Trivia:

This short was intended to be a Fractured Fairy Tales short on "The Bullwinkle Show" (1961) but was never completed. It was eventually made into a short film as a tribute to Jay Ward and was released with Dudley Do-Right (1999).

Movie Connections:

Spin off from "Rocky and His Friends" (1959)

One good thing about the horrid Dudley Do-Right movie... this.

Okay, any of you remember that awful Dudley Do-Right movie with Brenden Frasier?(Dodges projectiles from angry readers after invoking painful memories). I'll take that as a yes. Well, the movie sucked, but the short that came with it(this one), is pretty nice. It's a very nice tribute to the original FFT segments from Rocky and Bullwinkle. The jokes are spot-on to the original shorts from way-back-when. This is a very fitting tribute.

BOTTOM LINE: One of the funniest cartoon shorts I've seen in a few years.
