Plot

Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose live a melancholic life since their television series was canceled in 1964. Their animated home, Frostbite Falls, is deforested, Rocky can no longer fly, and their show's unseen narrator lives with his mother. Meanwhile, their archenemies, Fearless Leader, Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale, have all lost power in Pottsylvania following the end of the Cold War. They escape by tunneling to a Hollywood film studio, where they trick executive Minnie Mogul into signing a rights contract to their series and greenlighting a potential film, dragging the villains out of the animated world and transforming them into live action characters.
