A criminally underrated comedic masterpiece, Death to Smoochy (directed by beloved actor Danny DeVito) tells the story of Rainbow Randolph (Robin Williams), the colorfully costumed yet morally bankrupt star of a popular children’s TV show. After being busted by the feds for taking under-the-table bribes, the disgraced Rainbow Randolph is replaced by Sheldon Mopes (Edward Norton) and his on-screen alter ego Smoochy: a puffy, fuscia rhinoceros. As Smoochy catapults to fame, Rainbow Randolph makes the unsuspecting rhino the target of numerous outrageous attempts to exact revenge and reclaim his status as America’s sweetheart.

"It's good—no, great—to see Williams as a mean rat bastard."
"The cynicism is colossal, the casting superb: Norton may be the only actor alive who could pull off a character like [Sheldon], without making him either an idiot or a parody."
This film is part of the The New Classics series.
