Do you know what movie was a really great movie when it came to representation? Well, I’ll tell you.
The Emperor’s New Groove.
Yeah, I’m serious.
Every single character was POC:
One of the main characters was a supportive, gentle, and loving husband/father at a time when the absentee/jerk dad was popular:
Plus there’s the awesome body-types! And speaking of bodies, all of the female characters have different designs:
And Chicha (Pacha’s wife) destroys the trope of the typical nagging housewife and is both extremely supportive and extremely hilarious:
And the main female villain is hilarious:
There’s no romance at all. Instead, the “love” that’s formed is a platonic, familial, one. Can you say ‘found families’? Because I can’t say it nearly enough. Found family morals are the best!
Also this scene:
In conclusion, this movie was great, its sequel was great, its series was great, and it’s a shame that tumblr only remembers it as the movie where the POC main character (bitch which one?) turns into an animal.
