Can we all take a moment to appreciate Yzma? Because we really should. Yzma is easily one of the most under appreciated queens of Disney evil. She is a good 200 years old out here and still relentlessly scheming for Kuzco's throne, iconic. In 2000, Yzma is slaying us all with the classic Head-Witch-In-Charge look, a nod to legends like Malificent, the Evil Queen, and Cruella De Vil. Do you see the elegant black gown and the extravagant feathered collar.
She doesn't just look good either. Yzma may not turn into a dragon, but she has the capacity of betrayal on the level of Scar and the sass of Hades. Forget poisoning the innocent princess with fruit, and letting her peacefully sleep. Yzma invites Kuzco to dinner and plans to poison the arrogant heir emperor with the food on his plate. The drama is so real. Poor Yzma. With a minion like Kronk it is impossible to get anything done. He's literally a boy scout for crying out loud. What can a bad mamma-jamma like Yzma do with such a goody-two-shoes to do the dirty work.
So anyways, hats off to Yzma. For looking this glamorous and ancient. For being her best evil every day, no matter if anyone's there to help her or not.
