I have no clue. Give me a rundown.
It was originally intended to be somewhat of a Prince and the pauper story about an emperor and the llama herder that switched places due to looking similar plus Yzma was originally a vanity -induced sorceress that wanted to block out the sun by summoning the incan god of death, supai, because the sun giving her wrinkles and was trying to regain beauty.
Sounds alright but I don't think i would have enjoyed it as much as The Emperor's New Groove.
Probably not since Emperors New Groove is the greatest Disney movie.
no it would've sucked, that's why they stopped working on it
although that one song is catchy
No, it was a disjointed mess with Kitt being the only good part. Admittedly, Groove is also mess, but it works with it screwball comedy.
I doubt it.
No.

There used to be a small Cadre of lunatics/trolls insisting the original version was an unrealized masterpiece.
I prefer the version we got, Disney hadn't made anything quite like it before or since.
honestly, really scratched the Road to El Dorado-shaped hole I had as a child
Really scratched your hole, eh?
it did.
would you like to as well?
would've made El Dorado look even more like a ripoff
It was remade into Tangled.
Frying pan joke. First person narrator. Haircuts.
silly theory
No.
The story was convoluted and the ending a cop-out.
probably not better in terms of quality but there's a decent chance it would have done better at the box office, Disney might have been less willing to treat 2D animation like crap if they had had more than only 1 2D success* in the 6 film stretch between Emperor's New Groove and Home On The Range
*that being Lilo & Stitch
It probably wouldn't have been as funny, but would have been a solid disney classic if they actually managed to finish it without the entire debacle they caused. That Sweatbox documentary is a great look into how Disney is a fricking shitshow that lucked into most of their hits.
I'm going to assume that had something to do with them looking upon with other films (such as Pocahontas and Hunchback) that Kingdom of the Sun was trying to follow the same formula and would get less successful in box office and from critics. They wanted the film to push focus on comedy rather than another musical drama, so that it would've gotten some success in profit. They had hired Mark Dindal to add elements so that it's not all too complicated of a film to complete, but in the end, it was a literal disaster, which forced the film to get retooled into what became The Emperor's New Groove that we all know now.
that is good shit

Tell us more about this anon
>not a comedy
Yeah I think so
It would’ve been literally The Prince and the Pauper but in South America.
No. It would've been generic, albeit with good music. Groove is one of the funniest movies ever made.
Hard to say. What made Disney movies, at least the ones in the 90's, so great were the musical scores, improvement in animation technology, and overall spectacle. Plus we don't really know a lot about how the movie would have been in its final form. Emperors New Groove though is funny, quotable, and makes a great rewatch on occasion.
Honestly, I think people would've recognized that stapling a South American pre-Hispanic culture onto a Mark Twain story doesn't really do anything to enrich either.
It's unlikely it would have been more memorable, at any rate. Emperor's New Groove is pretty unforgettable the deeper you dig in.
It isn't that the Groove is any bad (never was, personally) since few now knew what it was before they started changing on what was a supposedly over ambitious project that Roger Allers pulled off, that just got shot down for being too much to handle and that it felt like a project that wasn't going to move forward on capturing interest to anyone who understands the concept.
Better? NO. Different? Definitely. Interesting? Yes.
