The Emperor's New School Musical

Plot

Yzma (Eartha Kitt) comes up with a new way to stop Kuzco (J. P. Manoux) from graduating. She wastes school funds which causes the academy to go bankrupt, and she tries to tear it down. Malina (Jessica DiCicco) asks Yzma if she can give them two days to raise enough money to save the school. She decides to do a school musical. It seems to be a horrible plan when no one is good enough to be in it. Things are saved when Yatta gets a pop superstar, Dirk Brock (Joey Lawrence), to perform in the musical. Kuzco can't star in the musical anymore, so he tries to get rid of Dirk. Yzma also tries to get rid of Dirk. Kuzco getting rid of Dirk Brock could cause Malina to hate him. He goes through with it by giving Dirk a laryngitis potion and causing him to lose his voice. But, in the end, Kuzco does the right thing by fixing Dirk's voice, and even when Yzma comes and the things go wrong for a little time, they save the academy, and Malina becomes proud enough of Kuzco she is willing to kiss him and follows through. During the end credits, they have an argument about if it was real or just acting.
