About

The movie follows a nine-year-old boy, Lil' Pimp, who struggles to fit into suburban life and finds friendship with a foul-mouthed gerbil and figures from the world of prostitution. He becomes fascinated with the lifestyle of pimps and decides to emulate them, befriending characters like Fruit Juice and Sweet Chiffon. The film features a cast of notable voice actors, including Bernie Mac, Lil' Kim, and William Shatner. It tackles dark themes with crass humor, making it a controversial yet memorable entry in adult animation.
