“The Emperor’s New Groove” — A Neglected Gem from Disney

I am really pleased that one of my favorite Disney animated movies, “The Emperor’s New Groove,” will be out on Blu-Ray next week.  It is a neglected gem, colorful and very funny, with wonderfully executed sight gags and action and a great story, with an Oscar-nominated song from Sting.  It’s about an arrogant and selfish young emperor (David Spade) who is turned into a llama by the evil Yzma (voiced by the magnificent growl of Eartha Kitt).

Here is a glimpse and a song from Tom Jones.
