Tear Jerker / Kronk's New Groove

Go To

  • During Kronk's flashback to his childhood, we see an absolutely adorable scene of Kronk as a child happily baking what appear to be either muffins or fully-iced cupcakes and offering them to a group of squirrels. The cuteness abruptly dies off with the appearance of Papi's imposing silhouette, who immediately sends Kronk to his room. Kronk has three seconds to cry on his bed before Papi comes in and takes away Kronk's oven mitts - after Kronk gives them a final, tearful hug. Kronk had to grow up with a parent who refused to allow him to pursue the hobbies he most enjoyed, likely because those hobbies are stereotypically girly.
  • When Ms Birdwell is rebuking Tipo for making her and the Chippers disqualify the championship, Kronk steps in to defend him, resulting in her breaking up with him. Kronk hangs his head in shame, realizing what he has done.
    Kronk: It was all a big mistake!
    Birdwell: [crying] I'll say it was... the biggest mistake of my [angrily] life! [saddened] I thought I could trust you...
    Kronk: But, Miss Birdy-Poo
    Birdwell: [voice breaking] Don't ever call me that again! [angrily] On second thought... don't call me EVER!
