Let's Groove is a fan animation format where artists redraw characters performing the exact hip-swaying, arm-swinging routine that Kronk and Ms. Birdwell do in a kitchen scene from the Disney sequel Kronk's New Groove1. The clip is always paired with the Earth, Wind & Fire disco track 'Let's Groove,' and animators keep the loop tight so any two characters can be dropped into the same choreography2.

Most entries stick to two dancers side by side, which lets creators pair unlikely characters from separate fandoms and let the joke come from the mismatch. The dance itself is simple enough to rig or rotoscope, so the trend picked up steam with mid-tier animators who wanted a quick, recognizable format to riff on3.

The typical Let's Groove entry rigs or hand-animates two characters performing the same side-by-side sway from the Kronk's New Groove scene, then syncs the loop to the chorus of the Earth, Wind & Fire song. Creators often pick a mismatched pair, such as characters from different shows or a hero-and-villain combo, and lean on the contrast for the punchline.
