Devito's turn as The Penguin was disturbing. I remember seeing this in the theater when it first was released. The theater was full of kids. I was cringing at some of the lines coming out of the Penguin's mouth- 'I'm gonna show her my french flipper trick.' was one of them- I'm not a prude, but this was alittle over-the-top for little kids to hear. Devito was truly creepy in this role!

I do definitely understand where you are coming from good sir, maybe it isn't a little kids movie, but as long as someone is mature enough they can watch it I reckon. I do think lines like that and "I'd like to fill her void" and Penguin's endless fantasies about Catwoman would go over a lot of young, innocent kids heads.

We were so poor, we lived off peanut butter and cellulite sandwiches! You ever try to blow-dry your hair with a fart?

OK, I get it. You were poor.
You bet I was! You ever try to make a snowman out of toilet paper cling-ons? Now that's poor!
OK, please, you're going to make me vomit!
Vomit? We couldn't afford no vomit; that's for rich folk.
Excuse me while I wipe my eyes.
Oh, you wanna talk about wiping?
NO!

this movie was animated and live action - I saw it on TV last night

This one might be a bit difficult:

"Dang it, Jim. I'm an astronomer, not a doctor! I mean, I am a doctor, but I'm not that kind of doctor. I have a doctorate, it's not the same thing. You can't help people with a doctorate. You just sit there and you're useless!"

It sounds like the Big Bang Theory but it can't be, because that is not a movie. Um - maybe a wee hint SVP?

Ok, hint 1 was animated adaptation of a great book.
Hint 2: the movie is sci-fi; the book was definately not.
