I think it's worth mentioning that near the completion of the Emperor's New Groove, Sting almost had his name taken off of the credits because he felt the waterpark at the end unfairly sold the concepts of greed and commercialization to children.

I'd consigned myself to never seeing the Ray Liotta clip when I found version that someone had taped off of their TV with the Italian audiotrack. Now I don't want to see the English because it could never live up.

Looking at this picture again, I'm noticing you can't distinguish between what on that plate is 'real' and 'toy.' Is that lime supposed to be part of his dinner? Or made of plastic? What about those assorted brown bits?

Only with a weird face that god drat reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what.


At least, I'm sure that's what they were going for.

I think the purpose of villains like Waternoose and Lotso is to underline what happens if the protagonists don't learn from or make the right decision about their conflict. Gallant has less impact without Goofus to serve as a counterexample.

Do they need to be ramped up to the point of desperation at story's end? Not necessarily, but it sure makes the message clearer.
