Travels in the Disney-Verse

I haven't seen too many Disney films but, my favorite one they have done is definitively The Emperor's New Groove. It is obviously a comedy as most Disney movies are and it follows a classic Disney theme of silliness, growing as an individual and eventual the hero trumping over some kind of obstacle in their way. The only thing about The Emperor's New Groove that bucks the preconceived formula is that out main character starts out as an unlikable person. Also there is no really love story shown. In all the other Disney movies I have seen, Mulan, The Lion King, Toy Story and Tangled the main character isnt as antagonistic as the Emperor is. But all the other Disney main stays and tropes appear, multiple musical numbers, some kind of anthropomorphic character, the big bad, a nice/plucky protagonist and some what bumbling but still good hearted partner or side kick. These attributes appear in all the other Disney movies I have seen as well.
