If you were alive in the late 1950's or early 1960's, you no doubt know Rocky and Bullwinkle. Did you know that the Wilmington, Delaware minor league baseball team is called the Blue Rocks, and their mascot is Rocky Bluewinkle? At minor league games you can run around with your head on a bat and win a two-liter bottle of Coke. Ahem, back to the subject.
The moose and the squirrel were of vast entertainment value, and Boris and Natasha dastardly, but I always loved Fractured Fairy Tales best. At the very end of each one, a little man with a broom swept up the shards from the tale that was fractured.
While the fairytales were based on the classics, the characters were something altogether different. How about Wolfenpickle in Goldilocks? Fairy Godmouse in Jack and the Beanstalk? Kyle Clod in The Princess and the Pea? J. Quincy Flogg in Pinocchio? I didn't exactly remember these. They're from The Big Cartoon Database. But I know that I loved them.
I was watching Futurama one day, and I noticed that the voices were like FF's. The drawing was like Futurama. The plot lines were sometimes like FF's. Hmmmm... Ya think Matt Groening was born in the 50's?
Here's Aladdin's Friendly Lamp-O-Rama.
See? Rub me and get a surprise, the lamp said, and he got a surprise. Jeanie is just like Leela. Aladdin's just like.. you figure it out. And brassiere, uh, husseir, uh, middle eastern guy.
