I found this one AWESOME fact on Tumblr awhile ago and forgot to put it on here. 

Here is how someone changed the canon of The Emperor's New Groove.

Did I ever tell you guys how I actually semi-officially changed the canon of this movie

Oh?

Yeah I got one of the lead writers to make something canon with help from my roommate and his dad.

Ok so this all started with a fan theory I read on Reddit. Basically the theory was that since the only animals in the movie that are shown to be capable of speech used to be human, then any animal that can talk was at one point a human.

On Kuzco's first night alone in the jungle, he sees a fly in a spiderweb. The fly screams "HELP ME" then gets eaten.

The theory was that that fly used to be human.

So my roommate really liked that theory and said "hey my dad is actually friends with the guy who wrote Emperor's New Groove, he can ask him to confirm that theory for us." (I'm not naming names here I don't wanna get sued)

So a couple days later we get screenshots of my roommate's dad's email asking about the theory and the lead writer's response:

"The fly is... Kuzco's late father."

My roommate's dad: "is that canon?"

Writer: "It is now."

So Kuzco's dad was turned into an animal by Yzma, we assume, as part of her ploy to take the throne. It makes SENSE.

And that's how I helped change the canon of a major Disney movie.

So crazy huh?
