What's left behind the scenes

  • The girl scattering petals in front of Kuzco at the beginning of the film is Yzma's ward, from "The Emperor's New Groove 2: Kronk's New Groove".
  • To film the life of a South American resident, the film's creative team traveled to Peru in 1996 to capture the artistic and cultural treasures of the ancient Incas. During their ten-day trip, they visited landmarks such as the high-altitude city of Machu Picchu and the ancient city of Cusco. They also filmed pastures, steep mountain slopes, and huge stones using a military helicopter.
  • Producer Randy Fullmer admits that when Disney executives saw the first version, they disliked it so much that they issued an ultimatum – to redo it in two weeks or there would be no "Empire." The premiere, which took place on December 15th, has little in common with the first version. Roger Allers, who originally worked with Mark Dindal, was transferred to another animated project, and Dindal took the reins. The story was completely reworked into its current format, and the character who was supposed to be voiced by Owen Wilson was now voiced by John Goodman.
  • "The Emperor's New Groove" was originally titled "Children of the Sun," then "Kingdom of the Sun," then "Kingdom on the Sun." The initial story, when the project was announced, was based on the story of "The Prince and the Pauper" with a strong romantic subtext. David Spade was supposed to voice the imperial heir, who discovers he has a second "self" (Owen Wilson) in the form of an unassuming peasant.
  • The Russian dub lacks the voice-over monologue of Kuzco in the scene where Kronk carries him in a sack to drop him in the canal. In the original English dub, Kuzco speaks about himself as a victim and mockingly comments on Kronk's actions.
  • The girl scattering petals along the path before Kuzco at the beginning of the film is Yoli, Pernat's ward, from “The Emperor’s New Groove 2: Kronk’s New Groove.”
