High Seas Bullwinkle

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 9 March 2021]

When R & B realize that the ship they're on is out of control, the pilot can only be one person. Who could it be? The Statue of Liberty is in the way and they are loaded with TNT. There are two features: Aesop tells his son about the sick lion who would rather sing than roar (he is also a hypochondriac). He ends up a great success, but.... Peabody and his boy got to St. Andrews in Scotland for the first golf match.

When children go out to play on the beach . . .

. . . and a gale, tornado or hurricane suddenly crops up, they often ask themselves if--in the words of Robert Louis Stevenson--"Are you a beast of the field and tree or just a stronger child than me?" This is particularly true if said urchin is riding in a Bouncy House that has recently been ripped from its tie-downs and attained an altitude of more than 100 feet. Bullwinkle's Corner: THE WIND reassures tykes who've become unmoored from Planet Earth that such gusts are merely temporary passing weather whims, and really nothing about which to worry.

. . . others. Six years prior to THE SICK LION's release, director Chuck Jones and writer Michael Maltese had collaborated on what is still the funniest singing animal cartoon of all time, ONE FROGGY EVENING. Featuring the only appearance of Michigan J. Frog in a 20th Century theatrical release, this animated short had audiences somersaulting down the aisles with uncontrollable laughter and inspired the future middle initials of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

. . . threatened with destruction, such as when an explosives-laden vessel seems bound to annihilate the U. S.'s cherished Statute of Liberty near the close of Wailing Whale Part 4, aka TNT FOR TWO or FRIGHT CARGO. What monster would spoof defacing Mount Rushmore for yuks, or melt down the Liberty Bell, even in misplaced "jest"? Is there some sort of warning embedded within this Rocky and Bullwinkle episode--a prediction dire enough to justify such outrageous images? Who is behind the TNT plot in this film? A thinly disguised Aristotle O., future spouse of the unhappily married Jackie O. Released well BEFORE Nov. 11, 1963, this picture could be sounding an alarm that Jackie is scheming the ultimate revenge for JFK's "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" party with Norma Jean, subcontracting the Greek mob to serve as hitmen. Stranger things have happened.
