    Just from the song "Snuff Out The Light", I can tell that Kingdom of the Sun probably would have been a fantastic movie, and I would love to see what would have happened to have they not changed direction and tone.
    But I would never trade The Emperor's New Groove for that movie because The Emperor's New Groove is great. It's literally an unsung classic that's overlooked by many.

      I have to disagree. The song is catchy but in the new groove she doesn't care much of her age or looks and still considers herself beautiful. Putting it in the film would appear as if it came out of nowhere. It would have taken away from what makes new groove work. If you wanna rework the song to be about getting the respect and power she deserves that's great. Keep the initial motives and you ruin new Yzma.

    When you look at 'Snuff out the Light' you can probably see why Disney changed the plot. Especially when you apply Incan society and religion to it. 'Snuff out the light' is a really; really dark song.
    - First thing you need to know to understand the song. Incan religion was polytheistic [many gods] but there was a 'Supreme God' above all others. You could worship whichever spirits and gods you wanted, as long as you worshipped Inti above all others. For example; temples had to have their biggest idol be that of Inti. They could have whatever other gods they wanted in there, but no idol should be larger than Inti. Who is Inti? *The Sun God* . And yes; this means the Incan religion was literally 'Praise the Sun'.
    - So; 'Snuff out the light' quickly turns into 'Kill God'. Also; Yzma blameing the sun for her ageing? Not so much. She's blameing God.
    - Then you have the line 'Supay Baby turn me on'. Aside from that being a line that... yeah. Supay. He's the Incan god of the Underworld and Death! Incan Hades! He's also the god of daemons. So actually; upgrade him to Chernabog basically. Also; the rest of that verse basically says Supay has made a deal with Yzma to give her immortality and eternal youth in exchange for 'snuffing out the light'. Also; with the supreme god being a god of light; well... a god of darkness and the underworld is basically satan.
    - Also there's things like Yzma calling for 'Neophytes' which is a very culty term, calling for literal demons and devils... yeah.

      In Princess and the Frog the villain could actually summon demons in it and despite them being portrayed as bad, a bunch of Evangelical soccer moms thought the movie should be rated R because of this. Of course the majority of people outside that vocal minority realized there was nothing wrong with the movie.
      That said, I'm not aware if this old religion is still active in Peru, if it is, I could see Peruvians having a problem with it, if hardly any believe in it anymore and just treat it as mythology it would be fine though.
      As for the rest of the world, since it's a religion that's not really prevalent anywhere else, it would just come off as mythology to them and a lot probably wouldn't properly understand the gods either so in the end, it would have been fine everywhere else and totally fine if it's a mostly dead religion in Peru.

    I believe Kingdom Of The Sun deserves a second chance. While I'll always have a soft spot for Emperor's New Groove, the Peruvian theme was handled much better in the original story and I like, in traditional Disney fashion, they were going to take a classic story and make it their own. While I know for a fact they'll never release the 20% completed footage I think Disney is sitting on a possible culturally interesting story that could possibly be in the same league as Coco or Black Panther. All they need is to work in more authentic Peruvian culture and themes into the story, change a few things in the story itself so it's easier to grasp for a wide audience and it could possibly work as a stage musical. Although some people have said that it should be the Disney Live Action Remake for Emperor's New Groove, however, I think that could backfire if people don't know the history. I do see their point of view though since that original story would fit better in Live Action than Emperor's New Groove would.

    I hope a modified version of Kingdom of the Sun is eventually revived as a prequel to The Emperor's New Groove. Manco could be renamed something other than Kuzco and could be Kuzco's great-grandfather and High Priestess Izma could be renamed something like Oozma/Uzma and be Izma's great aunt or some other more distant relative. Of course, certain other things would have to be changed so Kingdom of the Sun wouldn't be too much like The Emperor's New Groove. Perhaps Manco could start out as a llama, but then turn into other llama-like animals like an alpaca or maybe have the potion wear off after a few scenes. Also, Manco's personality would have to be distinct from Kuzco's. He could still be a bit of a self-absorbed brat, but perhaps that could be a front to cover insecurity.

This would also give more background and subtext to why Azma and Izma were so power-hungry if it happened further back in the past like 100-150 years before The Emperor's New Groove.

    I remember being six years old sitting in the cinema and watching this film. This was the first film I, along with my family, watched when we came to the United States. Since reading the Vulture article about Kingdom of the Sun and the documentary Sweatbox, I have thought what if in front of me that day at the cinema was a completely different film? One that was slated to become the Peruvian Lion King? I would have seen my culture represented as a young, Peruvian immigrant and this film (Kingdom) would have undoubtedly become my favorite Disney film. That, to me, is invaluable. While I love Emperor, there's just no comparing the caliber of the film it could have been. Why did they scrap it if it could have been BOTH a comedy and romance with the Prince and the Pauper plot still in tact? You had the classic Disney villain trope and honestly I would have loved to see the alternate sidekick because he's also a symbol of Incan culture. I love Allers because he fell in love with Peruvian culture and actually traveled all the way there. It is my belief that Disney should focus not only on something that's marketable, but to tell a story of culture while entertaining and audience. As Allers said, why not have both? I appreciate Allers and Sting, and hearing "My Funny Friend and Me" has a whole different and bittersweet meaning to me.

    I watched the Sweatbox last night and it was a fascinating film. As an artist and animation fan it was tough watching Roger Allen, Sting, and the rest of the crew screwed over by Thomas Schumacker and Peter Schneider, the execs, after developing this film for 3 years. Personally, I think that the executives were mildly annoying as they came off as more business-focused rather than taking into the craft behind the movie. But they didn't look as harsh as everyone said, just different in thought and mildly annoying, mostly when examining Schumacker. Schneider seemed to be the "good cop" who delivered his opinions in a more respectful tone. A lot of what they said and what the animation crew said provided good lessons for artists who are planning to work in any industry from Graphic Design to Animation. I think seeing how the movie concept evolved from the way it started to the movie we all love today is amazing. I only think if they wanted to show a bit of the Incan culture like they originally planned for Kingdom of The Sun, they could have by incorporating a little bit more of the cultural norms in some small scenes throughout the movie without taking away from The Emperor's New Groove. It would have been more respectful to Allen and the people of Peru, especially since he and the others already spent so much time researching the Peruvian culture. Oh well.

Kingdom of the Sun almost sounds like a complicated mess that would be saved by the animation and vocal performances. Plus New Groove Yzma is a heck of a lot more 3 dimensional. Kingdom of the Sun Yzma only seems to be vain, crazy and egotistical. While on brand for Yzma, the comedy of New Groove forces her to react and adapt.

    They really could rework Yzmas pursuit of the sun into a spinoff movie. More focused on her rerouting her objectives after failing to become Empress. & Include Kuzco, Kronk, & Pacha in the movie. But also play on the Older Woman competing with younger women theme by use of Kuzcos girly friend from his series & Yzma having some beautiful women- sorceress slaves, where some of those slave revolt against her to stop Her & Free themselves.

    I completely agree, I would love them to try this older concept out instead of mass producing these bleh live action films. However, considering they barely do 2D anymore, something tells me they would end up over working the concept/visuals transforming it into a new 3D form. It feels like nowadays all the 3D movies look like similar character types.

My guess that even the original movie probably would be a bit disappointing to me. So maybe it was for the best. I imagined Supay (not Supai) to look more interesting if THAT'S how he looks @4:07 🙄😑 No thank you.
    7:33 Japanese VS Spanish meanings yet again! Mahnco (not MAYnco) Spanish does not have the HIDEOUS long vowel sounds. I'm glad that they changed it to Kuzco. It should be spelled "CUZCO" but whatever. Fun fact, Moko is cute common female name in Japanese, in Spanish (moco) it means, "booger."🤣 Manga means "sleeve" in Spanish and in Japanese...well you already know what it means! 😂
    This video made me less resent Emperor's New Groove. Which I honestly LOVE so it was a weird conflicted feeling.
    Other videos on this topic of KotS made it seem like the studio didn't want to compete with DreamWorks' The Road to El Dorado which I always found unsatisfying to hear of WHY it was scrapped.
    This video cleared it up and explained better than the other videos on the scrapped film so, thank you. 😊💜

The original seem to have expanded that idea a lot more into the story which gives us as audience more of an idea what the culture of peru is/was like. I can’t say that the emperor’s new grove did that, and that’s because most people I have told about where it takes place they have no idea.

      One of the characters from the show was Varian, a teenage alchemist and an ally turned enemy and then friend of Rapunzel's. He was voiced by Broadway actor, Jeremy Jordan. Two of the artists/writers on the show planned a spin-off for him called "Varian and the 7 Kingdoms" focusing on him finding his long-lost mother and a secret library of Lord Demanitus. He makes a few friends and enemies along the way, and goes through his own coming of age journey.
      Despite its popularity in the Tangled fandom, the story has never been made into a TV show as the Disney Channel people didn't think the show would be popular enough without Rapunzel in it and asked that they change the main character. The creators refused and the story was scrapped.
