The Sweatbox
is a documentary designed to show behind the scenes footage of
Kingdom of the Sun
. In reality, it illustrated the slow and painful transformation from
Kingdom of the Sun
to
The Emperor's New Groove
, including the director,
Sting
(whose wife created the documentary), artists, and voice cast being dismayed by the new direction. Its major theme is creative-executive conflicts.
Unproduced film

- Kingdom of the Sun
was the original draft of the film that went through massive changes and eventually became
The Emperor's New Groove
. It is considered a different film despite being vaguely cosmetically reminiscent of the finished one. It was described as being an
epic film
on par with
The Lion King
as opposed to the buddy comedy it became. The plot was more akin to
The Prince and the Pauper
and focused on llama herder Pacha (voiced by
Owen Wilson
) and emperor Manco Capac (still voiced by Spade) discovering their visual similarities and switching places with one another. Yzma (still voiced by Kitt) was an evil witch and vizier who would transform Manco into a llama so that she could use him for the annual sacrifice and summon the shadow demon Supai to block out the sun and restore her youth.

Much of the animation and even original audio can be seen in
The Sweatbox
documentary. Following the success of the
#ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement
, fans have started the similarly named #ReleaseTheAllersCut movement for Disney to complete and release the original film.
