Foodfight! is a children's movie that actually played in theaters in some places. Budget of $65 million, starring Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff, and Christopher Lloyd. It made $73k at the box office.

Summary from The AV Club: "The grotesque ugliness of the animation alone would be a deal-breaker even if the film weren't also glaringly inappropriate in its sexuality, nightmare-inducing in its animation, and filled with Nazi overtones and iconography even more egregiously unfit for children than the script's wall-to-wall gauntlet of crude double entendres and weird intimations of inter-species sex."

The episode of The Flop House on this movie is also really good (#138 (http://www.flophousepodcast.com/2013/11/episode-138-foodfight/)).

The New York Times did a full piece (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/11/movies/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-computer-animated-foodfight.html?_r=0) on Foodfight.

Is this a dream? Am I going to wake up and return to a world in which this isn't something I have to accept as a real thing that exists? Why is pinching myself not doing anything?
