Answer: Kuzco, the emperor
Kuzco narrated parts of the movie for the audience. The first few minutes of the movie started with a scene from the middle of the movie as Kuzco explained what led him to where he was. Kuzco was the Inca emperor who had a butler, a chef, and a theme song guy.

Answer: He switches from left to right
When they come to help Kronk decide whether or not to kill Kuzco, they never really help him at all. They just start arguing with each other and end up confusing him.

Answer: Exotic Bird Bingo
Exotic Bird Bingo is a great game. You should play it sometime. When Kronk and Yzma take a break in the jungle, and Yzma is attacked by bugs, Kronk is too engrossed with the game to notice her.

Answer: something green
Kuzco keeps staring at it the whole time she's talking. He says, "Whoa! How long has that been there?!"
From Quiz: The Emperor's New Groove
Answer: great personality
Yes, cruelty is Kuzco's province. This scene is well before he gains any sense of humility. It seems to me that "she/he has a great personality" is one of the general public's catchphrases meaning "she/he is probably ugly," but I've never noticed this to truly be the case. Another way of putting it is, ugly people are just as prone to meanness as good-looking people - as Kuzco would probably say. No doubt he'd also add, "Good thing I'm good-looking. Hate to be ugly AND mean."
From Quiz: No Touchy, Noooo Touchy, No Touch!
Answer: "Bring it on."
Kuzco's definitely got the look of a dead man walking when he mutters this phrase. Or is that "dead man floating"?
On a completely unrelated note, "Bring It On" is the name of a movie starring Eliza Dushku (Faith from the popular TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and Kirsten Dunst (of "Spiderman" fame).

From Quiz: Groovy 'The Emperor's New Groove'
Answer: llama
In The Emperor's New Groove, Yzma decides to turn Kuzco into a llama after her attempt to poison him goes wrong. Interestingly, llamas were of great significance in the Inca Empire, which is the civilization the movie loosely draws inspiration from. Llamas were used for their wool, meat, and also served as transportation for the Incas, as they were easier to handle than horses in the rough terrain. In the movie, after Kuzco is transformed, he starts his journey back to the palace on foot, which is a nod to the importance of llamas in Inca culture. Additionally, llamas were seen as sacred animals and were often used in rituals, further emphasizing their significance. Overall, the decision to transform Kuzco into a llama not only provided comedic relief for the movie, but also added cultural depth to the story.

Answer: John Goodman
John Goodman does the voice of the kind villager, Pacha.
From Quiz: Emperor's New Groove
Answer: Kuzco wanted to build Kuzcotopia.
Pacha was voiced by John Goodman. As leader of the village, Pacha was summoned to see Kuzco at the kingdom. Pacha was told that his village, including his house, would be destroyed so that Kuzco could build Kuzcotopia. Pacha couldn't believe Kuzco would do something like that since the village grew the crops that were eaten at the palace and trained the llamas that the palace used.

Answer: Inca Empire
The Theme Song Guy first gives a clue when singing the theme song. He says, referring to Kuzco, "An enigma and a mystery in Mesoamerican history, the quintessence of perfection that is he." A few more subtle clues appear in the movie. Kuzco was named after the Incan capital, Cuzco, and Pacha's wife, Chicha, is a ceremonial Incan drink.

There have been quite a few sidekicks in quite a few different movies over the years, but few have been as lovable or as developmentally thwarted as Kronk. Of course, it turned out that it wasn't even poison anyway. Exactly where does extract of llama come from, I wonder? I bet I don't wanna know.

From Quiz: Groovy 'The Emperor's New Groove'
Answer: a summer house with a swimming pool
In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco's selfish desires drive him to want to destroy Pacha's village in order to build a summer house complete with a swimming pool. This displays Kuzco's lack of empathy and disregard for the lives of others as he is willing to displace an entire community for his personal gain. Interestingly, this desire for a luxurious summer house aligns with Kuzco's overall theme of prioritizing his own desires over the needs of others. This aspect of Kuzco's characterization emphasizes the lessons he must learn in order to become a more empathetic and caring ruler. Additionally, this conflict between Kuzco and Pacha highlights the difference between their priorities and values, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other.

Answer: Llama
Kronk mixed up the cup that had Kuzco's death potion in it so he poured all three of them a drink out of the same cup. When it came time to drink, Kronk made sure that Yzma didn't drink the potion laced drink. When Kuzco drank the drink, he passed out and when he came back to consciousness he slowly turned into a llama. Kronk had chosen a bottle that had a messed up label so the label looked like a skull and crossbones when in reality it was a llama.

Answer: Chaca

If you are really into this movie, it can be a lot of fun to watch it again, except instead of looking where you normally do, look at the big picture. Notice the scenery. If two characters are talking, look at the one you don't normally look at, and you can find some things that you've never seen before. My favorite expression in the whole movie is Misty's expression when she and Pacha leave the palace and he rubs her head. You can only see it for a second, but it's hilarious.
