Rodney: What's so important about this chocolate anyway?
Vultor: Oooh, that's such a good question, Rodney. But tell me, do you like chocolate?
Rodney: Well, yeah, sure. I like an occasional munch.
Vultor: You and everyone else. The whole world craves chocolate. And he who controls chocolate controls *everything*!

Cute Cartoon

I remember seeing this as a kid in 1986 (at that time I didn't know what the cold war was.) But I liked it. what I remember most was the music, (especially when Rob the Bunny would transform into a bunny with roller skates and look like the American flag.) regardless of the message, it was a cute movie 3 stars
