Box Set Features All 163 Episodes of the Classic TV Series with Special Features and Collectibles
Frostbite Falls, MN – And now, here’s something we hope you’ll really like! On January 4th, 2011, Classic Media, a global media company with a portfolio of some of the world’s leading family entertainment brands, and Bullwinkle Studios, announced the release of Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends™ : The Complete Series on DVD in a collectible edition box set ($99.98 SRP).
Hokey Smoke! In addition, the 18-disc collection includes a number of special features, such as “Goof Gas Outtake” (a.k.a. “The Longest Laugh in History”), an on-camera interview with actress June Foray (a.k.a. the voice of Rocky), and more. There are also collectibles, including Frostbite Falls Field Guide to a Moose, a Squirrel and a Royal Canadian Mountie, by Keith Scott, and a “Loyal Viewer” award.
Heralded by TV Guide® as one of the best television shows of all time, Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends is also considered one of the most original and groundbreaking television programs in history. When the series debuted in 1959, no person or organization was safe from Bullwinkle & Company’s satire—from the United States government and Russian spies, to world leaders, network censors, Hollywood celebrities and more.
