The series is the sequel to the Disney classic movie The Emperor's New Groove and takes place in the Kuzco Academy, located in the Inca domains.
Plot[]
Kuzco, the Inca Emperor, once embard on a grand adventure that seemed to change his perception of peasants and instill some humility in him. However, upon regaining his title, he reverted to his careless ways of ruling. As a result, he is sent to Kuzco Academy to repeat high school since he is still a teenager. Forced to leave The Royal Palace, Kuzco is welcome into the Humble Home of Pacha and His Family. Kuzco must now pass a series of school tests focusing on humility, honesty, and generoity before he can reclaim his throne. Throughout this journey, he receives support from Malina, a smart and attractive A+ student, who is also his crush. Meanwhile, Yzma, disguised as Principal Amzy, does everthing in her power to ensure Kuzco fails, so she cane take over the kingdom herself. Yzma enlists the help of Kronk, who is also a student at Kuzco Academy. Despite his loyalty to Yzma, Kronk develops a genuine friendship with Kuzco. As Kuzco, Malina, and Kronk navigate through a series of incredible schoo situations, Kuzco learns valuable lessons about being a good Person. Ultimately, he discovers the true emperor within himself, and prepares to rule with newfound wisdom and compassion.
Characters[]
- see: Characters
- Kuzco (voiced by J. P. Manoux) - Kuzco is the ex-emperor of the Incas, who was sent back to high school to learn how to govern better. He has a not-so-secret crush on Malina, and she always helps him when he gets in trouble. He's arrogant, vain, and selfish, but eventually turns into a good person, after learning precious school lessons and also the friendship value.
- Malina (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) - Malina is an A+ student, the top grader on K. A., and, according to Kuzco, a "hotty hot hotty". Kuzco has a crush on her, which he openly shows. Malina always helps Kuzco go the right way on School tests, as his friend. She's also extremely competitive and never accepts a low grade (actually, she never had one, being a straight-A student).
- Yzma/Principal Amzy (voiced by Eartha Kitt) - Yzma is, overall, Kuzco's nemesis. Since she was once his advisor, she would become empress without Kuzco on the way. Thinking like this, Yzma, the mad scientist, makes a series of attempts to cause Kuzco to fail and not be able to become emperor. Yzma may be evil, but she's funny and her plans sometimes sound ridiculous.
- Kronk (voiced by Patrick Warburton) - Kronk is Yzma's right-hand man. Since he studies at Kuzco Academy, he's always helpful when Yzma wants to get on Kuzco less directly. Kronk is very smart and appreciates his regular "B" notes, but he's a bit clumsy and sometimes a big headache over Yzma's ideas. However, Kronk always puts effort into whatever he does and has his heart in the right place.

Setting[]
The Emperor's New School is placed after The Emperor's New Groove, but its setting related to Kronk's New Groove is unknown. Probably they're two different sequels since there weren't plans for a TV series when Kronk's New Groove started to be developed. The facts that suggest The Emperor's New School to be placed after The Emperor's New Groove are:
- At the beginning of the movie, Kuzco trusts Yzma's loyalty, but in the series, he already knows that she's evil.
- In the movie, Kuzco never mentions Malina, although he constantly offers her to be his empress in the series.
- In the movie, Kuzco and Pacha get to know each other best, but they already know each other in the series.
- In the movie, Chicha is pregnant most of the time, but in the series, Yupi is born already.
Theme song[]
The original theme song for The Emperor's New School is named Kuzco Academy.
Lyrics[]
He's on his way to the throne, he's on his way to success.
But he has to go to school, he has to ace that test!
He's an emperor to be and he's totally
Kuzco: You know, it's all about me.
Guards: Exactly!
He's goin' to Kuzco Academy.
He's got to learn his ABC!
Don't try to stop him, To top him.
Yzma: To destroy him right?
Kronk: Uhhhh...
K-U-Z-C-O! Kuzco! Kuzco! Let's, Go!
He's got the cool. He's got the charm and the looks.
And the hottie that can help him read those things called books!
He's going to Kuzco Academy. (Come on, Kuzco)
Got to fulfill his destiny.
His friends are loyal. It's royal. They'll help against the foil.
Kuzco: Friends? I thought this was all about me. Haha, spell my name again!
K-U-Z-C-O! Kuzco! Kuzco! Let's Go!
