Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Anvilicious]]: Like most animated films today, the [[Power of Friendship]] is presented in full force. Unlike most animated films today, it manages to work in the movie's favor.
* [[Crossover Ship]]: Kuzco/[[The Road to El Dorado|Chel]].
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Kuzco-as-a-llama telling himself-as-a-[[Interactive Narrator|narrator]] to stuff the self pity, and gamely attempting to start a new life as an ordinary llama.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: ''The entire freaking movie'' is one for the [[Disney Animated Canon]].
* [[Evil Is Cool]]: Yzma and Kronk are the true stars of this movie, this Troper ''defies'' anyone to deny it.
* [[Fashion Victim Villain]]: Yzma, who has a mannequin-head for nightly "storing" of her enormous fake eyelashes.
* [[Fountain of Memes]]: This film is one of the most quotable Disney films of all time, with Kronk, Kuzco and Yzma sayingall the mosthaving memorable quoteslines.
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Yzma asks Kronk "Why do we even have that lever?" Well, really, what happens when Kuzco and Pacha try to sneak into the lab? Maybe ''that's'' why!
** Theoretically, yes. Except that Kuzco and Pacha just get right past the alligators with little problem, so there still seems to be little purpose to it.
** [[Ironic Echo|So this happens]]:
{{quote|'''Kuzco''': Ok, why does she even ''have'' that lever?}}
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: [[Patrick Warburton]] apparently likes [[The Venture Brothers|playing the bodyguard to a very skinny, inept mad scientist]].
* [[Member Berries]]: All the sequels suffered from focusing on call backs to the original movie rather than matching its comedy.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Kuzco is my favorite Disney Princess" on Tumblr.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Parodied when, at least according to Kronk's shoulder devil, Yzma crossed it when {{spoiler|[[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|she admitted to never liking Kronk's spinach puffs.]]}}
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
* [[Sequelitis]]: The direct-to-DVD ''Kronk's New Groove'' was pretty dire, save perhaps one or two individual moments. The follow-up TV series ''[[The Emperor's New School|The Emperors New School]]'' regained some lost ground but had a tendency to take jokes from the original movie and re-re-re-use them until they lay in tatters.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The [[Teacher's Pet (TV series)|Teacher's Pet movie]], made by Disney a few years later, has a [[Better Than a Bare Bulb|very similar sense of humor.]]
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: An intentional example. Yzma is drawn to look like a terrifying version of Eartha Kitt. Her realistic facial features can make people cringe.
* [[Vindicated by History]]: After the release of ''[[Shrek]]'', many people looked back to this film for having a more natural sense of humor.
