Original Description:
Long-Lost episodes of Jay Ward's classic cartoon!
In September, 1962, then sixteen-year-old Oliver Stone submitted a script to his favorite cartoon, "The Bullwinkle Show." Although unsolicited, show creator Jay Ward was so impressed with the young man's efforts, he bought the story for a paltry sum and immediately put it on the production schedule for airing in the fall of 1963. The episodes were eventually produced by the show's Mexico-based animation house, Val-Mar Studios.
Already nervous about the story's violent content, after the horrific events of November 22, 1963, both NBC and sponsor General Mills were so mortified by the coincidental similarities of the plot of the episodes and the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas Texas, they ordered the story pulled from broadcast before it aired. All prints were believed destroyed. Ward asked Stone for his money back.
The extravagant cost of the whole debacle (nearly twenty dollars) ultimately led to the cancellation of "The Bullwinkle Show."
In 2008 the films were rediscovered in the evidence files of the Warren Commission in the National Archives. Originally mislabeled "Kennedy Stag Films," the lost cartoons had been overlooked for decades by researchers.
The four battered film canisters were found between the back of a file cabinet and the wall of a neglected storage room. The footage was badly damaged and deteriorated, and the soundtrack distorted, but the historical significance is undeniable...
These treasures of animation have now been de-classified and RESTORED so that they can be enjoyed by a new generation!
