** We don’t know he came asking for food, just that he came to see the emperor because he didn’t have any food.

** It's unknown where exactly that peasant lives. There very well could be different castes of peasants (compared to the emperor, everyone who ''isn't'' emperor could be considered a peasant), and he's just on such a low caste that there are no restaurants around his area to spend money on. He would need food directly.

*Why is the peasant at the start asking for food? We find out later in the movie that there are restaurants for peasants, and if he can't afford it, shouldn't he be asking for money?

** Also, Kuzco saving Pacha from falling came after Pacha saved him from the bridge, which he did despite Kuzco just admitting he lied and was still planning to bulldoze the village. Kuzco rightly worries that Pacha could have let him fall once he grabbed the rope, but he saved him despite now knowing he can’t be trusted. Kuzco letting Pacha die after ''that'' would have been a lot more heartless than before, when he wasn’t completely unjustified in thinking Pacha had kidnapped him.

** Presumably the bug that Tipo ate isn't considered normal food like the pillbug. Just like how some people might balk at eating mice or dogs but not chicken or beef.

**If you actually look carefully at the scene where the line is spoken, the map Kronk shows actually explains it - Kuzco and Pacha took an ''extremely'' circuitous route.

Added DiffLines:

** While the CallBack gag is funny, it doesn't really make sense for ''Kuzco'' to be confused by it - after all, he's an intruder, he pulled the wrong lever, he got dumped in a pit filled with crocodiles. From his perspective the lever's purpose ought to seem obvious.

** However, in a chapter of TheEmperorsNewSchool when Yzma rejuvenates, her skin is darker than when she is old. We could assume that in the Kuzco franchise there is a type of vitiligo "invented in this universe" that causes the skin to become more and more lilac over time and that Yzma has that disease.

** I would rather say her skin color is an allusion to the Disney tradition of giving Disney villains outlandish skin colors (PurpleIsTheNewBlack and GreenAndMean) to set them apart from the rest of the cast.

* Both Kuzco and the rest of the characters have dark skin as they are Andean Amerindians. However Yzma is the only one that differs a lot with the physical appearance of the others, beyond that it looks like a skeleton and even that it has a very turned up nose, her skin is pale violet. Why does he have such a strange physique?, Is she really human?, is it an alien?, Are you an indigenous person who has a skin disease similar to Michael Jackson's vitiligo?

** Since Kuzco had that old man thrown out for simply bumping into him, we could assume that if he wanted Yzma thrown out then and there, she would have been. Either she was still free to live in the palace or he was giving her some time to properly get her things together and move.


Added DiffLines:

** Yzma is also terrifying to everyone, so the people in the palace just took her word without question.


Added DiffLines:

** Yzma possibly thought she could just bribe the aide to keep quiet.


Added DiffLines:

** It does show how much of an idiot Kuzco is as an emperor with how shamelessly rude he is to everyone. In the voiceover, he describes himself as "the world's nicest guy and they ruined my life for no reason", and then it's shortly followed by this scene for massive irony. He's so clueless that he doesn't think pissing people off willy-nilly is going to make him more enemies. And so there's no doubt in the audience's mind that when Yzma declares him dead, no one is sad, and that's another thing forcing character development.

** He or Yzma probably put it back on the shelf (especially since there's no reason to be carrying around an incredibly dangerous poison in your pocket all day) and Kronk wasn't paying attention to where it was put and just grabbed the first one that looked like a skull.

** Tying with the above, they really didn't go that far to begin with. Pacha's village is only about a day's trip from the palace. The bridge broke, they had to backtrack to take the long way around, and had their falling out that same day. They were probably no more than a few hours away from Pacha's place at any given point.

** Remember that for Kuzco, ItsAllAboutMe. He didn't seriously think about Yzma (or how she would feel about being fired) because he doesn't seriously think about anyone.

*How the heck did Kronk even mix them up in the first place, when he literally had the right potion IN HIS HANDS just a few hours (probably, give or take) earlier? Though on the other hand, this IS Kronk we're talking about...



** Kuzco recalled how his last interaction with Pacha ended with a (unsuccessful) protest against the farmer's plan to terminate the latter's village in favor of Kuzcotopia. And now Kuzco is with Patcha in his village in the form of a llama. He jumps to the conclusion that Patcha turned him into a llama and smuggled him to the village without contemplating the plausibility of how he did it. As for Yzma, Kuzco gives her the benefit of a doubt throughout this whole movie. Sure, he fired her after years of going behind his back with her authority, but (as far as he knew) she was still loyal to him with virtually every bone in her body.
