Who voices this guy?

  • Who voiced the Theme Song Guy in episodes like The New Kid? Was it Tom Jones again?

Shouldn't she lose her job?

  • If everyone except Kronk knows Principal Amzy is really Yzma, why isn't she fired?
    • Perhaps she has tenure?
    • Knowing what Yzma is like, it's possible that everyone's just humoring her. After all, she doesn't seem to realize that everyone already knows. Plus she's not a bad principal either.
    • Perhaps Kuzco has yet to be liked to that point. Yzma's plan involving fake aliens invoked the fury of some peasants who stated that, while they don't care if Yzma dethrones Kuzco, they're upset that her plans harmed them.

  • Is Yzma impersonating a principal, or did she get the job legally?
    • She prolly got the job by applying under a false name, from what's implied.

Who's running the Kingdom

  • If Kuzco was dethroned and forced to attend school, then who is running the kingdom?
    • It is mentioned off hand in one episode that the kingdom is currently being run by his advisors.

How does that even work?

  • One small issue: In "Yzmopolis", Yzma declares that Malina should walk the streets in shame because she's beautiful and smart. Now obviously this is a jab at the fact that Yzma is neither of those things, but this is where the whole thing reaches a dead end; Yzma is neither beautiful nor particularly intelligent, but she does perceive herself that way. Why would she order those qualities to be shamed instead of admired? And more importantly, why do it to Malina of all people?

Why didn't that potion wear off

  • If potions, like the bunny potion in the first episode can wear off, why didn't the Llama one in the movie do the same? Is that maybe the only "permanent" one?
    • Some potions wear off, others don’t.
