Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle - Nostalgia Critic

[@Yunone]

Whether you loved or hated this movie, there's one thing everybody overlooks at... The people who made this movie watched tons of Rocky & Bullwinkle episodes to make this movie and even brought in the late June Foray (R.I.P.) to reprise as Rocky, so you got to give credit to the movie for at least trying to stay close to the original source material. Unlike other live action cartoon movies who NEVER or very little stay close to their original source materials.

[@mitchfletcher2386]

Fair point.

[@drdewott9154]

Yeah Great job on the studio's behalf there. Gotta give them the applause for that even if this movie wasn't the biggest success

[@bronykingamethystrain5676]

To them that is.

[@The12thDimension.]

Wait so, does that mean that the creaters of this movie actually cared about it?

[@b3rz3rk3r9]

THAT'S the only way to actually get a good adaptation, and yet all these new adaptation barely give the source material a sideways glance. It's a damn shame.

[@altejoh]

By far my favourite joke this movie makes: "But Bullwinkle's skull was so thick the mind controlling message could not get through." Love it.

@@kareemmasri3934 Yeah, it's so frustrating to see him trash Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and praise Willy Wonka despite the former following the book closer.

[@kareemmasri3934]

rckblzr12 I’m still upset most at his daredevil review for 2 reasons 1. He kept complaining about Matt’s powers being contradictory to actually loosing his sight even though the sonar still can’t let him read anything or even see AT ALL if there is no sound to hear and 2. Being that he doesn’t understand the significance of Matt being rattled by that child being afraid of him even though he only fights criminals and sees himself as a protector............. actually, add Hulk too because a lot, if not MOST of the emotional abuse subtext of the film goes WAYYYYYYYY over his head, goes to show that he REALLY only takes comic book characters at face value and can’t really analyze the entirety of them unless it’s DIRECTLY spelled out for him (see: the recent reviews of the Raimi Spider-Man Trilogy)

[@PhazonOmega]

I came here expecting Nostalgia Critic to tear into a film that I enjoyed as a kid and remembered as a silly and faithful re-creation of the original. I found he actually thought it was a silly and faithful re-creation of the original. Wow!

[@Connor_Tyler]

Something that still boggles my mind: _Who Framed Roger Rabbit?_ was released in 1988, and they absolutely nailed the meshing of animation and live action; it's done flawlessly. Yet in the following THIRTY YEARS no one else has even come close. How is that possible? EDIT: I am coming back 5 years later to say that the _Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers_ movie also got it down flawlessly. It only took Hollywood 34 years to do it again.

I'll say that again... a real hanger, it's up there with Waterloo. And one of his reasons is so fucking stupid I literally dropped my jaw, one of his reasons was that you now what's going to happen... let me say that again, one of the reasons he hated it is because you knew what was going to happen... WHAT THE FLYING FUCK!?!?!? He gave Titanic a better score, even though you knew what was going to happen, in fact... he gave Pearl Harbor, a better score... WHAT THE FLYING FUCK

But then, I'm just a pathetic fanboy for purposefully bad jokes and groan-inducing puns. Give me a character who takes sick delight in torturing the audience with awful gags and I'm in love immediately.

[@e-mananimates2274]

Actually, what I meant to say is that some films aren't meant to be motion pictures, even if adapted perfectly. Take that Ratchet & Clank film for example. Even though it arguably is the best straight video game adaptation out there, it fails to appeal to a mainstream audience. Still, if you're a Ratchet fan, you'd likely find enjoyment in the film.

[@brandonspain12345]

This is honestly my favorite live action movie based on a cartoon for many reasons. Yes, it's genuinely funny and the 4th wall jokes are very clever at times, but for me, why I love it was because it was a faithful and respectful adaptation of the original cartoon. There was only one "hip-hop" joke and it had a purpose with Bullwinkle being convinced it's not the 60s anymore and foreshadows his antlers reflecting off electricity at the ending. See, purpose. They did things that fit within their personality and character from the show and they don't talk potty humor or have a single fart joke. The characters designs are 100% accurate designs from the show that had a reason why they don't look like photorealistic animals because they're already cell-shaded cartoons, especially now, they have to make the characters have real fur or semi-realistic body proportions and they could've easily had done that, but they went the extra mile to match the art style of the original series to a tea. And they went as far as getting the voice actor from the original cartoon, and the live action characters being celebrities makes sense when you know they've manifested into what Hollywood would've done to them in live-action. Because "They were attached to the project." But, I also felt the movie's message is honestly pretty deep. The main character is someone who adored the original cartoon since she was a kid a had looked up to them, but once she became an adult, everyone made her reject her childhood and make her a hard-nose, cold and determined person when she's actually a sweet person who's made to have _care and sympathy_ (get it?) But once she actually meets Rocky and Bullwinkle in person, that inner child is slowly coming out until she learns to keep in touch with her youthful self. I think we all relate to that because we all have that cartoon we love and we don't wanna grow up, but the world makes you put away childhood things by growing up. And there's nothing wrong with being who you are and what you like, personally and it's okay to keep in touch to your own inner child, no matter how old you are. And this was made in 2000, way before KZbin comments had people say "I remember this cartoon. So much better than the crap today." I feel like this movie was ahead of it's time with that message that had it come out today, it probably could've been a more respected movie, not because it's funny and faithful, but because of it's message it was trying to tell.

[@samuelbarber4154]

If we break another fourth wall the whole house is gonna come down.

[@guts7925]

We'll let the universe out if we leave each house with three walls.

[@nagtrimers1250]

And 1 year later the movie wreck it Ralph 2 came out. The trailer broke so many walls that i had to use math. See the original trailer for it and scroll down until you see my name. It is actually a highlighted reply.If you don’t wanna look here is the comment. “Well each 4 wall break happens when they make fun of themselves for each princess+Star Wars+muppet+marvel+Disney+Pixar that a total of : let’s see 14 Disney princesses so 14*4=56+4 for each other 4 wall joke=56*(10*4)=56+40= 96. If you want to use Deadpool’s formula which is 4th wall to the 4th power which translates for the movie 14^4+10^4= 38416+10000=48416!

[@allison6842]

honestly, this movie is proof that if you have a director and team who actually care about the source material it can turn out amazing! But sadly most directors want to mold the story to their expectations instead of looking at the source and make it just as lovable as the source. like have you seen what Hollywood did to hansel and Gretel? Alice in wonderland? THE CHRONICLES OF PRYDAIN (the black cauldron is by far the worst book adaptation ever... please read the books and you will see why...) they corrupted amazing tales that if done right could have been enjoyable! Roky and Bowinkle did it right by using the source material and keeping the characters in character, they kept what people loved about the show and they made it so cheesy it was like actually watching the cartoon but with real people!

[@joinmarch76]

All fair points, but in the Black Cauldron's defense, you can't deny that the Horned King is the only redeeming element of the film. The kickass design, the imposing atmosphere he creates whenever he's on screen. Oh, and being voiced by the great John Hurt doesn't hurt (pun not intended) much either.

[@Nephalem2002]

Yeah this was a pretty fun movie to watch.

[@KrisFrost4359]

I liked Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Besides, it IS a story that has been told a thousand different ways over the years, so making them adults wasn't really that bad. Alice in Wonderland I agree with, though. And Jesus Christ, what they've done to just about every Dr Seuss story ever.

[@professormultipurpose5244]

I remember seeing a mini interview for that new Woody Woodpecker film and all the staff could talk about was the laugh, and that was the most important part to them instead of, you know, honoring the source material. Now I start to see why so many of these things suck

[@Artista_Frustrado]

is not really a problem but a hidden joke, by that time people was thinking Internet was killing traditional cartoons, but also turns out everything in the internet pretty much will live forever

[@InsaneGamersOfficial]

From Wikipedia: "Fearless Leader is informed of Rocky and Bullwinkle's return and sends Boris and Natasha to destroy them. The two take a laptop with them called the CDI (standing for Computer Degenerating Imagery) which can specifically send animated cartoon characters to the Internet forever."

It was! Amadeus is amazing!

[@CorbennRDM]

Channel Awesome The real question is... are you Doug, tamera, Malcom, the list dude, or one of the interns

[@Fanimati0n]

I tried to enjoy it, but the historical inaccuracies took me out of it. I mean, Mozart and Antonio Salieri were friends, the death and lifestyle didn't fit history. I get that you sometimes have to suspend your disbelief, but that was too much for me.

[@sharkfinbite]

I liked it. I think this was a proper way to represent and reflect his feelings about how he disagreed with the hate towards it. I can tell by looking at the clips of this film why someone would hate it. It feels like it's another movie having the characteristics of a really absurd bad comedy movie. Though I think he felt like it suited the cartoon was originally. This is just his opinion though. It was bound for him to at some point disagree with the masses with how they felt about it. Everyone, including you and me, will at some point disagree with how others view a movie.

[@TimeTravelinc]

Katie Yes it was. It defiantly has the notes of Amadeus, but the tone is defiantly comical in nature. It's clever since, like many, he likes Amadeus. He even did a video titled, "How True is Amadeus?". Enjoy the review.

[@SuperSonicLoganSSL2006]

20:08 That statement Doug said just made my point of me doing videos as for voicing my plush characters, doing the cameraman part myself, editing the videos, editing my website, doing the social media part, uploading and all aka etc.

[@Jean-Paul-Lane-Valley]

Actually, that random weasel appeared in Roger Rabbit.

[@klimmr]

I'm in the movie!

[@klimmr]

One thing I question, why do some of the cartoon characters look 2D, some look CG and some of them come out in live-action?

[@Artista_Frustrado]

i assume because they're different art styles in their "source material" which i find is pretty cool if that was the intent

[@RialVestro]

Nope, because in their source material they were all 2D art styles. Also the movie itself even questions why Rocky and Bullwinkle are CGI but Boris, Natasha, and Fearless Leader are real people. I always just assumed it's because Rocky and Bullwinkle are anthropomorphic animals so they have to be CGI while making the villains CGI when they're human anyway it's easier to just hire actors that look the part rather than animating them.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

RialVestro fair enough
