The Emperor's New Groove trivia picture

Trivia: When Kronk tells Yzma that he mixed the llama potion into the three cups, she tosses her drink into the cactus on her left. While Kuzco is transforming and the shot switches back to Yzma, you can see that the cactus is now llama-shaped.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Pacha and Kuzco are drying off after they fall over the waterfall, the slot for the wearer's head in the center of Pacha's poncho is clearly visible when Kuzco takes it and uses it to dry himself off. Following the shot change between when Kuzco throws it and when it lands on the fire Pacha is trying to light, the poncho becomes just a solid green square towel with no hole for the wearer to put his head through, which is easy to see when Pacha hangs it backup on another tree.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Pacha and Kuzco are hiding in a little room in the restaurant, the door next to them is closed. In the next shot, it's open.

Suggested correction: The door does not open "in the next shot." It's actually three shots later. When it cuts back to Pacha and Kuzco (second screenshot), Kuzco tells Pacha, "In a minute. I'm still hungry." So, while off-screen, Kuzco opened the door to leave the room and make an order.

Continuity mistake: Kronk cuts the rope holding the chandelier with the dagger, leaving a cut piece of rope next to him. The chandelier falls towards Yzma, then she pulls a lever which opens a trapdoor below Kronk, and the cut piece of rope is now a lot shorter than it was when he cut it. (01:03:58)

Other mistake: Right before Kronk leaves Pacha's house, Chaca's hair has a green stick on the left and a red stick on the right. However, every other time Chaca is on screen, these colours are the other way around. (01:00:29)

Continuity mistake: When Yzma and Kronk are in Pacha's house, Yzma knocks her cup of tea off the table, then Chicha picks it up and sets it next to the teapot on the table. Three shots later, the cup has vanished from the table. (00:58:15)

Continuity mistake: When Kronk is disposing of the llama body, he runs down a very tall staircase. At the bottom, he runs into two peasants and leans up against the wall. The peasants pass him, walking toward the left side of the screen. Immediately after they disappear from the screen, the "camera" zooms out so you can see the entire palace. Now, the only place the peasants could have gone was up the staircase Kronk had just come down from, unless they wanted to fall off a cliff. If you look on the stairs, though, no one is there. The peasants couldn't have made it all the way up the extremely tall and steep staircase within seconds, so they just mysteriously disappeared.
