Trivia / Kronk's New Groove

• Creator Backlash: Animator Robin Steele, one of the film's co-directors, does not recall his experience working on the film with much fondness, mainly due to having a very bad experience working with the executives running Disneytoon Studios.
  "And then there was that truly evil epoch called DisneyToon Studios, wherein actually solving script problems with storyboard work was a capital offense, when Disney executives figured that they were the REAL storytellers and directors were nothing but "hired wrists" who were brought on to know how to make animation out of the hash they were handed to work with. The day that I objected to the whole idea of a "cheerleading camp" in ancient Peru (because the writer's wife was SO TOTALLY into cheer camp), at a production meeting with the president of DisneyToon Studios, was the day I signed my death warrant therein. When I questioned the anachronism of the two, I was loudly accosted by said president, who screamed at me: "You're being unproductive, Robin! This movie doesn't even HAVE TO BE IN ANCIENT PERU! It could be in OUTER SPACE! You're not being a TEAM PLAYER!!!" There wasn't much creative logic going in there, in those days. "Put it in a jewel case and ship it" seemed to be the overriding principle."
• In Memoriam: The movie is dedicated to John Fiedler (Rudy's voice actor)'s memory.
• The Other Darrin: Jeff Bennett voices Rudy when he goes crazy.
• Swan Song: Rudy was John Fiedler's final role, as he passed away six months before release.
• Wag the Director: The entire cheerleading camp subplot was put into the film by its writer solely because his wife was really into it, to the protest of one of its directors.
