Led by criminal mastermind Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro), Boris (Jason Alexander) and Natasha (Rene Russo) have devised a plot to take over the world...and while they're at it, get rid of moose and squirrel. It's up to Rocky and Bullwinkle to foil Fearless Leader's evil plot to unseat the President of the United States, through the creation of a new, omniscient, mindless TV network, RBTV (Really Bad Television), which will hypnotize the entire population by election day, unless young FBI agent Karen Sympathy (Piper Perabo), Rocky and Bullwinkle can thwart the plot. Other than the main characters, the film is teeming with some of the most beloved actors in comical cameo roles, including Jonathan Winters in three roles as the Whoppi Chopper Pilot, a cop and Jeb; John Goodman as a cop; Randy Quaid as FBI chief Cappy Von Trapment; Janeane Garofalo as a studio executive, Minnie Mogul; Carl Reiner as P.G. Biggershot; Whoopie Goldberg as a judge; Billy Crystal as a mattress salesman and James Rehborn as the President.

Editor's Note
A wild and wacky pun-filled cross-country romp, THE ADVENTURES OF ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE is a cinematic journey worthy of its television predecessor. Using cutting-edge technology in combining animation with live action, director Des McAnuff has created an eye-popping thrill ride littered with ridiculous, silly jokes that are probably making Bullwinkle creator Jay Ward roll around in his grave in laughter--and pride. A stellar cast, including Robert De Niro (Fearless Leader), Jason Alexander (Boris Badenov), Rene Russo (Natasha Fatale), Piper Perabo (FBI Agent Karen Sympathy), and Randy Quaid, keeps tongues firmly in cheek as they do battle over RBTV--Really Bad TV. June Foray wonderfully reprises her television role as Rocky, while Keith Scott does a fine job providing the voice for both Bullwinkle and the Narrator. This self-referential film lampoons elements of the road movie, the courtroom drama, the FBI thriller, the prison drama, and dozens of other Hollywood staples and cliches. Along the way Rocky and Bullwinkle meet up with the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, Carl Reiner, David Alan Grier, Don Novello, Janeane Garofalo, John Goodman, and Jonathan Winters in a series of comic mishaps reminiscent of IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD.
Plot Summary
Popular cartoon characters Rocky and Bullwinkle make their big-screen debut in this adventure tale that combines animation with live action. Years after their television show was canceled, Rocky and Bullwinkle are still living off the residuals. This time, when three cartoon villains enter the real world as real people, they decide to take over the United States. The FBI knows that the only way to stop Fearless Leader, Boris, and Natasha is to recruit Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose; however, when they enter the real world, they remain cartoon characters. Rocky and Bullwinkle, along with their FBI sidekick, Karen Sympathy, must travel from Hollywood to New York to foil Fearless Leader's fiendish plot to become president.
