Fat Albert (film)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hate Dumb: A lot of the negative reviews border on Ruined FOREVER territory. The movie itself was fun to watch and had a powerful final scene to go out on. In reality, it's far better than what a lot of punks try to call it.
  • Tear Jerker: The final scene. You see Bill Cosby and the real world counterparts of the Cosby Kids, all aged and forlorn, Mushmouth's counterpart even in a wheelchair... standing before the grave of Albert Robertson- their Fat Albert. As Bill walks by each of them, the character they inspired appears, even his own, while they all look on at their departed, beloved friend with grief-stricken faces... accompanied by painfully sad music. However, it turns into a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming when the gang holds a fun-spirited race in the graveyard, with the old Mushmouth being pushed by the old Old Weird Harold. Despite their old age, they're still kids at heart- just like the characters they inspired.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Mushmouth never had or needed a translator in the series since most of what he said was clear to it's audience, but the creators decided to put Weird Harold as the translator for some reason but it is clever at times.
