What critics compared The Emperor's New Groove to
To the extent that this and other scenes remind me of anything, they recall some of the animated derring-do of The Emperor’s New Groove, Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, and The Incredibles.
The story follows a familiar template, combining elements of Blue Sky’s Robots and Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove : A character leaves home and discovers a larger world he knew nothing about, becomes involved in the lives of a cheerfully rowdy family of characters who face challenges the protagonist has never contemplated, and with their help overcomes the machinations of the villain scheming to take over everything.
While Disney may have played around with self-irony in the past (the woefully underappreciated The Emperor’s New Groove ), Tangled comes from a place unaccustomed to artificiality and spoofing.
Madagascar is their funniest endeavor yet, on par with Disney’s accidental, wacky success The Emperor’s New Groove.
