Really well-researched and entertainingly presented story about one of my favorite films that I worked on at Disney! I can say, that, "yes, for the most part, this all happened as told"! On a personal note, without this film, I would not have had the pleasure and honor of creating the character Kronk! For that, I will be forever grateful to Mark Dindal and Randy Fullmer. Thanks for a great show everyone!

@ItWasAShtShow 2 года назад

You were the supervising animator on Kronk?! Incredible! I'd love to pick your brain about all of this. Would you be interesting in chatting with us? And thanks for the kind words!

@jergarmar Год назад

I feel like New Groove was the Disney movie from an alternative timeline, from a universe where Disney (and animation in general) didn't have these incredibly dominant "studio brand image" expectations. This movie doesn't necessarily fit into the established Disney pantheon... but maybe it could have? That is, maybe we can imagine a world where Disney is smaller, maybe sees itself as a promoter of traditional animation, has more creative freedom, and helps realize unique, quirky, witty, and off-beat animation projects like this one. So the point is, this is the film that I most want to hear from those who worked on it. Thanks for posting! Every so often there's a tiny little ghost who speaks up in my heart, "maybe you could help make such a fun thing come into being!" Sounds like an amazing experience.

@maxis2k 2 года назад

"Disney didn't know how to market the film." Oh they knew. They had just given up on 2D animation before the movie even came out. Both Eisner and Katzenberg had gone all in on live action and 3D animation. Which they cannibalized all their 2D films. I mean, they didn't even give the 2D films a chance. Giving them 5-10x less marketing. The low box office numbers is because of a lack of studio support. When they put more marketing behind movies like Antz and Bug's Life over Prince of Egypt and Lilo and Stitch...yeah. The fix was in.

@teawithleia 2 года назад

This absolutely a valid point, but Antz and The Prince of Egypt weren't Disney productions

@PollenEye 2 года назад

This is why it's frustrating when people say 2D American movies are dead because viewers lost interest. No, it's because the studios kept mishandling their films and animators because "CGI is the hot thing!!!" One of the reasons anime has become so popular is because it's able to scratch that 2D itch that most western animation hasn't been able to do in a long time. It looks like we're finding creative ways to incorporate traditional with CG in recent movies tho (Spiderverse and Bad Guys) and maybe that's how 2D movies will eventually make their comeback.

@@PollenEye Anime also fills multiple genre and demographic holes Hollywood gave up on. It's not just that anime is unique and foreign. But anime is producing shows with themes and tone like Hollywood used to in the 1980s and 1990s. You can find an anime that's similar to Batman: TAS or X-Men or Garfield. But you can't find any modern Hollywood shows that do that.

it’s crazy how disney keeps on ruining animators creatives process, due to money and time frames (which are valid, reorganizing and pushing stuff back and really hender the company) but it doesn’t help when you are a ANIMATION COMPANY and you get your money from making good films. i love this movie because this movie (and the road to el dorado) was the only movie that had any peruvian/bolivian representation!! it’s sad that the original director was going for that and disney just threw that all away. the incan culture has soo many fables and such great tails. i’m surprised disney nor pixar haven’t jumped on it yet! such great tales and stories could be told! definitely would’ve loved more peruvian/bolivian tunes in the movie.

@tripleg2513 2 года назад

As interesting as Kingdom of the Sun sounds, I do believe they made the right decision in the end. The movie seems to be sugar coated a little bit with what might have been almost every time it's talked about. In reality, when really looking at it, it was a mess of story lines that didn't have enough to do with each other. Pacha and Manko wouldn't have much anything to do with each other after the beginning, Manko and his love interest not only wouldn't have been able to go much of anywhere as long as he was a llama, but also would have been almost completely disconnected from the rest of the film. Manco and Pacha would somehow have to get together again at some point and figure out how to turn him back which is another thing to juggle. Yzma, as much as I love the song, had no clear goal. She wanted to be young again but also wanted to raise a demon to destroy the sun, which is fine as long as they connect to each other but it seems they never really did. And finally, you would have to have Pacha connect to Yzma in some important way to drive the plot to the point of him lassoing the demon, not to mention his love interest and how she would fit into all of this. There's just too much and not enough time. There are 6 plot lines here: Pacha and Manco with the llama thing, Manco's love story, Pacha being the emperor, Pachas love story, Yzma wanting to reclaim her youth and beauty, and Yzma wanting to raise the dead and destroy the sun. There's just not enough to connect all these plots and keep the movie consistent. To make this work, I believe some serious stuff would need to change. Yzma would have to have her only purpose be revenge on the sun even though it wouldn't bring her youth back. Manco's love story just needs to be scrapped and replaced with him being in the palace to see how things run better without him (or something similar to improve him as a person) and to learn about Yzma's plans. He would need to try to warn Pacha about it which would mean needing to be human again. If we had Pacha figure out the llama was Manco they could figure out how to change him back and then Manco (now being able to speak again) could warn about Yzma. Pacha would then have to prepare to fight Yzma and lasso the demon and so on and so forth. Pacha's love story might still be able to fit but it would take a lot to make it work. This is just an idea and it might still be too much for one film, comment any other versions you think might work better. As long as Yzma gets her song back, I'm happy.

And they could have worked with "The sunrise kingdom" if they had committed to it.

The night I saw Emperors New Groove in the theatre has become an indelible memory for me. It’s a long story, but the short version was that I was at the mall with friends in college. We wanted to go see a movie since the good theatre was at the mall. The majority voted for ENG, I reluctantly went with them with the thought, ugh another Disney movie, with princesses and singing like the movies my little sister liked. I came out a fan. It’s easily number one in my top ten animated films. And it has remained there for 20 plus years.

To be honest, I feel they did both in one fell swoop. Now we need to make a movie where Anne Frank falls in love with Hitler

Here I thought this was going to be about the later Disney channel Emperor's New Groove TV show. Thanks for a great video!

BOOOOOM, baby! These folks made an absolute classic. Movies that go through this sort of a ridiculous creative process seem to resonate because effort and necessity translate well to dialogue and drama.
