Kuzlina = Tianaveen

Both couples have turned into animals - for Kuzlina, only Kuzco turned into an llama in the movie and would continue turning into different animals in the series, while this occasionally happened to Malina; for Tianaveen, both couples turn into frogs, with Naveen first before Tiana.

Non-white couples - Kuzlina are both Quechua Indigenous; Tiana is African-American while Naveen comes from a fictional country, but it's a popular fanon for him to be Indian

Hard-working, smart, no-nonsense young woman from humble beginnings x Rich, spoiled, slacker young man who gets some much needed wake-up after being turned into an animal

The young men from each respective couple were betrayed by a close advisor - Kuzco was his right-hand and woman who practically raised him and she was the main villain; Naveen's ex-ally was his butler/handler who was seduced by the movie's actual main villain.

The young men have an instant attraction to their respective female love interests and grow to fall even harder for them as their respective stories progresses.

The young men aren't initially impressed with their respective male love interests because of their arrogant, selfish, immature, lazy attitudes. However, as time goes on. each woman falls for their future lover because of their many (and once buried) good qualities and gradual maturity.

Each couple have a number of dance scenes together.

One person of each couple has lost at least one parent - Kuzco was an orphan at birth; Tiana lost her father in (presumably) World War 2.

The female half of each coupling have had friends before their respective male halfs.

Both couples are brunettes.

When I was younger and watched "The Emperor's New School", this was my favorite shot of the entire opening song. They are both being so playful and flirty with each other. Kuzco teasingly trying to sneak at Malina's work while she covers said work, just as equally teasing. It's just so cute.
