Kronk's New Groove Plot
Life for Kronk is going pretty good these days. He was the muscle bound but lovable henchman that did all the dirty work for the evil Yzma in "The Emperor's New Groove". Now Emperor Kuzco has changed his dastardly ways, and Yzma is nowhere to be found. Kronk's one happy guy! He thinks he has found the woman of his dreams, he is the head chef at Mudka's Meat Hut and does he have friends – old ones, young ones, new ones and, of course, there's his good pal Pacha, and his Junior Chipmunk kids who make him the best Camp Chimppamunka Leader around. To top it off, this is his movie! It's all about him. Great! Right? Wrong!
Kronk receives a letter from his Papi telling him he is coming for a visit. Kronk flips out! You see, all Kronk has ever wanted from Papi is a thumbs-up of approval, but he's never gotten it.
Then, Yzma returns and finds a way to lure Kronk back into her feline trap. She has found a new youth potion and convinces Kronk to be the salesman to all his pals at the senior home. It's a scam, and when the big soft–hearted lug realizes this he gives them their house back. But the woman of his dreams, Miss Birdwell, shuns him and breaks his heart.
With Papi still on his way, Kronk's friends come to the rescue. Our lovable hero realizes he is the richest, most successful man in the world – he has true friends. And Papi comes through with a big thumbs-up. Kronk learns that to be happy you must be "True to your Groove!"
