Well it's time to open some fan mail.
I don't know how this person got a hold of my physical address. But here goes... Well Jimmy, to answer your second question. 'Heathcliff' is my favorite cartoon cat.
I'm talking about Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable. He was one cool cat.
To answer your first question, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? (1988). But going on about a movie I love isn't any fun. There is one cartoon/movie you need to avoid, FAT ALBERT (2004).

Albert Robertson is Doris Robertson's grandfather. He died some time ago. I designed your character after Albert Robertson. And you heard her spirit... and you crawled through the set? -Bill Cosby (Dialogue in FAT ALBERT)
Using the elliptical machine at the gym, I had to watch FAT ALBERT, because it was the only thing on, and I forgot to bring my iPod. I didn't exercise for 90 minutes, so later on, I watched the whole thing, straight-through, so I wouldn't miss any of the good parts.
The focus of the story is Doris. She's a young, 'urban' teenager who doesn't have any friends, because she can't get over her dead grandpa. Fat Albert and the gang want to help her get some friends. But hanging out with dorky guys in tacky clothing makes this feat much less surmountable.
FAT ALBERT is a mix of; PLEASANTVILLE, BACK TO THE FUTURE I, THE WIZARD OF OZ, and every after-school special.
Since Kenan Thompson does a perfect Bill Cosby impression. And he was in that fat camp movie, HEAVYWEIGHTS (1995). He's most capable of portraying this character.
Sure, I could have closed my eyes, and pretended like nothing was happening, but is that ever the solution to...being raped, metaphorically speaking?
Everyone knows this is a bad movie. But just how bad is it? 40 years from now; one of your grandkids may stumble upon this. So before they have the chance to play FAT ALBERT in some new-fangled hologram contraption. You need to burn down their house. Yeah, it's a bit extreme. But you need to show them the grave importance of the issue at hand: sanity. You need to make sure their mental health isn't compromised by sub-par entertainment.
Final Verdict: 2 out of 100
