Synopsis
The plot revolved around Kuzco (voiced by David Spade), a self-centered and arrogant teenaged emperor of the Incan empire. One day, he summons Pacha (voiced by John Goodman), the headman of a nearby village, to inform him that he is building his enormous summer home, Kuzcotopia, on the site of Pacha’s house. Pacha attempts to protest, and is dismissed. He also callously fires his ancient, power-hungry advisor Yzma (voiced by Eartha Kitt) for attempting to run the kingdom while he is preoccupied, infuriating her. She, along with her easily-distracted assistant Kronk (voiced by Patrick Warburton) then attempt to poison Kuzco so that she can take full and permanent control of the empire, which eventually lead to the tranformation of the main protagonist into a llama.
The rest of the movie follows the adventures of Kuzco trying to transform back into his former self with the help of the kind and caring Pacha.
