Trivia:

The original ending was of Kuzco building his huge summer home on the hill next to Pacha. 'Sting' noted that it looked like Kuzco destroyed some of the landscape so instead of the mansion Kuzco ends up with a hut.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: While falling down the stairs after stepping on a cat's tail, you can hear Kronk say: "Back, Elbow, Shoulders", However, he's actually falling in the opposite order: shoulders, elbow, back.

Quotes:

Tipo: [waking from a dream] Dad, look out!
ChiCha: Tipo, what is it?
Tipo: I had a dream that Dad was tied to a log and was careening out of control down a raging river of death!
ChiCha: It's all right, it's all right. It was just a dream.
Tipo: It was awful!
ChiCha: Calm down, Tipo. Your dad's fine. He just went back to the emperor.
Tipo: Oh, just like you told him to, because you're always right.
ChiCha: That's right.
Chaca: Well, in my dream, Dad had to kiss a llama.
Tipo: Yeah, like that would ever happen.

I absolutely love this movie!

How great is this? A movie about a talking lama. I absolutely love this movie, from beginning to end. I don't know how many times I have watched this movie, but I am guessing in the over 10 area. This is the only movie that I find funnier dubbed in Norwegian than in the original language. It is absolutely hilarious, I don't care what age you are. Although I think adults understands more of the jokes in the movie, but that doesn't mean that kids won't find it funny. The movie is a story of betrayal, friendship, love and lots and lots of humour. It doesn't seem like I can ever get tired of this movie. Why? Because it is absolutely fantastic! I am 24 years old, so there aren't any age boundaries here. I rate this movie 10/10
