Rocky and Bullwinkle/Trivia

Cross-Dressing Voices: June Foray as Rocky. Bill Scott also frequently played little old ladies, such as assorted fairy godmothers in Fractured Fairy Tales.
Hey, It's That Voice!: Rocky and Natasha were voiced by June Foray, who voiced many female Looney Tunes characters, as well as other cartoon characters both past and present. Boris Badenov was voiced by Paul Frees, who was prominent in cartoons produced by Rankin Bass and other studios.
Old Shame: Jason Alexander issued a public apology for his part in The Movie.
Promoted Fanboy: Keith Scott's a huge fan of Jay Ward's work. He got to voice Bullwinkle, the narrator and the cartoon versions of Boris and Fearless Leader in the movie. He even wrote a book ("The Moose That Roared") on Jay Ward, his staff and their work. It's well worth seeking out.
What Could Have Been: In 1981, there was going to be a revival involving a Super Bowl parody. It was ultimately scrapped because NFL didn't like the idea due to team owners being parodied and it involved Boris fixing the game.
- If Disney had the rights to make a new Rocky and Bullwinkle series in 1989, we would've had this. It would've had new Rocky and Bullwinkle stories, new Peabody's Improbable History stories, new Dudley Do-Right stories, new Mr. Know-It-All segments and a whole new segment called Fractured Scary Tales, which would've been spoofs of famous horror films.
- A few years before Rocky and His Friends began, there was a storyboard idea called The Frostbite Falls Review, which would've starred Rocky, Bullwinkle (then called Canadian Moose), Sylvester the Fox, Flora Fauna, Blackstone the Crow and Oski the Bear. It would've involved them running a TV station in the North Woods.
