8 Kuzco says to his unfortunate possible brides, "Let's take a look-see. Hate your hair. Not likely. Yikes, yikes, yikes . . . and let me guess, you have a ________________."
Answer: great personality

Yes, cruelty is Kuzco's province. This scene is well before he gains any sense of humility. It seems to me that "she/he has a great personality" is one of the general public's catchphrases meaning "she/he is probably ugly," but I've never noticed this to truly be the case. Another way of putting it is, ugly people are just as prone to meanness as good-looking people - as Kuzco would probably say. No doubt he'd also add, "Good thing I'm good-looking. Hate to be ugly AND mean."
    Your options: [ speedy camel ] [ congenital disorder ] [ rich uncle ] [ great personality ]
  From Quiz: No Touchy, Noooo Touchy, No Touch!
9 Complete the following exchange of dialogue which occurs as Kuzco and Pacha are sailing out of control down a river, about to go over a raging waterfall. Kuzco: "Sharp rocks at the bottom?" Pacha: "Most likely." Kuzco: ____________
Answer: "Bring it on."

Kuzco's definitely got the look of a dead man walking when he mutters this phrase. Or is that "dead man floating"?

On a completely unrelated note, "Bring It On" is the name of a movie starring Eliza Dushku (Faith from the popular TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and Kirsten Dunst (of "Spiderman" fame).
    Your options: [ "Good thing I brought my hip-waders." ] [ "Bring it on." ] [ "Are you always this useless, or were you trying extra hard today?" ] [ "Pain and suffering . . . breakfast of champions." ]
  From Quiz: BOOM Baby!

13 What kind of animal does Yzma turn Kuzco into?
Answer: llama

In The Emperor's New Groove, Yzma decides to turn Kuzco into a llama after her attempt to poison him goes wrong. Interestingly, llamas were of great significance in the Inca Empire, which is the civilization the movie loosely draws inspiration from. Llamas were used for their wool, meat, and also served as transportation for the Incas, as they were easier to handle than horses in the rough terrain. In the movie, after Kuzco is transformed, he starts his journey back to the palace on foot, which is a nod to the importance of llamas in Inca culture. Additionally, llamas were seen as sacred animals and were often used in rituals, further emphasizing their significance. Overall, the decision to transform Kuzco into a llama not only provided comedic relief for the movie, but also added cultural depth to the story.

15 Why did Kuzco want Pacha's land?
Answer: Kuzco wanted to build Kuzcotopia.

Pacha was voiced by John Goodman. As leader of the village, Pacha was summoned to see Kuzco at the kingdom. Pacha was told that his village, including his house, would be destroyed so that Kuzco could build Kuzcotopia. Pacha couldn't believe Kuzco would do something like that since the village grew the crops that were eaten at the palace and trained the llamas that the palace used.

Answer: Inca Empire

The Theme Song Guy first gives a clue when singing the theme song. He says, referring to Kuzco, "An enigma and a mystery in Mesoamerican history, the quintessence of perfection that is he." A few more subtle clues appear in the movie. Kuzco was named after the Incan capital, Cuzco, and Pacha's wife, Chicha, is a ceremonial Incan drink.

25 Kronk, straining his mental capacity, utters this tidbit: "Ohhh right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen specially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison . . . ___________"
Answer: That poison?

There have been quite a few sidekicks in quite a few different movies over the years, but few have been as lovable or as developmentally thwarted as Kronk. Of course, it turned out that it wasn't even poison anyway. Exactly where does extract of llama come from, I wonder? I bet I don't wanna know.
    Your options: [ Poison is so . . . impersonal. ] [ That poison? ] [ What poison? ] [ Oops. I think I mixed it in your tea there, Yzma. ]

  From Quiz: Groovy 'The Emperor's New Groove'
28 Kuzco wants to destroy Pacha's village so that he can build what?
Answer: a summer house with a swimming pool

In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco's selfish desires drive him to want to destroy Pacha's village in order to build a summer house complete with a swimming pool. This displays Kuzco's lack of empathy and disregard for the lives of others as he is willing to displace an entire community for his personal gain. Interestingly, this desire for a luxurious summer house aligns with Kuzco's overall theme of prioritizing his own desires over the needs of others. This aspect of Kuzco's characterization emphasizes the lessons he must learn in order to become a more empathetic and caring ruler. Additionally, this conflict between Kuzco and Pacha highlights the difference between their priorities and values, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other.

30 With Yzma trying to kill Kuzco so she could have the kingdom, she used a potion that didn't kill him, but turned Kuzco into what animal
Answer: Llama

Kronk mixed up the cup that had Kuzco's death potion in it so he poured all three of them a drink out of the same cup. When it came time to drink, Kronk made sure that Yzma didn't drink the potion laced drink. When Kuzco drank the drink, he passed out and when he came back to consciousness he slowly turned into a llama. Kronk had chosen a bottle that had a messed up label so the label looked like a skull and crossbones when in reality it was a llama.
    Your options: [ Kitten ] [ Whale ] [ Turtle ] [ Llama ]
  From Quiz: The Emperor's New Groove
31 Pacha's kids are arguing quite memorably at one point in the movie. Who's right?

They were arguing about whether or not Pacha would ever kiss a llama. Clearly, Chaca was right since he did kiss Kuzco, but it was mouth to mouth resuscitation, or as Kuzco calls it, a "kiss of life".

32 What does Yzma say when she knocks over her cup of coffee in Pacha's house?

33 What animal is on the wall during the dinner scene other than a fish?
Answer: Lobster

If you are really into this movie, it can be a lot of fun to watch it again, except instead of looking where you normally do, look at the big picture. Notice the scenery. If two characters are talking, look at the one you don't normally look at, and you can find some things that you've never seen before. My favorite expression in the whole movie is Misty's expression when she and Pacha leave the palace and he rubs her head. You can only see it for a second, but it's hilarious.
  From Quiz: "The Emperor's New Groove" for the Obsessed II
34 Just how far is it from the bridge to the palace (with and without the bridge)?

39 Pacha's son says this to his mother: "I had a dream that Dad was tied to a log and was careening out of control down a raging _____________"
Answer: rither of death!

The kid did actually say "rither", not "river". A clever allusion to the tendency of small children to occasionally slur their words when speaking rapidly. In the subtitles it claims that he says "river of death", but you don't have to be listening particularly close to hear him make a "th" sound instead of a "v".
    Your options: [ rumbling rampaging ruckus of water! ] [ rither of death! ] [ roiling ravaging ruinous RIVER! ] [ rafter's nightmare! ]
  From Quiz: BOOM Baby!
40 Besides a piece of cake, what does Kronk carry out of the restaurant?
Answer: a pretend llama

He is carrying a little stuffed llama. I don't know where it came from, but it's there. No, wait, thinking back, I do know where it came from. There was one on Kuzco and Pacha's table.
