It helps that Jay Ward's daughter Tiffany is also involved, as is some of the crew from this show's predecessor, ''WesternAnimation/TheMrPeabodyAndShermanShow''.

* AngstWhatAngst: The next time we see the cartoon weasel who was subjected to the CDI earlier in the film, he's surprisingly devoid of any signs of trauma from being trapped in the internet, as once Bullwinkle passes by him while being transported to RBTV, he happily high-fives the moose and even laughs.

Added DiffLines:

* NightmareFuel: The display of how the CDI works. There’s something dark about a cartoon begging for mercy while a little girl callously explains and displays how the machine works, zapping the poor fella, who laughs for a moment before screaming as his skeleton is shown for a brief moment and is then gone. Thankfully, Bullwinkle encounters him later on while travelling through the internet and he looks to be enjoying himself.
** The characters who were literally turned into vegetables, both figuratively in how they’re rendered unable to do anything and literally with the creepy vegetable faces.
** The literal mole. It’s not creepy on its own and probably wasn’t meant to be, yet how their eyes widen when Karen giddily mentions Rocky and Bullwinkle most likely startled many kids.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: [[TechnologyMarchesOn While definitely dated]], the film nonetheless did a great job of translating Rocky and Bullwinkle's original cartoony designs into CGI, and they blend in well with the live-action footage for the most part. Bonus points for being animated at [[Creator/IndustrialLightAndMagic ILM]].

The villains' transformations back into their cartoon forms when they are zapped by the CDI near the end of the film is also well-done and seamless.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: After their fight, Karen confesses that she acts tough and cynical and does [[PragmaticHero morally questionable things]] as an FBI agent because she’s afraid of messing up [[NoodleIncident like she did in the past]], especially with the fate of the world now at stake. Even if Rocky and Bullwinkle don’t agree with her tactics, they understand the cause and agree to help her.

* VindicatedByHistory: The film was trashed by critics and audiences when it came out, was a box office bomb, earned a Razzie nomination for Rene Russo, and Jason Alexander issued an apology for appearing in it. However, while hardly a classic, its reception has grown some over the years, with many finding its satirical humor surprisingly smart, funny, and accurate to the spirit of the original series.
