Video summary
Trudie Styler documented the making of The Emperor's New Groove - it underwent many changes and so did Sting's soundtrack efforts.
Sting was probably contacted in February 1997 - he worked on songs in April 1997 when the film crew did their Peru trip (April 2-13).
After an August 1998 (?) screening for Disney executives the whole concept of the movie dramatically changed.
They developed six different new storylines for the movie. Around September 1998 Sting was informed about the new direction by telephone.
None of the six songs Sting had recorded until then made it into the movie (but a few can be heard on The Emperor's New Groove's soundtrack).
The whole production shut down for 6 months, so that the new story could be developed.
The movie had its official name by February 2000 - as reported on aintitcool.com.
The first test screening in front of an audience was right before March 28, 2000 - as reported on aintitcool.com.
