What A Cartoon Movie! - The Emperor's New Groove (Patreon)

With Dreamworks as new competition and the pressure of a big budget on top of them, Disney was in a weird place as they began to work on the film that eventually became 2000's The Emperor's New Groove. Learn about the very complicated process that started as a Sting musical called "Kingdom of the Sun," eventually turning into a modern buddy picture animated like a Chuck Jones short. It's a wild history and a funny movie we're discussing this month in our final extra-long podcast of 2023, so grab your llama and your shoulder angel for our podcast on The Emperor's New Groove!
