Leaving Dinosaur (Plus Lemurs) in the past where it belongs, film journalist Ben Travis and animation academic Sam Summers head further into the Disney wilderness on a trip to Peru, with 2000’s The Emperor’s New Groove. It’s not only a film with an important role in Disniversity history (to be explained), but marked a new groove for the studio itself – plunging Disney further into irreverence, absurdity, and cartoon antics. Expect discussions of the film’s tumultuous making-of, the nightmarish experience Sting had on music duties, the film’s major Looney Tunes influence, and the legendary performances from Eartha Kite and Patrick Warburton. Plus, Ben recalls a Years 8 school memory and campaigns for Kronk to join the next season of The Bear, and Sam gets his Yzma on. We hope this one gets a big thumbs-up from Papi.

Next up: Shrek live show (then, Atlantis: The Lost Empire)

137 – The Emperor's New Groove

When I first saw him, I thought Dirk was really funny! I immediately knew this was a fun character!

I heard that Pine's voice claim was Kronk, although I put my own spin on it. 

Keep an eye out for tomorrow. I'll be voicing a dynamic duo, who just got done their network takeover, and a rather flamboyant fellow who has a lot of substance to bring to the table! See ya till then!
