"Don't tell me. We're about to go over a huge waterfall."
"Yep."
"Sharp rocks at the bottom?"
"Most likely."
"Bring it on"
Arrogant emperor Kuzco (Spade) has everything he could want: a man to sing about him, Theme Song Guy (Jones) and people to do everything he says. When he fires his "scary beyond all reason" advisor Yzma (Kitt), she tries to kill him...but with the "help" of her assistant Kronk (Warburton) she turns him into a llama instead. Kuzco, the llama, ends up seeking help from llama herder Pacha (Goodman) who he hates.
Pacha and Kuzco begin the journey back to the palace. Meanwhile, Yzma has declared herself the new emperor, until she learns that Kuzco is still alive...so she goes looking for him with Kronk, which involves getting directions from a squirrel.
Squeaky, uh, squeak, sqeaker, squeakin'.
In the middle are Pacha's pregnant wife Chicha (Malick), daughter Chaca (Kelso), and son Tipo (Linnetz).
The reason I chose this film:
There are so many memorable lines in this film! While you expect a cute kids movie, this film delivers clean adult humor and a complicated but incredibly funny story. David Spade's dry humor lends itself to the story and makes Kuzco even funnier. While the story is about Kuzco, Kronk and Yzma get more laughs. The dialogue between Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton (who delivers every time) is smart and funny and moves at a fast pace. Kronk is probably my favorite character. I want to become a Junior Chipmunk and be versed in all woodland creatures, lol. Also, this is my roommate's favorite Disney movie and in her top 5 favorite movies.
