What happens

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle is a 2000 American live-action animated adventure slapstick comedy film directed by Des McAnuff and written by Kenneth Lonergan, based on the animated television series The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends by Jay Ward. Animated characters Rocky and Bullwinkle share the screen with live actors portraying Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro, who also co-produced the film), Boris Badenov (Jason Alexander) and Natasha Fatale (Rene Russo), with Randy Quaid, Piper Perabo, Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. June Foray reprises her role as Rocky, while Keith Scott (no relation to original voice actor Bill Scott) voices Bullwinkle and the film's narrator. It also features cameo appearances by performers including James Rebhorn, Paget Brewster, Janeane Garofalo, John Goodman, David Alan Grier, Don Novello, Jon Polito, Carl Reiner, Whoopi Goldberg, Max Grodenchik, Norman Lloyd, Jonathan Winters and Billy Crystal. The film follows Rocky and Bullwinkle, who are enlisting their help by a young rookie FBI agent Karen Sympathy to stop Boris, Natasha and Fearless Leader from taking over the United States. Released on June 30, 2000 by Universal Pictures, the film underperformed at the box office, grossing $35.1 million worldwide against a $76 million budget. It received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized its writing, plot and humor, while praising the performances, visual effects and faithfulness to its source material.
