The show comes after The Emperor's New Groove. This is indicated by knowledge of the events of the movie, which are brought up in multiple episodes. The show's position in relation to Kronk's New Groove is less clear. It is possible that the series and Kronk's New Groove are two separate continuities. In the series, Kronk is still working for Yzma and is single, but in Kronk's New Groove he retires as Yzma's lackey and gets married during the closing credits. In the beginning of Kronk's New Groove, Yzma is pictured with a cat's tail, claiming it was a side effect from her kitten transformation at the end of The Emperor's New Groove. She does not, however, have a tail in the series. In the series not mentioned to the incans or Peru in any way. Voiced by: J. P. Manoux Kuzco is a fictional character from the movie The Emperor's New Groove. He is emperor of the Incas, who is turned into a llama by the evil Yzma, his adviser, right after she got sacked for sitting on his throne. He has a nasally voice, is self-centered and cocky, and thinks he is irresistible. He has a crush on his classmate Malina and his name is a parody of the ancient Incan city of Cusco. In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco was spoiled, selfish, arrogant, cocky, and rude, albeit with a sense of flair and pizazz. After being turned into a llama and being presumed dead, Kuzco became friends with Pacha, a peasant. Pacha helped Kuzco regain his humanity and his throne by teaching him the meaning of friendship. In the movie, during the 'funeral' for Kuzco, Yzma says that he was "taken" on the night of his 18th birthday, showing that he is 18 years old in the last half of the movie. Voiced by David Spade in the movie. In Kronk's New Groove, Kuzco is the director and talks to the audience. While Kronk sees the love of his dreams when he and his troupe go camping, he is trying to get a "thumbs up" from Papi. Yzma also gets Kronk to sell her "youth potion" to the seniors at the Senior Home, by persuading him that with all the money,it will get him a house on a hill like Papi wanted. Kronk does this , and eventually, the seniors run out of money and end up selling the Senior Home, where Kronk later builds his home. Soon Kronk feels bad for the seniors and gives up his home. Meanwhile, at camp later on in the movie, he finds his true love , but runs into trouble with her , by when Kronk says to Tepo " Do what ever it takes to win the gymnastics contest." Tepo takes it literally , and puts itching powder in their gymnast chalk. The two soon make up with each other and love each other again. Kronk gets his thumbs up from Papi because of what his friends did at the end at the restaurant, and he is really happy by that. After: Him and his lover get married and live happily ever after. In The Emperor's New School, Kuzco is forced to go to Kuzco Academy, a school he paid for, to stay emperor. He must pass all his classes but Yzma and Kronk are out to make sure he fails. He is again extremely self-centered, but more wacky than mean, unlike his character in The Emperor's New Groove. Kuzco also has a love interest, Malina, in The Emperor's New School. He refers to her as a "hottie hot hottie". Kuzco and Malina apparently like each other, and he kissed her in The Emperor's New School musical. In "Everybody Loves Kuzco", she went on an actual date with him after Kuzco was infected with a cutie potion. She then came on to him, whereupon he ditched her. But, even after this, Kuzco still has a crush on Malina. In one episode of The Emperor's New School, it is revealed that Kuzco has a fear of frogs after a traumatic childhood experience with them as a baby (he covers it up by saying to Pacha "Me, Emperor; frog, loser"), but this was soon solved right after Yzma turned him into a red-eyed tree frog who she planned to dissect during a biology class. Instead, Kuzco managed to escape (thanks to Kronk) and freed the frogs. In the episode "Working Girl", it was revealed that Kuzco's favorite food is Mudka's Meat Mug, which is the only thing he orders. His catch phrases are "Boom baby" and "It's all about me" The series also give a little insight on Kuzco's parents. In the episode "Father O Mine" Kuzco's real father appears in a flashback. He appears to look like a strong, muscular man. He was Emperor before Kuzco. Whether or not he was a wise or smart leader is unknown. According to Kuzco and Yzma, he was lost at sea on a trip when Kuzco was a baby, and Kuzco inherited the throne. What happened to Kuzco's mother is unknown for she has never been seen in the series or the flashbacks. Voiced by: Eartha Kitt Formerly the Royal Advisor to the Emperor, Yzma was fired during the events in The Emperor's New Groove for meddling in Kuzco's affairs and attempting to act as Empress in his absence. Enraged at her unemployment, Yzma and her dim-witted assistant Kronk conspired to remove Kuzco from power so that she could become empress. While she had intended to poison the young emperor during dinner, the potion transformed him into a llama, which she ordered Kronk to dispose of. Unable to bring himself to kill Kuzco, Kronk accidentally dropped him into Pacha's wagon, therefore prompting the events of the movie. Having been unsuccessful at disposing of Kuzco during the events of the movie, the series shows more of her plans. She constantly schemes for Kuzco to fail at Kuzco Academy, thus allowing herself to rule, and disguises herself as Principal Amzy (Yzma spelled backwards) in order to achieve that end. A running gag with this identity comes from Kronk's inability to comprehend that she and Principal Amzy are one and the same. She often has to rip off her disguise in order to make him understand. Even then, Kronk constantly forgets it. Like most villains, she comes up with grandiose schemes with a set objective in mind but fails to pay attention to minor details, still ending with an emphatic "Brrrriliant!" More often than not, her lack of thought concerning the situation causes her scheme to backfire, helping Kuzco instead of hindering him. She is often unsuccessful at taking into account Kuzco's devious personality, and Kronk's dimwitted nature. Most of her plans in the series are much more lighthearted than her murder plot in The Emperor's New Groove, with a few exceptions. In the show she simply wants him to fail school, and while sometimes her plans involve Kuzco's death they usually just involve detaining him or transforming him so that he cannot complete the task needed to pass whatever class he is close to failing. In "The Emperor's New School Musical" we learn that Yzma's secret dream is to be a singer and to star in a musical. During Graduation Groove, Yzma has kept one potion that would ultimately destroy Kuzco (which is proven true after Kronk causes her to drop it and it unleashes a ferocious explosion). Even though she falls back on her next plan, to cause Kuzco to willingly turn into a chicken and flee, she loses the crown when Kuzco returns. During the end credits, Kuzco reveals that Yzma is now Kronk's assistant, in which she shouts "KUZCO!!!". Voiced by: Patrick Warburton Kronker Pepikrankenitz is a fictional character who also is a very muscular man who is from the Disney animated feature The Emperor's New Groove. He also starred in his own film, Kronk's New Groove, and is a recurring character in the TV series, The Emperor's New School. In all of his appearances, Kronk is voiced by Patrick Warburton. Kronk is shown to be Jewish, as in the film Kronk's New Groove when he talks about himself. In The Emperor's New Groove, Kronk was Yzma's henchman, and helped her turn Kuzco into a llama. He almost threw him over a waterfall, but dropped him on Pacha's cart instead of killing him, and then helped Yzma find him. At the end he has a change of heart and helps Kuzco. In Kronk's New Groove, he is now head chef and owner of Mudka's. He likes this much better than his position with Yzma, but she eventually tricks him into helping her with a fake "youth potion" to con money out of elderly villagers. He also has a love interest, Birdwell, and a father, Papi who is voiced by John Mahoney. In The Emperor's New School episode, Clash of the Families, his father makes a return appearance this time voiced by Jeff Bennett. His other family members in Clash of the Families are his brother Krank who doesn't talk and his sister who's name wasn't revealed in this episode and also has no voice role.Kuzco always calls him a meathead. In The Emperor's New School, he is arguably the most complex or duplicitous character of the series as he plays the role of hero-sidekick and villain-sidekick simultaneously. He is Yzma's henchman again and also Kuzco's classmate. He gives Kuzco lots of potions and is his best friend (or as good a friend one can be when he's the villain's henchman). As a running gag, he can never remember that Principal Amzy is really Yzma, and as a result, usually thinks he is in trouble when Yzma calls for him. Kronk is also a great cook who can make spinach puffs and fondue, and also has a secret recipe for foie gras. He is also capable of incredible superhuman athletics, such as running from the school to his house and back in mere seconds, climbing a mountain (while having a seat with Yzma riding tied to his body), and so on. It comes from the fact Kronk comes from a family of athletic buff nuts. Kronk loves to sing his own personal theme songs as he does stuff, much to the annoyance of anyone nearby. It was revealed in the episode of The Emperor's New School "Oops, All Doodles" that Kronk has a talent for drawing. He also has a devil and angel who appear on his shoulder whenever he has a change of heart. They look like Kronks dressed in angel and devil costumes. They always fight. Tipo also has a devil and angel along with Kuzco and Malina. The angel and devil Kronk have also appeared on Kuzco's shoulders during a moral dilemma (according to them, they're freelancers). It is unknown why Kronk was Yzma's henchman in The Emperor's New School, after quitting, or why he was even her henchman in the first place. In The Emperor's New School Episode, Father O Mine, it shows a short flashback as to Yzma meeting Kronk. He appears as a slightly skinnier, nerd like character with glasses and freckles, making it questionable that Kronk did some working out over the years to get his big arms and chest. After the flashback, Kronk says "You could've stopped the flashbacks before I showed up. It's embarrassing". In The Emperor's New School Episode, Clash of the Families, it is revealed that his last name is Pepikrankenitz. In The Emperor's New School episode, Prisoner of Kuzcoban, it is revealed that he worships Pajama Llama, a fictional superhero llama with the power to turn clothes into pajamas, and he is very sad and depressed when Yzma tells him that Pajama Llama is not real. Kronk's catch phrase is "Right". Kronk can't sing or rap. At the end credits of Graduation Groove, Kronk has been hired as Kuzco's new royal advisor with Yzma now working for Kronk. Voiced by: Jessica DiCicco Malina is a fictional character from the Disney animated series The Emperor's New School. She is the only major character from that series that has not previously appeared in either The Emperor's New Groove or Kronk's New Groove. Biography Malina is smart and pretty. She's Kuzco's friend and almost-love interest. However, he has a not-so-secret crush on her (he often calls her "a hottie hot hottie" or " the hottiest hot hottie in hottie-dom"). Malina is a cheerleader and the school council president. She prints the Academy's news scroll. She always gets A +, apparently a requirement for the cheerleading squad. She is driven to excel almost to the point of having a nervous breakdown if she doesn't do everything perfectly perfect (a prime example of a Type A personality), and has a very high moral mindset which the show uses as a foil against Kuzco's wild intentions. Malina also has an incredibly strong sense of winning every contest she enters by any means, which first appeared in the episode "The Emperor's New Tuber" in which Malina was determined to fill all the spots on the Whack-A-Weasel arcade game on the high score board with her name (the last person on the list was Yzma). Also, both her devil and angel sides encouraged her to cheat in the potato growing contest despite her angel side was supposed to "tell her not to do it", in which she responded that she wasn't about to lose her perfect record, in one episode it is shown that the Devil Malina is usually tied up by the Angel Malina which explains why she always does good. In the 2nd season, Malina shows that she isn't as perfect as most people think. For example, Malina is sometimes bossy, and shows greed, mentioned by Kuzco in the episode "Gold Fool's". Malina is also very serious and has a serious face referred to as the 'that Face' by Kuzco and Kronk. In "Oops, All Doodles", it is revealed that Malina's doodles are drawn in a super deformed anime / Chibi -style. Malina is also set with a challenge before her. Get Kuzco to do the right thing. She tries to reason with him about cheating, going over-egoistic, hurting someone's feelings, superstitions that make no sense, being sexist, the works. Malina spies on Kuzco because she wants to help him graduate, she wants to help him learn how to become a good emperor, and she wants him to do the right thing. Malina is the smart side of her group of friends. She always has to show Kuzco the correct decision to take (though he rarely listens). Malina seems to know what Kuzco is thinking. (Example: She knows that Kuzco was calling her a "hottie-hot-hottie" in his mind). As shown in the episode "The Mystery Of Michu Pachu", she has a pink rabbit stuffed animal, named Floopy, similar to Kuzco's 'Wompy.'(Malina: I always take her on trips. She makes me feel safe. Kuzco: Malina gone loco.) At the end of the episode, it shows a picture of Kuzco, Malina, Wompy, and Floopy. Also in the episode the emperors new musical at the end Kuzco and Malina kiss. She gave the comment, "Wow.", although she claims it was just acting. She often also uses Kuzco's crush to get him to do the right thing. It has been proved that Malina likes Kuzco, for example in one episode she seems to look forward to a date with Kuzco that she had originally accepted reluctantly; in the episode "The Emperor's New Musical," she admitted that she was beginning to kinda like him. In "Everybody Loves Kuzco," after Kuzco was infected with a cutie potion, the two went on an actual date; afterward, she came on to him and got ditched by Kuzco. In "Come Fly With Me," while Kuzco got turned into a Fly and was spying on Malina, she does admit that she has feelings for him, but his ego annoys her at times and is why she helps him to change. Later in "Auction Action," Kuzco uses Yatta to make Malina, successfully, jealous. She in turn uses Kronk. Later in episode, during an argument between them, she admits again that she does like Kuzco, much to her own annoyance as she then lowers her head stating "Oh no, I can't believe I just said that out loud!" Her catch phrases are "Kuzco!" and "This is not a date." During the final episode, "Graduation Groove", Malina's concern for Kuzco rises as he is uneasy about graduating and becoming the village's leader. At the end, Malina agrees to go on a date with Kuzco, showing a bright future for the two of them. During the end credits, Kuzco tells that Malina has joined the Kuzconian Times as a reporter. Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore (1st season) & John Goodman (2nd season) Pacha is a fictional character from the Walt Disney animated canon movie The Emperor's New Groove, in which he was voiced by John Goodman (also to reprise his role in season 2 of the series). He is a well-meaning peasant and family man, and a subject in the selfish Emperor Kuzco's kingdom. He is the most noble character in the movie, and it is in part due to his example that Kuzco begins his self-transformation into a noble man himself. Pacha also reappeared in the direct-to-video sequel called Kronk's New Groove (once again voiced by Goodman) and then in the follow-up series The Emperor's New School (in which his voice acting was taken over by Fred Tatasciore and once again by Goodman later in the series. In The Emperor's New Groove, Pacha is summoned to the palace by Kuzco and is told that his house on the hill will be destroyed to make room for Kuzco's summer home. Distraught, and horrified that the emperor could be so callous, he travels home to tell his wife (Chicha) and his two children (Chaca and Tipo) that they have to leave their ancestral home. However, before he can tell them, he discovers that Kuzco has been transformed into a llama and dropped in the back of his cart. The two set out to turn Kuzco back to a human by getting to Yzma's lab. Kuzco lets Pacha keep his house. In Kronk's New Groove, Pacha is Kronk's friend. He disguises himself as Pachita, Kronk's mother-in-law. (They initially planned for him to pretend to be his wife, but Pacha's wife Chicha did that instead.) In The Emperor's New School, he is like a father to Kuzco and lets him live with him. He always gives Kuzco advice to help him out of any situation. For example, when Kuzco was transformed into a rabbit, he told Kuzco to "Make the best of what you've got," which in this case was speed. In "Cart Wash," when Kuzco is transformed into an elephant and laments how he is going to wash carts, Pacha tells him that elephants wash themselves through their trunks and he could do the same with carts. Pacha is married to Chicha, and as of the time of the first movie they have two children together: their daughter, Chaca (seven and a half), and their younger son Tipo, with another one on the way. This third child, a son named Yupi, is born before the movie's final scene and appears in all spin-off material. After Kuzco's graduation in Graduation Groove, he reveals during the credits that he had Pacha and his family move into the palace with him. Later on in the episode that was cut "Pacha's clean up"Chica finally leaves Pacha and goes for his brother and Kuzco heared and destroyed the house on top of the hill and with Pacha in it after he kicks Pacha and his children out of the palace, while Chica is off with Pacha's brother and taking her children with her Voiced by: Wendie Malick Pacha's loving wife. She's like a mother to Kuzco, but is often exasperated with his lack of helping out around the house, and his selfish nature. She's prone to being sarcastic, much of which is directed at Kuzco or his actions. She is a devoted stay at home mother who takes care of her three children and Kuzco. She cooks, cleans and has a good head on her shoulders. But after she leaves Pacha for his brother in the cut episode "Pacha's clean up". As she takes her children with her. Voiced by Jessie Flower The seven year and a half year old daughter of Chicha and Pacha. She can be mischievous when it comes to Yzma and is smart enough to out smart her with her brother Tipo's help. She has the ability to bust Kuzco when he acts badly and treats him like a brother she never needed. She is thin with two pigtails and has large front teeth. And later on in the cut episode "Pacha's clean up she and her brothers go and leave her father and goes with their mother. Voiced by: Curtis Armstrong Kuzco's short-tempered and short in height teacher. He often finds Kuzco annoying and also tries to play on his weaknesses. He also threatens to fail Kuzco quite often. However, it was revealed in Kuzcogarten that Mr. Moleguaco found his class boring without Kuzco and gladly welcomes him back. His last name seems to be guacamole, having the first half placed after the second, a perfect example of aspoonerism. Even Kuzco himself has called him "Mr. Guacamole". Voiced by: Jason Earles One of the students who attend Kuzco academy, Guaca's name was not revealed until the episode Monster Masquerade. Although initially a background character, Guaca has made various appearances since the beginning, shouting his signature line, "Kuzco rules!" He eventually becomes friends with Kuzco and Malina, often acting as a loyal, but unappreciated sidekick to Kuzco. While he seems to deeply respect and idolize Kuzco, Guaca is usually the first member of the group to be abandoned or forgotten in the midst of a bad situation, which often acts as a running gag in the series. Guaca is a major fan of Kuzco, and in Season 2, he refers to him as "sir". It is revealed that Guaca already passed Kuzco Academy, but he says that he only stays in the school to spend time with Kuzco. During the credits in Graduation Groove, Kuzco hired Guaca as his spin doctor to tell everyone how great a job Kuzco is doing as emperor. Voiced by: Miley Cyrus Yata is first introduced as a friendly waitress that works at Mudka's Meat Hut #12. In "Working Girl" she is replaced by Malina, who proved to be much more efficient, but is rehired when Kuzco and Malina devise a plan to get Yata her job back. Outside of her job at Mudka's, Yata attends Kuzco Academy with the rest of the gang and is one of Malina's best friends. Although she expresses contempt for Kuzco's selfish nature, Yata is still a loyal friend, and is willing to help out when the situation demands it. She is a vegetarian and speaks with a Southern American accent. Voiced by: Rip Taylor The Royal Record Keeper is an annoying little man that keeps track of Kuzco's record in school and also reminds Kuzco of the limitations to his power that are in place until he graduates. Despite his tendency to turn up in strange places, the Royal Record Keeper always seems to be aware of the current situation in the episodes in which he appears.
