The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle

I have always found it slightly disconcerting to see familiar two-dimensional cartoon characters realized in flesh and blood. It is a popular trend, though, as the recent slew of cartoons-turned-live-action like "The Flintstones" (1994) and its recent sequel, "George of the Jungle" (1997), "Mr. Magoo" (1997), and "Dudley Do-Right" (1999) continue to pour out of Hollywood. ...
