Le avventure di Rocky e Bullwinkle

"The Adventures of Bullwinkle and Rocky" follows the typical trend. Why show respect for the original when we all know everyone who ever lived before this new generation dragged their knuckles in the dust?

I hate the animation (why does modern animation try to be ugly?) But, to be fair, the original Bullwinkle was pretty crude, inconsistent, and looked like what it was: farmed out to a cheapjack Mexican studio to keep costs low. Bullwinkle fans like to pretend the almost barbaric animation of the original is part of its charm, but it was cost-cutting and nothing else and is the weakest part of the old series, too.

What really made the old Bullwinkle come alive in the 1960s was the same thing that set Bugs Bunny and Co. Apart 20 years earlier: sharp, witty writing and the best voice work in the business. For Bullwinkle that included June Foray, Daws Butler, Walter Tetley, Paul Frees and notable legitimate actors Hans Conreid, Edward Everett Horton and Charlie Ruggles.

Also typical of moderns is, rather than coming up with something new they scavenge what's old like jackals, with the attitude that the old shows would have been like this had they been smart as we are. Rather than being witty they savage, and include unnecessary gross-out jokes.

Rocky and Bullwinkle may be dead but if they are R. I. P. Let them lie. Don't remake them in a modern image and kowtow to PC censors and the sort of claptrap that ruined the Muppets. Rather than marring the memory of the old why don't they come up with something brilliant on their own?

Because they can't.

This reboot is honestly pretty decent,it's not as good as the peabody and sherman show but still pretty good,it has problems like using "hip" lauguge and humor that's on par with modern nickelodeon but the voice cast is great(tara strong did a great job as rocky)and has lovely art direction and nice old school animation overall it's not perfect but still at least a decent reboot unlike wacky races and the 2016 powerpuff girls 7.1/10

The original Rocky and Bullwinkle was fantastic. This is garbage. The animation is just terrible. It is an abomination. It has none of the charm of the original. Wish I could give it a zero.

I don't understand the hate this show gets? I watched all of season 1 and I LIKE it I hope to see a second season in fact. Go ahead and downvote if you want... that won't change my opinion. I got four words for EVERYONE who saw this show. TO! EACH! THIER OWN! I like it some of you may hate it. Everyone has their own opinions and that's no reason to hate on those who like it

"Rocky & His Friends" was the first TV cartoon specifically tailored to adult sensibilities (though Jay Ward's preceding series, "Crusader Rabbit", had some of that ). Ward didn't care if some of the humor was built on jokes and references parents had to explain to their kids.

The focus wasn't primarily on R&B dealing with their adversaries, but with satirical attacks on American society and individuals. When the monstrous metal-munching Moon mice destroy Frostbite Falls' TV antennas, a crazed elderly woman (voiced by June Foray) runs around screaming "Our lives are ruined!"

Then there's the Kirwood Derby, which makes its wearer the smartest person in the world. This was a slap at Gary Moore's dense sidekick, Durward Kirby, who threatened to sue. Jay Ward's response? "Go ahead -- we'll pay you to sue."

The world is a lot meaner and nastier than it was 60 years ago. "Fearless Leader" is no longer a jack-booted Austrian with a fencing scar -- he's our disgusting, amoral, idiot President, who thinks he knows everything. * Will the writers be willing to confront him, and the thugs he's surrounded himself with? I doubt it.

Like any great work of art, the original R&B wittily reflected its times. The new version almost certainly will not. Sad.

* Bullwinkle sometimes did a "Mr Know-It-All" sketch. This could be recycled with Trump replacing the moose. Come on, guys, show some spine.
