The Emperor's New Groove
"It's All About ... ME!"
Story: Somewhere in an Inca-Empire, the young Kuzco lives and he is Way Cool! At least that's what he thinks of himself. He thinks the world turns around him, the sun turns around him and his people are there to serve him. While you lives in an enormous palace, he wants to build a summerpalace on a hill down the jungle. It happens that Pasha, a local farmer has his house overthere. He is summoned to the palace, where he is been told to move. While Pasha is about to leave the town with the bad news, Kuzco fires his advisor Yzma, a very old witch who think she is still beautiful. She tries to run the show, when Kuzco isn't looking and he fires her. She invites him to diner and tries to kill him. But her help, Kronk, messes up and Kuzco is changed into a lama. Kronk tries to get rid off Kuzco, but he looses him. Kuzco falls on to the car that Pasha has. Pasha brings Kuzco back to his home and there he discover the emperor, who has become a lama. He tries to help Kuzco, but he refuses his help and tries to go back to the palace himself. Ofcourse he gets into trouble right away in the jungle and Pasha rescues him. After Pasha makes the emperor promiss him not to build the summerpalace, he takes him en route to the palace. Yzma learns from kronk that Kuzco isn't dead and they go to the jungle to find him and kill him. Pasha and Kuzco end up in the same restaurant where Yzma and Kronk are as well. Pasha learns that Yzma and Kronk try to kill Kuzco, but the emperor won't listen and Pasha leaves the stubborn lama. Kronk realises that Pasha is the farmer that took Kuzco out o town and they are going to pay him a visit. Kuzco overhears their plans and goes back to Pasha. While Pasha's wife keeps Yzma and Kronk busy, the emperor and the peasant head back to the palace. Their they meet up and a fight begins for the bottle with the antidote to change the emperor back. In the end Yzma is turned into a cat and Kuzco into a turtle, a whale, an eagle (a small one) and eventually into his old body.
Kuzco has finally learned his lesson that the world doesn't exsist for him and he build his summerpalace on the hill next to Pasha's so they can spend the summer together.
