An Incan emperor wants to build his summer home on a hilltop occupied by a village. A peasant living there finds out about this, but the emperor's advisors turn him into a llama in an attempted murder by poison. The llama emperor ends up on the hill with the peasant and tries to return to the city.
This is far outside the year range of "good Disney movies", but I really like it. The plot seems designed to hold the interest of children as well as the parents who bring them to the theater. There were a small number of characters, but even some of the minor ones were instantly recognizable and make the viewer care what happens to them. Pacha's unnamed children are a good example. I like that the John Goodman character looks like John Goodman. Some of my favorite humor scenes were Kronk carrying Kuzco out of the palace, the squirrel near the jaguars and what happened with Yzma and Kronk at Pacha's house. I would really rather watch this again right now than try to think of something more to type about it. I rate it good and you should probably watch it.
