| − | |A self-centered emperor named Kuzco gets turned into a llama, and befriends a hard-working villager, where he learns how hard the villagers, work to support him and kingdom. Also has an anti-eminent domain lesson, with Kuzco realizes it would be wrong of him to steal the land from the villagers. Villain is also a feminist, with it being heavily implied that her methods of raising Kuzco is the primary reason why he turned out a spoiled brat. Is also a rare example of a comedy film churned out of Hollywood that actually does use witty humor and not low-hanging fruit-type jokes for its humor. Although the ending was slightly altered due to songwriter Sting, an environmentalist, taking offense at the implication that Kuzco built his summer retreat in the Jungle and cleared them away, it nonetheless retained the hints that Kuzco ultimately was a changed man from the experience. | + | |A self-centered emperor named Kuzco gets turned into a llama, and befriends a hard-working villager, where he learns how hard the villagers, work to support him and kingdom.

It also has a humorous condemnation of homosexuality, as when Kuzco is knocked unconscious from the rapids, Pacha attempted to perform CPR only for Kuzco to regain consciousness just as Pacha was about start CPR, causing both to recoil in disgust from the near-kiss, as well as Kuzco explicitly making clear such was disgusting.
