Disney peaked with the Emperor’s New Groove
Eartha Kitt’s performance as Yzma…the music…the comedy…the Kronk. It is a perfect film
Additional reasons:
- Every single character is a PoC
- First Disney animated film to show a pregnant woman onscreen
- Real relationship goals: Pacha and ChiCha
- Really diverse body types on everybody!
- Classic tropes and classic tropes subverted (enemies to friends, anyone?)
- Kronk
Diverse body type: Llama
Also Kuzko’s character arc is nice to see, instead of ‘be yourself’ it’s like ‘hey, don’t be an asshole’ and he actually learns it
Also r*mance wasn’t at the center of the story, growth was, and that was really refreshing
Also the STYLE:
- the random cliffs and ledges and peaks and plummets.
- the weird-ass, completely inefficient architecture that served no real functional purpose other than to be big and grand and showy.
- that fucking 90 foot throne
- the fact that Yzma was lounging on a ledge next to a bottomless chasm somewhere in the middle of the palace
- the COLORS oh my god enough of this desaturated, gritty, hyper-realistic bullshit i wanna see GAUDY DECADENCE for the sake of DECADENCE again
- Yzma is literally purple and looks like a skeleton and yet somehow no one is bothered by it and she somehow looks fabulous
