Remember, this is an election year.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Story Line:</B> Rocky is a flying squirrel, and Bullwinkle is a moose, whose cartoon TV show was canceled 35 years ago. They have retired to Frostbite Falls, MN, and are fairly happy, except that all the trees have been cut down and they want them replanted. A producer, sitting in her office, is negotiating with Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro) on TV. Now is the time to begin to suspend your belief and just enjoy the rest of the ride. When he hands the producer the contract to sign, Fearless Leader grips her arm so tightly that he and his two partners in crime, Boris and Natasha, are pulled from TV Land into reality (of sorts). This is by far the best use of Computer Generated Images (CGI) I've seen, as the interrelation between the cartoon characters and humans is wonderfully realistic. </div> <bR> <div> Fearless Leader plans to win the presidential election by buying up cable TV stations across the country and "zombiefying" the electorate with his new network. The call letters, RBTV, mean Really Bad TV. He dispatches his assistants, Natasha (Rene Russo) and Boris (Jason Alexander), to search out and get rid of Rocky and Bullwinkle. When the cartoon show was on TV 35 years ago, they were the foils to Fearless Leader's plans of evil.</div> <bR> <div> FBI agent Karen Sympathy (Piper Perabo) is given the assignment to bring Rocky and Bullwinkle out of cartoon retirement to fight the Fearless Leader. They are in LA and must make it to NYC before the election that is to be held in a few days. Agent Sympathy tries to escort Rocky and Bullwinkle across country while constantly evading the assassination attempts of Natasha and Boris. Cappy (Randy Quaid) gives Agent Sympathy her assignment and plays a wonderful over the top politician who understands both the cartoon and real worlds. The scary part is that they don't seem that different from one another. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Tell Me More About It</B>: Like <I>Chicken Run</I>, this is an excellent animation feature. It's a little more fun because the subject is more light hearted and the humor comes so fast it's hard to laugh at the new joke because you are still laughing at the old one. There are great cameo appearances by David Alan Grier, Jonathan Winters, Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal.  </div> <bR> <div> The creativity with which Rocky and Bullwinkle are released from cartoon retirement is worth seeing the movie, almost by itself. Boris and Natasha have a CDI (computer degenerating image) machine, which is one way to get rid of Rocky and Bullwinkle. The CDI machine is capable of reversing your DNA code to nothing, and it will send you where all junk goes, on the Internet. </div> <bR> <div> Rocky and Bullwinkle have not seen the franchising of America, and when they go through a second town, Bullwinkle asks, "Haven't we been to this town before?" Hollywood really does have fun with itself when a case is dismissed because "Celebrities are above the law". </div> <bR> <div> I'm not a big fan of seeing a movie twice regardless of how great it is. The best movies can provide multiple layers of information while entertaining you at the same time, the first time you see it. <I>Rocky and Bullwinkle</I> is so creative and so funny, that I might have to make an exception to the rule. </div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="591" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="VOID" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="587"><div> PG (mild language)</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="587"><div> George O.
