The Bullwinkle Show (TV Series) Fun on the Freeway or The Quick and the Dead/Bullwinkle Makes a Movie or The Feature from Outer Space (1961) User Reviews

During an Election Year . . .

. . . the most relevant portion of The Bullwinkle Show, Season 2, Episode 45 is, of course, the bit titled Bullwinkle's Corner: FAN CLUB #4. During this film, the last angry moose conducts a leadership contest for this program's group of swipe rights. Cast and crew take pains to demonstrate all the pit and pratfalls that will result when an organization's officers fail to strictly adhere to either Robert's Rules of Order or The Marquis of Queen's Berry dictates. Bullwinkle's chairmanship leaves a lot to be desired, as the proposed effort to install new faces at the top proves more precarious than touching up the heads on Mount Rushmore.

If a princess has her heart set on a prince . . .

. . . it seems unlikely that she'd settle for a miner. Yet the lead title character of the broken fairy tale about THE PRINCES AND THE GOBLINS appears to be totally oblivious to the fact that the heir-apparent to the gobbling throne is totally smitten with her, and keeps throwing herself at the grimy coal extractor just because he tries to rhyme "violets" with "blue." What is causing this Royal Wrench to turn her back upon True Love? For one thing, the King Her Pops has waited way too long to instruct her in the ways of the Bees and the Birds. Secondly, he seems to have instilled strong anti-gobbling prejudices in the mind of his offspring. Finally, this dirt-obsessed dame seems to have a propensity to grovel in deep depressions.

Not since THE :PRODUCERS' hilarious . . .

. . . "Springtime for Henry" dance number has America been so enthralled by a show-within-a show as when they enjoyed FUN ON THE FREEWAY or THE QUICK AND THE DEAD. Viewers of the conclusion of "The Last Angry Moose" saga will get as much of a kick watching their favorite antlered citizen toting around his mattress wallet as they had seeing Gene Kelly twirling around a lamp post as he sang in the rain. BULLWINKLE MAKES A MOVIE or THE FEATURE FROM OUTER SPACE will bring a smile to the face of those with fond memories of PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE and A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. This film brings the hope for a more benign Henry--and Germany.

Short Stuff

[Hitchcoc · 10/10 · 9 March 2021]

Bullwinkle's acting career has many bumps along the way, but ultimately he finds himself in a film, directed by Alfred Hitchhike (Boris Badenov). But the results are surprising. Special features are a fairy tale, "The Princess and the Goblins" where poetry turns out to be a great weapon. And Dudley's efforts have the entire Mountie camp riding rocking horses. A really good half hour.
