Pacha (The Emperor's New Groove)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pacha is a fictional character from the Walt Disney animated canon movie The Emperor's New Groove, in which he was voiced by John Goodman. He is a well-meaning peasant and family man, and a subject in the domain of the selfish Emperor Kuzco. He is the most noble character in the movie, and it is in part due to his example that Kuzco begins his self-transformation into a noble man himself.
Pacha also reappeared in the direct-to-video sequel called Kronk's New Groove (once again voiced by Goodman) and then in the follow-up series The Emperor's New School (in which his voice acting was taken over by Fred Tatasciore).
In The Emperor's New Groove, Pacha is summoned to the palace by Kuzco and is told that his house on the hill will be destroyed to make room for Kuzco's summer home. Distraught, and horrified that the emperor could be so callous, he travels home to tell his wife (Chicha) and his two children (Chaca and Tipo) that they have to leave their ancestral home. However, before he can tell them, he discovers that Kuzco has been transformed into a llama and dropped in the back of his cart. The two set out to turn Kuzco back to a human by getting to Yzma's lab. Kuzco lets Pacha keep his house.
In Kronk's New Groove, Pacha is Kronk's friend. He disguises as Pachita, Kronk's mother-in-law. (They initially planned for him to pretend to be his wife, but Pacha's wife Chicha did that instead.)
In The Emperor's New School, he is like a father to Kuzco and lets him live with him. He always gives Kuzco advice to help him out of any situation. For example, when Kuzco was transformed into a rabbit, he told Kuzco to "Make the best of what you've got", which in this case was speed.
Pacha is married to Chicha, and as of the time of the first movie they have two children together: their daughter, Chaca (seven and a half), their younger son Tipo. At this point Chicha is pregnant with their third child, a son name Yupi, who is born before the movie's final scene and appears in all spin-off material.
