DISNEY’S EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE – OVERVIEW AND KEY FEATURES

Emperor’s New Groove is The Walt Disney Company’s next Feature Animated film scheduled for release in December 2000.  Emperor’s New Groove is a fictional story that takes place in a fiction Inca kingdom.  It focuses on the life of an Emperor named Kuzco, who at a young age gains control of this rich and lavish Kingdom and is named its ruler.  Unfortunately for Kuzco he grows into a very selfish and spoiled 18-year-old who seems to have only one care in the entire world…himself.  

It so happens that Kuzco is the victim in our story, a victim of circumstances. The Emperor’s advisor, Yzma, upon being fired from her position dreams up a plan to kill Kuzco and take his place as ruler.  Unfortunately, the plan goes awry and Yzma’s muscle-bound assistant, Kronk accidentally transforms Kuzco’s into a llama instead.  In an attempt to make up for his error, Kronk disposes of Kuzco on a villager’s cart leaving the city and presumes him dead and gone.  Kuzco awakens a few days later in a neighboring village where a villager named Pacha discovers him.  Pacha realizes the identity of the llama and is willing to help Kuzco, but only if he promises not to destroy his village – which was the Emperor’s original plans for Pacha’s village.

It is here where the story takes off and the game begins.  As Kuzco, the player will embark on an epic adventure across various levels taken directly from the Feature Film.  The player will need to learn the finer points of being a llama, as well as how to deal with the wild animals that inhabit the landscape and Yzma and her desire to have  you dead.   Using a spit attack and magical potions of transformation, Kuzco will transform into various creatures that will aid him in his quest to return to his Emperor’s New Groove.
