Kingdom of The Sun, also known as Kingdom In The Sun, was a film due to be released in Winter of 2000.
The film takes place in an Incan civilization. The protagonist is Pacha, an eighteen year old llama voiced by Owen Wilson. Pacha meets Emperor Manco, who he looks and sounds identical, and they decide to switch places in order to let Manco take a break from his royal duties. A romantic plot involved Nina, Manco's fiance, falling for Pacha. Yzma is a sorceress and member of the Royal Court who longs to be young and beautiful like she was years prior. She creates a plan to block out the sun. Her sidekick is a talking talisman known as Hucua and Kronk does not exist. Yzma turns Manco into a non-talking llama at one point but he becomes a minor character after that, instead of being the focus point of the movie. The climax involved Yzma summoning a dark force called Supai to engulf the kingdom, but ultimately being killed by the sun, which Pacha lassoed and pulled down to Earth.
The movie had several delays and executives weren't fond of it. Eventually it was decided to scrap the plot and heavily rework the film into The Emperor's New Groove. At least 20 percent of the animation was complete and the entire story was created but only a few scenes have been leaked, via the documentary The Sweatbox.
Every song from the movie was cut when it was retooled from a dramatic musical to to a buddy comedy however Yzma's antagonist song, "Snuff Out The Light", was added onto the official soundtrack.
