The 40th animated film produced by the studio, it was directed by Mark Dindal, from a screenplay by David Reynolds and a story by Chris Williams and Dindal. The voice cast features David Spade, John Goodman, Eartha Kitt, Patrick Warburton, and Wendie Malick. "The Emperor's New Groove" follows a young and self-centered Incan emperor, Kuzco, who is transformed into a llama by his ex-advisor, Yzma. For the emperor to change back into a human, he trusts a village leader, Pacha, who escorts him back to the palace.


The Emperor's New Groove

Development began in 1994, when the film was conceived as a musical epic titled "Kingdom of the Sun". Following his directorial debut with "The Lion King" (1994), Roger Allers recruited English musician Sting to compose several songs for the film. Because of the underwhelming box office performances of "Pocahontas" (1995) and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1996), Dindal was brought in as co-director to make the film more comedic. Because of poor test screenings, creative differences with Dindal and production falling behind schedule, Allers departed, and the film became a lighthearted comedy instead of a dramatic musical. A documentary, "The Sweatbox" (2002), details the production troubles that "The Emperor's New Groove" endured during its six years of development.

The Decameron

The Decameron (; or Decamerone ), subtitled "Prince Galehaut" (Old ) and sometimes nicknamed "l'Umana commedia" ("the Human comedy", as it was Boccaccio that dubbed Dante Alighieri's "Comedy" "Divine"), is a collection of novellas by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–1375). The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men; they shelter in a secluded villa just outside Florence in order to escape the Black Death, which was afflicting the city. Boccaccio probably conceived of "The Decameron" after the epidemic of 1348, and completed it by 1353. The various tales of love in "The Decameron" range from the erotic to the tragic. Tales of wit, practical jokes, and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. In addition to its literary value and widespread influence (for example on Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales"), it provides a document of life at the time. Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language, it is considered a masterpiece of classical early Italian prose.

The People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (, "Hezb-e dimūkrātĩk-e khalq-e Afghānistān", , "Da Afghanistān da khalq dimukrātīk gund"; abbreviated PDPA) was a Marxist–Leninist political party in Afghanistan established on 1 January 1965. Four members of the party won seats in that year's parliamentary elections, reduced to two seats in 1969, albeit both before parties were fully legal.


While a minority, the party helped former prime minister of Afghanistan, Mohammed Daoud Khan, to overthrow King Mohammed Zahir Shah in 1973, and establish the Republic of Afghanistan. Initially the PDPA was highly represented in the government cabinet, but many were later fired as relations with President Daoud Khan were worsened.

The republic lasted until 1992 after mujahideen rebels took over; the PDPA dissolved, with some officials joining the new government, some joining militias, and others deserting.

Hipparcos

Hipparcos was a scientific satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 1989 and operated until 1993. It was the first space experiment devoted to precision astrometry, the accurate measurement of the positions of celestial objects on the sky. This permitted the first high-precision measurements of the intrinsic brightnesses (compared to the less precise apparent brightness), proper motions and parallaxes of stars, enabling better calculations of their distance and tangential velocity. When combined with radial velocity measurements from spectroscopy, astrophysicists were able to finally measure all six quantities needed to determine the motion of stars. The resulting Hipparcos Catalogue, a high-precision catalogue of more than 118,200 stars, was published in 1997. The lower-precision "Tycho Catalogue" of more than a million stars was published at the same time, while the enhanced Tycho-2 Catalogue of 2.5 million stars was published in 2000. "Hipparcos" follow-up mission, "Gaia", was launched in 2013.

Iguanodon

The genus was named in 1825 by English geologist Gideon Mantell but discovered by William Harding Bensted, based on fossil specimens found in England and was given the species name "I. anglicus." "Iguanodon" was the second type of dinosaur formally named based on fossil specimens, after "Megalosaurus". Together with "Megalosaurus" and "Hylaeosaurus", it was one of the three genera originally used to define Dinosauria. The genus "Iguanodon" belongs to the larger group Iguanodontia, along with the duck-billed hadrosaurs. The taxonomy of this genus continues to be a topic of study as new species are named or long-standing ones reassigned to other genera. In 1878 new, far more complete remains of "Iguanodon" were discovered in Belgium and studied by Louis Dollo. These were given the new species "I. bernissartensis." In the early 21st century it became understood that the remains referred to "Iguanodon" in England belonged to four different species (including "I. bernissartensis") that were not closely related to each other, which were subsequently split off into "Mantellisaurus", "Barilium" and "Hypselospinus." It was also found that the originally described type species of "Iguanodon, I. anglicus" was a "nomen dubium," and not valid. Thus the name "Iguanodon" became fixed around the well known species based primarily on the Belgian specimens. In 2015, a second valid species, "I. galvensis", was named, based on fossils found in the Iberian Peninsula.
