[edit] Synopsis
Emperor Kuzco, a young and self-absorbed ruler of his kingdom, decides to give himself the ultimate birthday gift, which will also destroy Pacha's, a llama herder, home in the process. Yzma, the Emperor's elderly advisor, and her muscle, Kronk, decide to do away with Kuzco, but turn him into a llama by mistake.
