Rock and Rule was one of those adult-oriented ‘toon movies from the 80’s that was Nelvana’s first feature film, and it was nothing like what they would produce later. The script was lame, but the animation was well done enough to make it passable at best. It had balls for a PG - there were drugs, boobs, S-words, heavy metal, you name it. And yet, not even a film like this can suffer undergoing a more reasonless edit than the MGM version - the Pooh’s Adventures version. Yes, Winnie the Pooh is ready to rock and this movie is ready to hit rock bottom. But let’s watch the damn thing anyway to see what they had to censor. Pooh’s Adventures of Rock and Rule.

Overall: 3.4/5
0.32/10. Well, that was okay. The movie I mean, not the video. The video sucks. While it could have been worse, it just goes to show how these Pooh’s Adventures creators do not understand comedy, even when it isn’t that funny itself. They just see movies as fun and adventure, not anything inspirational (besides crossovers) or well-developed.
You’d have to be a complete fool to miss the point of a film that has the intention of satire or teaching life lesssons; Back in Action may be too self-aware, but it’s the anti-Space Jam, and one of the biggest problems with Space Jam was that it was fun over substance, with too many characters surrounding our hero including those with no personality. This video is not what Joe Dante had in mind. And what better way to finish off a commentary on Looney Tunes than…
These people think they’re so epic…
Seriously, it’s very hot over here and I can’t turn the fan on because I won’t hear what anyone’s saying!
I haven’t yet complained about how quiet the real movie footage is compared to the inserted footage. Sort out your THX sound settings, damn it!
I like the part at the beginning because bascially they’re trying to make Space Jam. Oh God, I just stated the obvious, didn’t I?
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is more than just a crossover to make us feel giddy seeing characters from seperate licenses join together. It’s one of the greatest technical/artistic achievements in cinema history. Trust me, I saw it at a special screening with The Thief and the Cobbler that coincidentally took place on my 21st birthday (I even had photos taken with Richard Williams himself).
Unfortunately, several people these days see it as just something that makes them excited just because it’s Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny together, so now seems like the perfect opportunity to recap one of the films that tried to cash in on the success of Roger Rabbit, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, the film that is at least better than Space Jam. But this is the Pooh’s Adventures version, so that automatically makes it worse.
The closest Back in Action could get to being a crossover were a smart take-that at the Scooby-Doo movies offered by Warner Bros. as a marketing gig and the Daleks among other classic sci-fi aliens. But thanks to the magic of Windows Movie Maker, we are treated to Winnie the Pooh, Pokemon (of freaking course), Mickey Mouse, the Madagascar penguins, numerous Disney sidekicks and the villains from Power Rangers. Hm, can’t be worse than the work of Yakko, can it? Well, let’s dig into this anyway. It feels great to be Pooh’s Adventures of Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
Goodness gracious, out of everyone in the audience Dick Williams could’ve shook hands with…
Winnie the Pooh Says The Mummy Returns? That makes less sense than just calling it “Pooh’s Adventures of The Mummy Returns”.
Pooh’s Adventures of The Scorpion King is an upcoming film to be made by CarltonHeroes and FantasyFilms2011. It will appear in a near future.
I suppose this guy isn’t aware that Benny quit the Adventure video bandwagon months ago.
Oh yeah, and Hanna-Barbera’s Paw Paws guest star in this and reveal to be Yogi Bear’s cousins.
Boy, are these characters going to turn out stupid, considering the story.
