  • Executive Meddling: The film began life as a much more standard Disney flick, Kingdom of the Sun. It managed to recover, proving that this trope isn't always a bad thing. Though we did lose a rockin' Villain Song in the process so you got your good and your bad.
    • On his DVD commentary, director Mark Dindal grumbles about a minor example, claiming an executive at Disney forced him to include a particular The Wizard of Oz Shout-Out.
    • Also, Composer Meddling: Sting is an environmentalist, and complained about Kuzco building a mansion on the hills on the original ending, causing it to be replaced by a hut.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: Patrick Warburton, Eartha Kitt, John Goodman, David Spade and Sting.
  • The Other Darrin: Mark Dindal did the voice of Kitty Yzma instead of Eartha Kitt.
  • What Could Have Been: In the original Kingdom of the Sun, Pacha would've sounded like Lightning McQueen; ANOTHER Pixar protagonist!!
    • That's because both original!Pacha and Lightning are voiced by Owen Wilson.
    • Yzma would still have been the villain, but she would have been much "eviler" than the one everyone knows. Originally, she would have been a necromancer attempting to summon Supei, the Incan god of darkness, to block out the sun and plunge the world into eternal night.
    • Marc Shaiman originally scored the film but had his work rejected after a test screening and was replaced by John Debney. Shaiman's work can be heard in The Sweatbox (the making-of documentary on the film and its Troubled Production). He describes his take as having too much "Mickey-Mousing".
