Get back in the groove with Disney's hilarious all-new movie. After his wild adventures with Pacha and Emperor Kuzco, lovable lug Kronk, Yzma's former henchman, has happily started a new life as the head chef of his very own diner. An all-new, wacky adventure begins, however, when a llama-gram arrives telling him that his father is due for a visit.
Before you can say "squeaker, squeak," Kronk is cooking up trouble with the sly enchantress, Yzma, trying to make himself look like a success in time for Papi's arrival. After a bunch of big blunders and a massive cheese explosion in the restaurant, Kronk finds himself covered in a heap of trouble. It is only with thelp of friends both old and new that Kronk learns to be true to his groove.
My Comments:
Despite being a straight-to-DVD sequel, I really had high hopes for this one. Not only does it feature the original voice cast, but it focuses on the character "Kronk," the show-stealer of the first film.
However, the magic of The Emporer's New Groove was somehow lost from original to sequel. It's not a bad movie, but it's not a good movie, either. I suppose if you're really in the mood to watch an animated flick and have already exhausted the other possibilities, you might give this one a try.
