Disneys Kuzcos Königsklasse

At first, I wasn't sure how good this show was going to be. I mean, the previews made it look pretty lame. But to my surprise, when I watched the first episode, I found myself laughing several times. JP Manoux does a good job filling in as the voice of Kuzco for David Spade in my opinion. Pacha's voice needs help, but it's still passable. The new character, Malina, fits in without a flaw. And of course, Yzma and Kronk are back to try to make sure Kuzco fails, and they provide tons of laughs throughout each episode. They do re-use some of the jokes and lines from the movie in the first episode, but they don't much in the other episodes. I recommend that everyone at least check out one episode. I don't think you will be sorry. I'm not.

While I understood, that this show is too weird to please everybody, I don't get where all these bad reviews come from, and I'm most surprised over the bad reviews, that it has gotten from fans of the movies. I liked it and got hooked on it since the first episode I watched. It's a little messed up though, that Kuzco was put into school. And it seems to be High School rather than College. But I guess he's only eighteen, right, so it's not like he's too old to get educated? And haven't the royals always had to get the best education avaible to them? So the "Kuzco has to graduate, or he won't become emperor" thing doesn't sound too weird for me. And I guess his education was neglected before, so that's why he has to be educated now.

I'd give this a 7.5/10. Okay. The first few episodes (like 1-3) do re-use jokes, and are probably the worst out of the series, however, I'd say after the 3rd episodes it got pretty good. The jokes from season 1-2 are actually pretty smart! Sure, there's a few hit and misses but overall it's actually really funny.

One problem I do have sometimes the jokes can be TOO on the nose, but it doesn't happen all the time.

The characters stay pretty consistent to their personalities (though with Kuzco, he does miss that dry delivery and sarcasm, but he still has it a little, here and there.) I find Yzma and Kronks dynamic pretty funny. Definitely one of the best parts off the series, it's just so good. They both stay pretty consistent to their characters.

I like Malina, I find her generally likeable. She downsized Kuzco pretty well, making him a more likeable character facing consequences. Also playing as a foil to him as a character, which I like. (She COULD have been based off of Mata, actually,)

The animation is not as good as the movie, however, it still has its charm. It works for the humour they go with. They do sprinkle hints of fluid smooth animation throughout episodes! The backgrounds get much better in late season 1 to season 2.

Give it a watch!

Original Movie lovers can actually love this show, if they just stop complaining all the time.

The Emperor's New School brings up some old jokes from the movie, like pulling the lever to Yzma's lab and Kuzco pausing the episode. But since it's a kids show, it's just classic and is in their right places. Even though the style is much more simple, the animation and characters keeps their personalities very well and it surprised me, actually. Eartha Kitt makes excellent voice acting for Yzma and J.P Manoux does a wonderful job for Kuzco's voice instead of David Spade, who played Kuzco in the movie. Great plots, hilarious moments and Kuzco's amazing looks makes this show worth watching. (Just stop complaining about everything!)

This is a fine and great Disney animation series for all viewers to watch. I am not sure that the storyline of this Disney animation series really fits in continuation to the films. The storyline throughout this entire Disney animation series was alright and strong enough to watch. The cast selection throughout this entire Disney animation series could have been a whole lot better and stronger. They did not exactly fully commit nor connect to the storyline nor to their respective characters. The chemistry that was displayed throughout this entire Disney animation series between the cast members could have been a whole lot better and stronger.
