Lil' Pimp

Plot synopsis:
A little redhead, freckled 9-year-old boy (whose name is not mentioned during the movie, but is revealed in the very end of the movie, as well as in the credits, to be Lil' Pimp) is unable to adapt to suburban life, as his only friend is a foul mouthed gerbil and faces constant rejection by his peers. He accidentally meets a prostitute under the name of Sweet Chiffon, who takes him to her working place, a bar named "the Playground", where he befriends the pimp "Fruit Juice", who gives him a small amount of "pimp glitter". He decides he wants to become a pimp.
The following day at school, during show and tell he is scorned by his classmates for not having a living male relative and decides to use the pimp glitter to summon Fruit Juice, who consequently impresses the whole class. When he visits the Playground again, Fruit Juice alters the boy's style and dresses him as a pimp, too. Meanwhile, mayor Tony Gold threatens to close Fruit Juice's bar, unless he is given 90% of the profits. After this incident the boy's mother goes in search of him, first directed to a gay bar and informed by Sweet Chiffon of a "nasty midget" closely resembling her son and then to the Playground. The boy refuses to return home to his mother, of which mayor Tony is informed directly and takes advantage, accusing Fruit Juice of keeping the boy against his will. He is promptly arrested and his bar is closed down. Afterwards, mayor Tony Gold kidnaps Fruit Juice's prostitutes, in order to exploit them, while assigning two policemen to plant a bomb in the closed Playground.
Meanwhile, Fruit Juice believes that the boy betrayed him, but upon being visited and helped to escape by the boy, he changes his attitude towards him. After the narrow escape, the boy's friends meet secretly in his room in order to concoct a plan to foil the Mayor's scheme. His mother discovers them and agrees to disguise herself as a prostitute in order to lure the two policemen into giving her the keys to the Town Hall. The boy and his friends enter the Town Hall secretly and unveil mayor Tony's wide range of crimes, while the boy sets the prostitutes free. Then, after the gang moves the explosives, mayor Tony, unaware of the situation, presses the button on the remote controlling the bomb, devouring the Town Hall.
In the end, Fruit Juice turns his bar into a theme park also named "the Playground" but less sexually explicit. Mayor Tony and the two policemen are then shown to be working at the park as costumed mascots.

Review:
I thought "Lil' Pimp" was pretty funny.
Who cares if it is offensive because it's just a movie.
It's about a little white kid who decides to live with the ho's and pimps.
He wants to become a pimp after seeing their lifestyle.
There's also the sub-plot of corrupt mayor Tony Gold (Voiced by William Shatner) who wants to control the prostitution racket.
There are some big laughs here.
Some jokes do fall flat.
The character of Weathers (Voiced by Ludicrous) is little grating.
Jennifer Tilly doesn't do anything to advance the plot as Lil' Pimp's teacher.
Besides that, everything else is very funny.
It's worth a look.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com.
No Story, No Characters, No Composed Shots.
One of the commentators on the subject of Lil' Pimp (dbborroughs of Glen Cove), got it right when he/she stated that the movie is really bad but I take exception when he/she commented on the animation.The animation wasn't bad because of Macromedia Flash.
It was bad animation because it was directed wrong.
In the right hands, an artist can create animation as full and fluid as any Disney film and, in the wrong hands, it can look as bad as the stuff on the internet, which is where Lil' Pimp originated and should've stayed there.Studios such as Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney, and Warner Bros., create wonderful animation using Flash (i.e., Puffy Ami Yumi, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Mucha Lucha, etc.).Lil' Pimp was an ill conceived piece of tripe that was made because Revolution Studios bought Media Tripp and Lil' Pimp was one of the properties included.
Roth and company thought they'd make a quick buck exploiting a turd like Lil' Pimp and the sham was perpetuated by it's producer, Amy Pell.
The reason for this third trimester abortion of an animated film is that none of the executives at Revolution Studios had the pragmatic brains to sideline Mark Brooks and Peter Gilstrap (they really tried their best but were way in over their heads), and hire real writers, directors and at least a semi-competent producer.
They did one thing correctly though, they hired some of the best storyboarders, designers, and animators in LA, but as Lil' Pimp demonstrates, one can buy the best sports car on the floor but if you're a moron, you'll wreck it for sure..
The theme music was choice as.Bernie Mack was funny as as Fruitjuice.
So was the voice of Lil Pimp.Cool cameo from Dolemite as Mr Slippers.I found it a entertaining change from Southpark and The Simpsons et al.But the style was obviously influenced by the two.As well as blaxpolitation pimp flicks such as "Superfly" and "The Mack".Pushed the envelope a bit content-wise, which is why it had a higher age rating.A lil short on running time but animation normally is.Bring on more adventures of Lil Pimp!.
Starts off funny, but soon the joke wears thin..
Lil Pimp is the story of a little boy who becomes a pimp.
The animation and voice acting were perfect for this type of film.I laughed out loud for the first 20 minutes or so of this movie; mostly at the concept.
As a 15-20 minute animated short, Lil Pimp would have been a classic.
Instead, this movie consists entirely of one joke that lasts far too long.Weathers, voiced by Ludicrous, does have several crude and funny one-liners.
Unfortunately, that is all the boy's pet rat is good for as he contributes nothing else to the story.
Eventually, I grew as bored with his remarks as I did the rest of this movie.I am a big fan of South Park, and other animation aimed at adults.
The transition from little boy to lil pimp was brilliant; but after that, both the story and dialog became redundant and predictable.I give this movie a five.
It is worth watching for the great concept and voice acting.
It's Worth Watching If You Have A Dirty Sense Of Humor.
The only reason I gave this film a 7 out of 10 is because a flat 6 seems too low but it does feel a bit below a 7 as well.
Let me explain myself first.This movie started off very hilarious.
This kid who always gets picked on finds himself trying to help women cross the streets and wound up escorting this whore to her club.
I think the concept of a snot nose kid and his pet rat who's white but comes off as a ghetto raised thug and making these funny one-liners all the time was hilarious and makes the movie all worth watching.The voices were very good and done by a very nice cast.
The voices fit the personalities quite well and makes the jokes even funnier, if Junior sounded like a regular kid do you think you would've found his jokes funny or feel an innocent vibe with him?
Bernie Mac and Ludicrous were my favorite appearances though, even though the others were really good.The animation was admitting crappy but so what?
You can't always judge a good film on its looks.
I think it's about time someone stood up to the harsh media world and say "Hey, I can make a crappy looking film and make it hilarious!" Seriously, why would people even comment on how bad the movie is but only mention the animation.
All that does is make you look stupid and push all your opinions aside for anyone who has enough common sense to know that comments like that aren't needed.The downfall was where the comedy started to fall flat.
Many may think that Weathers was the only comedy in the movie but I beg to differ.
At 1st he was hilarious and had me asking for more, until I realized he is really pretty aggravating and makes his one-liner comments in every other 3 to 5 sentences.
The more Weather's mouth opened, the more his jokes actually seemed to fall.
By the end of the movie not only did I stop laughing at his jokes but I started getting upset by them.Besides Weathers actually irritating me, the storyline should've ran on a gag instead of running on a story.
Seriously, like I stated in this comment before, the regular concept of a shrimpy white boy experiencing the life of a pimp was funny enough but when I started to realize that there was a real storyline going on then I started to get disappointed because the jokes started failing to make me laugh, the characters were being pretty off, and the story itself was pretty stupid and fell away from what the film started off as.With all said and done I still think this movie is worth the watch and should definitely be rented if not bought..
This movie was da bomb!!.
This was a fantastic movie with the sort of stupid humour that you expect to see from any Flash presentation.
The characters were well defined and everything you expect, the actors were top-notch, and there was just the right level of comic naughtiness!!
We have seen plenty of movies over the years with humour just this side of stupidity and obscenity.
Just take a look at the movies Pootie Tang and Friday After next.
Pootie Tang took the hero to a totally new and unvisited level (rivalled only by radio segments such as Chicken-Man) when everything about the main character is brought into question (including the way they talk).For the right type of person this new movie media type is a real goer!!
As a first attempt I think they raised the pimp-hand and found that it was way strong!
I would like to see more movies done in this fashion (maybe something along the lines of a feature film payout).The problem that this film is suffering with is not only a lack of advertising but a misdirection of audience.
I only stumbled over this movie by chance and though that it would be a bit of a laugh and a giggle (knowing nothing about it and assuming that it had something to do with the Little Pimp character from the movie Friday After Next).
For a few grand I could easily get enough advertising happening for a film like this...it sells itself.Instead of the blurb talking about how it rivals SouthPark, it should read more along the lines of Pootie Tang, Friday After Next, White Chicks, and Soul Plane.
Each of these movies have found the right level of humour, matched it with the right actors (with the right type of voice) and come out with a little known blockbuster..
Review: I thought that this movie was quite funny in parts, especially Bernie Mac who will be truly missed, but it does get a bit silly after a while.
All the pimp game scenes were funny but the little kid was a bit annoying.
Some of the jokes weren't that funny and the storyline was a bit strange, but it's harmless fun for adults.
Its not in the same category as The Boondocks, which I thoroughly enjoyed and the animation was pretty quite bad, but Fruit Juice cracked me up along with some of his hoes.
Anyway it's worth a watch if you want a few laughs, but it could have been much better.
Watchable!Round-Up: Out of all of the characters in this animation movie about getting into the pimp game, Bernie Mac had to be the funniest.
I like the fact that the Producers added some swearing and profanity, because that's what made it funny.
It made me laugh when they tried to dress the little kid as a pimp along with the scenes when he's dancing in the club, but when the whole Mayor Tony aspect come into play, it just gets a bit over the top.
You do have to be into this type of humour to really enjoy it because there are going to be some people that will take offence to some of the language, but if you don't take it seriously, you will find some of the scenes shockingly funny.I recommend this movie to people who are into there animation movies about a young kid who wants to become a pimp.
I mean really, really, REALLY high and this movie has a shot at entertainment.
otherwise save the time out of your life and go do something more constructive with it, like hitting your head on a brick wall and insulting your own intelligence.
A complete waste of talent in some cases (Bernie Mac, John C.
McGinley, Tom Kenny, and the master of hams Shatner) and exactly the kind of crap they deserve to make (the myriad of rappers who insist on making movies).
Not without it's laughs (again chemical aid is crucial) and certainly not without offending the politically over-sensitive (which I'm always in favor of) but ultimately not worth the time out of your life..
Pretty funny, but not great.
I got this movie on DVD for $3.99 at my video store.
I couldn't decide if I wanted it or not, but finally got it.
It has some big laughs in it, most notable a commercial for a Hans Dribbler doll or something.
Like, this doll that shoots everyone...it was funny.
The concept of the movie is hilarious as well, and the Lil' Pimp's voice, as well as the other voices are pretty perfect.
It's really about a confused boy, just trying to find his place, which happens to be a strip club called the "Playground." I really don't know why this movie tanked so bad.
I saw if you watch this movie, you know what you are getting into.
Just don't let the kids see it..
Funny movie, laugh cos its wrong to find it funny..
I thought this was a very funny movie indeed.
It was cheesy and shouldn't be funny but it is.
I know thew animation is poor, internet quality but look past it and enjoy the comedy.William Shatner does a great job voicing the mayor and Bernie Mac is a wicked pimp daddy.If the movie Terkel in Trouble can get a decent score (and its an abysmal movie that just happens to look better) then this deserves recognition for being funny.Watch this movie and know that it is not made by Pixar with a huge budget.
Its not a border line kids/adult movie like shrek.
Its an adult movie, with adult humour.
I love the scene in the cab watch it and tell me it doesn't make you laugh..
The meaning of the Movie.
Lil' Pimp.
Interestingly enough I found this movie amusing.
I am the kind of person that loves cheesy horror flicks and despises American Pie wannabe cliché' films.
Fair enough it has some crude humor and a rather extensive use of the word M*****F****R, but hey, Pimps swear, if the movie didn't have swearing then it wouldn't be able to live by its name.
The innuendo I found funny.
THIS IS NOT A KIDS MOVIE.
adults like cartoons too, and its about time they made one that is for adults.
The fact that "good" produces and flash stylists made this film makes it apparent that they could have made the film very jointed and plausible BUT they make it cheesy for a reason.
It is the same kind of humor that attracts people to South Park.
It is the amateur "style" that mimics the techniques of South Park.
Its not meant to be like South Park, its purely the concept.
(this is all personal opinion and I'm sure there's people that disagree) In conclusion you pretty much need to see the movie to apprehend whether you would find it amusing or not.
Honestly I found this movie 100 times funnier than Neopolean(mental block on how to spell that) Dynamite.
Ps. I am sure Weathers is meant to be some sort of Gerbill thing, rather than a rat.
How do movies like this get made?.
First things first, I am by no means a picky movie watcher.
I'm not one of those people who gets movies just to pick apart the flaws and criticize, I, like most other people, watch to be entertained.
I'll basically watch any type of movie of, no matter how bad anyone says it is (sometimes a movie's so terribly made and written that it invokes a sort of pity humor which i get a kick out of).
With all that aside, lil pimp was simply pathetic.
I saw it on TV and just didn't know what I was watching.
It was too poorly written and cheesy to be an adult movie, and had way too much sex, innuendo and swearing to be a kid's movie, in fact, I doubt even kids would be amused by it.
The humor (pretty generous even calling it that) was so pretentious and campy, I couldn't see how anyone with half a mind could even find it funny.
The only thing that made me laugh was how people like Bernie mac and ludicrous could put their name and time onto/into something so hurting.
Luda's character was such a cheap ploy for laughs, which fell extremely short of its goal.
The plot didn't make any sense whatsoever, the storyline has got to be the worst sequence of events ever put together on screen.
I could keep going on, but I want to see what people think of my reaction before I start discussing specific instances of pathetic scenes.
All I have to say is it really has to make ya wonder how much time these writers spent on their knees trying ta get it made.J. Not for Kids and not particularly good..
First and foremost keep the kids away from this movie.This is the story of Lil' Pimp, a grade schooler who saves not only pimpdom, but the city from the evil clutches of the mayor.Its the first, and one hopes the last, attempt to make a complete feature film using the Macromedia Flash Animation program.
I doubt would have worked on the big screen since its often little more than static pictures with one or two things in motion.
The animation is so limited that it makes the cut outs of South Park look like the work of Leonardo Da Vinci.
The animators simply don't give us enough to look at.
Ultimately the style of animation dooms the film for any kind of success.Plot wise, first, second and third reports told of how this film was a complete and total disaster; of retakes, of complete rewrites, animators being sacked then cheaper help being brought in to save what many said was beyond saving.
I'm happy to report that the film isn't as god awful as the stories made it out to be.
If you can accept a kid as a pimp and don't mind dirty jokes and situations then you'll at least like this film, assuming the animation style doesn't rot your brain (yes its that bad) Pretty much its no more than an okay film, and its nothing one would or should actually pay to see, but for free on TV with some drunk friends this could be an amusing time killer late on a Saturday night..
The Mother F**ker of all films.
This is one of the few films that hits the nail on the head.
They set about making a kid a pimp and they succeed, while having a laugh along the way.
The choice of characters is superb, as well as being extremely well scripted.
Bernie Mac was made for the part of Fruit Juice, and there was no better choice for Tony Gold than William Shatner.With a pretty much all star cast the only things that were lacking was length (113 mins isn't long enough), and the total lack of advertisement.
I stumbled across this little gem in my local video shop and only rented it to see what the deal was with having a comedy legend such as Bernie Mac teamed up with Captain Kirk.
