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.
