Mark Allen Mothersbaugh (/ˈmʌðərzbɔː/; born May 18, 1950) is an American musician and composer. He came to prominence in the late 1970s as co-founder, lead vocalist, and keyboardist of the new wave band Devo, whose "Whip It" was a top 20 single in the US in 1980, peaking at No. 14, and which has since maintained a cult following. Mothersbaugh was one of the primary composers of Devo's music. In addition to his work with Devo, Mothersbaugh has made music for television series, films, and video games via his production company, Mutato Muzika. He composed the music for the 13-year run of the animated series Rugrats and its three related theatrical films. He has created film scores for Wes Anderson and for Marvel Comics films. As a solo musician, Mothersbaugh has released four studio albums: Muzik for Insomniaks, Muzik for the Gallery, Joyeux Mutato, and The Most Powerful Healing Muzik in the Entire World. In 2004, he received the Richard Kirk Award at the BMI Film and TV Awards for his contributions to film and television music. In 2008, Mothersbaugh received an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Kent State University, his alma mater.

Based on the 1972 children's chapter book of the same name by Robert Kimmel Smith. Henry Green is an 8-year-old boy who loves all things chocolate (milk, semisweet, white, dark). For breakfast, he'll eat chocolate chip waffles with chocolate syrup, double chocolate cookies as a side dish, maybe chocolate-dipped strawberries, and chocolate milk. His older sister and father consider it weird, but his mother loves him enough to give him all the chocolate he wants. One day in school, Henry's skin suddenly breaks out in dark hives. It looks like chicken pox, only the spots are brown and they smell like chocolate. The school nurse couldn't figure it out, so she called a doctor and an examiner confirms the spots are MADE of chocolate. Some scientists hear through the grapevine and consider it a money-making discovery. After learning that he'll be going through painful experiments rather than being given a cure, he runs away. He can't go home and he can't stay in town. Luckily, a friendly truck driver named Mac picks him up from the road and offers to help find the cure.
