When Yzma is searching for Kuzko at Pacha's house and talking to Pacha's wife, who is pregnant, she drops something on the floor and Pacha's wife picks it up. It takes her a long time to do this because she looks almost ready to deliver her baby. Less than a minute later, when Pacha's wife sees Pacha at the kitchen window, she excuses herself and rushes over to the window. A woman as pregnant as she is could not move that fast. [Baloney. My wife has been "that pregnant" thrice and, while it's not comfortable, she was always able to move pretty much as swiftly as she needed/wanted to.]

When Tipo (Pacha's son) wakes up after his bad dream, Pacha's wife comforts him and says that Pacha is fine and went to go see the emperor. However, the last time she saw Pacha, he said that he'll put their llama back. He never mentioned going back to the emperor. Therefore, there is no way for her to know that Pacha went back to see the emperor. [After Pacha's confrontation with Kuzco in his yard, Kuzco takes off into the woods by himself even though Pacha warns him not to. Kuzco is in the words for sometime before Pacha rescues him from the leopards. That leaves plenty of time for Pacha to walk into his house, tell his wife he's going back to see the emperor, and then go off and save Kuzco.]

At the end of the movie Cusko and Pacha are trying a bunch of different potions to change him back. When Cusko is a turtle and they slide down the railing, in the first shot it goes straight down, but the next shot it's a ramp. [No, it is just a steep railing. There is also a landing which can distort the view.]
Edit
In the scene where Yzma is smashing the statues of Kuzco, Yzma tells Kronk to move one of the statues "a little to the left", however it was moved to both of their rights. [Well Krunk is very stupid and Yzma isn't the brightest spark so she just failed to notice. Character mistake if anything.]
Edit
When Yzma gives Kronk the 'poison' he holds it in both hands. After the line where he says 'oh, I can feel it' he takes both hands off, for about 2 seconds, massaging thin air or something. The bottle stays in the exact same place instead of falling on the floor. [Common cartoon gag, not a mistake.]
Edit Corrected by Phixius
When Kuzco fakes being poisoned Yzma tells Kronk to "get rid of the body." Kuzco should have heard that and realized that Yzma was trying to kill him. [Kuzco was knocked unconscious by the 'extract of llama'. He had no idea that Yzma was trying to kill him, so he'd have no reason to pretend to be dead. Therefor, he was unconscious and couldn't hear Yzma tell Kronk to "get rid of the body".]
Edit Corrected by Nick Bylsma
When Tipo jumps out of Pacha's arms to hug his mother, you can see for half a second that he trips, falls on his face and immediately gets up. It is very funny to see. [His fall is perfectly obvious and cannot be considered trivia.]
Edit
The journey between Kuzco's palace and Pacha's village has to take at least an entire day (It's night when Kronk knocks Kuzco out, day while Pacha is traveling and dusk when he arrives back home), surely during that time Pacha would have stopped for even a brief rest so he should have noticed the large sack on the back of his wagon before he got all the way home. [He presumes the sack is one of his, so he doesn't notice it. It isn't until it starts moving that it gets his attention.]
Edit
Towards the beginning, in the scene where Kuzco says, "And let me guess, you have a great personality." he says this to a woman in a crown. In the next shot, the woman that looks mad does not have a crown on, yet she is standing next to the woman that does. [No, she simply looks down. The woman who gets mad is the one he says "Yikes" to. ]
Edit
When Kuzco tells Pacha that he is going to destroy his village, he knocks the little model out of Pasha's hand. You hear it smash when it hits the ground. Yet, Kuzco somehow has the model to replace at the end of the film. [He's the emperor, if he wants another model all he has to do is snap his fingers.]
Edit
In the scene where Yzma and Kronk are preparing to get rid of Emperor Kuzco, Yzma mentions that no-one but her, Kronk, and the Emperor know that she was fired. In the scene where she is being let go, there is a servant writing out a pink slip, he obviously knows that Yzma was fired too. [I believe she meant to say that the only LIVING persons knowing about her being fired, was herself, Kronk and Cuzco. If she was able to kill the emperor (try, at least), killing the servant probably wouldn't be too hard.]
Edit Time
When we first see the poison, it's in a container that Yzma knockes over to kill the plant, and she gives the container to Kronk. How did it get into a little vial labled with a human skull-that-is-mistaken-for-a-llama if all Kronk had to do was pour the liquid from the container into a vial and from there into the emperor's drink? [The potion she knocks in the plant is NOT poison. It is to turn Kuzco into a flea. (She explains the story, then knocks it over in excitement). After that, she says something along the lines of "Oh well, I'll just kill him" and get's out the vial with the supposed skull on the front. They are different potions that do different things.]
Edit
Yzma knocks over the poison and it spills onto the plant. You would think that all, or maybe even some of the poison would have come out of the vial, but there is the same amount if not more poison in the vial when she says: "I'll just poison him with this." [Yzma might very well have had several different kinds of potions, all in different vials.]
Edit
When Yzma first tries to poison Kuzco, Kronk uses the wrong potion and Yzma sees this by the label that is on the potion. But at the end of the film when they are trying to find the human potion amongst all the other potions, none of them have labels. [When Kronk mixes up the potions, he says "you know, in my defence, your potions all look the same. You might want to consider re-labeling them." So maybe most of them don't have labels in the first place.]
Edit
This is a 2 parter, 1. If potions don't have to be drank but just by touching the person then Kronk would have turned into a llama when he faked drinking the drink at Yzma's house, and or when he used the mitt to mix the drinks again. 2. And the palace guards did not have to drink the potions that Pacha spilled when he knocked over the table in Yzma's lab. [There could be different types of potions, some that you have to drink, and some that you only need to touch.]
Edit Time
In the dinner scene, Kronk is handing out a drink to Kuzco on a platter. The one with the llama potion is farthest away from the other two (which are close together). But when Yzma tells her sidekick to give the emperor his drink (after Kronk saves the Spinach Puffs), all of them are evenly spaced. [It moves because he puts it down quickly to go save his Spinach puffs.]
Edit
In the scene where Kuzco, Yzma, and Kronk are having dinner. Kronk is about to give Kuzco his drink (which, along with the other two drinks, is on a circular platter), then the emperor tells him that something's burning. In the next shot, The drinks disappear (Kronk isn't holding them), and then reappear several shots later. [It's because he puts the tray down down to save the Spinach puffs.]
Edit
When Pacha and Kuzco Llama go to look for the Human Potion, they open the owl cabinet and find the labels Lions, Tigers, and Bears. When Yzma knocks the cabinet, all the potions spill out, including the Lions, Tigers, and Bears. But Kuzco tried all the potions and never turned into a lion, tiger, or bear. [Kuzco will obviously only try the potions without labels as he wants to turn into a human. If the potion has a label on it, like these do, he wouldn't use it.]
Edit
In the scene where Pacha and Kuzco got into the restraunt kitchen, the double doors are red but when Kuzco leaves, they are blue. [They are blue on one side and red on the other.]
Edit
Pacha gives Kusco his green thing to wear to the restaurant as a disguise, but later when Pacha leaves Kusco you see that Kusco still has his robe thing and eventually takes it off and throws it on the ground. Soon after you see Pacha wearing his green robe thing talking to the other Llamas. [He told the llamas that he followed Kusco after their fight. He could have picked the green thing up while following him.]
