The Emperor's New Groove/Headscratchers


  • Does The Emperor's New Groove take place in a Flintstone-like anachronistic past, or does it take place in a village of present-day Native Mexicans?
    • The Inca empire exists, so definitely the past.
      • I believe the Word of God from the director is that, as the film says at the beginning, it takes place Long Ago In The Jungle. Any more then that, and you're overthinking it.
        • Native Mexicans? The Incas are from Peru, which is 4000 kilometers away from Mexico.
        • I thought the movie made it clear that it was set in the Incan Empire before the Conquistadors arrived.
          • I think the Bob's Big Boy-esque resturant might be what's throwing them off. I just think everyone should remember that it's just an animated movie, though.
