Death to Smoochy (2002)

Plot: When "Rainbow" Randolph, the beloved but corrupt host of a popular children's television show, is caught in a high-profile bribery scandal and fired, the network replaces him with Sheldon Mopes—a relentlessly optimistic, squeaky-clean performer known as Smoochy the Rhino. Sheldon becomes an overnight sensation, but an insanely obsessed and vengeful Randolph sets out to ruin his naive successor's life, sparking a hilarious and fiercely chaotic war for kid-video supremacy.
