistic and 'worthy' film........and would not have had anything like the audience.
Honestly, I’d rather have what we got
Big W for executives here
Favorite subtle genius moment: when Kronk is sneaking around at night and freezes mid-step against the wall to avoid being seen... the massive carvings of the two cheiftains on the wall are pointing directly down at him.
Kronk is himbo of all time 😂this movie is amazing. Among the many lines that went 10,000 feet over my head as a kid, when they're at the diner and Pacha tells the waitress it's their honeymoon and she says "bless you for coming out in public" absolutely KILLS me as an adult.
Fun fact: This film is the first film we group watched as a community in the Blind Wave discord
In Polish the "scary beyond all reason" line was translated to "so old your brain wrinkles" which I found entertaining
Polish translation is absolutely brilliant, and I've watched it far more times than I care to admit :D
Apparently the Polish dub of Shrek is also really good
In Finnish her appearance is described as "Like a predatory bird's behind," a burn that is forever etched into my mind.
In the Brazilian dub, they said "uglier than a scythe fight" and I break down every time I hear it.
In spanish it was "fea con F de foca" (the spanish words for "ugly" and "seal" both start with "F"). Sometimes this kind of sentence is done to clarify / emphasise words or spellings.
So the spanish translation meant something like "ugly with a mayor U" (that's the closest I can get re-translating it back to english).
I ADORE this film - Stacked cast, unique animation style, jokes that are still funny on multiple rewatches, and a fantastically written protagonist
I’ve never heard Rick laugh harder than when the old man threw off Kuzko’s groove 😂😂😂
Brooklynn 99 the Duck. he was so close to busting a gut standing over his chair
"How did you get here before us?!"
"We- ... How did we, Kronk?"
"Well, ya got me... by all accounts, it doesn't make sense."
This movie is still one of the most quotable films I've ever watched. Kronk in particular is a quote gold mine.
I adore this reaction so much! Glad you guys enjoyed such a classic!
Kronk’s New Groove was the sequel move. The spin off TV show was The Emperor’s New School, Kuzco in high school, with Yzma as the principal! It’s hilarious!
Seeing Rick [and everyone] laughing so hard and being happy watching this movie... my heart is happy
guys I´m pretty sure is based on peruvian culture, Cuzco is the town where Machu-Pichu is, a lot of words are quechua (native peruvian language) like Pacha, it means earth; and the clothes and crown are all from the Inca emperor; plus all the cultural references like the llamas, the poncho and the style of the houses and temples
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he meant to say "Mesoamerican", not "Mesopotamian"
@@CrownofMischief Which would still be wrong as mesoamerica is around Mexico lol. But its fine
Eartha Kitt is iconically known as one of Adam West's Batman's Catwoman. One of the pioneering actresses of colour even back then, as well as a well respected jazz singer and spokespeople. It's kind of sad her immense cultural impact has been lost to history
Her activism had her blacklisted for a long time, especially after the media denounced her for speaking truth and making Lady Bird cry
She was an amazing black woman who was an incredible civil rights activist! I'm so glade that she lived. She was also a great singer and dancer, who was the first to record the hit"Santa Baby"!
The fact that this film wasn't a hit on it's release, and is still virtually unknown and underrated...WHAT A TRAVESTY!!! It's such a hilarious movie!
Fun fact: the movie take places in the Peruvian highlands, it is based on the pre colombian civilizations, like Machu Picchu. It´s not Mesopotamia. =D
I lost my mind when they said Mesopotamia. Makes zero sense and I don't have any faith in them figuring it out lol
The laughs at 28:20, specifically Rick’s, give me so much serotonin 😂
This was a win for Disney with the amount of memes that came out of this and got popular for a long while 😂
Still one of the best and most underrated animated movies ever. Would be so awesome if you reacted to Treasure Planet next!
Or Atlantis: The Lost Empire!
@@seanpatrickcain2 yeah that's a nice one too!
With Black Sails under their belts, they have to do Treasure Planet, right?
@@ShadowTrailMedia I sure hope so
Fun easter egg not many people notice at 9:16 the plant she threw her drink into slowly turns into a lama
Here in Bolivia, many communities still speak Quechua to this day, and that has made some words sneak into our slang and vocabulary.
When I first saw the movie, I found some of the names interesting.
Pacha literally means "Earth". In fact, the one native goddess that still has cult to this day is a mother earth goddess literally called "Pachamama".
Also, Pacha's wife is named Chicha, which is a native alcoholic drink that still exists today.
As for Kuzco, that was name of the Inca Empire's capital city, which is in modern day Peru.
Now Eric can recognise the time that Rick played as Yzma the last time they played Disney Villainous on Game Night.
Yeah, Jafar, Hades and Yzma are three of the best villains in all of Disney.
I love playing Yzma. When ever I pull the “Smash it with a hammer” card I have to do it in her voice.
My fav lesson that Kuzco learned is that people who TRULY care about you are the ones who will call you out on your bs and help you straighten yourself out, and that’s the company you should keep.❤ After being surrounded by “Yes” men and women all his childhood-teenhood and practically raised by Yzma lol.
Still to this day "My Funny Friend and Me" is one of my fav songs ever and this movie being so hilarious and heartfelt and so quote-able AND gave me that song?! Love it so much.
Man, those laughs make me so happy. Sometimes it's just, so great, to see people just enjoying something.
Disney just doesn't make 'em like this anymore man. This was funny. Like I was healthy laughing at this. Fun writing, fun characters, phenomenal voices for EVERY ONE. Even like the mom who didn't have that many lines I remember her voice vividly. Simple story as well. Just an all around good watch.
16:24 Eric... The amount of times I've asked this to myself about idiots I have to deal with in REAL LIFE is astounding.
Kronk's New Groove is a sequel movie. The series was The Emperor's New School. Ymza and Kronk's actors reprised their roles. Pacha's actor came back for season 2
You could tell Rick really loves this movie. He was smiling more than ive ever seen him
The show was actually "Emporer's New School", what RIck named is the Kronk-centered straight-to-DVD special.
This is such a childhood nostalgia hit for me. I remember trailers when the movie was first coming. My mother surprised me and my sister one morning with this movie, when she rented from On Demand for a week. that waterfall scene really stuck with me. It's still funny to this day. The cast is fantastic.
Man, I really love their enthusiasm to just appreciate these old gems. It's great to see them really just enjoy the movie.
“What are you kidding?! This HAND CARVED Mahogany!”
This is without a doubt Top 3 funniest movies I’ve seen ever. Very few have come close.
Sad thing is I don't remember a single line from Pancha's wife, yet now, thanks to Owl House, I know she's one of the funniest voice actors Disney has. Had.
Wendie Malick is one of the best of the best
25:13 Fun fact: the joke on the spanish(Latin America) dubb is "I don't know Yzma, I don't think it's because of the magic of movies".
There's so many little moments in this movie that are just hilarious but blink and you'll miss them. Makes it a great rewatch. Classic
Kuzco is the emperor of the Inca, one of the biggest civilizations in America. Llamas were (and still are in modern-day Peru) very important to the Empire's economic growth because of their wool and their ability to move through the Andes where the empire was located!
I'm about a minute and a half into this reaction and Rick is already in stitches; this is going to be an amazing video 😆
Getting Tom Jones to do the original song was absolute perfection!
Also, there's a movie called Hoodwinked that is absolutely spectacular and you would LOVE it. It's basically Rashomon meets Little Red Riding Hood and Patrick Warburton (Kronk) voices the Big Bad Wolf, Anne Hathaway is Red, Glenn Close is Grandma, plus many, many other heavy hitters. The animation is *really* rough because it was a fledgling studio with no money, but the script and caliber of voice acting talent is beyond perfect.
Hell yes!! Hoodwinked!, The Emperor’s New Groove, and Megamind are a triumvirate of brilliant comedy animated movies
Eric's reaction to the old man being thrown out the window was priceless! That and the trampoline plot device are my favorite parts of this reaction.
I had forgotten how many gags and such were in that movie. I think it's time for a re-watch. I haven't seen it since it was first released.
32:43 No Kronk's New Groove was a sequel, The TV Show was The Emperor's New School.
Patrick Warburton is a treasure. Kronk is just one example of his amazing VA work. Or even just his acting in general ❤
After this, I need some Brock Sampson
I love how the cactus in the dinner scene turns into a llama, too. LOL!
This is one of those films that it just looks like the animators and screenwritters were just having fun with it, like, it was supposed to be a epic musical but they just went "yeah, i don't wanna, lets do something fun!". Thats why i love this movie, i wish there were more movies like this, the fun ones the directors just say "do whatever :)" and it ends up so funny.
"Break it down? Ya kiddin' me? This is hand-carved mahogany"
This is easily one of the best movies Disney has ever made, always a must see movie! By the way, it is not Mesopotamia, it's the Inca Empire predominantly from Peru! I'm so glad you guys reacted to this movie, always a classic.
I can tell that Eartha Kitt had so much fun doing the voice for Yzma 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also the dinner scene I’m surprised no one mentioned that the cactus Yzma poured her drink on turned into a llama shaped cactus🤣🤣
Honestly peak comedy. I had only one dvd before people stopped using and it was Emperor's New Groove. Needless to say I religiously watched it when I was a kid lol
The fact that David spade plays kuzcos voice , shows the effort that Disney put into the movie. Childhood favorite, and probably in my top 3 Disney movies of all time 🤷♂️
I remember there was a trailer for this movie at the start of a VHS we owned, and the stinger at the end of the trailer was the Waterfall scene. My sisters and I wore out the VHS watching that bit on repeat because it cracked us up so goddamn much.
19:21 LOLLL, old Disney movies know how to have the best comedy!
Definitely a wonderful surprise to see this reaction pop up. I hadn't seen this movie initially, but a few years later, and it's safely in my Top 5 for Disney. The writing, the humor, the voice acting, the absolute energy, all spot on. I also love how contrary it runs with some conventions we had seen with Disney, such as only 1 musical number and Yzma, although she falls, does not fall to her death.
It’ll always surprise me which movies that Rick LOVES and laughs at all the way through. So happy for another one of those reactions today :)
This and Road to Eldorardo were my go to movies for many years. Brilliant and great to see your reaction to it.
eartha kitt and patrick warburtton really form one of the most entertaining villain duos ever
Atlantis the Lost Enpire had no songs. Apparently, the crew had shirts that said “Fewer Songs, More Explosions”
This movie went through a big change in story when it was made. It was originally gonna be a prince and the popper type story where the prince and a peasant who looks like him would switch places. Yzma was still a villain but her motivations were that her family was the advisors for all the rulers of the kingdom and her father taught her how to do magic. She hated being advisor to a baby for her life and hated the sun for making her look old
The story would be that she wanted to block out the sun and restore her youth
There’s actually a full song they made for her sung by the actor and it’s amazing. It’s not fully animated sadly just some animatics of it
My favorite line in this movie still has to be "Welp! He aint gettin any deader!" 😂😂
Absolute classic that I watched every day whenever my family went on vacation. It's so much funnier as an adult.
Whenever something bad happens to me I always go “ugh why me?? Why me?? Why me???” Like Yzma lmao
2:47 - Try Meso-America. This is Incan stuff.
9:16 - Note the cactus where Izma threw her drink.
11:16 - Chicka is the first pregnant woman ever in a Disney animated feature. She's also played by my favorite 'old lady' actress, Wendy Malick.
15:33 - If you look carefully at the falling pieces of bridge right here, they spell out the word 'Damn.'
27:36 - Eartha Kitt's REAL reaction to hearing her kitten voice (which you apparently cut).
32:42 - Kronk's New Groove was the Direct-To-DVD sequel to this movie. The spin-off show was The Emperor's New School.
41:01 -There's a BIG reason for that. This movie was in production during a major upheaval in Disney leadership and the movie changed DRASTICALLY because of it. This movie is the first of the Post-Renaissance period of Disney films. It's too deep a story to get into here, but try to find a documentary called 'The Sweatbox.' It tells the story of the movie's production. (I say TRY because Disney has tried real hard to sweep it under the rug.)
Thats AMAZING!!! Can’t believe I’m watching this again with you guys
Kronks new groove is an actual movie sequel where the Emperors New school is the tv show
Fun Fact: The Emperor's New Groove was originally going to be a full musical, originally titled "Kingdom of the Sun", but only 1 musical number was completed before they decided to change direction into a straightforward cartoon comedy.
(The song was called "Turn Out the Light" and you can find it on RUclips, highly recommended)
To this DAY I still quote this movie by heart! I love this movie so much and I'm so happy you guys watched this!
This really is a perfect movie. One of my favorite cartoons and so many quotable lines. My kids and I yell "Pull the lever!" when we go down waterslides. I've seen it a hundred times, I still react the same way Eric did having never see it!
Oh my God. I'm so happy to see this pop up. I became a patron for one month just for Community and got to vote a lot of these movies. I was so happy to see How To Train Your Dragon get selected and now this. I hope it continues and we get a lot more of these awesome animated film reactions
I’ve never seen Rick laugh this much in a reaction before 😂. I’ve waited for you guys to react to this!! It makes me laugh just as much as it did when I was a kid when I saw it for the first time, maybe even more so.
"Why do we even _have_ that lever?" is giving strong Galaxy Quest "who designed the ship this way?" vibes.
Omg yes! Totally agree! 💯🤣😎
It is based on the Inca Empire from Peru. The word Pacha means earth or land in Quechua, a native language of the Andean region, which is quite fitting considering that Pacha wants to keep his land.
