For all those who loved ?The Emperor?s New Groove,? the endearing and funny 2000 classic, Disney is introducing another take-off of the movie. Beginning January 20, Disney will air the new TV show ?The Emperor?s New School.? Coming just after the release of the direct to DVD sequel ?Kronk?s New Groove? (which was less than worthy of the original), the show is produced in 2D animation and carries a TV-G parental guideline.

?The Emperor?s New School? will premiere on four platforms:

• On The Disney Channel, ?The Emperor?s New School? will air Friday, January 27 in a special timeslot (7:30 p.m., ET/PT). Thereafter, its regular Disney Channel time period will be Friday and Saturdays (5:00 p.m., ET/PT).
• Disney Channel on Demand (A subscription video-on-demand service currently available to Cablevision's iO: Interactive Optimum digital cable customers) will premiere the first episode on Friday, January 20.
• On Disney Toon, the series will premiere in its regular timeslot, Monday, January 20 (3:00 p.m.).
• On ABC Television Network's ABC Kids the series will premiere in its regular timeslot Saturday, January 28 (9:30 a.m., ET/8:30 a.m., PT).

The action-packed comedy series is set in an Incan empire and follows the slightly conceited smart aleck teenager, Kuzco, as he tries to graduate school. Although he?s first in line to be emperor, he cannot claim the throne without that diploma. Even worse, he has been banned from the palace and is forced to live with commoner Pacha, his wife Chicha and their family while he struggles to graduate despite the interference of the evil Yzma and her dimwitted yet loveable sidekick Kronk.

He doesn?t struggle alone, though. Pacha is always there to guide Kuzco despite his sometimes disrespectful attitude, and he also has a school ?friend? named Malina to rely on. Of course, the stories are narrated by the only one who really matters, Kuzco.

JP Manoux ("Phil of the Future") stars as Kuzco; Patrick Warburton ("Seinfeld") as Kronk; Eartha Kitt as Yzma; Jessica DiCicco ("The Buzz on Maggie") as Malina; Wendie Malick ("Just Shoot Me") as Chicha and Fred Tatasciore as Pacha, comedian Rip Taylor as Royal Records Keeper and Curtis Armstrong ("Moonlighting") as Mr. Moleguaco.
