Hey guys, today I'm going to introduce a little collection of posts called, "The Artists Behind the Groove". But what it is "The Artists Behind the Groove?" Well it's, as said above, a collection of posts that I'm going to publish with the intention of collecting and showing, in a respectful way, the work of several artists that worked on the "Kingdom of/in the Sun" and "The Emperor's New Groove" and that decided to post some of their work online. I hope you find this useful in some way, I per example, as an artist, Have taken some inspiration from their work and someday I hope I can reach their level of skill. And that's it! Hope you have a wonderfull rest of day! Edit: I recently found a blog that did exacly what I'm planning to do, but instead of meantioning them one by one, they just posted everything in one page, with occasional credit. Here it is if you are interested;  http://livlily.blogspot.pt/2010/10/empe...

Good Evening, I found this animation error a while ago, and I haven't seen many poeple mentioning it. This simple mistake happens between scenes, when Yzma bends the fork out of rage because of that, Kronk kindly asks Pacha if he has a spare one. Of course, all animation is vulnerable to errors like this one, since producing a movie is an extensive work that envolves a lot of poeple and hard work, but as a fan, it's always fun to find them. Have a groovy day!

Here is the vimeo link (It will open on a new window);  https://vimeo.com/92357145 Also here is the mp3 download link;  https://drive.google.com/open?id=12vVa8197ncxNEr1jjxmbRunfzIL3TArm Casca (Please let me know if you find any kind of syntax, grammatical or spelling mistake via my email (written  in  the "About me" tab) I would very much appreciate your help and kindness)

The "Emperor's new Groove" story-line its something really complicated, and you might be asking yourself,  "How is it complicated? There is clearly a second movie and a show" but, that's exacly the problem, you see, the three of them fail to connect in a continuous line, imagine having 3 pieces of a puzzle...let's call them: A, B and C, both B and C can connect with A, but, it's impossible to connect, B and C at the same time, meaning that you can only have one connection with A at a time. This is exacly how this story-line works, which can complicate things up since we now have to decide which piece  is more suitable to be connected with A. If we were to order them by date of release it would look like this; I'm aware that the plot of the show is different because the writers knew that a lot of people (specially children) whould be watching it without knowing about the original movie, "The Emperors new Goove", although t...
