Rocky and Bullwinkle - Metal Munching Moon Mice
This is a 16mm color/Sound film print of a COMPLETE Rocky and Bullwinkle serial "Metal Munching Moon Mice". This is all 16 chapters of the serial on two reels (there are no other cartoons, just the serial spliced together to make a complete feature out of it).
Here are episode synopsese from TV.com:
Ep 1&2 : "In Frostbite Falls, there are more TV sets than there are people. The reason for this is because Frostbite Falls is the home of TV's most precious personalities: Rocket J. Squirrel. But a very funny thing has happened: that same night when people tuned into "Rocky and His Friends", their TV sets are busted! Rocky soars up into the air to see what could be the problem, and finds every single TV antenna is missing!"
Ep 3&4 : "When Bullwinkle was put in charge of watching a deco TV antenna, he ran into a 6-foot tall metal mouse. The next morning Bullwinkle found it impossible to tell anyone about it. The nation's TV's have been going off in a blink by something or someone destroying the TV antennas, the culprit is the 6-foot tall mouse."
Ep 5&6 "Inside the old Bleakly Mansion, Rocky ran into a 6-foot metal mouse. When the mouse tried to spear Rocky, his tail got stuck into the wall. Once Bullwinkle meets Rocky in the house, they find pictures of the Bleakly ancestors, and one of the metal mice, but it wasn't really a painting, it was another one! Rocky and Bullwinkle discover it's a secret passage. Once inside, after walking a little while, they come to a door with voices inside. Rocky instructs Bullwinkle to put his ear to the door to listen, but the only way he could do that, is to put his antler through the door. The door opened, and Rocky and Bullwinkle find a room full of 6-foot metal mice."
Ep 7&8 : "Rocky and Bullwinkle have been placed in their own giant mousetrap, and are about to be exterminated by a metal mouse. "
Ep 9&10: "After the metal-munching mice were ruined by Rocky's caramel, Boris and Natasha order a new shipment of them from a landing spaceship. The spaceship began to unload a new cargo of the metal mice. So Rocky and Bullwinkle snuck upon the spaceship, unfortunately, so did Boris, who was then disguised as the big cheese"
Ep 11&12: "Rocky, Bullwinkle, Gidney, and Cloyd are forming a human fence at the pass to stop the army of metal-munching mice from striking the little town of Podunk Junction. But unfortunately, the moon mice took another way. Rocky gets an idea to hire a pied piper to pipe away all of the metal-munching mice."
Ep 13&14 : "The whole metal-munching mice issue is all the fault of our heroes' old nemeses, Mr. Big! His plot, to send metal-munching mice to USA, to destroy all of the TV antennas. Rocky, Bullwinkle, Gidney, and Cloyd are feeling low. Rocky is upset about the whole TV issue, but Bullwinkle decides to play his old ukulele. His singing is terrible and Rocky and the moon men want him to stop. All of the sudden, the whole army of metal-munching mice surround the cottage of Rocky and Bullwinkle. But the thing is, Boris is not leading them!"
Ep 15 & 16 : "It's Bullwinkle Vs. Boris as the Big Cheese in a musical contest to win the affections of the metal-munching mice. It's Bullwinkle Vs. Boris as the Big Cheese in a musical contest to win the affections of the metal-munching mice. "
