Some places I'm a cat, others I'm a bee. Either way, I like classic American cartoons and Fujiko Fujio anime way too much.

    The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle

    ★★★

    Since live-action/animated adaptations of beloved cartoon characters don't always have the greatest reputation, my expectations for this movie were pretty low...and I think that's the best way to approach it. The movie manages to capture the spirit of the original television series pretty well, engaging in self-deprecating humor, bad puns, and social satire. The live-action actors for Boris and Natasha are also well-cast. However, my main gripe with the movie is it shoehorning a romance plot with the female lead…

    This is the anime counterpart to The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, and I feel fans of one will really enjoy the other. Both are zany, comedic takes on classic sci-fi plots, and have some sentimentality mixed in!

    I genuinely feel bad for the folks who are enjoying the newer seasons of the actual Simpsons show. I can't imagine having a show you love finally break out of its slump, only for an awful Disney+ corporate synergy short to drop and have everyone and their mom talk about that instead.

    Surely, Sylvester eventually has to realize that the "giant mouse" he keeps fighting has to be a kangaroo.
