Very cute for a Disney sequel. I love Kronk and I was not disappointed by his portrayal in this movie- he's still still charming and funny & had me laughing pretty much the entire movie. You really need to watch this movie w/out any preconceived ideas of sequels or high expectations. Just prepare for mild amusement and you will be pleasantly surprised. The plot line did jump around a bit, but everything was tied together in the end. I think a double conflict (Yzema and Birdwell)adds more "oomph" (for lack of a better word) and departs from your typical, run-of-the-mill storyline. I love the subtle references to other movies (i.e. Gollum & "Lord of the Rings"). I also think that the message/objective that "Kronk's New Groove" projects- to be honest with yourself and others about your true self, and to worry less about what others may think about you- is highly meaningful to today's youth (adults too!) Great job, Disney: No "nostril flare of total rejection" from me! :)

because i work at a very popular movie rental chain, i was able to see this movie before it comes out on DVD dec. 13th. i tried going into this movie with no expectations, and i must say that i was pleasantly surprised. it'll never live up to the brilliance of the emperor's new groove, but it's still pretty good for a Disney direct-to-DVD release. it referred back to the first movie a lot, and it rehashed some of the old jokes (ala austin powers movies), but it had enough fresh gags to keep me entertained. kronk was good as a main character, and we get into his character a lot, but the character development did get in the way of the humor of kronk from time to time. when it comes down to it, kronk just wasn't as funny as he was in the first movie, but he's still a great character. check it out. you may enjoy it.

First of all, let me just say that Kronk's New Groove is very, very funny with a good amount of laugh out loud moments. Surely that is all that matters then, eh? Well, no. Compared to the first film, the story is pretty tepid.

All of the previous characters return. Of course there is Kronk himself, along with Kuzco, Pacha and his family, the babbling squirrel and Yzma (who has now turned mostly back into a 'human' but still features a cat's tail and feline abilities. The movie tries to incorporate all of them into the story but nothing really sticks. It all just seems like an excuse for mayhem.

As before, it is told in flashback with Kronk explaining how he ended up in such sorry circumstances. His dad is coming to visit him and he's afraid of the inevitable disapproval he'll get as all he's managed to do with his life is be a Junior Chipmunk Troup Leader and run a restaurant kitchen. His dad thinks that cooking and talking to animals isn't a 'real job' and won't give Kronk the big thumbs up until he's got his own house on a hill with loads of money.

From this thin idea comes loads of deception, scheming and hijinks. And that's basically the movie. It IS packed full of hilarious moments and wonderful Looney Tunes-inspired humor like the first, but it just lacks that overall high-quality. Still, it's loads of fun and any fan of The Emperor's New Groove must give it a rent.

I loved The Emperor's New Groove. Hilarious and highly original with great animation, music and voice work it was by quite some considerable distance one of the best Disney movies after the Renaissance era. Considering that Kronk's New Groove was a direct to video sequel that did put doubts in my mind, but I saw it anyway as while there are some bad ones(101 Dalmatians II, Cinderella II, Jungle Book II, Little Mermaid II) there are also some good actually(King of Thieves, Bambi II, Enchanted Christmas and Simba's Pride). Kronk's New Groove is among neither the bad or good ones, ranking it if I had to I'd put it around the middle. The biggest letdown to Kronk's New Groove was the story, it was very thin and felt often like a few episodes strung together. Some of it also did feel rushed pace-wise, and there are a few scenes around where they're at the squirrel camp where the humour got a little juvenile. I did wish as well that Kuzco and Yzma were in the movie more, but it was a pleasure to see them, and they do have some good moments. The animation is great though with the colour and fluidity more than satisfying, especially for a Disney direct to video sequel, and the music, especially Yzma's song, is catchy. Apart from the odd juvenile moment, the film is often hilarious, and there are some nice moments like Kuzco's crying at the cheesy footage, Kronk's music video, Yzma's song and the idea of Kronk and his father. Kronk does work better as a support character, but at the same he is likable and funny enough to be a lead as well so having him as one didn't hurt the film for me. The voice talent is top-notch, unsurprising as all the voice-actors here are very talented. All in all, entertaining but not great. 6/10 Bethany Cox

...but of course I was wrong.

Now, I never expected to like the first movie. I'm not sure what's up with Disney's marketing group, but it seems that every trailer they make for an animated film ends up turning me off as too childish, or silly, or stupid, and yet the movies themselves are usually anything but. And no movie looked worse to me in the trailers than The Emperor's New Groove, which is why I was quite surprised to actually find myself quite enjoying that film when I finally broke down and saw it. I entered with zero expectations and came out pleasantly entertained.

Despite Disney's track record with direct-to-video sequels, I had nonetheless hoped for a better experience with Kronk here... but in the end I was nothing but disappointed (and unfortunately not exactly surprised that I felt that way). There's almost no humor targeted towards adults. The original songs are uninspired and sickly cute. The animation, while not bad, still doesn't come close to Emperor (which was no Lion King to start with).

The main plot, as such, is astoundingly "minor" and is comprised mainly of a sequence of mini-plot flashbacks - in fact the while thing felt more like a sequence of pilot episodes for a Saturday morning cartoon series than a well conceived single entity.

David Spade gets about four lines throughout the entire movie and there isn't exactly a lot of John Goodman either, so overall we're just left with far too much of Patrick Warburton's Kronk - who was entertaining as a secondary character in the first movie but is completely inappropriate as the main lead here.

Although kids might find it somewhat fun, the only thing Kronk's New Groove managed to do for me is make me want to go back and watch the far superior original.

Being a huge fan of the original movie, The Emperor's New Groove, I was thrilled to find that a sequel had been made. I bought the movie thinking that, at its worst, it would have some familiar characters and a couple of laugh-out-loud moments. However, I was delighted to find that it was as good as it could be without being the original classic.

For those who weren't fans of the first movie, this may be such a good choice as there are many 'in jokes' and nods to the original. Also the plot is quite complicated for a cartoon, effectively covering three stories in the one film.

However, the music is fantastic, opening with a very original and funky tune 'You Should Be True To Your Groove' and continuing with a fabulous jazz piece sung by the talented Eartha Kitt and a classic track by Earth Wind and Fire.

This is a movie that works on different levels, so that parents will not be bored when watching it with their children. There are a couple of cringe-worthy moments, perhaps aiming for a young teen market but these can be easily overlooked.

Overall a really great movie with some brilliant and original moments.

This coming from an adult who happened to come across the first one expecting a movie aimed towards children and was surprised at the adult humor that was in Emperors New Groove. The character i liked most of all was Kronk, so i was thrilled when i heard of the sequel (sp) featuring non other than "Kronk".

I just watched Kronk's New groove, it took me two days because i had to shut it off, i was so bored halfway through it. I finally watched the rest of it the next day and unfortunately the 2nd half was every bit as lame as the first.

Being a Disney film, i was expecting to have some musical scenes, however this one was filled with them and they were not amusing. The great thing i found about Emperors New Groove was that it could be appreciated by a wide audience, from toddlers to adults. Kronks New Groove in all honesty did nothing for me nor my girlfriend and we both loved the first. It is really aimed towards young children, the comedy is pretty childish, the musical scenes are not very well done and the plot itself is extremely corny.

Save yourself some money and rent this movie if possible because its definitely not worthy of a second viewing. I was extremely disappointed and shocked at how thrown together this film was. They actually managed to make a character(Kronk)not funny in this film, that is amazing in itself.

Obviously every ones opinion differs but i am very easily amused, i usually enjoy sequels (sp) even when others discredit them, mostly because i loved the first so much i needed more of the characters and no matter how bad the plot was i would enjoy the film. I cannot say the same for this one, i never would have thought i would be turning it off half way through due to pure boredom.

Buy at Own Risk.

"The Emperor's new groove" is a fantastic comedy that has been entertaining me since its debut in cinemas. Now there's another comedy, "Konk's new groove", who is as fun as the original. Rarely Disney keeps the original's spirit alive in a sequel (sequel?this seems more a spin-off), but they've done a great job for this one. Kronk is lovable and as realistic as ever,and the gags are original and very funny!The animation is not fantastic,and some characters,especially Yzma (one of my favourite Disney characters!)and Pacha's wife are less expressive than in the original.Anyway,the characters' look is faithful to the original.The songs are pretty and entertaining as well,especially the Yzma's one, in a cabaret-style. If you like the first film as a comedy,you won't miss this excellent sequel. Great work!

7.7/10

Yeah remember when I was talking about Krank in "The emperor's new groove" yeah that's the movie I was waiting for...

When I was a kid I watched it way too many times and totally forgot about it...I thought this movie was a series of mini episodes like those ones on Disney Channel... turns out this was a MOVIE!

Damn what a movie,the plot was simple and pretty much the same as the previous film but still was very good maybe a better one.

The soundtrack was good nothing way too cool just good had fun listening to it and vibed a lot...i mean it's a kid's movie have some fun and chill while watching it.

The characters were hilarious and funny af i literally loved everybody in this movie and had a fun time listening to Kronks flashbacks.

The voice acting even though it was in Greek it was pretty much amazing but i enjoyed and liked "Giannis Stefanopoulos" and the rest of the voice actors for giving this movie a funny to a guy like me.

To close this review,"Kronks new groove" is a movie you can see and enjoy without even watching the first film, iconic every way possible and nostalgic for the fans of it if you are you to this kind watxh this movie it's worth watching it the same thing applies for the first one.

The Emperor's New Groove was a great twist for Disney. It wasn't a musical! It had clean, fresh jokes and no political twists. It was just a darn funny movie.

Kronk's New Groove, on the other hand, is tired and weak. My 3-year-old still loves Emperor's New Groove, but fell asleep during Kronk's. There really isn't any really conflict (that, in the first movie, lead to all of the wacky adventures). Because of the lack of conflict, it almost seems like the animators threw out the writers and just made the storyline up as they went along.

I kept waiting for something to happen that would make the movie fun . . . and still am.

Not really as hilarious as the first movie, but some decent amount of laughs I had with this one. Kronk's New Groove is just one of the more tolerable Disney sequels. On one hand, it would have a couple of segments that while connect to the movie, are generic and scenario elements that get predictable for each one. But on the other hand, it can be a decent followup to its predecessor with nice animation, good humor that's traditional to before, the heart that would affect Kronk's personality. Maybe this may be an okay choice for those that enjoyed The Emperor's New Grove. But at least set your expectations a little low because considering this is a a Disney sequel, it's not as clever as before. This is nowhere near as good as the first film, I will tell you this. But as a straight-to-video Disney sequel, it could've been a lot worse. So I'll give that this one has a fair amount of groove.

Another direct to video movie from Disney, that is essentially perfect for the kids. The problem with Kronk's New Groove I find is that everything that made the first movie a fun great ride is replaced with a more sad and sombre film. In this movie, Kronk learns a great deal of lessons at many others' expenses. It takes away much time that could be spent at creating a more enjoyable film.

Kronk's New Groove deals with two stories: Yzma returns for payback and one Ms. Birdwell hopes to defeat Kronk's camp counseling championship. This all leads up to Kronk confronting his father and his disapproval over his son's direction in life.

From Lord of the Rings to Michael Jackson's Thriller, Kronk's New Groove recycles every bit of time that it allows to entertain its viewers. If you loved the original, or are looking forward to the upcoming TV series about Kuzco, I recommend Kronk to his loyal fans.

This is the worst waste of time I've ever experienced. not even close to the first one. The story line difficult to follow - plot was weak - at best. The whole thing looked like three stories trying some way to tie them together and make a movie. It had a few good lines here and there - and the attempt at the message was admirable, but they went from Houston through New York to get to Dallas. It was really hard to tell over what period of time the present time took up. The movie was just over an hour and it felt like we had sat there watching the movie all afternoon. Mayve points for being honest - but a son should not have to do all that Kronk felt he had to do. Do your self a favor - Watch Kuzco again.

First off I really dig this movie. My friends come over to my dorm and we watch it and yeah..it's awesome.The only problem I really had with the movie was Yzma. I love the character but the whole cat angle didn't really come off. I can see what they were trying to do, but they should have either dropped the idea or kept it up throughout the movie. OOOH and what was with that song?? "What will you serve it on, Kronk? Plastic tupper? You don't even own a fixer upper.." Anyway er did anyone else think Yzma's accent changed in this movie? She almost sounds Russian..where I kind of thought she was British in the first movie. But seriously don't be too hard on this movie. I was expecting far less...even though I actually liked Cinderella 2 and Toy Story 2 a lot as well.

I don't know why but I love this and the first. I'm animation fan my whole life from film to detailed figures. I love this animation style. Corny movies but just cool to me. Check it out find your own groove.

When i heard they were making this i was quited happy considering the first film was pretty good, if a little on the short side.

But then i remembered some of the Disney sequel disasters i have previously watched (im looking at you Little mermaid 2).

Anyway i watched it and unfortunately i was very disappointed. The best thing about it is the animation is superb. It really has that special polish that the "proper" Disney films have.

Apart from that.. the rest is disappointing. The storyline is seriously all over the place. One moment its about something, then completely changes to another storyline and then changes to another completely different storyline. It reminded me of how the Family Guy movie was like 3 separate episodes, turned into a film.

I laughed perhaps once at the most. Kronk was very funny in the original film but in this he just isn't funny at all.

Stay away from this film, unless someone lends it to you for free.

4/10

A while back I rewatched this movie with a friend more or less as a joke. But wile watching, I realized...It's not that bad.

In fact, It's pretty good. Granted, it's not a great film but considering it's a straight-to-video sequel that no one asked for, they actually seemed to make it work.

The movie takes a look at the life of the original film's comic relief character Kronk. A character who, originally, was nothing more than a goofy ripped guy who could cook and talk to squirrels. But in this film, they actually gave Kronk the depth he deserved. It's also surprisingly funny.

the work itself is probably a 5 or a 6.

But then I took into consideration the following:

It seems as though Disney actually hired competent writers and animators to make a cheap sequel this time around. It feels like the writers truly cared about the first film and the work they were doing. They stayed within the thematic and tonal confines of the first film while also keeping consistent with the same brand of humor.

This film was a labor of love. And though it's far from perfect, they managed to make a decent film in a low budget studio that is known only for continually producing DVDs of crappy sequels that do nothing except tarnish the rep of the films they're spun from.

So I give it 10 stars for being the best Straight-to-video sequel out there.

Obviously not as good as its predecessor, but I had a fun time with 'Kronk's New Groove'.

Like with 'The Emperor's New Groove', all the goodness comes with the humour which is again amusing. David Spade (Kuzco), who only appears for short cameos here, is definitely missed but Patrick Warburton (Kronk) does a respectable job at leading this sequel.

The premise isn't as memorable as the 2000 production's, with them deciding to split a few flashback stories across the relatively short run time. I'm not usually a fan of doing that (see: 'Tarzan & Jane'), but Elliot M. Bour, Saul Andrew Blinkoff & co. do well to keep things interesting. The format probably works better for these films due to them not taking themselves too seriously; which is a positive.

It's nice to hear the return of Warburton, Spade, John Goodman (Pacha) and others - I'm likely to enjoy a follow-up film more if the same cast remain, changes almost always end up in failure. Tracey Ullman is one of a couple newcomers to this, she's alright as Miss Birdwell.

Sure, this isn't something that needed to be made. However, it is a sequel that is actually fairly entertaining - which isn't always the case, especially with Disney's animated films. Worth a watch.

I really liked the movie 'The Emporer's New Groove', but watching this was like coming home and seeing your wife having "relations" with a llama. Seriously, this movie was bad. It's like Club Dread after Super Troopers. I am supposed to write 10 lines, but I don't even know what else to say. I laughed a couple of times, but only because I was drinking. A movie like that should at least be funny when your drunk. It was not. Maybe llamas are just funny and regular cartoon people aren't. Either way, just stick with The Emporer's New Groove if you want a funny, cartoon, llama-themed movie. Line 10 is this line right here.

Kronk New Groove surprisingly although it is not better than the first one, it is almost at the same level, and that is super rare coming from Disney! Kronk is quite as developed as Kuzco (and even more), in addition to giving more importance to the secondary characters and gives them more charm. Although I did feel that as a result of the multiple stories that the film tells you, the same one in addition to not saying how long ago it happened and how they are located in the timeline of the series, also the comedy and the story in general is not so good as in the first (but still remarkable).

I definitely recommend it if you already see the first one. I have enjoyed Kronk New Groove almost the same as Emperor New Groove.
