      norriskeel still funny after all these years my step son actually sat through the whole thing amazing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/22 Full Review Daniel S Disney has once again delivered a HILARIOUS HILARIOUS HILARIOUS HILARIOUS (how many hilarious is that? 4?...not enough) HILARIOUS HILARIOUS HILARIOUS (you get the point) movie. Imagine this. 2 buddies and I step into a nearby video store and begin debating the LATEST releases. Scary movie? No. Slasher film? No. Drama? No. And so on. Eventually, as if by destiny, we find ourselves in the Disney/Children section of the store. Someone suggests "Emperor's New Groove". The others immediately concur... and we were not disappointed. David Spade shines as the voice of the Emperor in this film. His wit was certainly evident throughout the entire movie. Speaking of the humor... it was amusing. Ha, ha. Am I not a joker? But seriously, I must say that this is the most amusing Disney film I've ever watched... and it's definitely due to the cast... who excelled in all their roles. There was quite a bit of adult humor in this one though. Nothing crude or sexually explicit or anything, but rather mature... clever... making it a fantastic watch. If you haven't watched this yet, then I recommend that you do... and soon. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Alguien LA VERDAD NO SE ME HACE UN PELICULON SE ME HACE ENTRETENIDA PERO NO LA GRAN COSA TAL VEZ POR QUE ME GUSTAN MAS OTRAS PELIS DE DISNEY Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Leandro T really funny Disney movie. this was probably the most I've ever laughed at a Disney movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Paulo Roberto P Impecável, a dublagem brasileira renova o filme, recomendo!

      Nell Minow Common Sense Media More fun, goofy cartoon antics than Disney polish. Rated: 4/5 Aug 3, 2010 Full Review Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader Ingenious action sequences driven by surprisingly little plot lead to a climax full of the transmogrification animation was invented for. Nov 16, 2009 Full Review Richard Corliss TIME Magazine Emperor doesn't aim too high or strain too hard; it is at ease inhabiting its pretty, miniature realm. Sep 8, 2008 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine The Emperor’s New Groove is fast-paced, furiously amusing, and genuinely unlike any other Disney feature ever made. Rated: 8/10 Jan 13, 2024 Full Review Zita Short InSession Film It’s one of those near-flawless masterpieces that makes you wonder why every troubled production doesn’t result in a sensational finished product. Feb 1, 2023 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn The narrative of The Emperor’s New Groove might be cliched but the style drags the film to much more memorable heights.
