Synopsis

Set in a mythical mountain kingdom, the film follows the misadventures of an arrogant, egocentric young Emperor named Kuzco, who is transformed into a llama by his power-hungry advisor – the devious diva Yzma. Stranded in a jungle, Kuzco’s only chance... See more to get back home and reclaim the high life rests with a good-hearted peasant named Pacha. Kuzco’s “perfect world” becomes a perfect mess as this most unlikely duo must deal with hair-raising dangers, wild comic predicaments and – most horrifying of all – each other as they race to return Kuzco to the throne before Yzma (aided by her muscle-bound manservant, Kronk) tracks them down and finishes him off. Ultimately, Kuzco’s budding friendship with Pacha teaches the royal pain to see his world in a different way.
