Kuzco 2 : King Kronk

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! :)

"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!

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.

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.

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.
