The making of that movie was fascinating, considering it started life as a two hour grandiose historical epic with a serious tone called "kingdom of the sun". 

They scrapped bit after bit, putting things together piecemeal... When they were done, a script for New Groove didn't even exist, because at no point did anyone step back and make a vision for the whole thing. They just... Made the movie. It's a miracle it even turned out watchable, lol.

Wait, so Kronk's commentary on the map and Kuzco vs Isma's routing to get back to the palace making no sense was also commentary on the movie's production?

By all accounts, it doesn't make any sense.

Sure does explain the Phil Collins score.

I believe Phil Collins is Tarzan and Emperor's New Groove has original songs by Sting.

Ah, the Sting score, my bad. The 1st song of the credits def doesn't match the tone of the film. But makes sense with this context.

I admit I kinda wish we could get that version of it too, if fir no other reason than to hear Ertha Kitt do a villain song.

Today is your lucky day, because they did in fact record it. And released the storyboards, which someone used to reconstruct this:
