 Death to Smoochy (2002): Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Catherine Keener, Danny DeVito - PopMatters Film Review
Sheldon and Randolph become a sort of live action Roadrunner and Coyote, with Randolph's violent schemes backfiring and landing on him like so many anvils while Sheldon, of course, always comes out unscathed.
We can laugh at such violences (broken teeth, beatings, self-immolations) because the opponents are caricatures: Sheldon is generous and kind, prone to spouting mottos like, "You can't change the world, but you can make a dent." He is so dedicated to children's programming that he equates Captain Kangaroo with Jesus.
As Smoochy, Sheldon would never harm a fly, but it seems (and this is apparently the ironic part), he has no problem letting his mobster buddies or even his girlfriend Nora, shoot, behead or otherwise dismember his enemies.

 Death to Smoochy
A good match for the network's newly prudish standards of ethics -- he has no skeletons in his closet, nor even probably a closet -- Sheldon creates headaches for the fatcats anyway: He can't get with the program -- he doesn't realize that his function is to look stupid, be harmless, and sell products.
Even without Randolph, Sheldon has his share of enemies, including a shadowy big boss of the "Parade for Hope" charity (Harvey Fierstein), who wants in on the Smoochy money train.
Sheldon's heartfelt Smoochy songs (including a ditty called "My Stepdad's Not Mean, He's Adjusting") are dead-center whacks at touchy-feely kiddie tunes, and there's a Smoochy-on-Ice number, in tribute to a fallen friend, that manages to be moving and hilarious at the same time.

 3BlackChicks Review™... DEATH TO SMOOCHY (Bams)
His decision to play Sheldon and Smoochy head-on, rather than just mocking this large Barneyesque target, was a good one.
Sheldon - especially in Smoochy-mode - had to be as sincere a character as his real-life counterparts appear to be on those children's programs; and in this, Norton hit the bullseye.
One hump I couldn't get over, though, was the evolution of Nora from pleasurably venomous Uber-Bitch - constantly ragging on Sheldon's audacity to be breathing the same air as she - to her Obligatory transformation to Sheldon's Warm Place To Put It.
