Emperor's New School

This show is now off air.

Based on the Walt Disney Pictures' popular theatrical release "The Emperor's New Groove," Disney's "The Emperor's New School" is an original animated comedy-adventure series about a would-be emperor, Kuzco, who must graduate school before he can claim the throne and become the official emperor.

The series features irreverent comedy and physical humor as well as a focus on family and friendship. After Kuzco ends up in school he must learn to rely on himself and those around him in order to pass all his classes.

Kuzco is a self-centred and spoiled teen whose motto is "it's all about me." He has celebrated a birthday that should mark him officially becoming emperor, but there's one little problem - his trust fund specifies that he must graduate from Kuzco Academy in order to receive the riches and claim the throne.

In the meantime, Kuzco has been banished from his royal palace and forced to live with commoner Pacha, his wife Chicha and their children Tipo, Chaca and Cuti. Pacha's lifestyle is very different from what Kuzco is accustomed to and despite their sometimes turbulent relationship, Pacha is like a father to Kuzco.

Malina, Kuzco's supportive friend, is the only one really able to keep his attitude in check. She's good at everything and Kuzco has a huge crush on her.

Kuzco's nemesis, Yzma, has disguised herself as the Principal of Kuzco academy, Principal Amzy, in order to execute her master plan - making sure that Kuzco doesn't graduate so that she can become emperor. She has also planted her dimwitted sidekick Kronk in school as a fellow classmate and friend to Kuzco to help her pull off her schemes.
