Boris and Natasha: The Movie is a 1992 American made-for-television comedy film that was loosely based on the animated television series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. It was shot in Los Angeles. The main actors, Dave Thomas and Sally Kellerman, did not attempt to copy the accents of their animated characters. Although Rocky and Bullwinkle do not appear in this film, two minor characters are revealed to be known also as "Agents Moose and Squirrel" during a climactic scene. This was due to the production company's inability to secure the rights to the animated characters' likenesses for this film. Originally intended for a theatrical release, this film was produced by Management Company Entertainment Group for Showtime Networks, and aired on Showtime on April 17, 1992.
