The Emperor's New School (2006-2008) is a Disney Channel and ABC Kids show based on the Disney animated film The Emperor's New Groove.Kuzco, the main character, is still an obnoxious self-centered emperor (in spite of how the movie ended) who has been temporarily dethroned and must attend The Kuzco Academy and pass all his classes to become Emperor, as you can't become one without finishing school. The Kuzco Academy is run by Principal Amzy, a Paper-Thin Disguise for Yzma, the series villain, which fools no one except her handsome but dim lackey Kronk.Yzma wants to usurp Kuzco's throne which, given her controlling personality, wouldn't be good and thus schemes to prevent Kuzco from passing his classes—at first by transforming him into all sorts of different animals. In Season 2, she finds an evil hall of evil machinery. Luckily for Kuzco, he has Malina — straight-A student, cheerleader, and "Hottie-Hot-Hottie" — as well as his foster family of Pacha, Chicha, and the kids to help him out. Occasionally Kronk, too.Usually the episodes center around teaching Kuzco some sort of Aesop, though it started to get away from that later in the run. The show has also been known for recycling gags from the movie.It has the honor of being one of the last Disney animated shows for ABC before they switched to educational blocks. This was also one of the last works of Eartha Kitt; she died just over a month after the show ended. | |

I Was Quite a Looker: Yzma. Would you believe it?◊. Likely a reference to Kingdom of the Sun where Yzma's primary motivation was to retain her youthful good looks. | |

Gratuitous Spanish: Given the geographical region this show takes place in is Peru, it’s not uncommon for characters to drop Spanish words or interjections, even though people would’ve spoken Quechua at the time. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| The Emperor's New School / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: Red-eyed tree frogs are native to Central America and thus out of place in a series set in what is now Peru. Of course, the series isn't really concerned with accuracy, so it's forgivable. Plus it makes for a catchy song. Alligators are often shown in this series (the alligator that ate Kuzco’s homework, Yzma’s pet alligator), but alligators are only found either in North America or China, and not in South America. The only crocodilians you would find in what is now Peru are caimans (and American crocodiles in the most northwestern part of the country near Ecuador). | |

It Only Works Once: In one episode, Guaca is declared emperor and therefore, the one Yzma must get rid of in order to become empress. When she tries to get rid of him the same way she tried with Kuzco in the movie, Guaca sees through the trick because he knows about the previous attempt. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Emperor's New School / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: One of the subplots of the episode "Project Poncho" involves Yzma being tricked into believing that she got a poncho that only the intelligent could see, culminating with Tipo pointing out, from the middle of the crowd for the fashion show, that "the Empress is in her underwear". This side of the story was all referring to The Emperor's New Clothes, the story that loosely inspired the original movie. (Well, the title, if nothing else.) Malina bears a slight resemblance to Mata, Kuzco's love interest in the originally planned Kingdom of the Sun. | |

Parental Abandonment: Kuzco, just like in the movie. One episode even deals with a sort of "family Olympics," and he immediately goes to join Pacha's family. He himself claims he was "birthed from a glorious union between the Moon and the Stars." It's even painted Renaissance-style on the school's ceiling. It's implied in another episode that Yzma is behind the disappearance of Kuzco's parents (or at least his dad). | |

Limited Wardrobe: Changed in season 2, in which Kuzco had three or four sets of clothes. In the first season, all he wore was the school uniform. Season 1 would also fit in the School Uniforms are the New Black trope. The family picnic episode, it's interesting to note that his earrings are gold instead of his usual blue, only for that one episode though. | |

Different in Every Episode: Something different happens every time Kronk is asked to pull the lever to the secret lab. Hilariously lampshaded in one episode: Overlapping with Every Episode Ending: While every episode of season 1 ended with an instrumental version of the Expository Theme Tune playing over the end logos, season 2 switched to using a 6-second music cue from earlier in the episode. | |

Once an Episode: "Pull the lever, Kronk!" "Wrong lever!" Also Kronk forgetting Amzy and Yzma are the same person. The concept is, of course, lampshaded in "Yzma Be Gone." "It's time for Kuzco's Doodles! That's the part of the show where I [insert some "explanation" about the situation at hand]." As the show went on, this got played with more and more—Malina sometimes took it over, and a whole episode was centered around it once where almost everyone got a turn. | |

Not a Date: This was a running gag. Whenever Kuzco and Malina would end up doing something together, Kuzco would call it a date, and Malina would tell him "it's not a date." Notable in the episode "Working Girl". In the series finale, they finally go on an actual date and become an official couple. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| The Emperor's New School / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: "The Emperor's New Home School" features two both aimed getting Kuzco back into regular school. Yzma arranges a field trip and pairs Malina with Ramon to make him insanely jealous. Meanwhile, since Kuzco's just lazing about the house, Chicha deliberately becomes an overbearing Education Mama to make him want to leave. "Graduation Groove": With Kuzco guaranteed to finally graduate, Yzma aims to get him to abdicate the throne instead. She poses as the Royal Record Keeper and goes on at length to Kuzco about all the boring tasks and responsibilities that come with being emperor. As herself, she then offers Kuzco a potion that will turn him into a chicken with no responsibilities. It almost works, but Malina and Kronk manage to find Kuzco and help him set things right. | |

Actor Allusion: "The Mystery of Micchu Pachu" features a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax perpetrated by a character voiced by Frank Welker (Fred and Scooby). The Couch Gag right before "Kuzcogarten" has Kuzco pitch new titles to reflect other Disney shows on at the time, including a riff on Phil of the Future. J.P. Manoux portrayed both Curtis the Caveman and Vice Principal Neil Hackett on that series. "Last Ditch Effort": Mr. Purutu (voiced by Ben Stein) calls class attendance, so he keeps asking, "Kuzco? Kuzco? Kuzco?" | |

The B Grade: Deconstructed in "Girls Behaving Oddly" when Malina gets an A-. She's deeply unhappy about her perfect GPA being ruined (to the point Kuzco and Kronk get scared). She's almost talked down from this, but then she gets kicked off the cheerleading squad and turned away by her other friends, which shatters her self-confidence and leaves her struggling to find a place to fit in. She ends up falling in with the school's bad girls group and nearly commits some vandalism to earn their approval. | |

| The Emperor's New School / int_4e9fe57d | comment |
Trauma Button: The backstory of "The Mystery of Micchu Pachu" involves an old emperor being usurped by a royal adviser by being turned into an animal (an anteater in this case). The emperor never returned to normal, so was left alone, insane, and friendless until he died. Kuzco is, of course, terrified. Mr. Moleguaco lampshades how this story hits close to home for him and tells him it's okay to admit he's scared rather than put up a brave front. | |

"The Emperor's New Home School" features two both aimed getting Kuzco back into regular school. Yzma arranges a field trip and pairs Malina with Ramon to make him insanely jealous. Meanwhile, since Kuzco's just lazing about the house, Chicha deliberately becomes an overbearing Education Mama to make him want to leave. | |

Since the machine removes them one at a time, there are dozens of Malinas running around causing havoc, while Kuzco finds himself creeped out by the lengths "Loves Kuzco Malina" goes to show her affection since she has no other personality traits to balance it out. | |

Good Angel, Bad Angel | |

Good Angel, Bad Angel: Parodied lots of times. In the first season, ALL THE CHARACTERS had small Kronks on their shoulders. Inverted in one episode, where Kuzco's angel/devil decide to switch it around for once. In another episode, Kronk's devil appears as usual, but Malina's angel appears instead because Kronk gave his angel the week off. Things get extra wacky when Kuzco's devil pops up to hit on Malina's angel. "The Good, the Bad and the Kronk" makes it a plot-point, as Yzma captures the angel and leaves the devil free in order to influence Kronk into committing acts of evil. It works until the angel gets free. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Kuzco wants nothing more than to graduate and be emperor—but in the series finale, after living as a peasant for so long and learning to enjoy the simpler things in life (as well as learning about the pressure and responsibilities that come with being the Emperor), he starts having second thoughts. Also in "Auction Action", after Malina bids on Kronk, Kuzco gets Yatta to use his Kuz-credit card, which has a thousand Kuz-coin limit, to bid on him to get back at Malina. He didn't even think to tell Yatta how much to bid, so she spends all the money on the card. | |

Character Exaggeration | |
| The Emperor's New School / int_9002083e | comment |
Character Exaggeration: Kuzco's intelligence, big time. In the movie, he's sheltered and spoiled, but savvy enough to know that Yzma is trying to do his job behind his back and that she has a secret lab, in addition to being manipulative enough to play Pacha for a sap twice. In the series, he's often Book Dumb or a straight-up Idiot Hero, but he's at least smart enough to know when Kronk is trying to potion him. | |

All-Loving Hero: Kronk. He's always putting others before himself, does various charitable acts around the village, and participates in a number of clubs solely to make the school better for everyone. Helping Yzma is the only bad thing he ever does and sometimes he even refuses to help if the plan is too nasty. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| The Emperor's New School / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: No one seems interested in bringing Yzma to justice for the various crimes she's committed. Since the show is set after the first movie, no one considers trying to arrest her after her conspiracy to assassinate the Emperor. Even if Kuzco's royal title is currently suspended until his graduation, she is still guilty enough for everything from fraud to theft and attempted murder. Not only that, but it becomes an Open Secret that the school's Principal is just Yzma in disguise, yet no one seems to care. In "The Emperor's New Tuber", Malina cheats to win a largest potato contest and gets away with it because the foot of Yzma's giant stone robot crushed it into mashed potato, and she instead gets 1st place for the best tasting category and doesn't confess to cheating. | |

What You Are in the Dark: Yzma tries to distract Kuzco from school work by secretly feeding him a potion that makes every girl that sees him fall head over heels in love. Kuzco initially enjoys this newfound attention and hopes to exploit it with Malina, but he quickly sees she's not remotely in control of her actions and so resists her advances. He spends the rest of the episode running away from her and every other girl until the potion finally wears off. | |

Retool: Parodied in "The Emperor's New Show" when fan letters convince Kuzco to change the show. They do a cop show, a game show, anime, and wrestling. It turns out Yzma is behind the letters as part of a plan to destroy Kuzco. Kronk's cooking show pitch is rejected, so he decides to interfere during the wrestling one and spills the beans in the process. Ultimately, Kuzco writes his own fan letter just to put everything back to normal. | |

Operation: Jealousy | |
| The Emperor's New School / int_b6caa5b4 | comment |
Operation: Jealousy: "Auction Action" opens with a bachelor auction headlining the male students. Malina was actually going to bid on Kuzco, until he offended her with another egotistical fit, so she bids on Kronk out of spite. Kuzco pleads with Yata to bid on him in order to save face, as well as make Malina jealous. Both couples end up going to the same restaurant (because Kuzco asked Kronk where he was taking Malina), so passive aggressive sniping ensues. Eventually, Kronk and Yata get so sick of it that they leave and go out on their own date. | |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The last episode has Kuzco providing this over the end credits: Kuzco invites Pacha, Chicha and their kids to live in the palace with him, which they gladly accept. Guaka's his lead publicist, telling the public about what Kuzco's doing as emperor. He and Malina are (presumably) still a couple, with Malina also now working as a reporter for the Kuzconian Times. Kronk is Kuzco's lead royal advisor. In a nice bit of karma (and revenge), Kuzco forces Yzma to work as Kronk's assistant. | |

Nice Mean And In Between: The main trio of Kuzco, Malina and Kronk — Kronk serves as the nice and goofiest of the trio. Kuzco is the mean, as he's the brattiest and selfish out of them. This leaves Malina as the in-between, she is the Only Sane Woman of the trio, she always has her kindness, but can be a little unstable at times. | |

Irony: Yzma's potions accidentally get into the local drinking water, transforming various characters into animals. Kuzco, of all people, is spared this because he refuses to drink "peasant water" and drinks his own brand. When Yzma is confronted, he appears to find this all somewhat amusing. | |

Aesop Amnesia | |
| The Emperor's New School / int_c435ec5d | comment |
Aesop Amnesia: By the time of the show, Kuzco has completely forgotten the lesson he learned in the movie, that it's not all about him, and relearns the same lesson in the series at least Once an Episode. To be fair, it's shown in flashbacks during the film that Kuzco has been spoiled rotten since he was in diapers; eighteen years of self-absorption and Jerkassery don't just go away overnight. That being said, while he is still incredibly self-absorbed and narcissistic here, he is also more solidly a Jerk with a Heart of Gold rather than a completely unlikable Hate Sink like he was in the early movie, and his selfish antics tend to be more dorky than truly mean. In the movie, Kronk finally worked up the courage to quit going along with Yzma's evil schemes after she told him she never liked his spinach puffs. In the series, he's back to being her minion. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| The Emperor's New School / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Several episodes end up justifying why Kuzco's ego and entitlement are so massive. Flashbacks show him consistently being spoiled and getting his way with nothing in the way of good influences. Various occasions and locations are also named after him. Kuzco spends much of "Clash of the Families" grousing about family fun since he never got to participate in the competition before (both due to being emperor and because his own parents are gone). While Pacha's family tries to include him in the fun, he misinterprets the boat not being big enough for him as proof they don't actually want him there. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Kuzco being transformed into various members of the Animal Kingdom is often treated with passing indifference. | |

| The Emperor's New School / int_ee7ed46e | comment |
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: Yzma is Kuzco's head royal advisor but doesn't actually give him any advice—she's initially under the impression that, since Kuzco has to graduate high school in order to officially become the Emperor, she doesn't have to do her job until then. She's told otherwise by a board of people in charge of reviewing her work in "Take My Advice." | |

Brainless Beauty: Subverted—Malina's considered to be the prettiest girl in school and is also cheerleader, but she's also probably the smartest kid in school and has a 4.0-GPA. The rest of her fellow cheerleaders are also straight-A students and don't want to coast by on their looks. | |

Rage Against the Author: Rage Against The Animators, really. As per the absence of the fourth wall in this series, when Kuzco becomes The Caligula and starts abusing his power in one episode, he fires the colorists (leaving the show penciled in black and white until he rehires them). | |

You Mean X Mas: Giftmas (and Kuzcoween and whatever other holiday they feel like parodying). The most painful is that in the Christmas episode a kid's wish is to see snow...and Kuzco freezes to near-death in the same episode. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| The Emperor's New School / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Yzma has a few moments. In "Evil and Eviler," she hires an emperor exterminator to get rid of Kuzco, but saves his life at the last minute. In "The Prisoner of Kuzcoban," she tells Kronk that his favorite superhero, Pajama Llama, is not real, which leads to Kronk breaking down in tears and becoming depressed. At the end of the episode, Yzma dresses up like Pajama Llama and sings the theme song to make Kronk happy again. In "Cornivale," Yzma disguises herself as a relative of Pacha's to get to Kuzco, and it turns out she enjoys playing with the kids. When Kuzco does show up, he gives Yzma a big hug and so she can't bring herself to carry out her plan. Her disguise wears off, but Pacha's family lets her stay as a guest. During that episode's end credits, though, Kuzco has to remind the audience that Yzma's not really that nice. | |
