The
series lead way to 'Rocky and His Friends' in
1959, co-created with Alex Anderson. Often credited
as an early version of the Bullwinkle Show,
the prime time cartoon premiered in November
29th at 6:30pm on ABC. The series was an instant
hit among children and adults. Kids loved the
witty characters, while adults enjoyed the social
commentaries and satire. The show starred Rocky,
the flying squirrel, Bullwinkle, his motley
friend, and the two Pottsylvanian spies, Boris
and Natasha.
While The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle
flip flopped from local stations to Nickeloden
(they renamed it Moose-O-Rama?!) in the early
90's the fans remain true, supporting the series.
Luckily the moose and squirrel found a stable
home in 1996 when Turner Broadcasting's Cartoon
Network picked up the series. The channel now
has become a meeting place for other of classic
cartoons. In 1998, Cartoon Network also acquired
the rights to The Dudley Do-right Show, making
it the ultimate place for Rocky and Bullwinkle
fans. Today Rocky and Bullwinkle still live
on in national commericals and the hearts of
viewers.

BULLWINKLE:
This seemingly dense and ignorant moose is
wise about some things. Most of the time he
gets by on sheer luck. He is Bullwinkle J.
Moose, citizen of Frostbite Falls, Minnesota,
president of Moosylvania, best pal of Rocket
J. Squirrel. He is known for being the stupidest
in America. Bullwinkle spends most of his
time with Rocky, trying to catch the bad guys,
Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Bullwinkle
is brown and fuzzy, doesn't always wear clothing,
but wears size 22 shoes. Bullwinkle is single.
ROCKY:
He's the brainy flying squirrel. He lives
with Bullwinkle Moose, in Frostbite Falls.
He is a real sleuth, Boris and Natasha's imminent
downfall. He never goes anywhere without his
cap and goggles. Rocky is gray, and unlike
what some sources say, his nose is gray, too,
not black. He is a single squirrel. Rocky
is currently running for President. Support
him!
BORIS:
He's a very evil little man. He works with
Natasha Fatale. Both doing mean things to
the world. Rocky and Bullwinkle, who defend
the innocent from the evil plans of Boris
and Natasha. Boris has no friends. Just enemies,
or so he says. He is taller than Rocky and
wears a black suit and hat. Boris has never
defeated Rock and Bullwinkle. He is very unlucky.
NATASHA:
She's the very mean lady that
works with Boris Badenov to make the world
a mean place. She works for Fearless Leader
along with Boris.! Natasha doesn't seem to
be a strong character. Little is known about
Natasha, besides her strong Pottsylvanian
heritage and her tendency for meanness. There's
talk that her character had something to do
with the affects of the Cold War on Americans,
but according to her, she knows no such thing!
DUDLEY DO-RIGHT:
This RCMP (Royal Canadian Mountie Police)
camp in which he lives and works to fight
crime. His arch nemesis is the evil Snidely
Whiplash, a gray fellow who has one thing
on his mind....mischief. Dudley is constantly
in pursuit of him. Dudley's superior, the
respectful Inspector Fenwick, has a lovely
daughter, Nell, who is Dudley's lady friend.
She is kind and sweet, and really likes Dudley's
horse, "Horse," a lot. Dudley has received
many awards for his bravery. Hopefully someday
he can catch Snidely Whiplash and keep him
behind bars.
