Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends - The Complete First Season Reviews
Social Satire At Its Best
I know...let's satirize the going ons in the world through a cartoon. That way, nobody will know what we're doing...we can have two characters, a moose named Bullwinkle and a squirrel named Rocky...Oh, yeah, it'll be great.
And it was great and it still is! This show was written on so many levels. It was not condescending to adults and it was a joy for children. I remember as a kid I used to hold my sides I laughed so much. Now as an adult I still hold my sides laughing but from all the things I didn't catch as a kid. I mean, the writers of this show literally huck one-liners at you from all over the place. You'll catch one and then another one comes right at you and then another and another...
The Rocky and Bullwinkle show satirized the going ons of America at the time; the Cold War, the Counter Culture Movement..."a lot of people think a Beatnik is just a bum who doesn't bathe. A beatnik is much more...but not by much...", and Politics. It was thinly disguised a child's cartoon, but attracted the young and the old alike. The Rocky and Bullwinkle show was hip, cool, and just downright crazy. You couldn't even get away with doing something like this today. You'd have good 'ol GW setting up surveillance cameras in your bathroom. I wouldn't say that the show was a threat, but it certainly did expose a lot more of how life was back then than any other show of the same period. Everything else was so sterile...so squeaky clean. I even think that the "rough animation" in was done in was a commentary on how everything that appeared so refined and polished was, at its core, in dissaray.
This show is just a brilliant work of art. It truly belongs in the "classic" category. There will never-ever be a show like this again. Nobody seems to have the guts. Everything is laminated. Everything is plastic. Everything is so contrived. So do yourself a favor, buy yourself a set of these DVDs and laugh like crazy before the powers that be try to make laughing illegal.
I'm not kidding...
A Great Super Carttoon series of all time!
Rocky and bullwinkle is without a doubt one of the best cartoons of all time. There are 2 of the very first adventures all in one on this dvd set.Even though the music can be different it is still very funny and entertaining. Just like the wonderful hanna barbara cartoons this show is a must and fun for everyone!
