That's Not a Yours; That's a Mine
Hitchcoc26 February 2016
The moose and squirrel make their way to the mine that Bullwinkle has inherited. Unfortunately, Boris and Natasha have diverted them onto a mine field in a military installation. Not only do they risk being blown up but soon the military sends tanks out to dissuade them. They are literally kicked off the compound but are saved from the mine field. The bad guys are celebrating the demise of the pair as they travel toward the mine, only to see them on the side of the road. The boys hitchhike but have little success until a mysterious driver shows up. In the other features, the fairy tale is a new version of Androcles and the Lion with a surprise ending. Peabody and Sherman go to visit Louis Pasteur who needs milk, but his cow thinks she is a chicken and is interrupting the process. This was a pretty good offering.

This is your great-grandfather's sort of fairy . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . tale. There is a good reason that the original version of all the famous children's stories were labeled as being grim. Within the primary source material, the wicked witch in the gingerbread house actually chowed down on Hansel and Gretel. The poisoned apple put Snow White six feet under BEFORE she met any dwarfs, and Rapunzel lost her hair permanently after she started letting it down for strangers. So it should come as no surprise to those "in the know" when the famished lion gobbles up Andy at the close of FRACTURED FAIRY TALE: A-N-D-R-O-C-L-E-S AND THE LION. The Guardians of Cultural Literacy concur that this is the picture most True to the tale's source.

Remote-controlled cars were NOT invented by . . .

, , , X-Factor Soviet Spy Elongated Muskrat, part four of the Up-See-Daisy-Um Saga reveals. Muskrat's role model, the ACTUAL Evil Genius "Mr. Big," rolls out such a vehicle toward the conclusion of TWO FLYING GHOSTS or HIGH SPIRITS. Regular viewers of these pictures will recognize that Mr. Big is superior to Mr. Muskrat in every way. He does NOT siphon trillions of dollars of U. S. Citizen Taxpayer Dollars for faulty bogus rockets that are always blowing apart upon launch. Mr. Big's privately-financed missiles inevitably work like charms. Furthermore, Mr. Big does not throw a staunch U. S. ally under the steam roller by cutting it off from his satellite network for which the beleaguered nation has previously contracted. When they remake this series, Mr. Muskrat obviously is too craven to be cast in the Mr. Big role, but perhaps he could take on the part of Big's flunky Boris Bad Enough or Boris' Fatal Natasha sidekick.

. . . to deal with the Heartbreak of Somnambulism. It does not help, however, that the subtitle of MR. KNOW-IT-ALL: FALLING ASLEEP ON THE JOB CAN LEAD TO A RUDE AWAKENING misspells this dread malady, omitting the initial "m." Since Bullwinkle J. Moose is a bachelor, he cannot be depicted in the fashion through which most somnambulists make the headlines: By murdering a wife, mother or mother-in-law while sleepwalking. Therefore, this antler-sporting character is relegated to simply blowing up the powder room on a military base and crashing a jet fighter plane into an officers' club while operating in the twilight zone between alert wakefulness and overt snoring.
