AIRED: 2/3/06

Empress Malina: Malina is supposed to be Kuzco's date for the Kuzcoteque, but he can't get past a tiny zit on her nose. When he tries to use one of Yzma’s potions to get rid of the zit, it ends up giving her the beak of a bird!
Red-Eyed Tree Frog Man: Yzma’s science class is dissecting frogs, so she turns Kuzco into one so he can be dissected! Instead, he becomes a “hero” known as the Red-Eyed Tree Frog Man.moreless

Empres Malina was solid. Loved Tree Frog Man!

9.8

I'll agree that Empress Malina wasn't the strongest of the stories so far. It did give a bit more insight into Kuzco and Malina's relationship, though. And I really liked that Kronk thought he was Yzma...a classic idiot response.

Red-Eyed Tree Frog was so funny though. Shows the series can expand into different areas and have fun with itself in new ways the movie never explored.

This is my favorit episode

By anuy67, Sep 12, 2006

This is the first good episode in the sirries. I personaley did not care for the Emperiss Malina epsode,but the Red Eye Tree Frog Man epsode made me laugh the rest of the day. My favorit part was when they sung the Red Eye Tree Frog Man Them Song. Kronk was also funny on this episode because he became a fan of his enmey (or friend I still can't tell if Kronk is a good guy or a bad guy). I also like it when Kronk stupidy case him to Yzma to fall. Overall I think this is one of the beast episode yet.moreless

Funny! This episode held all the characteristics which made the movie so well loved. Kuzco's delightful selfishness, his hilarious cut ins plus a delightful theme song! What else can one ask for. THis is the episode which got me to fall in love with the show. It's such a well done extention of the characters created in the movie. They've even added some good character to round out the cast. Melina offers a perfect counter part to Kuzco. That is not to say she is perfect where he is flawed, but she is able to check his less attractice tendenacies.moreless

Hilarious! Keep 'em coming.

I just finished watching the entire episode of: The Empress Malina & Red Eyed Tree Frog Man! Those two episodes were hilarious. My favorite moments would have to be when Kronk hits Yzma over the head with the bananas because he was confused and then it was so hilarious in the end when he did it again and he said: Oh No You Dont, Uh Or No I Dont. That cracked me up. Also I liked when Kuzco said: Pacha Dont Preach. I was dying laughing and then I liked the part when Kuzco tried to save the baby from the sharp knifes in the barrel and then his tongue got caught under the wheel and when he spoke it came out all funny. This was the first time that I actually laughed through the entire episode. I loved it, I give it a solid 10!moreless

Just didn't seem as good as the first two episodes. Some work definately needs to be done.

4.0

By Fan_Biggest_Fan, Feb 03, 2006

This episode I found was very hard to concentrate on and stay focused. It didn't seem to have good storylines and the end of the episode just ended. It had no conclusion or anything, it was a really bad cliff hanger. Just the plots Yzma and Kronk came up with didn't seem very good. They were dull and pointless. Maybe this is just a duddy episode, which I hope it is. If the rest of the episodes are going to be like this, I'm not sure I can watch the show much longer. And the show might just have one season because I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking these things.moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- Red-Eyed Tree Frog Man's theme music is similar to the one from the old Marvel comics' "Spiderman" TV cartoon series.
  EDIT SHARE

  EDIT SHARE
- Waitress: For the last time, I did not order a giant box of marshmallows.
  Delivery Guy: Well ya could've told me that before I opened it up.
  This is an allusion to a scene from the original movie, and is worded almost exactly the same way.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Yzma is offering Kuzco a choice to either let Malina remain with a toucan beak or to forfeit the throne to her, the entire scene is possibly a reference to The Little Mermaid, in which a similar situation occurs with Ariel.
  EDIT SHARE
- Kuzco refers to Yzma as Rip Van Wrinkle. This is a reference to a character in a book with the name Rip Van Winkle written by Washington Irving.
  EDIT SHARE
- Pacha: We're all a part of the circle of--
  Kuzco: Don't even say it.
  This is an reference to The Lion King which uses this phrase often.
