A scuola con l'imperatore

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.

So I don't understand why everyone seems to be complaining about this show on here... I've only been watching it a short time, and it's pretty different from the movie, but it IS good for laughs and usually fairly entertaining.

No, it's not the top show on television, but it does its job (make you giggle- and occasionally chortle- as long as you don't take it too seriously), and does it well! The plot lines are generally entertaining, the characters always amusing, and the experience of watching the show is generally pleasurable.

Great for younger kids, and even some older folks who are still young at heart :)

Right, first things first, The Emperor's New School is not the best show on Disney, neither is it the worst. And is it as good as the film The Emperor's New Groove? No it isn't. But to be fair I wasn't expecting it to be, as the film was one of Disney's funniest, original and heartfelt films and by far and away one of the better post-Renaissance Disney movies. That said, this is a worthy and somewhat interesting series.

True, some of the story lines are on the repetitive and shallow side, and Kuzco can be a while to get used to at first as he is much more arrogant and self-centred(he can be rather dumb on occasions too) than he is in the movie to the point he is irritating, plus some of the episodes are a tad rushed. However, I loved the concept, it wasn't COMPLETELY original but it was an interesting concept at that.

The animation is beautiful, smooth, colourful and crisp as I like it, especially in the backgrounds. The characters can occasionally I agree be sugarcoated, but they are mostly sharp. The music is funky and memorable, while the writing is funny. Yes some of the jokes are taken from the original movie, but the delivery is fresh making it funny. And the voice acting is great. Patrick Warburton does a great job reprising his role as the clumsy but very likable Kronk, but the real kudos goes to Eartha Kitt who plays the villainess Yzma to hilarious perfection.

In conclusion, not brilliant but I like it- it is fun and interesting. Conversely if you want something more original and, dare I say it, funnier see the movie. 7/10 Bethany Cox

In one episode they make even a self-parody when Kuzco mentions that this is the first time they use that sort of special effects.

I could not believe the dip in production quality in animation and backgrounds after Lilo and Stitch TV series. That series had wonderful animation and beautiful water color backgrounds.

But here animation and design feel like low budget and unworthy of a Disney series based on a traditionally animated movie. Series does not even try to keep the quality of the movie or its video sequel. Unfortunately this also influences the writing and humour in some episodes as the characters are far too static and bland looking.

It was the last Disney series aired on ABC channel so this probably also played a role.

Also it feels like a worse version of Hercules the animated series that also takes place in school settings but difference there is that there are far more characters and villains and they are much better and memorable overall and with higher production values too.

Here only Kuzco, Kronk and Yzma stand out.

While it was not the first series to try and distance itself from the traditional design as 101 Dalmatians in 1997 did it first. But difference was that the animation there was leaps and bounds better compared to New School.

While first season of New School was rather forgettable, the moment Tony Craig returned as a director in season 2, the episodes got much better despite the low budget design and animation that would be more fit for other Disney series, not the supposed flagship ones.

I really liked the humour and dialogues in this series. They even make a reference to the Benny Hill Show (without the spicy moments of course, but still quite daring). And to my liking, this must be the only animated series where chinchillas are featured in so many episodes in one way or another.

But having grown with the classic Disney TV series, this would be hard to recommend for a rewatch. It clearly targets the audiences that grew and liked series with less detailed animation and backgrounds. But if Disney stopped producing such series like Lilo and Stitch and starts following other studio's cheaper trends, it is a sad thing to see.

i thought it was gonna be a cool TV seres because i was a big fan of both the movies made with kuzco but it turns out that they did use a different dude for his voice in stead of David Spade the other dude I'm not sure what his name is but he reminded me of a another character from the original movie Kronks shoulder angel you can totally tell just by listening to him talk the show is kind of funny but not only kuzco but Patchas voice is different as well and the way they draw patcha who is normally played by john Goodman also changed as well and what happened to Birdwell in kronks new groove Kronk got married ,on The Emerors New School no Birdwell its like Kuzco is a small child trying to graduate its almost stupid actually and the theme song is so preppy i guess its not terrible but its not awesome either
