Rocky and Bullwinkle

I have been a huge fan of the Moose and Squirrel practically all my life, mostly because of the cleverness and originality that set their show apart from anything by Disney or Warner Brothers. Unfortunately, the makers of this short don't have nearly as much love for either the characters or the series.

There is nothing clever anywhere in this work; all the gags, and even the overall plot, are recycled from other cartoons and are all-too-easily predictable. For example, in one brief scene the villain uses extra-sharp skates to cut a line around Bullwinkle on a frozen lake; is there anyone out there who can't predict what happens one second later? And even the spoken humor feels forced, like too much effort was made for too little payoff.

If you are a fan of R & B, don't watch this short and don't tell other people about it; let it fade into obscurity, which is the fate it deserves.
