How to watch

The Emperor's New Groove is one of Disney's most quotable comedies, powered by fast-paced humor and the unforgettable villain Yzma and her henchman Kronk. It follows the arrogant Emperor Kuzco, who is transformed into a llama and must rely on the humble villager Pacha to reclaim his throne. The franchise later expanded with a sequel and a TV spin-off.

Which Order Should You Choose?

Start with the 2000 original, which is the essential and by far the funniest entry. Follow it with Kronk's New Groove if you want more of the fan-favorite henchman, then explore The Emperor's New School for episodic, kid-friendly adventures. Because the original stands on its own so well, it is the only must-watch, but the sequels and series are enjoyable extras for devoted fans.
