Plot

Kronk (Patrick Warburton), now chef and Head Delivery Boy of Mudka's Meat Hut, is fretting over the upcoming visit of his father. Kronk's father always disapproved of young Kronk's culinary interests and wished that Kronk instead would settle down with a wife and a large house on a hill. Kronk Pepikrankenitz is a fictional character from the Disney animated feature The Emperors New Groove. ... Patrick J. Warburton (born November 14, 1964) is an American television actor and voice artist. ...

In a flashback, Kronk tells the story of how he almost had both of these. As unwitting accomplice to Yzma's (Eartha Kitt) (a villainess who turned into a cat in the first movie, but is now human again despite still having a tail) plan to sell snake oil as a youth potion, he makes enough money to buy the old folks' home from the old folks and put his large new home there; but then when he realizes they've sold everything they own in return for something which doesn't work, he gives his home back to them. In literature and film, a flashback (also called analepsis) takes the narrative back in time from the point the story has reached, to recount events that happened before and give the back-story. ... Yzma (eez-mah) is the main villain in Disneys The Emperors New Groove and its spin-off television series The Emperors New School. ... Eartha Kitt (born Eartha Mae Keith on January 17, 1927),[1] is an American actress, singer, and cabaret star. ...

Kronk, as camp counselor of the Junior Chipmunks at Camp Chippamunka he falls in love with fellow counselor Miss Birdwell (Tracey Ullman); but when one of his Chipmunks pulls a prank to win the camp championships and is caught, Kronk protects the boy at the cost of alienating his love. Tracey Ullman (born December 30, 1959) is a English comedian, actress, singer, dancer, screenwriter, and author, who is most famous for being the host of her eponymous variety television show. ...

Kronk's father (John Mahoney) arrives and confusion ensues as several supportive friends try to pass themselves off to him as Kronk's wife and kids. But in the end Kronk realizes that his wealth is in his friendships, and this finally wins his father's thumbs up and Miss Birdwell's love.

Cultural References

• In the movie, when Papi is about to give Kronk the "big thumbs up" the background music is the same as when Simba was walking to take his place as King of the Pride Lands at the end of The Lion King.

• In the credits you can see a picture of all of the characters in front of the castle in Disney World.

• In the dance scene between Kronk and Birdwell, they reenact the spaghetti scene from Lady and the Tramp, and a scene much like George of the Jungle where both Kronk and Birdwell smack into a tree, making a heart.

• The music which is played during the dancing is called Let's Groove by Earth, Wind & Fire; the song was also used in the theatrical trailer to the first film. Also during the dancing scene, the two made a reference to Michael Jackson's dance in his music video, Thriller, as well as the film, Pulp Fiction .

• Right before the cheese explodes, Kronk holds up a sign that says "Uh-Oh", a reference to the Wile E. Coyote/The Road Runner cartoons.

• When Yzma tried to persuade Kronk into working with her, it looks similar to how Ursula convinced Ariel to become human in The Little Mermaid.

• In the scene where Kronk gives a naked Rudy one of Yzma's Scam Youth Potions, he imitates the posture of Gollum of Lord of the Rings, even saying "My Precious!"

• In the scene where Marge and Tina are weeping due to Kronk giving away his new house to the senior citizens (whose original home he destroyed to build in its place), he walks up to the edge of the balcony they're on and says "...don't cry for me, Marge and Tina". This is a reference to the song Don't Cry for Me, Argentina from the musical Evita.

• When Yzma and Kronk go on the lever ride, they go through an area similar to It's a Small World, with an instrumental arrangement of the ride's theme song playing in the background.
