Kuzco (voice of David Spade) is the emperor of all he can see - and has an ego to match his kingdom. With him, everything is "Me, Me, Me." Unbeknownst to Kuzco, his once-trusted advisor, the wizened witch Yzma (Eartha Kitt), is planning to depose him by poisoning a drink. Instead of causing the emperor's death as planned, however, Yzma's potion turns him into a Llama. On all fours, he escapes from the clutches of Yzma's bumbling henchman, Kronk (Patrick Warburton), and joins forces with a kindly peasant, Pacha (John Goodman), who believes there is good in everyone - even the amazingly self-centered Kuzco. Together, these two work to restore Kuzco to his human body and his throne.
