The Laws of Physics in an Animation Universe: Emperors New Groove Outline

I. Introduction

a. Emperors New Groove

b. D traditional animation

c. The world of the EnG has many odd laws of physics that it abides by in almost every instance.

II. Characters are more durable than solid stone/rock

a. Pacha hits a solid rock boulder with the back of his head with enough force to break into it.

b. Izma swings a hammer upward into Kronks mouth without slowing down, and his teeth catch it without breaking.

c. Izma, as a cat, is smashed into the wall by a window and breaks the stone.

Gravity's effects are slow to be felt and immediate when it is

a. Izma falls through her own trap door instantly.

b. Pacha and Kuzco are suspended in midair well after the bridge has collapsed, and when they do fall it is immediate when they hit terminal velocity.

c. After Izma and Kronk are hit by lightning, they cease to move forward and immediately hit terminal velocity when falling down.

d. Kronk hangs in the air after Izma opens a trap door beneath him after which he immediately hits terminal velocity to fall down.

Characters dont move in curves and break such lines of action

a. After Izma leaps out to grab the vile, she immediately stops in mid air to fall straight down.

b. After Kuzko slides off his party slide, he stops in mi air and falls straight down.

c. After the guards are transformed by the potions into animals, they hang in mid air and stop their forward running motion instantly.

d. After Kronk leaps forward for a cookie, he ceases mid way the jump curve and falls straight down without forward motion.

Conclusion

The world of EnG abides by its own laws of physics. a world in which gravity is slow to be felt but then instantly intense for all things in free fall. This world, understandably so due to these dangerous gravity conditions, are more durable and solid than stone or strong objects.
