Movies - Fat Albert


Fat Albert is a 2004
live-action movie based on the Filmation animated television series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. The movie was produced by Davis Entertainment
for 20th Century Fox, and stars Kenan Thompson
as the title character.

The plot surrounds Fat Albert and the gang leaving the cartoon world and entering the real world in order to help a teenage adolescent deal with the challenges of being unpopular. Her unpopularity stemmed from her tendency to withdraw into a world of her own as a consequence of the death of her grandfather, whom she was very close to. It is up to Fat Albert and the gang to show her that she is special and can make friends.

Unlike so many movies that melt the cartoon world with the real world while at the same time keeping the cartoon characters two dimensional, e.g Who Framed Roger Rabbit
, Fat Albert takes a twist and transforms the cartoon characters into three dimensional humans, who have to come to grips with the differences that exist between their world and the real world.

Critics were not impressed with the film, whose characters may not have been familiar to a generation raised on other recent franchises. But the film did modest business at the box office, making $48 million.
