ParksLog verdict
One of the more obscure entries in the park's closed-attraction history — a short-lived 1990s live show built around a classic licensed cartoon. Mostly a footnote today, remembered by relatively few guests compared to the park's bigger original attractions.

The show opened on August 13, 1992, at the same time as a version at Universal Studios Hollywood, and was removed in 1993, when the Hanna-Barbera live show Startoons took its place. A second Rocky and Bullwinkle show ran in 2000–2001 alongside the live-action film.
