...brashly comic and all but one of its songs scrapped. There were other ominous signs: Disney didn't blanket the TV air with commercials; and Spade, in a recent visit with Jay Leno, was loath to mention his new movie. All of which meant, in the end, nothing; the film is a funny, breezy romp. Emperor Kuzco (very much like the sarcastic brat Spade plays on "Just Shoot Me" and everywhere else) is turned into a llama by his in-house sorceress (Kitt) and her dull aide (Warburton).

Buckingham, editing from eight hours of film, manages to keep such lines as "when I get to a door, sometimes when I'm alone, I just stand there. I'm so used to boys opening doors for me." But the video isn't simply about dialogue. Buckingham follows her blind aunt, focusing the camera on a woman who cannot see she is being taped. Her project evokes irony and discomfort, employing a careful combination of images, sound and dialogue...
