Synopsis
The pride of Frostbite Falls and Whatsamatta U's most famous alumni find their way onto the big screen (and the real world) in this comedy inspired by the popular cartoon series. Years after their TV show is cancelled, Rocky the Flying Squirrel (voice of June Foray) and Bullwinkle J. Moose (voice of Keith Scott) are barely getting by on residual checks; they're wondering what to do next when Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro), the evil genius of Pottsylvania, transforms himself from a cartoon into a living, breathing, nasty human being, thanks to the assistance of television executive Minnie Mogul (Janeane Garofalo). With the help of his newly flesh-and-blood henchmen Boris Badenov (Jason Alexander) and Natasha Fatale (Rene Russo), Fearless Leader plots to take over the world by using television to zombify people and then persuading the masses to elect him president. Can the daring flying squirrel and the well-meaning but not especially bright moose stop them? Unlike the TV show, which made a virtue of its unsophisticated animation, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle employs a technically sophisticated blend of computer-generated animated characters (Rocky and Bullwinkle) and live actors (Fearless Leader, Boris, and Natasha). Human beings making guest appearances include Randy Quaid, John Goodman, and Jonathan Winters. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Could have been funnier by hneline1 March 13, 2002 - 10:05 AM PST

Being a Rocky and Bullwinkle fan, I didn't know what to expect in a live action movie. Well, although there are some funny moments, this movie does not come close to the wit and satire of the original cartoon series. The jokes are silly, Piper Perabo has no chemistry with R & B, the cameos could have involved more inside jokes. The Rocky and Bullwinkle animation in the real world is not believable -- "Who framed Roger Rabbit" did a must better job of integrating animation with the real world.

Just for fun by calvindoth March 2, 2002 - 2:50 PM PST
