Fat Albert (DVD, 2005) Previously Viewed
Movie Description
Inspired by the 1970s animated television series, FAT ALBERT transports
the loveable characters from their animated universe into the real
world. When Doris (Kyla Pratt), a sad teenager in Philadelphia, turns
on a rerun of FAT ALBERT AND THE COSBY KIDS, her tears compel the
always-helpful Fat Albert to jump through the TV screen to her rescue.
His friends quickly follow, and to Doris's astonishment, the whole Fat
Albert gang magically transforms into real live people right in her
living room. Not knowing what to do with her odd new friends, Doris
adamantly denies having a problem, and encourages the boys to jump back
into the TV set. But Albert can see that Doris is lonely and is
determined to find her some friends. As Albert tries to fix Doris's
problem, the rest of the gang tries to adjust to their new, unscripted
world. Meanwhile, Albert finds himself falling in love with Doris's
foster sister, Lauri. But as soon as the gang begins to enjoy the perks
of being real, their brightly colored outfits start to fade. Taking
this as a sign that they do not belong in the real world, the boys
decide it's time to go home. Bill Cosby (co-writer of the film and
creator of the original series) makes a guest appearance as himself,
warning Albert that he must return to his animated world before
evaporating into a cloud of celluloid dust. But before Albert can
leave, he must solve Doris's problem. Kenan Thompson (of Saturday Night
Live fame) is charming as Albert, who demonstrates the power of
believing in one's self by never letting anything (including his size)
get in the way of his goals.
