Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was originally in pre-production since 1992, with Danny DeVito and Meryl Streep set to play Boris and Natasha. However, legal problems with copyrights prevented the film being made until several years later along with trying to find the right story that would be faithful to the original cartoon. Eventually in 1995, producer, Jane Rosenthal felt the movie should be a live action/animated hybrid movie thanks to the success of Casper (1995).
- GoofsAt the R.B.T.V. Station, when a security guard is tossed from Bullwinkle's antlers, the glass shatters before the guard is thrown through it.

R&B's observations on contemporary society are hilarious. The film also pokes fun at politicians, the legal system, and our addiction to TV, with a riotous sendup of "Cops".
The film is quite satisfying whenever R&B are onscreen. When it's just the human actors, things get a little dull. DeNiro, Alexander and Russo all are decent, but these performances would be criticized no matter who was playing them, with the possible exception of Jim Carrey. The best human performer is Piper Pirabo, a total hottie. She has been criticized for a bad performance, but I thought she did a great job.
It's not Oscar material, it won't gross $100 million, and it's not deep social commentary, but it sure is fun. Anybody with a sense of humor would be hard-pressed not to smile and feel good on the inside after seeing this. I just hope they make a sequel. Rocky & Bullwinkle forever!!!!
