The Emperor's New Groove

OW: Pacha is just an ordinary guy. The leader of the village who just herds llama all day.  Emperor Kuzco wants to destroy his village. "It's my birthday gift to me!"
Call: Kuzco is turned into a llama (Llama?! He's supposed to be dead!) and winds up on the back of Pacha's wagon. Kuzco wants to be returned to the palace to be changed back into a human. "Hey tiny, I wanna get outta this body wouldn't you?"
Refusal: Pacha says no because Kuzco says he will not change his mind about destroying Pacha's village for a pool.
Mentor: Pacha's wife kinda makes him realize he should go back and talk to Kuzco again
Threshold: Pacha enters the scary forest after Kuzco. "I'm the emperor! and as such I am born with an innate sense of direction."
Tests, Allies, Enemies: Kuzco and Pacha face jaguars, falling off a cliff, alligators, scorpions, bats, even Yzma and Kronk. They also get mad at each other. "Was this woman scary beyond all reason?" "Oh ya!" "Thats Yzma and Kronk! I'm saved!"
Approach: Kuzco and Pacha reunite and make it back to Pacha's house. From there they race to the palace to find the right vile to change Kuzco back. "How did you get back before us?" "By all accounts it doesn't make sense." "Oh well."
Ordeal: Yzma gets the vile and calls her men to attack Kuzco and Pacha. Kuzco is changed into a bunch of different animals in the process of running from Yzma because they grabbed all the viles they could and none of them are labeled. "Please be something with wings!" "Ya we're flying!" "Uh oh." Finally, there are only two left and Kuzco and Pacha have made it onto the roof of the palace. Yzma has followed them however. She gets her hands on the viles but is accidentally changed into a cat! "Is that my voice? Is that MY voice??" Right before Yzma drinks the human potion, Kronk pops out of a trap door and flattens Yzma. Kuzco gets the vile and changes back!
Reward: Kuzco is human again and finally changed his heart. He apologizes to the man from the beginning that threw off his groove. "What can I say, I'm a rebel." Pacha and Kuzco also become best friends and Kuzco builds his summer home somewhere else!

THE END:)
