![]() However, she usually fails to pay attention to minor details, which results in her plans being thwarted. For example, one of her plans was to turn Kuzco into a flea and put him in a box and put that box in another box and mail it to herself and smash it with a hammer when it arrives but changes her mind in order to "save on postage" (when she could have just smashed Kuzco as soon as she turned him into a flea). When making plans to harm Kuzco, she often tries to create overly unnecessarily complicated plans before settling on a simpler version. In her youth, she appeared quite attractive, as shown when she turns into a teenager using the fountain of youth, but her age has since reduced that. The two old men who live in Pacha's village, as well as Kuzco himself even going so far as to call her "scary beyond all reason". She sees herself as the most beautiful person in the land, despite her obvious age, and others often compare her to an ugly dinosaur. It's also implied that her being the one who raised him is part of the reason for Kuzco's negative personality traits.Īt the same time, Yzma is rather comically eccentric. It is only when Kuzco abruptly and callously fires her that she turns on him, deciding to kill him, then fill the power vacuum left in his wake and become empress. However, early in the first movie, it seems that she raised Kuzco, rather than his parents, and has been an advisor and the chemist to his family for many years. But scenes of it were used in the Theatrical Trailer of the movie.Īs the main villain of the Emperor's New Groove franchise, Yzma is malicious, funny, silly, raspy, and power-hungry. "Perfect World (Yzma's Reprise)" was ultimately cut from the film, as it was believed to slow down the story. Dale Baer took over animation duties for Yzma.Īside from " Snuff Out the Light", Eartha Kitt also sang a reprise of opening number " Perfect World" this would have been performed by Yzma when she became Empress and was intended to show that she had not only stolen Kuzco's Empire and Palace, but also his theme song. Reputedly, animator Andreas Deja was furious at this change, thinking the idea for the new version of the film to be a step backward, and left not only the project but Burbank entirely, moving to Florida to animate Lilo for Lilo & Stitch. When Kingdom of the Sun eventually became The Emperor's New Groove, Yzma became a more comical character, and her motivation changed from vanity to lust for power and revenge. ![]() The climax involved Yzma summoning Supai to engulf the kingdom, but being killed by the sun itself, which Pacha lassoed and pulled down to Earth. ![]() Kronk was not in the story instead, Yzma's henchmen consist of a talking talisman named Hucua (voiced by Harvey Fierstein and animated by Nik Ranieri), and three mummies named Mick, Bowie, and Lemmy. She draws Pacha into her plan through blackmail (she witnessed the 'switch' of Manco and Pacha). Once famed for her beauty, the very old Yzma blamed her now hideous appearance on the sun, and planned to release the dark entity Supai to plunge the kingdom into eternal darkness in exchange for eternal youth (illustrated in the song, " Snuff Out the Light", which can be found on the The Emperor's New Groove soundtrack). Kingdom of the Sun's story was similar to that of Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper the Emperor (here, called Manco) switched places with Pacha (at this point, voiced by Owen Wilson), who, in this version, was physically identical to Manco. Her role in Kingdom of the Sun was similar in some ways to the final film she was still the villainess, and was a member of the royal court, but was a sorceress (rather than a mad scientist). Yzma was still voiced by Eartha Kitt, but at this point, was animated by Andreas Deja. Originally, The Emperor's New Groove was Kingdom Of The Sun, a film of a more serious nature, similar in scale to The Lion King.
