The sad part is: they got the tone right. The self-deprecation, the lack of toilet humor, the satire, its biggest issue was that it wasn't funny. Even James Gunn's Scooby Doo was funnier than this.
And that right here is why I hold the Sonic the Hedgehog movies in high regard. The human actors in those movies were really good, and Jim Carrey stole the show every time he was on.

I legit love this movie though. It’s got some funny stuff. The part where they go to court and Judge cameo says “celebrities are above the law” and the case is immediately dismissed 😂
The part where the female human companion just leaves the love interest at the theatre to escape is what sticks in my mind the most. Mostly because it's what makes me think this was at one point trying to be a parody. Usually in movies like these the romantic interest wins out in the end and it feels forced. Here he's just a plot device. Well up until the very end of the movie that is.
Yeah that part's hilarious. I got to be honest well I don't think this movie is a masterpiece I don't think it's the burning garbage fire people say it is. Personally I think the only reason people like to get grumpy about this movie is because Robert De Niro is in it but let's be honest while this is not his best movie it's not his worst. In my opinion the worst movie of his is Dirty Grandpa.
After watching this review, I can kind of understand why there is some hatred for this film. Despite all the flaws and weird writing choices, I still love this movie to death and think it’s one of the better “cartoon-to-live action” adaptions. It borrows a lot of the humor and silly moments from the original tv series and doesn’t try to be something more than it is. Also I still think the cel shading CGi on R&BW really hold up well for early 2000s. Great roast as always!
It is. Lots of people just weren't fans of the cartoon so they didn't speak highly of the movie. And they were resentful that movies based on cartoons they did like turned out bad.
I agree. The movie is not that bad. Now it's understandable that people who hate bad puns are gonna hate the movie regardless. The real R&B fans know what's up, and absolutely love this movie.
Coyote Ugly deserves an episode if for nothing else being a big budget blockbuster trying to be a Michael Bay movie for a female audience while being shot like an (AND TWINS!) early Y2K Budweiser ad
People are still considering THIS a bad movie?!🤨 Even Doug Walker had since seen this as anything but that, I thought people's eyes were opened to this like with that live action Josie and the Pussycats film!
I remember seeing this as a kid and losing my mind when Keenan and Kel showed up. I was like “ Oh my God they’re in a major motion picture, their careers are about to takeoff and they’re gonna become superstars”. Well I was half right… eventually lol
Oh man, I remember this one. Even as a youngin I knew this was low budget slop... but I still remember it for some of my favorite bad jokes like the WH advisors with names like General Admittance and the prestigious institution Wassamata U
34:50 Forgetting as he did one vitally important piece of information... *I ain't a Cartoon no more!* 35:25 As they realise one problem... *No Helicopter*
Never thought I'd see DeNiro appear in a Rocky & Bullwinkle movie. Then again, this was post-Analyze This/Meet The Parents DeNiro when he was trying to get into comedies, even if they're bad.
And the difference between those 2 and this is that movies uses De Niro’s persona to their advantage along with funny scripts, well before the sequels to both. This is just embarrassing.
Seems like a lot of references to *It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World* .... the crazy road trip, flying the plane through the billboard, and Jonatrhan Winters.
Not gonna lie, this film has always been a guilty pleasure for me. 😂 I saw it in theaters as a kid and loved the OG show when it would rerun on Cartoon Network so I’ve got love for this movie. Was it the greatest??? Hell nahhhh yet it’s not the worst movie ever
The movie was 20 years too late. If an IP sits basically dormant for too long, the younger generations won't know it or have any affinity for it and the people who do are 50 or 60 years old which is too old to have young kids to take to see a children's film and they're too old to go by themselves. Look at an IP like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It got popular for a while, then it died off and went away, but then they brought it back when the kids who grew up on it had kids of their own and the cycle was able to repeat. Now that IP never seems to go away for more than a few years before it comes back to get the next group of kids. If Turtles died in 1990 and suddenly tomorrow a film is coming out about them, it would more than likely flop because they didn't do any of the ground work to get new fans before spending millions on a big film.
That's a good point. It does seem like the most financially successful live action movies based on animated adaptations are based on those that either are still fresh in its targets audiences mind (TMNT 1990) or based on franchises that never really went away (Scooby Doo, Flintstones, Garfield, etc.). Only exceptions I can think of are George of the Jungle, The Smurfs, and maybe Alvin and the Chipmunks; they weren't really doing much with those properties when the live action adaptations yet were surprisingly successful anyway. George at least had a hook beyond nostalgia (Brendan Fraser being half naked throughout the whole movie) as did Alvin (Cute Singing Rodents who sing your favorite songs) but what's Smurfs hook?
Same here. I don't think it's that bad either. The movie is quite accurate to the show. Even the show had jokes that sucked too. I just got a huge whiff of nostalgia when they covered this. I remember being 12 years old back in 2005, and this movie and the Rocky and Bullwinkle show were some of my favorites to watch.
Though there are two characters in the movie that are randomly referred to as "Moose and Squirrel" by the narrator at the very end of the movie for some odd reason other than it's an odd Easter egg.
I don’t care if this movie is bad, it’s one of my favorites growing up, it left a huge impact on me as it was the one of the first cartoon cgi live action hybrids and rocky and bullwinkle made me laugh in this movie along with Natasha and Boris and fearless leader, I even dressed up as rocky for Halloween, plus going back and seeing the adult humor in it just tickles me 😭
Heck. Some of the episodes had chock full of adult stuff that went over my head. Like the re-enactment of the civil war in the well known Wotsamota U episode.
@@rommix0exactly the show was ahead of its time, obviously not like the Simpsons or South Park and how they predict a lot of things but man this movie made me want to know more about rocky and bullwinkle
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle is such a strange adaptation because it tries to keep to the tone of the original cartoon but it has so many lame jokes and the direction was flat (mainly because the director was mainly known for theatre) Rene Russo and Jason Alexander were great in it as Natasha and Boris respectively
It's like this and Mystery Men were mixed up in my head for some reason. Just a couple of bizarre 1999 movies that wasn't The Mummy, The Phantom Menace or The Matrix, but they existed and I couldn't tell you why. Edit: Further proof of this is that I didn't even realize this came out in 2000.

It's just Universal Pictures' attempt to copycat Roger Rabbit Seriously it’s difficult to tell when an actor just gave up and started cashing paychecks lol. 🤣💵
Yet another Bad Movie Roast about a movie that ISN'T BAD. This movie properly captured Rocky and Bullwinkle's humor and interactions. A lot of people didn't like this movie, not because it's bad because it isn't, but because other cartoons turned into live action movies like Garfield or Alvin and The Chipmunks didn't get the same treatment. Those movies weren't as faithful to the source material and turned out bad so people resent Rocky and Bullwinkle. A lot of them are people who don't like the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon but do love Garfield and Alvin and The Chipmunks and think "Why does the cartoon i love get a bad movie but the cartoon I don't care about gets a good movie?" I can understand them resenting it but that's no reason to call it bad. And please nobody reply to this saying crap like "People hate it because it is bad" or "That's just your opinion." Let's not waste time with nonsense like that.
I will die on a hill to defend this movie. I'd say it perfectly captured the same writing and comedy of the original show it's based on extremely well. It's well casted, and even the moral message of keeping your inner child with you as an adult is still very relevant, especially in today's media. It's hard to hate on this movie honestly. It could've been a LOT worse with other live action movies like Smurfs or Scooby Doo.
> even the moral message of keeping your inner child with you as an adult is still very relevant Which makes the choice to call her character Karen Sympathy all the more painful. Her character was basically written at the last minute, and is the weakest part of an overall okay movie.
@@rommix0 I didn't have a problem with it nor her character. Probably one of the better live action human characters. She's basically an avatar for any other hardcore fan reliving their childhood memories with their hero watching the movie. (Also, IDC, her name basically being "Care-and-Sympathy" is so cute and clever.) Maybe it's because I grew up with the movie, but the message did connect to me growing up because I was in that depressed antsy phase that made me lonely and really hated the movie for a while just as I was being a edgelord teen that loved violent horror movies. It wasn't until I rewatched the movie that it resonated with me as an adult in a much positive way and it made me relate to my younger as a kid because, yeah, we all were like Karen no matter how embarrassing it sounds. And if a 24 year old movie that's universally hated can resonate with somebody through adulthood, what's wrong with that? 🤷♂ ️
I remember seeing this movie as a very young kid without knowing anything about the show. I guess I was just interested in finding out what this moose and this squirrel had to offer when it comes to a "comedy" movie. From what I could remember I think I did like Bullwinkle in the movie mostly because I thought that nasally voice of his was very amusing to listen to. And I did think Rocky was kind of cool being a literal flying squirrel with an aviator hat on.
In fairness to the cameos for some reason Universal Pictures just really loved to pack its 90s-00s family movies with cameos only the parents would notice; The Flintstones, The Little Rascals, CASPER as you mentioned, and Big Fat Liar. The Grinch 2000 kinda counts though it's more a cameo fest for character actors then movie stars.
I think the best thing about this movie is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It welcomes the weird, surreal, and cartoony antics the original series did and rolls with it. It takes tropes and gags and just gives you a good laugh or chuckle, like the old cartoons would. It might not be great, but it doesn't need to be. That's why it was special.
The original cartoon it's based on was basically that. Some jokes were very clever but others were so stupid. But that was part of the charm and they knew what they were doing. It was almost like they were smart about it. It's one of the reasons I love the live action George of the Jungle movie.
I grew up watching this movie in theaters when I was a little kid. Watched the original cartoon rerun on TV. At the time, we couldn't even figure it out. Was this movie any good? Until a decade ago, I re-watch it again, and I started to laugh, there's some good jokes and not as funny jokes.
As a kid growing up in the 90s, I LOVED Rocky & Bullwinkle and watched re-runs of it when I was little (I don't recall what channel). I was 9-10 when the live-action movie came out and remember how excited I was seeing the trailer in theaters for the first time: The 2D animated characters now being 3D in a live-action setting, the jokes, the action, Bullwinkle flying a plane as "Larger Than Life" by the Backstreet Boys played (I think that was my first time hearing that song), etc. It was the most hyped I'd been for such a premise since watching the Looney Tunes enter reality in the original Space Jam. Today, sadly, the "Stick popular cartoons in the real world, hijinks ensue, nostalgia bait" formula has been done to death and back. Honestly, I'm sick of beloved IPs I grew up with being subjected to this creatively exhausted treatment. I've seen this done to Sonic, Yogi Bear, The Smurfs, Lyle the Crocodile, and SO many more. It all strikes me now as another tired attempt to recapture the magic of Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Mary Poppins (There will NEVER be another Roger Rabbit, that subgenre's peak has passed; Give it a rest already). Nonetheless, I enjoyed this film and think back on it fondly.
Like the movie or not, at least it came off as more of a labor of love than the cynical cash grab adaptations that followed like those live action Smurfs and Scooby Doo movies and crap like that
I would enjoy it more now than in theatres as a kid. Especially after the bar was lowered by Smurfs,Alivin and the Chipmunks,Garfield,Jem live action🤣 I hope you like George of the Jungle live action
I know this movie isn't perfect, but I still enjoy it for what it is, at least it try to be faithful to original Source material, unlike other live action animated hybrid films.
I loved the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. But then saw previews for this movie and WHY? Why do you need to bring them into the real world? Why do they KEEP DOING this? You're never going to do it better than Roger Rabbit. Stop trying!
Who would have thought of the one actor to do a worse Robert De Niro Taxi Driver impression would be Robert De Niro himself.
I like to imagine that after seeing his performance being slaughtered by so many bad imitations in kid's movies he decided to kill the meme itself. By the time Alvin and the Chipmunks did it, it was already a decaying corpse of a joke.
When Bullwinkle saves the day at the end, I was surprised they didn’t make a Raging Bull joke after that.

Actually, the first Scooby-Doo was worse than Garfield and Alvin and the Chipmunks.
At least James Gunn's puts in some effort to be funny, this is the definition of lazy
Wait, there's a James Gunn Scooby-Doo??? 🤔
Edit: Oh wait, never mind. I didn't know he wrote the screenplay. 😅
And that right here is why I hold the Sonic the Hedgehog movies in high regard. The human actors in those movies were really good, and Jim Carrey stole the show every time he was on.

The movie was 20 years too late. If an IP sits basically dormant for too long, the younger generations won't know it or have any affinity for it and the people who do are 50 or 60 years old which is too old to have young kids to take to see a children's film and they're too old to go by themselves. Look at an IP like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It got popular for a while, then it died off and went away, but then they brought it back when the kids who grew up on it had kids of their own and the cycle was able to repeat.

It's like this and Mystery Men were mixed up in my head for some reason. Just a couple of bizarre 1999 movies that wasn't The Mummy, The Phantom Menace or The Matrix, but they existed and I couldn't tell you why.
Edit: Further proof of this is that I didn't even realize this came out in 2000.
Im here for the obligatory "Rocky & Bullshit" joke
Billy messed up by mentioning "Dunston Checks In", the guys have to do a roast on that soon! I don't remember much but I feel like there would be so much material for a Weekly Roast
7:02 corny jokes 🤷♂️

Rocky and Bullwinkle Movie is one of the biggest cinematic disasters ever!
It's just Universal Pictures' attempt to copycat Roger Rabbit
Seriously it’s difficult to tell when an actor just gave up and started cashing paychecks lol. 🤣💵
Yet another Bad Movie Roast about a movie that ISN'T BAD. This movie properly captured Rocky and Bullwinkle's humor and interactions. A lot of people didn't like this movie, not because it's bad because it isn't, but because other cartoons turned into live action movies like Garfield or Alvin and The Chipmunks didn't get the same treatment. Those movies weren't as faithful to the source material and turned out bad so people resent Rocky and Bullwinkle. A lot of them are people who don't like the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon but do love Garfield and Alvin and The Chipmunks and think "Why does the cartoon i love get a bad movie but the cartoon I don't care about gets a good movie?"
I can understand them resenting it but that's no reason to call it bad.
And please nobody reply to this saying crap like "People hate it because it is bad" or "That's just your opinion." Let's not waste time with nonsense like that.
Well it is Koreys opinion 😅
@editmanrgg2844 Yeah. A lot of people don't stick to facts when forming an opinion.
I will die on a hill to defend this movie. I'd say it perfectly captured the same writing and comedy of the original show it's based on extremely well. It's well casted, and even the moral message of keeping your inner child with you as an adult is still very relevant, especially in today's media. It's hard to hate on this movie honestly. It could've been a LOT worse with other live action movies like Smurfs or Scooby Doo.
> even the moral message of keeping your inner child with you as an adult is still very relevant
Which makes the choice to call her character Karen Sympathy all the more painful. Her character was basically written at the last minute, and is the weakest part of an overall okay movie.
@@rommix0 I didn't have a problem with it nor her character. Probably one of the better live action human characters. She's basically an avatar for any other hardcore fan reliving their childhood memories with their hero watching the movie. (Also, IDC, her name basically being "Care-and-Sympathy" is so cute and clever.)
Maybe it's because I grew up with the movie, but the message did connect to me growing up because I was in that depressed antsy phase that made me lonely and really hated the movie for a while just as I was being a edgelord teen that loved violent horror movies. It wasn't until I rewatched the movie that it resonated with me as an adult in a much positive way and it made me relate to my younger as a kid because, yeah, we all were like Karen no matter how embarrassing it sounds. And if a 24 year old movie that's universally hated can resonate with somebody through adulthood, what's wrong with that? 🤷♂ ️
@@brandonspain12345 Yeah I guess.
Man the show use to be on after Nick Arcade early in the Morning on Nickelodeon
Wow I don't remember that when it was Nick Arcade Early in The Morning
There are parts of this movie burned in my brain. I didn’t even care about this much, but I guess it’s memorable
To be fair, the movie introduced me to the music group Supertramp.
My mom had no shame renting this movie for us. And this the first movie I watched with Robert De Niro
Just came across your channel, love you guys chemistry! We may need to consider this one, I haven't seen it in years. Keep up the great content!
36:25 That was definitely a "say the line, Bart" moment.
I remember going to the movie theater to watch this film
Wait a tick, Rockey and Bullwinkle are computer animated in the real world, but the weasel was able to stay 2D? I don't get it.
Wow you guys never cease to Amaze me with these Movie Reviews 😂😁😂
The Rocky and bullwinkle movie is a really big guilty pleasure of mine as someone who’s a fan of the show
I remember seeing this movie as a very young kid without knowing anything about the show.
I guess I was just interested in finding out what this moose and this squirrel had to offer when it comes to a "comedy" movie.
From what I could remember I think I did like Bullwinkle in the movie mostly because I thought that nasally voice of his was very amusing to listen to.
And I did think Rocky was kind of cool being a literal flying squirrel with an aviator hat on.
This movie is something of a guilty pleasure for me.
In fairness to the cameos for some reason Universal Pictures just really loved to pack its 90s-00s family movies with cameos only the parents would notice; The Flintstones, The Little Rascals, CASPER as you mentioned, and Big Fat Liar. The Grinch 2000 kinda counts though it's more a cameo fest for character actors then movie stars.
...Hear me out. LMAO it's bad, no doubt but I'm telling you, this movie was a STAPLE of my childhood. This made me a Rocky and Bullwinke fan.
I actually like this movie
They always show off Rocky's ability to fly. But I don't recall them ever exploring Bullwinkle's ability to run on water as a moose.
I remember loving this movie as a kid. Would watch it anytime it was on cable. Mostly for Piper Perabo, but I loved the cartoon too
Oh man, haven't thought this movie in like 15 years lmao
Me either
this movie is good actually
Need to do Dudley do right now 😂
10:55 Boris was blocking fearless leader from a better tunnel view. No wonder he was whipped.😅
This movie is a guilty pleasure for me. I love it 😂
Same here.
I think the best thing about this movie is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It welcomes the weird, surreal, and cartoony antics the original series did and rolls with it. It takes tropes and gags and just gives you a good laugh or chuckle, like the old cartoons would.
It might not be great, but it doesn't need to be. That's why it was special.
The original cartoon it's based on was basically that. Some jokes were very clever but others were so stupid. But that was part of the charm and they knew what they were doing. It was almost like they were smart about it. It's one of the reasons I love the live action George of the Jungle movie.
My childhood film looking back at hilarious bad
I grew up watching this movie in theaters when I was a little kid. Watched the original cartoon rerun on TV. At the time, we couldn't even figure it out. Was this movie any good? Until a decade ago, I re-watch it again, and I started to laugh, there's some good jokes and not as funny jokes.
Like some people say, the movie was a mixed bag.
To be fair tho, the show was also a mixed bag.
40:55 Bullwinkle: Hey, I’m A Lover, Not A Shooter!!! 🤷🏽♂️
I love the casting
Robert De Niro, Jason Alexander, and Rene Russo were perfect as Fearless Leader, Boris Badenov, and Natasha Fatale.
Me Too & The Cast Was Alright
36:16 Are you Talking to Me?
Hey, shout out to Choda Boy there at 46:43 Man, I love him lol. And as usual, been looking forward to this upload all week, DT :)
23:47 drawing a demonic pentagram on the floor and sacrifice a goat?
Dudley Dooright better be on the way after this!
3:41 Dunston Checks In! Future bad movie roast? (it was pretty good but would be hilarious roast)
I love Dunston Checks In!! 😁
Thumbnail Looking like De Niro is doing his best “Gus” impersonation from Breaking Bad.
As a kid growing up in the 90s, I LOVED Rocky & Bullwinkle and watched re-runs of it when I was little (I don't recall what channel). I was 9-10 when the live-action movie came out and remember how excited I was seeing the trailer in theaters for the first time: The 2D animated characters now being 3D in a live-action setting, the jokes, the action, Bullwinkle flying a plane as "Larger Than Life" by the Backstreet Boys played (I think that was my first time hearing that song), etc.
It was the most hyped I'd been for such a premise since watching the Looney Tunes enter reality in the original Space Jam. Today, sadly, the "Stick popular cartoons in the real world, hijinks ensue, nostalgia bait" formula has been done to death and back. Honestly, I'm sick of beloved IPs I grew up with being subjected to this creatively exhausted treatment.
I've seen this done to Sonic, Yogi Bear, The Smurfs, Lyle the Crocodile, and SO many more. It all strikes me now as another tired attempt to recapture the magic of Who Framed Roger Rabbit or Mary Poppins (There will NEVER be another Roger Rabbit, that subgenre's peak has passed; Give it a rest already). Nonetheless, I enjoyed this film and think back on it fondly.
If you think this was bad, try watching "Boris and Natasha: The Movie" (1992)!
18:05 Funny enough Bobby is still like that, lmaooo
52:44 this is the moment all of double toasted lost their minds 😂
Godspeed, June Foray; you were a golden oldie.
I know this movie is wacky but the cameos, the meta jokes and the accurate adaption makes it very endearing
DeNiro was also in Meet The Parents the same year.. which was funny
Like the movie or not, at least it came off as more of a labor of love than the cynical cash grab adaptations that followed like those live action Smurfs and Scooby Doo movies and crap like that
16:58 You too David Alan Grier? Got pulled into this Rocky Bull- winkle.😁
The irony of the sponsorship because im always playing snap while watching Double Toasted 😂
I also remember a Boris and Natasha movie, that didn’t have Rocky and Bullwinkle.
You guys gotta do the that New Tyler Perry series
Honestly i know you guys love this one.
One of tyler Perry's Best
My father is a huge R&B fan, so we went to see this as well as the Dudley Do-Right film in the theater. That movie definitely should be Roasted 😂
38:42 If they listened to the "Kenan & Kel" theme song that's exactly how they was marketed.
Some things just don't fit a full length format.
Despite being born in 1993, my babysitter always had Rocky & Bullwinkle on. I was one of the weird kids excited for this movie 😂
I Read Janeane Garofalo struggled with alcoholism, giving up drinking in 2001
This was a staple of my childhood, I always loved how bad it was lmao. Great review double toasted
38:03. I didn’t know Keenan and Kel were in this. lol.
I would enjoy it more now than in theatres as a kid. Especially after the bar was lowered by Smurfs,Alivin and the Chipmunks,Garfield,Jem live action🤣
I hope you like George of the Jungle live action
I know this movie isn't perfect, but I still enjoy it for what it is, at least it try to be faithful to original Source material, unlike other live action animated hybrid films.
The cast is stacked!!
Yet another Double Toasted review that made me laugh harder than the film itself ever did, especially at 40:00 to 41:00.
I used to watch the VHS of this one *constantly.*
I loved the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. But then saw previews for this movie and WHY? Why do you need to bring them into the real world? Why do they KEEP DOING this?
You're never going to do it better than Roger Rabbit. Stop trying!
But then again, if you were asked to make a live action Rocky and Bullwinkle movie, how would YOU do it any better?
@@brandonspain12345 I'd say, no, that's a bad idea, let's make a cartoon
As a kid of the 2000s, I came because kenen and kel were advertised to be in it 😂😂
I haven't watch R&B since I was a child, however, I seem to recall that Natasha always had to do all the heavy lifting.
This cast is amazing.
