Are there a lot of fart jokes in cgi movies?
I struggle to recall any in TOY STORY, ANTZ, A BUG'S LIFE, TOY STORY 2,
MONSTERS INC, ICE AGE, FINDING NEMO, ICE AGE 2, OVER THE HEDGE, BEE MOVIE,
KUNG FU PANDA, WALL-E. Altho remember at least one or two in SHREK.

Women make up more than half the population in the country.
African Americans make up about 12%% (about 1 in 8).
The math is more galling for actresses.
And that's before considering the plunge off the cliff in roles for actress
who cross the 30-year mark, and the deep chasm when they hit 40.
