scurviesdisneyblog:In the early days of production, Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove was titled Kingdom Of The Sun and the story was to be about a self-centered emperor named Manco who switches places with a lowly peasant in order to spice up his boring life. Meanwhile, the emperor’s wicked advisor Yzma (a sorceress) longs to snuff out the sun and plunge the world into everlasting darkness. When Yzma discovers the switcheroo that Manco has performed, she turns the emperor into a llama, casts him out of the kingdom, and threatens to reveal the imposter’s identity unless he obeys her commands. Manco eventually befriends a female llama-herder named Mata, and the two set off to stop Yzma’s evil plans. Concept art by John Watkiss (x) -- source link
