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 ... read more read more...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, Rovi

    I thought it was laugh-out-loud enjoyable for it's stupidity! I thought it was well made as what it was made for! It did something new, and I admire that!

    A train wreck that is almost fun to watch because it is so incredibly bad. The entire cast and crew must have lost their minds to hallucinogens during the filming. I have no idea why anyone would try to adapt such a campy and cartoony show. It would be like trying to do a live ac... read moretion version of Gumby.

    good for kids but don't be looking for anything groundbreaking here

    This is a delightful movie! The stars (DeNiro, etc.) participating in this fun filled romp look like they're having a lot of fun. Their overacting is hilarious. In her debut starring role, Piper Perabo is wonderful as well. She's sweet and perfect for the part. The plot is weak, ... read morebut that's inconsequential to enjoying this movie. If you are already familiar with the tv series, the dialogue and references of this version seem lacking by comparison. Its not as hip or sharp, but you still won't be diasppointed. I recommend this to baby boomers and newcomers as well.

    I LOVE PUNS! Dawn broke over the city. *CRASH*

    You broke my heart, De Niro. You broke my heart. *sniff*

    When will they learn? Not every baby-boomer cartoon property lends itself to big-screen treatment, as is the case with this ill-conceived effort involving the flying squirrel, his moose sidekick, and several live-action actors who look like they'd rather be anywhere else. This is... read more a bigger bomb than anything ever hurled by Boris Badenov.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It's sledgehammer whimsy, and it's not talking to me.

Joel Siegel

Joel Siegel, Good Morning America

This movie is a bloody mess if I've ever seen one.

Jay Boyar

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

True to the smart-and-zany, shamelessly punning spirit of Jay Ward's hilarious characters.

Jan Stuart, Newsday

By the last half hour, you may feel zombied out yourself.

Michael Atkinson, Village Voice

How does it honor the Americans happily imprinted with the original show's beautiful chaos to have it turned into bastard nonsense? Full Review

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

This clunky TV remake is stiffer than an iron curtain. Full Review

Looms as the Howard the Duck for the new millennium. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

There's a word for this movie, and that word is: jolly. Full Review

Mark Caro

Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune

Rocky and Bullwinkle is stuffed with smart Internet gags, silly movie references and a happy energy.
