The Emperor's New Groove/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

* [[Motive Decay]]: Extremely condensed and mocked in the "Escape from Yzma's lab" sequence where Kuzco {{spoiler|tries on a large number of unlabeled potions in rapid succession, turning into stuff way unsuited for the escape. Eventually, he gets another llama potion, going back to the form he'd been in for most of the movie, and begins laughing happily like he'd just achieved his goal (turning back into a human).}} "Yay! I'm a llama again! ...wait."

* [[Needs More Love]]

* [[The Problem ~~With~~ Licensed Games]]: Actually averted somewhat. The Playstation game was just as humorous and satirical as the movie is. Hanging lampshades on video game cliches long before ''The Simpsons Game'' did. The game does alter certain plot points from the movie though. An example is in the game Kuzco knows Yzma is trying to kill him right from the start, while in the movie he did not learn that until after the diner scene. Should also note that Yzma's crocodiles are, shall we say, [[Nightmare Fuel|more competent guards]] than they were in the movie.

** There was a PC game as well. It was also a good game and funny, but rather [[Nintendo Hard]].

* [[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 ~~(Animation)~~|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 [[~~Teachers~~ Pet (~~Animation~~)|Teacher's Pet movie]], made by Disney a few years later, has a [[Better Than a Bare Bulb|very similar sense of humor.]]
