Foodfight! takes place in the supermarket at night after everyone has left. The grocery store transforms into a city, and from every door of this city comes two types of characters: well-known marketing icons and new characters, including Dex Dogtective (Charlie Sheen), Sunshine Goodness (Hilary Duff) and Daredevil Dan (Wayne Brady). They all hang out at the Copa-Banana in the produce section. Soon, Brand X moves into town, and Lady X (Eva Longoria) and her minions try to take over.[1] The animated icons and fictional characters of products — like Mr. Clean and Chester Cheetah -- fight the evil "Brand X".[2]
At the time it was announced, the movie was denounced for taking product placement to the extreme, and doing it in a movie targeted at children.[4] A deal was struck with Lions Gate Entertainment in 2005; shortly afterwards, major changes were made to the project. Celebrity voice talent was announced; new scenes, utilizing motion capture animation were filmed.[5]
