The Emperor's New Groove (2000)

Cast: David Spade, John Goodman, Eartha Kitt, Patrick Warburton
For complete cast info, see IMDb's The Emperor's New Groove page.

Just another example in what it seems will be a long list of Disney animated movies that fall short of old Disney expectations. At least I was smart enough to see it for free from Disney, rather than seeing it in a movie theatre or renting it. The Emperor's New Groove has a wonderful cast! I love David Spade, John Goodman, Patrick Warburton, etc. But, even their improv (which I'm sure they did to some extent) couldn't save this movie.

It's amusing, but not as funny as many past Disney movies. I'm sure the kids will still love it, but don't expect to be laughing along with them as much as you did for Disney animated greats (like Aladdin).

As long as you expect this movie to only meet the standards of new Disney movies and not to have the best animation or story, you should be able to enjoy The Emperor's New Groove.

Grade: C+
