Dustin's Blu-ray Review
The Emperor's New Groove  (2000)

The Film
3 Stars
An underrated and unexpectedly clever animated feature—one of Disney's best on the early 2000s—"The Emperor's New Groove" is hugely entertaining and full of honorable messages, each viewing revealing new, sneaky in-jokes and asides. Eartha Kitt is hilarious as the voice of villainess Yzma, and the hand-drawn animation is nothing less than inspired.
Blu-ray also includes "Kronk's New Groove!"

Blu-ray Picture/Sound
 A-/A-

The animation in Disney's "The Emperor's New Groove" is brighter and altogether more pleasing than that in "Lilo & Stitch" and "Atlantis: The Lost Empire," and for that it gets a slightly higher picture rating. This is an enormously colorful film and the high-definition presentation lives up to its every ability. There are few, if any, true complaints about the 5.1 audio, except to say that it isn't a top-tier example of demo material.

Blu-ray Features
No special features are included.

Bottom Line
Highly recommended.
