The Raccoons = Positive Children (hopefully) NOTICE: The following may portray me as a Raccoons fanboy, but rest assured -- I am a fan of The Raccoons inspite of my rugged past related to my time with the series.
I seem to notice that most of Children's TV these days are sending kids mixed messages like Fitting In is the right way to go and shit like that but, messages in teenage sitcoms and other shows that Nick and Disney Channel airs (i.e. Hannah Montana, That's So Raven, Unflabulous) often lead to: hate, aggresiveness, being a loner and discrimination There is one show from the past inspite of the decade it originated that can be a great tool to NOT ONLY entertain your kids but to educate them as well. That show my friends is "The Raccoons" I know this may sound a bit awkward that a 1980s cartoon from Canada can educate kids inspite that ALL of the toons at that time spew out morals without rhyme or reason but, The Raccoons puts the lessons and morals within the story of each episode along with the consequences of each of the lessons within the show's episodes First off, unlike toons today (excluding "Chowder"), "The Raccoons" has likeable characters that might be decent role models for not only your children but for various other members of the family as well Bert Raccoon - Role Model for All Members of the family (Bert may have a childish attitude but, he is a mature character) Ralph and Melissa - Role Model for Young Couples/Parents Lisa Raccoon - Role Model for Teenagers Bentley Raccoon - Role Model for Kids (He learns what's right & wrong the hard way) If there is one episode that kids need to see and to learn from, that episode will be "Join The Club". That episode teaches two things, Don't Do Drugs and Fitting In is not the most important thing in the world Lisa Raccoon (voiced by Lisa Lougheed - The main singer of the show's songs) is the main focus in this episode as she was forced to smoke cigarettes to fit in with her old "friend" Donna, unfortunately it leads her to misery but Lisa Raccoon's dream sequence in this episode is the eye opener that will give you the motivation to not do drugs at all Although the episode has mutiple plots like Bert and Cedric trying to save their clubhouse because the country club procalims their clubhouse as an "eye sore" and Cyril trying to join a country club for rich people so he can do business, It is an episode that kids should watch and learn for the good of their future That point aside, The Raccoons is one of those cartoons that stood the tests of time It has very likeable characters, Great stories with lessons to learn along the way, great music, very well planned humor and of course it has the only villian that has character development (Cyril Sneer) However, It's a pity that we (as americans) ignored this great series as we HARDLY gave it a chance.

Viva la Nostalgia Introducing one of the cartoons that brought me back to the classic cartoon fandom, The King and Odie | | Tuesday, May 20th, 2008 | | 2:49 pm |
Anime Fanbrats, more like Anime Nazis! "When Der Fuehrer says, "We ist der master race" We HEIL! HEIL! Right in Der Fuehrer's face" I respect the opinions of BigAl2k6, T4-TV and various other ranters on YouTube but, what's pissing me off is that anime fanboys are ruining everything for those who love the art form on account that they don't like overrated animes like Naruto, Death Note, One Piece or Bleach. These "fanbrats" as the ranters describe them is similar to Nazis for some reason but, let me me say a few things to the extremist anime fanboys or "anime fanbrats": GET A FUCKING LIFE! Not everyone likes the anime you like. personally, I find Naruto kinda boring where as One Piece it's nearly interesting because there's fantasy involved. I bet the reason people love Naruto is because it's the only hardcore anime on TV, whoopdedoo, Hey! you want hardcore? go watch fansubs of both Ginga Nagareboshi Gin (Silver Fang) and Ginga Densetsu Weed now THOSE are hardcore. Seriously, what happened to anime? when i was young, Anime was fun becuase there was Noozles, Speed Racer, Maya The Bee, Astroboy, The Litl' Bits, The Adventures of The Little Koala, Samurai Pizza Cats and Grimm's Fairy Tales now Anime that does get licensed here have little to no fantasy involved like Naruto for example. I'm not fond of various Shonen Jump anime outside of Bo-BoBo and Ultimate Muscle on account of the plots are not my cup of tea and if you don't like my opinons then tough shit!! Nowadays, The only anime i'm fond of is Kaiketsu Zorori becuase fantasy is the best way to keep anime fresh and Zorori does just that Anime "Fanbrats" cool down, quit dictating the public and watch different anime like Silver Fang and Kaiketsu Zorori That's it for me, Have a nice day!

The Cattanooga Cats For those whom love The Banana Splits/Danger Island expect me to diss this 1969-1971 cult classic, GET A LIFE! The Cattanooga Cats may have came out of the popularity of The Banana Splits but, Nowadays The Banana Splits can possibly put you to sleep like say Mutt (of the "Funday PawPet Show") gets to sleep whenever someone puts on the "Tank Girl" movie. allow me to explain the reasons 1. The hosts (Fleegle and gang) have dry humor 2. The only thing Banana Splits related that is enjoyable is "The Banana Splits in Hocus Pocus Park" (Unfortunately, Boomerang NEVER aired it!) 3. The cartoons are dull 4. Danger Island is slow-paced and utterly bad 5. The songs are meh. I mean, i bet nobody could understand what the fuck they were singing outside of "Doing The Banana Split Yeah!" The Cattanooga Cats (inspite of how they came to be) is much more enjoyable The cartoons including The Cats themselves are more fun to watch than say the toons on The Banana Splits The characters are more attractive and likeable than those on The Banana Splits The music is has lyrics people can understand alot more than The Banana Splits (much to the dismay of those who mock the show on account of the debatable tune "My Birthday Suit") The humor is more enjoyable because the puns are done in well planned out visual gags not to mention Teeny Tim's tricks and Scoots's Magic Crayon will make you laugh I leave y'all with a tune from the cats and a link that will let you go Directly to a Yahoo! Group dedicated to the show http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cattanooga_cats/ Current Mood:  bouncy | | Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 | | 5:46 pm |
Songs that Kids of This Generation should listen to The Sad Truth is that even though there are some good tunes in the today's music, Kids these days are only listening to Gangsta Rap (all thanks to Viacom and MTV) If you have kids, Don't brainwash them with Gangsta Rap tunes Here are three examples of tunes Kids of This Generation should listen to (p.s. They are more enjoyable than Gangsta Rap) "Remember You're A Womble" by The Wombles "Run With Us" by Lisa Lougheed "This Song" by George Harrison this is a serious matter Gangsta Rap is influencing your kids to do/smoke illegal drugs and demean Women/Girls ScrewAttack G1 "Kraid" has an intelligent remark on the matter "The most important thing is to communicate with your childrens. I'll be the first one to denigrate modern rap but when it comes to what you think your children should listen it's all about communication and bonding with your child. Don't go and blame Video games or TV or Music on anything. If you haven't sat down and talked about these issues with your kids and you don't care, you should really think on who's responsible for all their behaviors. My main point being that all genre of music in our Era is so crappy that there is little to none artists or albums worthy off getting our attention. Thus showing the kiddos what real music is all about" If you have any children, I highly consider/recommend that you let them listen to tunes from decades' past like the 3 aformetioned above like my parents did for me when i was young in the 1980s Current Mood:  sad | | Saturday, January 5th, 2008 | | 6:22 pm |

Writer's Block: Warning:
Warning: Any one worshiping the ACLU should die! | | Saturday, November 10th, 2007 | | 2:03 pm |
Christmas Season is a tad bit early this year?
Previously, I gave you my issues about the Holiday season that is Christmas
Now, For some unknown reason Christmas Season began a bit early this month here in South Carolina
My local Oldies radio station "Y102.5" is now airing Christmas tunes on their station as i'm typing this entry
Personaly, I have nothing against Christmas but Starting this early is leaving me a bit puzzled
but, Whatever... There one thing that always pisses me off
The ACLU sabotaging this time of year
but, At least someone in the US hates this more than i am
As of now, I'll let this the early Christmas season launch slide
If you have this goin' on in your town, Y'all should do the same and enjoy it
but, We should fight the ACLU for doing this kind of shit to our nation
That's all for now, I leave you with "Let's Have a Patrick Swayze Christmas"
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! :3

My Gripes: The Holiday Season -=Note: I know it's 2 months early but, I have to get this outta my chest=- Unless you a bit clueless, here's what the beginning of the holiday season is in a nutshell (courtesy of John Boy & Billy's Mad Max) The Holiday Season (or if your not fond of being PC, "The Christmas Season") I love that time of year but, Some parts of it i'm not fond of 1. The Christmas Rush (as Mad Max noted in said rant) 2. Animated Christmas Specials involving Saving Santa Claus or The entire Christmas holiday [the summary of every christmas special made since 1999] 3. Stale Holiday TV Movies: outside of "Santa and Pete", Every Christmas TV film (especially those for ABC Family) are very mediocre, Hell - NBC also had the nerve to do a bastardized live-action remake of "The Year Without A Santa Claus" here's proof  4. TBS looping "A Christmas Story": I love the movie but, Why the hell does TBS have to loop the same movie all day on December 24th? 5. Tedious Christmas Films: Films like "Deck The Halls", "The Santa Clause" (1 through 3) and the upcoming "Fred Claus" are basically tedious ideas from Hollywood to attract the entire family into the box office for the Holiday season It's a shame specials like "The Bear That Slept Through Christmas", "Jingle Bell Rap" and "Yes Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus" are no longer airing on TV, Sure they still air the classic Rankin/Bass specials but, The sad news is that ABC Family (whom airs the specials on their annual "25 Days of Christmas" event) butchers them either for time and commercial breaks (on which they have a lot) or for no reason at all. But, There's a few good things i love about the Holiday season 1. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2. Miracle on 34th Street (the classic one) 3. It's a Wonderful Life 4. The Rockafeller Tree Lighting Ceremony 5. Togetherness 6. Decorating The Tree 7. Waiting for Santa Claus (Yes, I still believe in Santa Claus) 8. Listening to Christmas Music 9. Cookies!! 10. A Christmas Story Well, That's all on my gripe of the holiday season I'm still planning on what to get my family this christmas, later!

Leave The IRATE Gamer Alone! unless you live under a rock during AVGN's popularity, This is The IRATE Gamer Chris Bores is the 2nd most entertaining video game ranter on the internet but, most of ScrewAttack's G1s and a few of YouTube's members don't think likely of him... They see him a definite AVGN rip-off (on which James Rolfe hates these kinds of fuckers) I saw all of The IRATE Gamer's videos, Sure there are some similarities between his videos and the AVGN's videos but the rest of what he does in his videos are all original I too am a bit skeptical of why he's removing these anti-IRATE Gamer videos but, calling a video game ranter an AVGN ripoff is like calling a black man a "Happy Negro" The IRATE Gamer (Chris Bores) and Angry Video Game Nerd (James Rolfe) both attend colleges and both professional amature film makers but, It doesn't mean you should portray him of as a AVGN ripoff (a bullcrap term that silenced a few VG Ranters like The Fat Mann) in closing: SHUT YER MOUTH, SIT ON IT... in other words: stop dissin' video game ranters and let the do their thing!

Out of Jimmy's Head (Review) When i heard of the film Re-Animated i was interested, and then I watched it of the day of it's premiere.. It's a good movie Flash Forward to a few months after Re-Animated premiered, Cartoon Network decided to make a series based on their "Smash hit" movie, to them: big ratings = smash hit... anyway at the time, it was announced it was titled "Re-Animated: The Series" Flash Forward to this year, "Re-Animated The Series" is now called "Out of Jimmy's Head" Last time, I said i rather watch the antics of Bert Raccoon and The Cattanooga Cats than see a poor man's Rodger Rabbit series Well, After what i'm gonna tell you from what i saw from a DVR'd episode of the show... You see I still stand on my objection toward the show from my last editorial ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- -------- It's painly clear that's geared towards tweens to pre-teens (in a nutsell: The same age group whom watch the trash currently on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel) The animated characters is the only thing that made the show mildly entertaining, The rest is all a big crap shoot not even Jimmy Robert's oddball family and the late Milt Applegate's evil brother can't save this shit load of fuck On a personal note: Basil Brush is more funnier than Tux the PenguinIn closing: I still stand that I should rather watch the antics of Bert Raccoon and The Cattanooga Cats than see this poorman's Rodger Rabbit Re-Animated is indeed a good TV film but, Seeing now that they made a TV show out of it.. you can bet your bahookie that the novelty on which the film provided will die very quickly on the series Therefore, I give the series... (*Wait For It!*).... 1.5 fox paw prints outta 10 Don't watch this show! Current Mood: disappointedCurrent Music: The Beatles - Across the Universe | | Tuesday, September 11th, 2007 | | 4:36 pm |
My Latest Editorial (NSFW): Basil Brush and Bert Raccoon good, Golly Gopher bad Before i begin, I would like to state i have nothing against this video due to it's a cleaver satire on the crappy, sexist and unlistenable state of hip hop ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------- The quality of TV programming is in a uneven balance, My guess it's all on account of 9/11.. but, that's my opinion The cartoons today I vaguely watch due to I rather watch the antics of The Cattanooga Cats or Bert Raccoon than see some poorman's Rodger Rabbit (Out of Jimmy's Head) and most of the shows on TV is pretty fucking lame, while there are some exceptions like: Just For Laughs, Don't Forget The Lyrics, i-Caught, Clean House, Last Comic Standing, America's Got Talent, The Power of 10, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, etc. -- the rest is basically one feud line after another, plus these Rating Conscious programs remind me of Woodstock '99 (it's chaotic, just like most of the programming on TV today) Kids/Family aimed programming is not to pleasing either outside of the shows i mentioned, Even though i am impressed that "High School Musical 2" is the highest rated TV movie in the history of cable... I'm still UN-impressed at the quality of CN, Disney Channel and Nickelodeon Like for example.. Cartoon Network currently announced that they are airing 30 episodes of the Goosebumps TV series (The live-action series based on the popular R.L. Stine series of books on which it was originally canned from Fox Kids) throughout the entire month of October just to celebrate Halloween, how fucked up is that? Plus, I bet the morons they hire to plan the line-up for the aformentioned channels don't know jack shit about decent programming Why don't these Idjits pick some good shows? I wouldn't mind if CN airs The Raccoons or Untalkative Bunny (or both) or if Nickelodeon or even Qubo (preferably on NBC) airs The Basil Brush Show, I would watch them Why? They are entertaining! but, Seeing that these channels (and Network TV) are hungry for ratings hence all the decline in quality thanks to gar-bitch ideas for shows like Kid Nation.. It's just a pipe dream :( Current Mood: frustrated | | Friday, August 31st, 2007 | | 2:17 am |
Woody Woodpecker DVD review For those who read my edititorials (mainly the GAF forums) know, I enjoy classic animation and When i found out the announcement of "The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection" DVD via Cartoon Brew (i am a occuring visitor of that site) I was excited A month ago, I pre-order this and Brain Age 2 at Amazon.com, Which (in a irony stlyed manner) took a month and nearly a fraction of the whole month after to get here (they arrived on August 27th) anyway, on to the review Content: The video quality is astounding, Not a hint of DVNR in sight. The cartoons within the DVD set (all 3 discs of it) are all hillarious but, The Walter Lantz produced Oswald cartoons are both interesting and entertaining but, only 1 toon in the whole set has a minor edit at the end despite the claim that the set is entirely uncut (9.5 fox paw prints out of 10) Special Features: Each of the 3 DVDs have special features but, The "Spook-A-Nanny" special on the last disc is the most interesting one of the bunch. A few of the GAC members whom own this set are a bit concerned about this due to the fact that most of the footage is in Black in White, I (in my humble opinion) would probably let this issue slide.. Probably NBC Universal didn't have the entire color print, I'll give them the benefit of a doubt for trying to restore the special the best way possible. (10 fox paw prints out of 10) Fun Factor: The humor is way out there on this DVD set, especially the Tex Avery produced toons are hillarious Summary - If your hankerin' for a classic cartoon fix seeing that most of the toons on TV today is a load of gar-bitch, This is for you. However, If your one of those pitiful current-gen cartoon fanatics that love adult humor (i.e. Family Guy, South Park).. This might not be for you!
Note to the Current-Gen Cartoon Nuts: GET A LIFE! , but seriously -- You must look beyond what you see on TV now and enjoy the toons of the past. Y'all must realize that Adult Humor is like candy.. The flavor is great but, It doesn't last for very long. Where as Classic Animation (i.e. The Raccoons, The King and Odie, The Cattanooga Cats, Woody Woodpecker) The humor is pracitcally endless.

Cyber's Talking Points (08-21-2007) This is how i felt now when i flashedback to the Mario Bros. film my brother ( http://malamiteltd.sheezyart.com/) and i saw many years ago satirical irony aside, Here's my editorial.... Cartoons are doing great and bad this year bad on TV (i.e. Out of Jimmy's Head) yet, Wonderastical on DVD releases The nostalgic factor keeps getting better and better with every announcment, this year we got the following on DVD: Cool McCool, Underdog (due to the crappy movie), The Archie Show, Wait 'Till Your Father Gets Home, Tom and Jerry, Popeye and others Recently these current DVD announcements excite me - Wish For Wings That Work: I saw it when it was on network TV, It's great to see it again.. and at $15.00 too! - Felix The Cat: Golden Anniversary Edition (1958-1959): All the episodes of the Trans-Lux series "The Adventures of Felix The Cat", I love that show when i was young! - Looney Tunes: Golden Collection Vol. 5: Even though i never gotten the last 4 volumes due to Warner Bros.' rediculous price tags, This one is on my must have list for 3 reasons... 1. Senorella and The Glass Hurache 2. Private Snafu & Captain Hook shorts and 3. Bugs and Daffy's Carnival of the Animals - Pink Panther: A Pink Christmas: All 3 early 1980s Pink Panther TV specials on 1 DVD and priced @ $15.00, I'm Sold! Movies are looking great this year Transformers was a breath taker, Ratatouille was a entertaining (especially it's opening short), Hairspray is a lot of fun, Evan Almighty on the other hand was alright for a continuity piece to a Jim Carey film Mr. Bean's Holiday is releasing this week, I believe it will be funny as heck.. I love the Mr. Bean series, His last film was highly entertaining so the 2nd film must be great Despite my brother believing i'm off my rocker because of this, I'm still looking forward to these films... Across The Universe Enchanted Be Kind Rewind and.. Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium but, even though 3 mediums (video games, Movies, DVD) are having some great stuff for folks like me this year I'm thrilled -=End Of Line=- | | Thursday, August 9th, 2007 | | 4:08 pm |
Movies of 2007 :3 It seems to be a great year for movies here's what i saw and my opinions of them Evan Almighty: Even though it's a bit of continuity of "Bruce Almighty", It's fairly decent Transformers: Action packed despite the fact that the Autobots and Decepticons got an huge makeover Hairspray: Despite Poink's opinion, I recently saw this film and here's my true blue opinion -- It's funny, the tunes are catchy and it's fun to watch.. go see it! My next film is Ratatouille, My mom is becoming a bit desperate to see this film due to our local Regal theatre has only one showtime for that film And here's the films i'm looking forward to seeing and look seriously tempting: Across The Universe, Be Kind Rewind, Enchanted and Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium The thing is I know a good film when i see it The Simpsons Movie and the bastardization that is "Underdog" looks like a complete waste of time for me, even one of my relatives thought "The Simpsons Movie" was not that great despite all that hype as for "Alvin and The Chipmunks", I need to see another trailer that features footage of the film to get my final judgment and now, to close this editiorial here's an Untalkative Bunny cartoon Current Mood: happy | | Thursday, August 2nd, 2007 | | 2:16 pm |
You Can Run With Us When i was young (long before Disney Channel became a load of teenage monkey fuck), The Disney Channel was very good. There was the Beatles Cartoons, Kids Incorporated, the New MMC, and few others. Hell, They also used to show "The Fabulous Fleischer Folios" as fillers but, There's one toon that WAS on The Disney Channel that i'm now regretting on shunning during that time.. and that toon is "The Raccoons". The reason of why might sound rediculous but, The reason i had for hating the show at the time was on the count that Bert Raccoon has (strangely) a similar nose structure as Gonzo's, Thus my shameful prejudice towards the show. Now looking back at it, The show wasn't bad as i thought it was years ago. Bert Raccoon is now one of my "Guilty Pleasure" characters on a count that he's like the Alvin-ish character of the group, You know what i mean.. Bert somehow has an ego similar to Alvin (of The Chipmunks) yet, he gets into a few hillarious antics in every episode Cyril Sneer is basically the perfect image of Corporate Greed for those who do this sort of thing (sans G4 Media and certain others), Y'all basically know the type: Money Happy, Never gives a shit about anyone else but himself and Wants to ruin everybody's enjoyment (or otherwise) for his (or her) own selfish ways I also have the full version of the theme song sung by Lisa Lougheed in my MP3 library and now, strangely enough.. I now wish i have this plush  That concludes my regret towards my hatrid of this cartoon during my youth Current Mood: calmCurrent Music: Lisa Lougheed - Run With Us | | Tuesday, July 17th, 2007 | | 9:00 am |
And now... More woes (Animation and TV wise) Jason Lee is like Uwe Boll of the movies It's becoming quite obvious due to the Underdog movie and this..  He's playing as David Seville (that's not right) If i was the head of either Classic Media or Bagdasarian Productions i would've rejected them on the spot but, the studios want more money so we're pretty much screwed The lack of availability of classic and nostalgic animation is still out there If any of y'all EVER read the Mice-Looney-Ous blog ( http://toolooney.blogspot.com) It tells how Warner Bros. pretty much screwed themselves from any future airings of the Looney Tunes. Not only that but Boomerang is still in a bit of a pickle, sure it still airs classic animation but for some reason it now has toons of the likes of "What-A-Cartoon Show", "Mike, Lou & Og", "Duck Dodgers", "Justice League Unlimited", "Cow & Chicken", "Dexter's Laboratory", "Gerald McBoing Boing" (the inaccurate remake), "Baby Looney Tunes" and "Krypto The Superdog". now that i gotten the woes of Animation outta my chest now onto the next part The quality of TV is getting is merely rediculous CBS recently cancelled the US version of "Creature Comforts" after 3 episodes despite the fact that the network never promoted the show to give it a chance to gain ratings NBC canned "Thank God You're Here" after 1 season, even though they never promoted the show alot Cable and Network TV is running out of originality It's all about mimicking a hit series' formula G4 during it's TV 4 Gamers prime had a few original shows including the innovative show "Portal" and like i stated 3 posts ago, The shows the channels especially the 4 networks are airing are basically alienating not to mention seperating the entire family only a few of them are watchable for the entire family like America's Got Talent, Don't Forget The Lyrics, The Next Best Thing, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? and American Inventor plus, Shows for kids are getting a bit monotonous Not only they are making kids today a bit more trend fancy (in "Generation Me" fashion) but, The shows are allegedly aimed at kids are not aimed at kids at all When i was young, Kids programming is pretty watchable for the entire family amoung the lines of "The Alvin Show", "You Can't Do That On Television" and especially "Wienerville" Now, It's pretty much gone The only thing during the new millennium is watchable for the family on the grounds of Kids TV is "Untalkative Bunny" (Shamefully, This series never came stateside) | | Thursday, June 14th, 2007 | | 2:41 am |
Underdog The Movie, A film we must dread
The summer season is upon us again
There are only a couple of decent titles namely: Ratatouille and Transfromers
but, There's a film we (and i mean all of y'all) should avoid at all cost
i mean THIS movie... Underdog
Like i stated before, Corporate America doesn't give classic properties respect under any circumstance
However, The only live-action adaptation that payed any respect to the original source is the film "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle", It's produced by the late Jay Ward's neice, Tiffany Ward. even though the film didn't fair so well critically, The film has payed a decent amount of respect to the series and the plot is like what we see in the series yet a bit modernized.
The rest is a mixed bag
The Flintstones is meh, Viva Rock Vegas (it's prequel) sucked, Inspector Gadget is OK
I never saw the Fat Albert or Mr. Magoo films
I mean, compared to "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle", Underdog (the film) has a ton of inaccuracies. even a true blue Underdog fan can point out that neither Underdog or Shoeshine Boy EVER had a human master.
The part of the problem is children today probably never saw the Underdog cartoon thus they will be absorbed to this load of monkey fuck into believing what they see is the real honest to god Underdog but, What their getting is a film that has no scrap of references of the cartoon outside of the names
I can't believe Classic Media is giving Disney the greenlight to do this, They should at least get the creator of the series to take part of the movie but did they? NO!
the fellers at Disney fucked it all up, just to be dicks
If your a nostaglia buff or a classic cartoon buff like me, Avoid this film at all cost
Don't let your kids see this film, If they wanna see Underdog.. show them the cartoon so they can understand the film in question is a load of monkey fuck
I recommend buying "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" on DVD, It may have bombed critically but, At least it's a very decent adaptation
keep in mind some films that are critical bombs often become cult classics (i.e. Xanadu, Troop Beverly Hills, Transformers: The Movie, MST3K: The Movie)
That's all i have to say about the Underdog film adaptation
I leave you with a cartoon starring King Leonardo and true blue Odie Cologne
