Review of “Rocky & Bullwinkle: Jet Fuel Formula”, serialised in The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends, Season 1, Episodes 1-20 (ABC, 1959-1960)

A fast, freewheeling, self-aware cliffhanger serial told across 40 three-minute segments. Bullwinkle the endearingly dim-witted moose and his guileless squirrel pal Rocky battle an equally hapless pair of Cold War spies. Clever allusions and mile-a-minute wordplay underpin the cheap but punchy animation.

The world’s most famous moose and squirrel duo returns, as fresh and comically self-aware in 2014 as it was fifty years previously. Interspersed with shorter Dudley Do-Right adventures, Rocky and Bullwinkle’s escapades are faithfully drawn, exuberantly nostalgic, colourful, chaotic, and delightfully clever.
