Yzmopolis is an episode of The Emperor's New School.
[edit] Plot
Kuzco tries and wants to fit in with the other villagers, so he decides to go to the temple of the sky god. An old man, who happens to see lots of emperors come here, appears near the temple and tells Kuzco to wish he was never emperor. When Kuzco makes his wish, he met up with a tiny version of himself inside the orb. He soon went to Kuzco Academy and discovers that Yzma has taken over the kingdom and sings an attmitably catchy tune about "Yzmopolis". This features a parody on the theme tune, replacing K-U-Z-C-O Kuzco Kuzco GO GO! with Yzma Yzma Yzma Hooray! Nobody, especially Pacha and Chica, remembers Kuzco at all when he returns. Kronk becomes principal of Yzma academy and he has a disguise simalar to Amzy's outfit, where Kronk is a woman, as a part of his disguise. In the city streets, Kuzco soon met Malina who cannot go to school because she is too pretty and too smart instead of being average and normal. She also gets imprisoned for showing her pride because of Kuzco. Kuzco decides to go back to the temple of the sky god to get his old life back but the orb containing the emperor Kuzco is gone. The old man then appears again this time he is actually Yzma in disguise and has the orb. In Yzma's secret lab, Yzma explain that since Kuzco wishes he never was emperor, she used a potion to protect herself from the sky god's magic. After Yzma explains that if Kuzco becomes normal, he eventually snap and will become emperor again if he did something heroic, Kuzco gets turned into a bug and escapes Yzma's lab. Meanwhile, in her palace, Yzma is sleeping and Kuzco tries to get the orb back from Yzma. Yzma then wakes up after the orb is goes out of control in the city streets and finally got in the palace and Kronk uses a hammer to crush Kuzco but Malina saved him because she wants to make sure he's okay. Then the hammer smashes the orb therefore bringing Kuzco his life back. He then promises to be a much better emperor. At the end of the episode, when Yzma finds out she's not emperor, she gets really mad and yells "Kuzcooooooooooooooooo!" just like she did at the end of Rabbit Face.

[edit] Trivia
- This episode is the season finale of Season 1.
- This is the first episode with a short that revolves around Bucky, and is a reference to Mickey Mouse Works cartoons.
- Kuzco's Doodles: Kuzco recounts on how he saved Malina (which he never did).
- Kuzco gets turned into: a flea.
- Yzma speaks of 'Yzmatopia', complete with a loop-the-loop water slide. Kuzco complains that although he threatened to build Kuzcotopia, he never actually went ahead with it. Also, Yzma turns Kuzco into a flea and attempts to have him crushed with a hammer. This plan is a much simpler version of her first plan in The Emperor's New Groove, which was to turn him into to a flea then put him in a box then put that box into a bigger box then mail it to herself then smash the box with a hammer when it got there.
- Aired with this episode was a two-minute Bucky the Squirrel short entitled "Balloonatics", in which Bucky tries to get a baby squirrel to stop crying.
- There are many references to the first movie in this episode. Such as Yzma dancing with guards like Kuzco did, Pacha and Chicha getting trapped in a flag pole like Rudy the old man, and Yzma showing her bald head and no eyelashes (which also happened in the episode) Kronk Moves In.
