. . . is called Bullwinkle's Corner: Fan Club #5. This film spends 90 seconds warning the American Public against the dangers posed by publicity people, aka press agents, aka public relations operatives, aka flacks, and their devious, self-serving proclivities. Boris Bad-Enough takes on the guise of PR jerk "Jim Moran," whose sole focus is upon puffing himself up at the expense of his paying employer--or dupe. Moran leaves his alleged client Bullwinkle J. Moose on crutches, imprisoned by multiple casts, after engineering several widely-reported calamities for Antler Boy while angling to position himself as a heroic savior rather than being exposed as the perverse demon he actually is. As anyone who's been harmed by such malign miscreants in Real Life will tell you, all of this is more the Rule rather than any kind of exception when it comes to this class of No Good Nicks.

Maybe Dick, the Wailing Whale, is destroying the shipping industry. He is eating all the ships and doing away with the tourist trade. Pericles Parnassus can't get anyone stupid enough to try to catch him. Except, Bullwinkle is available. The boys set sail, looking for the creature, but the boat starts twisting and turning in every direction. Who could be piloting? Special features are "Snow White Meets Rapunzel" where a prince ends up in dire straits. Peabody and Sherman go to Pikes Peak to meet Zebulon Pike.

. . . anchoring this story arc of The Bullwinkle Show is problematic. This moniker for the so-called WAILING WHALE is similar to Maybe Dock or Maybe Duck. I suppose that if you stretch it, you can even throw in a Maybe Deck here. However, the no-longer-acceptable tag being highlighted is a word play upon a 19th Century American novel by Herman Melville beginning with the unforgettable phrase, "Call me Ishmael." Often referred to by Professors of Literature as the Great American Novel, most states now ban this book, confining it in the same dumpster fire as THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN and TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. In retrospect, shame on Bullwinkle for dragging such dregs into the view of children.

. . . MEETS RAPUNZEL is that Snow White NEVER meets Rapunzel. This is because Snow White's son, Prince John, is such a bird-brain. Raised as a coach tomato, John is all thumbs when it comes to fingers. No one who has wilted in the endless lines at Dizzy World can picture Snow White or any of the other clueless princesses changing a baby's diaper. Soiled undies have consequences, just like elections. When the unfortunate dude saddled with Snow White finally orders Prince John to find a more level-headed princess than his mom, John stumbles across Rapunzel. However, after the witch prunes Rapunzel's locks, John cannot figure out an alternate access route. Fortunately, Prince Charming is not stuck with a Dizzy princess for a mom.
