What went wrong?

nothing? i thought it was a fun show

It was one of the only good shows airing at that time on Disney which was full of live action garbage.

Unfortunately it was a generic sitcom ice of life show about learning valuable life lessons and not being an asshole.
Almost the same problem with Lilo and Stitch.
Not as witty, creative, emotional, adventurous as the movies, not in the least bit.

It wasn't an adventure show like it should had been. They regressed the emperor's age, they made him live with Patcha, they made him go to school, they made him lust over some random generic responsible popular egghead #1099

The show is overall okay. I'm not expecting massive character arcs or growth but when every episode is Kuzco learning not to be a douchebag only to learn this lesson over and over again it gets boring. But seriously they wasted young Ysma voiced by Grey in an 11 minute episode along with young Pacha and his wife and neither halves of that half of an episode had any real substance. It was like "look at this and look at that" and it was done.

Nothing? It was a somewhat funny cartoon that was animated pretty decently.

The episode where they're watching the museum at night and do different versions of their own drawn perspectives of the night's events was really creative I thought

They recycled the exact same jokes from the movie endlessly.

Hell, they couldn't even decide if it was a prequel or sequel to the movie.

It was alright. The premise doesn't really make sense (Why is Yzma still the advisor and next in line for the throne if Kuzco's had plenty of time to tell everyone that she was fired? Who's running the kingdom while Kuzco's in school? If Yzma's next in line anyway, why isn't she running the kingdom already?). They also got bored with the setting and modernized it by having TV and shopping malls and stuff, just like with Brandy and Mr. Whiskers. And like said, Kuzco keeps learning the same lesson about not being a selfish asshole over and over again.

The lever

Aaay

It was explained in one episode that there's an "Emperor Permit" that qualifies Kuzco as emperor. It just pending at the moment because Kuzco hasn't met the educational criteria, but he's still the one holding it. Yzma can't succeed the throne until it gets voided by Kuzco failing (although she tries to just steal the paperwork and change the name on it in one episode).

High school Musical was popular at the time, so they came up with the genius idea of crossing it over with Emperor's New Groove, turning Kuzco into a theatre fag.

This is the only time I can recall where Jessica DiCicco played calm friendly girl.

We lost Eartha Kitt :(

Not enough Kuzco and Pacha bro moments. Kuzco's character growth from the movie being undone.

The Dutch version was fucking based. Dutch-ify the comedy and they were great - simple as that.

It was legitimately better than both movies.

Aladdin's villains cast was really cool.

I was about to ask that. The theme song states he's an "Emperor-to-be", so that should signify it's before the movie, but there are also characters from the movie in the show that he met for the first time in the movie (Pacha and his family, the squirrel, etc).
Most animated shows that are based on a movie seem to loosely follow the movie's plot. I will never forgive Ozzy & Drix for undoing Frank's new start at the end of Osmosis Jones.

Not much if I'm remembering correctly, though I haven't seen it since I was a kid, so I'm probably not

Ozzy & Drix was WAY better than the movie though

>Hercules, but worse
Gee, I wonder

Hercules wasn't even that good compared to other Disney movie tv cartoons like Aladdin, Tarzan, Timon and Pumbaa, Lilo and Stitch etc..

And buzz lightyear was comedy gold

Yeah, I just didn't like that they threw away the entire plot of the movie within the opening scene of the first episode si they could have wacky adventures in a teenager.

Explain

Reminder Tim Curry voiced one of the villains on it.
Goddammit now I've gotta check this series out for the first time in 20 years.

It won't hold up. you're better off keeping your memories of the show untainted.

Trust me.

>The episode where they're watching the museum at night and do different versions of their own drawn perspectives of the night's events was really creative I thought
Ed Edd n Eddy did something kind of similar to this with that episode where they get stuck in Johnny's wall and each have their own re-telling of the events leading up to there, that sounds cool having it with different animation though.

That was such a weird episode.
A guy who was such a dick that his own body rejected him and ruled the kingdom...and the people loved the headless body and revolted when the head came back

> OLD BAD
Fuck off zoomer

>body of a chad but the head of an unlikeable dweeb
Sounds like everybody on /fit/

Alternate reality. Reboot.

Whatever you call it, it's different than the original. Not as sharp, but the original had one movie's worth of time and budget to be entertaining. Making a series that is as consistently entertaining is a harder row to hoe.

All this being said, any more Eartha Kitt is a better thing. She's one of those I'd-listen-to-them-read-the-telephone-book kind of voices that's always fun to hear.

You do you, but I rewatched xena and it was a mistake

What's bad about it?
The villains seem pretty cool and the third Aladdin movie was great, also they did a crossover with Hercules if I remember correctly.

French is something like "Kuzco, An Emperor At School"

And, in the Hercules series, Hades and Hercules are constantly at odds, while in the movie Hades didn't even know Hercules was alive when he was a teenager.

No it's still good but it's campy and the pacing is really off at times, like they forgot they only had 20-ish minute episodes. So the endings are rushed.

I think an user said they both drink some memory-erasing potion by accident in the final episode.

He probably mistook that for the episode where Herc meets Meg before the movie and they end up getting memory-wiped by Lethe River water. As far as I know, there was never a true finale episode.

>All this being said, any more Eartha Kitt is a better thing. She's one of those I'd-listen-to-them-read-the-telephone-book kind of voices that's always fun to hear.
Same, I miss hearing her in shows.

Yeah, apparently the writers openly declared that they were ignoring the inconsistency for the sake of including Hades in the show.

The musical episode was always a favorite of mine

As far as I'm concerned, this is the only reason to make a new series

>a sequel that feels more like a prequel that also re-hashes the same plot/moral of the first movie in every episode

>Ozzy & Drix was WAY better than the movie though

This is the problem with the show.

Well yeah, because that shits on the entire premise of Hades' 18-year plan.

It was very good.

Reminder the majority of self-aware jokes and lack of treating the plot as important that plagues Disney movies started with the Emperor's New Groove. If they also had a fake out over who the villain was last minute, would be indistinguishable from current ones.

It took the movie's basic plot ad made it a formula, when said movie often subverted expectation

damn this was my shit on saturday mornings on ABC. Didn't have cable, so being able to see disney cartoons made me feel cool as fuck.

I still remember the joke
>"You needed to see me Principle Amzy"
>"Idiot, It's me!"
>"YZMA! Where is Principle Amzy!"
