The Emperor's New Groove

In honor of Chicken Little, Mark Dindal's newest feature, I thought I'd write a quickie about his previous, and better film, The Emperor's New Groove. This upbeat story about a selfish young ruler who learns the values of friendship and loyalty is one of the best Disney has ever produced. It is so often ridiculous that eventually you stop hoping for it to make logical sense and just follow along happy to see such contrived, but hysterical scenes play out. David Spade and John Goodman are perfect for their roles, as is the ancient vileness Yzma, voiced by Ertha Kitt. The Movie clips along at a steady pace and doesn't drag on to the point that you grow tired of the characters. Repeat value is tremendous, indeed you could watch it Multiple times in one day, every time enjoying it more than the last. This is as I said before one of Disney's greatest movies, and one of the most fun movies ever made. I recommend it with no hesitations if you haven't seen it, do.
