Hey, hey, hey--Bill Cosby's animated creations step off the screen and into modern-day live action to help a lonely high-school girl in this comedy. Kenan Thompson stars as the good-hearted big man who along with his cronies Mushmouth, Old Weird Harold, Rudy, Bill, Bucky and Dumb Donald step straight out of their TV show's North Philly set in the 1970s into the 2000s.

A generation grew up watching Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, the Saturday morning cartoon series that enjoyed one of the longest runs in cartoon history. Now, Bill Cosby’s beloved characters make their way to movie theaters nationwide in an all-new, live-action motion picture. Fat Albert and friends are drawn through a TV into the real world where they get into fish-out-of-water trouble while simultaneously trying to solve the problems of two teenage girls. There is, of course, a ticking clock: if our heroes don't get back into their cartoon universe pretty soon they will turn to celluloid powder. Thanks to their initiative and a little help from the real life Bill Cosby, Fat Albert ("Hey, Hey, Hey") and his pals find a way.
