'''''Bobby's Girl''''' is an unfinished animated film produced by Ralph Bakshi and John Kricfalusi. It was to be a parody of 80's teen films like ''16 Candles'' and ''The Breakfast Club'', though the film never reached completion, due to Tri-Star (who had previously purchased rights to the film) cancelling its production following the firing of Jeff Sagansky, Tri-Star's former president.
