The Emperor's New School

[Cobain59]

This serie sucks like the second film. Why destruct a masterpiece with there sh...?

Ha. Combining the threads really makes it look like I repeated myself. Which I suppose I did, but at months apart.

Am I the only one that is annoyed at this show?

Like many other Disney fans I enjoyed "The Emperor's New Groove" and I thought "Kronk's New Groove" was really good. But this TV show is very annoying and ruins the quirky Emperor's legacy.

First, Kuzco's "Its all about me!" personality gets old and grating really quick. In was funny in the movie because it was shown in small doses and in the end you took sympathy because he was very misguided. In the series he's one big a-hole that's very hard to care about. It makes his friendship with Pacha very unlikely. Plus HE...DOESN'T...STOP! Not even in the movie he was so in love with himself.

Second, the great jokes from the movie become tired in the series. They took the great and inspired jokes from the movie and stretched them so far throughout the series that they no longer have the spark and wit that made the movie so great. For example, the "Kuzco stopping the film" gag gets used A LOT in the series to the point where it gets old. In the movie that happened like 2 times and that's why it was funny. Another example, remember the scene in the movie in which Yzma plans with Krunk her evil plan to destroy Kuzco (the one with the flea and the box)? Well in the series that joke gets used a lot as well and it too loses its charm. I think even the trampoline joke gets used on occasion!

Worst of all, the new jokes fall flat. So bad that they have to rely on the movie's jokes to deliver humor. Some are pretty good (like the Kuzco's sketches scenes) but the majority of them are just blah.

So once again, am I the only one that feels this way about the show?

agreed,they're recycle the same jokes from the film and make new dumb jokes.
for me,Izma is the only reason to see this show (yes,they also ruind Kronk).

It took me a while to get used to the new voice actors for certain characters, and before the show aired, the promos made the animation look way worse than it is, but having watched it sporatically, I really do like it. I usually do like the shows based on the animated features though. I'm surprised that Yzma is everyone's favorite aspect though. I like her, but she's the one who seems to repeat the film the most to me. As for Malena, I think she works well and it makes sense to me that Kuzco would be into her, as she's one girl who is desirable yet not willing to do whatever he says.

Well,they can't keep using the same jokes. It would get old...fast.
