Ack! I haven’t posted anything in over a month! Seriously lacking here. We did get back from vacation recently, so that post will be coming as soon as I get through the pictures. But in the meantime, I decided I needed to get something posted. I’ve been going through DVDs recently and I watched what has to be one of my favorite Disney cartoon movies - The Emperor’s New Groove. I can watch that one over and over. The animation is nothing special, but it’s has to be one of the funniest Disney movies.
It didn’t start out that way. It was supposed to be a big time musical/drama/comedy typical Disney production. They even had Sting write six different songs for the production. All of it was scrapped when things weren’t going they way they wanted with test audiences. With a brief extension of time they completely re-worked the plot so we have what we have today. Knowing all of that, it makes it even more amazing that I consider it to be so funny. The voice acting is perfect for the comedy and it is very well written.
So with that, I leave you with the following fine snippets from the movie:
“Why do we even have that lever?”
“I’ll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, and then I’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives… I’ll smash it with a hammer!”
“Um, what’s with the chimp and the bug? Can we get back to *me*?”
“What are the odds of that trap door leading me out here?”
“Don’t listen to that guy. He’s trying to lead you down the path of righteousness. I’m gonna lead you down the path that rocks!.”
“Oh, look. A golden-throated small-winged warbler. Just one more for exotic bird bingo. I am loving this.”
“Squeak, squeakin’, squeak, squeakity.”
“Don’t tell me. We’re about to go over a huge waterfall… Sharp rocks at the bottom? Bring it on.”
“I’m telling you, we did not order a trampoline!”
“I’m sorry, but you’ve thrown off the Emperor’s groove.”
