Director
for Director in Hungry Hungry Hippos (2006)
Suggested by humbertonajera

In an comedy adaptation of Hasbro's "Hungry Hungry Hippos", a team of obese hippopotami get kicked out of the hippo community for eating too much food. Johnny Galecki, Queen Latifah and Brad Pitt voice the tubby clan. Alone in the jungle, they inadvertently find themselves helping out King Toucan (portayed by Will Ferrell), whose stockpile of magical red-and-yellow pellets is being stolen by evil crocodiles. Fast-food marketing opportunities abound, as well as tie-ins with The Biggest Loser and possibly red-and-yellow-covered Skittles, which look kind of like the red-and-yellow pellets.
