This unusual Disney movie went through a lot of trouble and changes before becoming what it is now. Originally called "Kingdom of the sun", the story was supposed to be a "Prince and the Pauper" remake, but plans changed and the movie became a comedy.
The story is set in an imaginary South American kingdom where the bratty and selfish teenager Kuzco is the emperor. He wants to build Kuzcotopia, a great mansion for himself on the hill where the peasant Pacha has lived with his family for years. Kuzco's advisor Yzma is jealous of him and wants to take over the kingdom. She and her henchman Kronk plan to kill him, but Kronk only manages to turn Kuzco into a llama. It's up to Pacha to help the snotty emperor back to his throne and to being human again, as long as Kuzco promises to spare his village.
The movie has a completely original story and characters and it's one of Disney's funniest. There are no songs, no cute sidekicks (if you don't include Bucky the squirrel), no love story - just a buddy tale and lots of laughs.

Favorite scenes:
1. Nearly the entire restaurant scene, especially when Kronk becomes the cook and Yzma and Kuzco keep missing each other when they're really close to each other. XD
2. When Pacha and Kuzco are sitting at the pond and neither of them know what to say.
3. Nearly everything towards the end, starting from when Kuzco and Pacha make it to Yzma's lab, especially when Kronk's devil and angel appear again and Yzma thinks he's talking to himself.

When Pacha asks Kuzco if he's tired of being a llama, and Kuzco wails, "Yyyyeeeess!" The part leading up to it is not only cute, but of course is a turning point for Kuzco, and I just love the way Kuzco breaks down and wails his misery.~ Kat
Favorite quotes:
Yzma: "Alright, I've had enough of this! Tell us where the talking llama is and we'll burn your house to the ground!"
Kronk: "Uh, don't you mean 'or'?"
Yzma: "Grr! Tell us where the talking llama is OR we'll burn your house to the ground!"Pacha: "Uh-oh."
Kuzco: "Let me guess. We're about to go over a huge waterfall."
Pacha: "Yep."
Kuzco: "Sharp rocks at the bottom?"
Pacha: "Most likely."
Kuzco: "....Bring it on."Kronk's Shoulder Devil: " 'Ey, you're not backing down now, are ya, big guy?" *appears*
Kronk: "Uhh, where's the other guy?"
Kronk's Shoulder Angel: *appears, sitting in a tiny barber salon chair* "Sorry I'm late! So, what'd I miss?"Palace Guard: "For the last time, we did not order a giant trampoline!!"
Kronk's Shoulder Devil: "Listen up, big guy, I got three good reasons why you should just walk away. Number one: look at that guy! He's got that sissy, stringy music thing."
Kronk's Shoulder Angel: "We've been through this. It's a harp, and you know it."
Devil: "Oh, right. That's a harp - and that's a dress."
Angel: "Robe!"
Devil: "Reason number two: look what I can do." *stands on his hands*
Kronk: "What? What does that have to do with anyth--"
Angel: "No, no...he's got a point."Yzma: "Looking for this?"
Kuzco: "No, it can't be! How did you get back here before us?"
Yzma: "Uh--" *pauses* "How did we, Kronk?"
Kronk: "Well, you got me. By all accounts, it doesn't make sense."Kuzco: "Okay, I admit it, maybe I wasn't as nice as I should've been. But Yzma, do you really want to kill me?"
Yzma: "Just think of it as: you're being let go, that your life's going in a different direction, that your body's part of a permanent outplacement..."
Kronk: "Hey, that's kinda like what he said to you when you got fired!"
Yzma: "I know. It's called a cruel irony, like my dependence on you."~ JessKat
"Boom, Baby!"~ Anon
Something different:
Trivia:
A llama theme is carried out through the entire movie, in several ways. An obvious example is the llama carved on the door of Pacha's home, but there are others. When Uzma dumps her poisoned drink into the cactus, it turns into a llama-shaped cactus. In the diner, the salt and pepper shakers are llamas (a set I'd love to have!). And when Chicha hits Kuzco with a frying pan, llama-shaped "stars" float around Kuzco's head.
