Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, released in 2019, is an American animated television film based on the original Nickelodeon series, Rocko's Modern Life, which aired from 1993 to 1996. It was produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and released on Netflix. The film features the voices of Carlos Alazraqui, Tom Kenny, Charlie Adler and a number of other well-known actors.
The movie is set in the same universe as the original series, 20 years after it ended. Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt have been lost in space since the end of the series, and they finally return to Earth to find everything has changed. The world has become filled with technology, and Rocko is struggling to adapt to this new digital age.
In the opening scene, we see Rocko, Heffer, and Filburt being launched back to Earth in a futuristic ship. They land right in the middle of O-Town, and Rocko is excited to reunite with his old friends, including his faithful dog Spunky. When they arrive at his old house, they discover that it has been replaced by a high-tech building.
The story then follows Rocko's journey to reconnect with his old friends and understand this new world he has returned to. He discovers that his favorite TV show, "The Fatheads," has been canceled, and he decides to launch a protest to bring it back. With the help of his friends, and a few new ones, Rocko works to get the show back on the air.
Along the way, Rocko meets a new character named Rachel, who is a frog who has just moved to O-Town. She is an aspiring cartoonist, and she offers to help design a new logo for "The Fatheads" protest. Rocko is initially hesitant to work with her, but he soon realizes how talented she is and how much they have in common.
Meanwhile, Filburt struggles with his new life as a father and husband, and Heffer becomes obsessed with a new social media app. As Rocko's protest gains momentum, he must overcome various obstacles, including a lawsuit from Conglom-O, the massive corporation that now dominates O-Town.
The film has a nostalgic feel, with plenty of Easter eggs and references to the original series. Fans of the show will appreciate seeing their favorite characters again, and newcomers to the series will still be able to enjoy the film's humor and heart.
The animation style remains faithful to the original, with bright colors and exaggerated character designs. The film is also rated TV-PG, which allows for some slightly more adult humor and themes than the original show.
