As usual, the Disney Channel will do several rebroadcasts of the eps on different days.

Originally Posted By basil fan I saw the first ep, & it was okay, but not great. Some chuckles, & Eartha Kitt is doing Yzma, which I didn't really expect. The art style is very unusual, almost looks like paper cut-outs at times (ala Samurai Jack, only with outlines). Although it doesn't match the look of the film, it's good to see some imagination used in the "look." My biggest problem was that they tried too hard to incorporate every single element from the original film. For example, every time Yzma rides to her secret lair, she doesn't have to slick back the plumes on her hat. I did like the idea that the lever opening the lair may have a different trap every time they enter.

Originally Posted By TheRedhead I'm enjoying it a lot, too. The first episode was funny, but weirded me out a bit: are they really going to mimic EVERYTHING from the original movie? The second episode settles into it's own, though. Not surprisingly, Kronk steals the show. When he's dressed as the nurse and says, "Yeah. I got the part of the nurse" (and he seems...happy), I nearly lost it. I like the doodling Kuzco bit too.
Originally Posted By jasmine7 I'm really loving it. It's taking the best parts of the film and skewing them slightly. I love the trips on the rollercoaster into Yzma's lab and how it's slightly different in every episode (hehe, I cracked up at the technical difficulties on one of last night's episodes. . . the PA announcement was so like the ones at WDW).
