Trivia / The Emperor's New School

• Acting for Two:
  • Jeff Bennett as Topo & Ipi.
  • Gabriel Iglesias as twins Yu and Tu.
  • Courtney Peldon as Cuxi, Cuca, & Curi.
• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: Several sites, including Behind the Voice Actors and epguides will say that Gabriel Iglesias voiced Guaca. Actually, Justin Cowden voiced Guaca; Iglesias voiced the twins Yu and Tu.
• Development Gag: Malina is based on Mata, a female Love Interest that was originally intended to appear in Kingdom of the Sun, the original incarnation of The Emperor's New Groove. The waitress from the first film, who appears here as a lunch lady, is also given the name Mata.
• Missing Episode: For no apparent reason, episodes 43 ("Father O'Mine" and "Everybody Loves Kuzco") and 49 ("Faking the Grade" and "Eco Kuzco") are never shown in the Disney Channel's rerun rotation. ^note  Though they did air on Toon Disney The Kuzcoween, Cornivale, and Giftmas episodes also fall under this, but it's because they're holiday episodes.
• The Other Darrin:
  • J. P. Manoux replaced David Spade for the role of Kuzco. This also counts as Role Reprise, since he previously voiced Kuzco on an episode of House of Mouse.
  • Fred Tatasciore replaced John Goodman as Pacha. This was only for the first season, as Goodman was able to reprise his role in the second season.
  • Pacha and Chicha's kids get new actors due to the previous ones hitting puberty.
  • In the Japanese dub, Showtaro Morikubo replaced Tatsuya Fujiwara as Kuzco for obvious reasons.
• Real-Life Relative: At the time in the Japanese dub, Showtaro Morikubo and Yuu Asakawa (Kuzco and Malina's respective voice actors), were married—however, they're now divorced.
• Role Reprise: Patrick Warburton and Eartha Kitt reprised their roles as Kronk and Yzma respectively, as did Bob Bergen as Bucky. Wendie Malick came back as Chicha and Season 2 saw John Goodman return as Pacha. JP Manoux reprises the role of Kuzco from House of Mouse.
• Working Title: It was originally tentatively titled The Emperor's New Skool, as deliberately misspelled.
