Outline for Term Paper: The Emperor's New Groove

                        

1.       Introduction
a.       Our world lives by laws and rules.
b.      Animated world doesn't have to!
                                                     i.      Writers and animators use it to tell a story and add comedic or dramatic value.
2.       Breaking the law of inertia
a.       Yzma vaulting down the hill in a barrel; she hits a bump and flies through the air only to suddenly stop mid air in the place of a piñata that a group of children are about to hit. Law of inertia, "An object moves with constant, uniform motion until acted on by an unbalanced force." Should have continued to fly until she hit an object or fell on the ground.
b.      Both times that Yzma and Kronk as well as Pacha and Kuzco ride the roller coaster and end up in Yzma's secret lair, they jump out and land right outside their cart. In reality, the law of inertia should have them landing much further out.
3.       Falling and neglecting gravity
a.       At the beginning of the movie, Kuzco throws Kronk a snack, which Kronk tries to catch in his mouth. While doing so, Kronk falls backward off of the very high platform where Kuzco and Kronk are standing. When Kronk falls, he hangs in the air for a second before falling. Kronk should begin his fall immediately if adhering to the law of gravity.
b.      Yzma and Kronk are struck by lightning and hang in the air for a second before falling. Same concept.
4.       Path of action
a.       Kuzco and Pacha fall off a bridge. Pacha catches himself with a hand while grasping Kuzco, who swings against the cliff and lodges his nose into a hole. Doing this wakes up a colony of bats that fly out of the hole, filling and then flying out of Kuzco's mouth, propelling him into the air and up to the top of the cliff, where both Pacha and Kuzco land safely on their feet.
5.       Conclusion
