The Secret Adventures of Bullwinkle was a planned television series revival of The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends. But during the show production, the management team of the show realized that Disney only bought the home video rights instead of the rights to the characters. With the cancellation of the revival TV series, the production team decided to replace the television series revival concept with a DuckTales spin-off, which led to the creation of the Darkwing Duck television series.
Premises[]
The series would have featured new segments of Rocky and Bullwinkle's adventures, along with Bullwinkle's Corner, Mr. Know-It All, Dudley Do Right, Peabody's Improbable History, and Fractured Scary Tales (segments that parody horror movies, replacing the Fractured Fairy Tales segments, which parody fairy tales).[1][2]

Trivia[]
- This would have been the first Disney television series to be a revival of a non-Disney show.
- Prior to this attempt, there was an attempt in 1981 that would have parodied Super Bowls, but ultimately got canceled due to objections from NFL.[3]
- If Disney succeeded in making this show, June Foray (who voiced Rocky and Natasha Fatale in the original show) would have obviously reprised her role for the two characters. Corey Burton would have likely voiced Snidely Whiplash, since Snidely was voiced by Hans Conried (who voiced Captain Hook in Disney's 1953 Peter Pan film, and would later be replaced by Corey as Captain Hook's new voice actor) from 1959-1982.
- Had Disney produced the series, it would have predated Disney's second, and successful, attempt at another Jay Ward cartoon George of the Jungle.
