The Emperor's New Groove
Summary
-Emperor Kuzco is a vain, cocky man who thinks the world revolves around him. He fires his suspicious administrator Yzma and is also planning on opening a waterpark just for himself for his birthday. But this means destroying a village. Yzma, however plans on getting revenge and she does. She wants him dead so she can ascend to the throne. But in a botched assassination, her assistant Kronk does not kill the emperor, but instead mistakes a death potion for a potion that turns the emperor into a llama, thus keeping him alive. He runs into a local llama herder named Pacha. He and Pacha make a deal- he will help Kuzco get back to his palace if he moves his water park somewhere else, because Pacha's home is ground zero for the new park
