A quick word of explanation for everyone asking about Bonkers: I understand where you're coming from, but I would prefer to give him his own episode with the rest of the Raw Toonage characters. The Disney Marsupilami is so different from the original comic that I think he "fits" in with my ruleset. There are also apparently some villains in the Shnookums & Meat Funny Cartoon Show (which I have never actually watched, so I could be entirely wrong). Maybe I'll stick Quack Pack in there, too. I feel like as we get more TV series, we'll have more entries that cover multiple ones at once.

[@McForkCoverup2005]

Yeah, that seems like a fair enough approach. Since Raw Toonage has had multiple spin-off shows, I think putting all of those together for a video is a smart decision, especially since individually they would probably be really short anyway.

[@austinreed7343]

Putting all the “Misc” Disney Afternoon shows together (maybe even Goof Troop unless it ends up in the Gaston video) is a good idea.

[@KaizokuGaeru]

Sounds like a good plan. The way I see it, shows that have few villains or one villain (Proud Family, Brandy & Mr. Whiskers, etc) can be bundled while those with an overarching plot and many major villains (American Dragon Jake Long, Wonder Over Yonder, etc) can easily be standalone ones. Could make up for the modern era having no villains or few less than stellar ones.

[@BigBossMan538]

You have your work cut out for you, huh?

[@nicholassims9837]

For your next video will you count a certain poodle to be a villain

[@Hanyoumaru]

Something I find the most amusing of all in this series is that the creator of the original book seemed to think that the movie was such an improvement that he actually rewrote the entire book to match the film better. THAT is how you know you made a great movie.

[@susanaalmeida593]

Something similar happened with the author of The Brave Little Toaster. When the film based on his book came out, the author loved the movie so much that it inspired him to write the sequel, The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars and he wrote the characters to more closely match the personalities of their film counterparts.

[@brandonlyon730]

If I recall Gary Wolf himself retconned his own book with another to say it was all a nightmare of Rogers.

[@MariuigiKhed]

Sometimes Disney manged to adapt something like that, shame it was once every blue moon

[@robbiewalker2831]

@@brandonlyon730 This is because, when he created the original book, he was basing more on the popularity of Newspaper Comics like Peanuts and Garfield. This is why the original book had toons speak with word balloons, which Disney felt is a waste of space to have it happen every time they speak; so, like some of the toons in the original book, all the toons in the movie got rid of the speech balloons completely. Also, there's a literal reason Jessica Rabbit is a sex symbol in the original book: she was a sketch drawn in a Tijuana bible called "Lewd, Crude, and in the Mood". One last thing to note, Judge Doom being a Toon disguised as a human is an actual thing in the book; it's called "Crossing Over".

Between Doom and his role in Dennis the Menace, it took me quite a long time to appreciate Lloyd, he's way too good as a villain 😂

[@benjamingesinski9170]

The idea of Judge Doom being resurrected gave me an idea where Doom comes back in the modern era and finds that his Dip doesn't work on modern cartoon characters because they're computer generated graphics instead of being made from ink and paper. So maybe instead Doom creates a computer virus that causes the cgi characters to glitch until they break down.

[@gooeydude574]

Damn that makes sense

[@austinreed7343]

I think on more modern characters, their CG layer works as a “shield” so to speak; once the shield is down? You can dip them. Or maybe you dip them but they survive so you have to kill them with normal methods.

I've seen video of that Halloween show. Every single one, the crowd GASPS when they realize what he's pulling out. That's how you know what a mark Doom left on the subconscious.

[@beauwalker9820]

That scene creeped out many children of the 80s and 90s. (And beyond.) I remember as a kid thinking the red paint from the dissolved toon shoe on his glove was blood. Kudos to bringing back an epic cruel villain.

[@jamesa.romano8500]

I definitely think elements of Judge Doom made their way into Disney's later interpretation of the Frollo character

[@abrahamaytemo]

How so

[@jamesa.romano8500]

@@abrahamaytemo Mainly because Frollo is changed from a priest to a judge, which isn't the first time that has been done but the Disney version harbors a very specific homicidal hatred for an entire race of people that hadn't been shown before in any interpretation of the character, and it strongly resembles Doom's hatred for toons, with even Frollo's speech to Phoebus crushing the ants looking similar to Doom's demonstration of how dip works on the shoe toon. But saying that I'm not claiming that Doom was the only inspiration as I've also heard Dr. Terwilliker from The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, Amon Goeth from Schindler's List, Judge Turpin from Sweeney Todd, Haman, Tomas de Torquemada, and most obviously Cedric Hardwicke's Frollo in the 1939 Charles Laughton film factored into the character considerably

[@austinreed7343]

I also see the possibility the Eight Gentle Judges (Megaman Zero 3) were inspired by him.

[@KammybRich7000]

I always have wondered if Esmeralda's festival dance wasn't in part some kind of homage to Jessica Rabbit's nightclub performance (even her toying with Frollo and flirting with Quasimodo in the crowd seems like a callback Jessica's going into the audience to do the same thing to Marvin Acme and Eddie) EDIT: Marvin Acme not RK Maroon lol

[@Koopalingfan]

I don’t think so because the novel and the portrayal of Jehan Frollo in the 1939 film such a good movie were his inspirations.

[@SnakeRoadComicsOfficial3677]

The movie was so good the creator of the book made a sequel retconing the first book as a bad dream Jessica had.

[@devinpaul9026]

I LOVE the original names, but "Wise Guy Weasel" is still a great name for a toon, hadn't ever heard it before.

[@mightyfilm]

What really makes that funny is that there's a censored TV edit of the movie that awkwardly replaces the Gorilla Bouncer's retort at Eddie, "Wise Ass" with "Wise Guy." Poorly, at that. Where as the bouncer's voice was a cartoonishly deep, the replacement voice actor was much higher pitched and very nasal.

[@e-mananimates2274]

If I was going to give him my own replacement name, what comes in mind for me is "Wisecrack".

[@devinpaul9026]

@@e-mananimates2274 It flows better, but Wisecrack Weasel sounds like the character himself IS a wisecrack somehow. Wisecracker, maybe-- without the "weasel".

Just imagine. If Doom and the Toon Patrol did indeed succeed in wiping Toontown forever, they would find out there were other Toons living in other parts of the world, including ones from Japan. They would do it without a heartbeat.

[@stardragon5849]

That would be a grave disaster if it's really happening. Especially with both France and Japan (one started the history of animation and other is the popular influential)

[@austinreed7343]

And what if Judge Doom doesn’t stop at toons? Maybe he gets fed up with most of humanity, and creates a human-equivalent to Dip?

[@princeapoopoo5787]

I'm pretty firm against Disney remakes/sequels overall, but I would not say no to another film set in a universe like this with this concept, especially as the animation industry has changed since then and international animation is more beloved. Though I guess that new Rescue Rangers movie kind of fits that "toon human hybrid" mold and that didn't look interesting to me.

Roger should've been in that Once Upon a Studio short. He's an honorary WDAS character since so many Disney animators worked on both WFRR and the Disney Renaissance films

[@austinreed7343]

Him and Merida were both technically eligible and would have fit pretty damn well.

[@geoffreyrichards6079]

There’s some legal issues surrounding the usage of the character, split between Disney, Amblin, and author Gary K. Wolf. It’s extremely difficult for all three parties to agree on things, which explains why Roger is hardly used that much anymore. Most we’ve gotten as of late was his brief cameo appearance in the 2022 “Rescue Rangers” film, which I imagine was a compromise between all three rights holders.

[@garveyneal1672]

Ever wonder if Judge Doom a.k.a gets Reanimated with his toon form as a cross between Christopher Lloyd's other animated villains such as Rasputin from Don Bluth's Anastasia, The Hacker from PBS Kids' Cyberchase, and Merlock from Ducktales: The Legend of the lost lamp?

[@babyrodent]

So glad that you got to mention Judge Doom's appearance at Oogie Boogie Bash last year! I got the chance to attend with his Treat Trail was the first one that I decided to visit when the event started since it was anticipated. His mere presence alone was enough to make ME feel fear as someone who grew up with the movie. Then he pulled the shoe out to "dip" and it solidified why he was a smash hit that year.

[@danielsvetlichny5721]

6:35 - Essentially, the Blot from Epic Mickey is best described as a living and breathing Dip with the aura of Chernabog, the glee of Maleficent and the destructive joy of the Firebird. 13:15 - Psycho and alongside Wheezy are the few members of the Toon Patrol that stood out to me, personally. 17:14 - Now this character would be an excellent Blotling type in the Epic Mickey games. 17:33 - I actually used that character and his name to my own character for a certain Japanese animated series in which I am enamoured with.

[@ArendAlphaEagle]

And, of course, the name of one of Mickey's most revered archnemeses, the Phantom Blot. Interesting how this version is essentially a mishmash of villains and hazards.

[@gojirafan0577]

Like I said with The Brave Little Toaster about it having a place in animation history, the same can be said about Who Framed Roger Rabbit but times it to 100. The film was responsible for many things. -It was what gave Richard Williams the chance to finally make what would’ve been his magnum opus, The Thief And The Cobbler to a more mainstream audience (for better and for worse). -It was what made Spielberg more interested in animation, with creating animation studios at first with Amblimation and then alongside Jeffrey Katzenberg,formed Dreamworks Animation. -It was the film that Disney desperately needed back in the late 80s and was ultimately one of the reasons for the Disney Renaissance. And -It also made Warner bros more interested in making their own animated films, with movies such as Space Jam and The Iron Giant. So all in all, it’s safe to say that Who Framed Roger Rabbit left a huge impact for the animation industry, we really need another film like Roger Rabbit in this day and age for the animation industry.

[@geoffreyrichards6079]

It wasn’t just Warner Bros. It’s also what convinced various networks to start producing their own original cartoon shows - notably Nickelodeon, which gave rise to the competition in Fox and Cartoon Network. In a way, a good chunk of the ‘90s renaissance of western animation owes itself to the success of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”.

[@geoffreyrichards6079]

@@eggmannega6895 I think “Rescue Rangers” is probably the closest we’ll get these days to a proper Roger Rabbit followup. No other film released since then has come close to matching it, and times have changed so much that it just can’t be duplicated the same way anymore.

Ah yes Judge Doom, another of those animated live action villains. I’d say he’s among one of the best, with Narissa from Enchanted being a close second for me.

Sadly most will likely not be covered, even Colin is unsure if a Pirates video is worth it.

[@austinreed7343]

@@KaizokuGaeru Many of them are presented as “real” in universe which makes it even more ambiguous.

[@stormstrider1990]

I never saw Roger Rabbit as a kid, but after every time the Nostalgia Critic has mention this movie in the past, and reviewed it only recently, I can totally believe Judge Doom was one evil and scary motherfucker. He traumatized children in the 80's, made one hell of a final boss in the NES game, and is still talked about on KZbin.

[@robbiewalker2831]

18:29 - 22:03: It's very likely that Judge Doom was "Pistol Packin' Possom", given the evidence within the movie. 1. He hangs around with a bunch of weasels that are gangsters. 2. He's a Toon that likes to commit murder. 3. Eddie said that the murderer had a high-squeaky voice, which is what Doom has upon his reveal as a toon. 4. The Toons listed out numerous things he could've been but isn't; one of the things they didn't rule out is most likely Possum. 5. Doom assassinated R.K. Maroon with a gun that looks exactly like the one on the "Pistol Packin' Possom" poster. 6. Speaking of the poster, Judge Doom's real eyes show he has white eyeballs with red irises, which Eddie mentioned previously. The poster has the Possom having similar eyes.

[@purplepedantry]

It's one of the better theories out there, and I'd certainly take it over the comic version! :D However, I would say it might be a bit hard to fully prove it was planned from the start. :(

[@Kingcj2001]

I feel that if Doom's identity had to be explored, it should've been done in a way that opened more mysteries. I'd have gone down the route of making Doom some unfinished animated cell. In his truest form, Doom would resemble an inkblot with blazing red eyes. Being an unfinished cell would make Doom malleable and able to morph is body into all sorts of things, which we've seen. Just me spitballing.

I actually think that Doom's real identity being Baron von Rotten, and the backstory given in the comics could actually be tragic if given a bit if a rewrite in the Kingdom Hearts series. Like, the bomb going off in Rotten's face could actually be deliberately triggered by Organization XIII to brainwash him into thinking he was a real villain and take advantage of his natural Toon desire to make people laugh by manipulating him into creating his elaborate Dip Toontown scheme, lying to him that the death of every Toon in existence would be hilarious to them, neglecting to mention of course they can't feel anything since they lack true hearts. When he dies after he reveals his true identity, Sora would give him the mother of all Shut Up Hannibal speeches to him, pitying him for his accident, but condemning him for killing those closest to his friends just to please everyone else and for thinking that treating life as expendable as funny, only to realize that Doom was probably jealous of all other toons for being naturally funny compared to him that led to him being manipulated by the Organization in the first place, leading to a similar death scene to Envy's from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Another great villain profile! As for Judge’s ID, I support the crazy possum suspect. The quick poster we see in the alley, has the possum shown to have the same eyes, and the crazy possum seems to prefer more violent weapons, like the missiles and knives we see in the Doom’s cartoony bits. Plus it was rumored that the possum was going to have a big role or similar but got canceled for being too violent/mean spirited. Thus motive against the head of the studio. Can’t wait to see you cover one of the most realistic villains in all of Disney!!

[@Koopalingfan]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is such a underrated movie with such a relatable protagonist who has such a great and well written arc and the cartoon references are so nice and funny. The cgi is definitely very good, which is something that is taken for granted nowadays. But yes Judge Doom is a amazing villain and the twist of being the toon who killed Eddie’s brother is such a amazing twist, it’s sort of like the twist of King Candy being Turbo in disguise. I wonder if that was it’s inspiration. I’m pretty sure his plan was meant to be a reference to the Interstate Highway System and him melting a reference to the Witch melting from The Wizard Of Oz. He was also my introduce to Christopher Lloyd and he definitely did a good performance as Judge Doom. It’s impressive that Christopher Lloyd is still acting after fifty years, considering his age and really gives out the grandfather vibe in the modern movies. I hope he voices Toadsworth if he appears in the sequel to the Super Mario Movie, if not him than either Billy Crystal or JK Simmons or Kelsey Grammer.

[@hannahmabbott7370]

Oliver and company! The fact that you're going to be doing sykes and his dobermans next is something i have always wanted to see. I like the fact that sykes ends up so unhinged that he actually tries to kill both a little girl and a street gang of dogs just for pure evil!

[@Yellowguy0619]

Bro. That's not all. Sykes also knows ways to dispose of a body without getting his hands dirty. Surprisingly, throughout the whole film, he never uses his hands to abuse Fagin or Jenny, he only uses the objects around him and his Doberman.

[@austinreed7343]

Here’s what I predict the next episodes will be: 31. Sykes (BONUS: Mizrabel) 32. Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers 33. Ursula/The Little Mermaid 34. Catch-Up #2 35. Darkwing Duck villains 36. Gaston (BONUS: Bradley Uppercrust III/Goof Troop) 37. Jafar 38. Oogie Boogie (BONUS: Sanderson Sisters) 39. Scar 40. Gargoyles villains 41. Misc. Disney Afternoon villains (Bonkers, Raw Toonage, Quack Pack, etc) 42. Toy Story villains 43. Ratcliffe (BONUS: James & the Giant Peach) 44. Frollo 45. Hades 46. One Saturday Morning This does make me wonder where other video-game-original villains go in the series. Mizrabel could work as a bonus villain for Sykes for example.

[@maurycyoseka1057]

Well, that sound accurate, except for few things; Catch-Up videos are unpredictable. Bradley is from the movie made in the 2000s. And before Bradley there was Goof Troop with few villains: a pair of crooks, a bully, ringmaster jerk, Goofy's gangster doubleganger, and most memorable to me, Felton Sludge. Goof Troop villains, especially Bradley would have their own entry, along with Teamo Supremo supervillains. Since only Goof Troop would be too short. Sanderson Sisters are live-action, not animated. Quack Pack rouges gallery would probably appear in the catch-up video and maybe along with Goof Troop. Bonkers and Marsupilami from Raw Toonage probably are going to get a seperate entry. Since a video that is all about Gargoyles villains would be too short just like if Edgar and Amos Slade entries would be, John Ratcliffe would be a bonus in Gargoyles entry. James & the Giant Peach should appear in Oogie Boogie entry, since the undead pirate captain is modeled after Jack, a NBC character. Mizrabel was already mentioned in Maleficent entry. And it is not stacked chronologically.

[@maurycyoseka1057]

I wish Disney and Warner Brothers would still be willing to work together like they did in this film😞

[@geoffreyrichards6079]

The recall the reason why they were so lenient back then was because neither studio were in the best of shape at that time. Disney was still recovering from a near bankruptcy and nearly shut down their animation studio after “The Black Cauldron” flopped. Likewise, Warner Bros. was nearly considering the same thing in regards to the Looney Tunes, who had been struggling for relevancy for the past few decades. Now that they’ve fully recovered and are trying desperately to milk their intellectual properties as much as possible, there’s likely not going to be another collaboration anytime soon.

[@sirhenrymorgan1187]

3:07 While Jessica was absolutely a sexual awakening for many, I've also seen people express that they find her proportions so ridiculous that it becomes grotesque. Part of the joke with her character is just how exaggerated she is: her hourglass figure is so extreme that, if she were real, she'd fold in half and crumple under the weight of her own big breasts vs. her absolutely tiny waist vs. the wideness of her massive hips vs. the skinniness of her long legs. 5:18 Also, his perfectly-white plasticine teeth and skin are just as obviously fake as his unblinking eyes. Another detail that can be seen in Doom's costuming: his cape is ALWAYS flowing in the wind, even indoors, befitting a cartoon villain in black. Yet ANOTHER detail is just how stiff and awkward his movements are, as if he's stuck inside a human suit and just waiting to burst out. A smaller one is how he acts around dip, putting on an extra glove when dipping a shoe and backing away when dip gets spilled in the bar, but those could be explained away as just not wanting to get dirty/wet or something. 5:43 I love how Doom's evil plan all comes together in the end. He robs the bank so he can use the money to bribe his way into office, purchase the red car, invest in Cloverleaf, pay his weasel goons to do his dirty work, etc. All of it goes back to that fateful robbery, where he killed Eddie's brother during the getaway. 6:06 It should be noted that, both in the original book and this film, Toons are an allegory for African Americans. The Ink & Paint Club is a direct parody of the IRL Cotton Club, where black people could work as entertainers but never be served as guests. Toontown is a ghetto which is segregated from the rest of society. Doom's plan is to bulldoze Toontown to make way for a freeway and gentrify the area (after all, who cares about a buncha "subhuman" Toons anyways?). And part of what makes Jessica so mysterious and suspicious is that she's a humanoid Toon, aka "passing". Is she more on the Toons' side or the humans' side? Roger mentioning how there's "no justice for Toons anymore!" really hammers home the racism allegory. And how Roger refers to laughter as the only weapon Toons have in the face of adversity (while standing on a literal soapbox) further cements the theme of remaining hopeful and kind even when faced with tragedy. Eddie letting himself become so prejudiced and hateful after a Toon killed his brother made his life so utterly miserable (although his soft spot for Betty Boop and his horror at the shoe getting dipped prove he's not beyond redemption). 6:38 Fun fact: that shoe is voiced by Nancy Cartwrite, aka Bart Simpson. 9:23 That flat Doom effect is amazing for 1988! And speaking of eyes popping out, I like the detail of Doom holding a hand over his eye after slipping on marbles. Seems that the fall nearly knocked out one of his fake eyes, a last minute hint at his true nature.

[@Rubberman202]

Ah yes, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, classic movie! It's actually been a while since I've seen that movie, maybe I'll watch it with my mom on a weekend we're not busy. I remember watching it a lot as a kid and not fully understanding the plot, mostly because half of the plot is live action and I had a pretty short attention span when it came to anything live action as a kid. In fact, I almost exclusively watched animated stuff as a kid, which I guess explains my passion for animation as an adult. This movie gets a lot of love for the insane amount of crossover between so many different cartoon characters owned by different companies (it STILL feels surreal to see Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny on the same screen together, in an official capacity), but it manages to stay focused with a strong story with good characters. Man, though, I LOVE the concept of "toon logic" and "toon physics", and this movie plays with a lot of classic cartoon tropes, particularly where the villains and their not-so-secret weapon is concerned! Judge Doom himself, I remember him being a Toon was a big surprise for me, though I'm suppose any kid would be surprised watching this for the first time. See, to me, a "Toon" is wacky and colorful, while Doom was dark and restrained. Once he gets revealed as a Toon, he gets considerably more wacky, even if we never see what he truly looks like. As an adult, I now appreciate that even in the beginning there was always something "off" about him and his mannerisms. I also find his "boomerang bigotry" against his fellow Toons fascinating. He seems to show disdain for Toon, which makes me wonder if he truly hates them or just enjoys asserting his authority over them. He definitely gets annoyed when the Toon Patrol start laughing, though in that case it's more because he doesn't want them to laugh themselves to death. Oh, and then there's his plan to commit mass genocide against everyone in Toon Town just so he can build a freeway, which seems to be an in-joke based on the time period this movie takes place in, though the way he talks about his vision of a freeway is really... strange. It's like Eddie Valiant said, only a Toon would come up with a scheme this crazy. I also think it's a good move to give as little information about him as possible, up to and including not actually showing us what he really looks like; the mystery of who or what he even is makes him feel even more otherworldly and strange, enhance the creep factor behind him. Even still, I can't help but be a little curious about what kind of evil Toon he really was... I think the Toon Patrol is a nice little homage/throw-back to the weasels that originally appeared in The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad and subsequently made frequent appearances in Mickey Mouse-related media. The Chekhov's Gun of them laughing themselves to death is well-played, though the fact that Smartass, the most competent and restrained weasel actually dies from the Dip is actually rather disturbing. Heck, the Dip in general is a disturbing concept, it was easily one of the scariest concepts for me a kid, particularly after seeing that cute friendly Toon shoe get Dipped for no reason! Toon Logic dictates that Toons can survive almost anything thrown at them, and even if they do "die" like the weasels did, odds are they'll come back, same way characters killed in various Looney Tunes shorts often died but came back just fine in the next short. The permanence of being dissolved by the Dip is what makes Judge Doom and the Toon Patrol so dangerous and people to be avoided. I have to wonder though, would the Dip be as effective against Toons in the present day? The Dip is said to be a mixture of turpentine, acetone, and benzine, which are all paint thinners which, when combined in real life, can be used to wash ink off an animation cel. It makes that such a combination would be deadly to the Toons of old, but given that cel animation has fallen by the wayside in favor of digital animation, would it still work on Toons animated in that style? And that's to say nothing of 3D CGI Toons. Maybe I'm overthinking this... But hey, that's what we do around here.

[@AnimeJason2011]

Judge Doom is one scary dude. Evil to the core, who is more dangerous than all the corrupt corporate executives combined. His red eyes and high squeaky voice makes nails on a chalkboard feel like a girdling scream. Anyway, nicely done on this Disney Villain Retrospective video. And I know we are getting close to the villains of the Disney Renaissance themselves after the next video. I can't wait! 😁

[@LilyBannel]

This movie is one of a kind. Many have tried but I don't think they got the balance of for kids and adults like Roger Rabbit has. Either they go towards the kiddie route i.e. Space Jam or too adult like Cool World. To be fair, there is merit within those movies but to me they're missed potential. Doom is a fine line between cartoonish and depraved. Any other bad guy dropping a piano on someone's head would be laughed out a room or questioned heavily. If Joker did that it could work I guess but not many would get away with that. Also Doom won in real life. That can't be said for most villains. LA is full of freeways now.

[@AnaxErik4ever]

The importance of “nightmare fuel” Judge Doom can not be understated. For Christopher Lloyd or for the larger animated media universe, as a kid in the 90s or as adults looking back on this “film noir with grown-up knowledgeable cartoons” style mystery. Nice to learn those facts about the Wind in the Willows weasels being rebranded as a goon squad for Judge Doom. I knew it was possible to die from laughter, but I didn’t know hyenas sometimes did that in nature before you said it.

[@D.p663]

Great video Collin. But didn’t the original book have a genie as the villain who murdered roger. I was surprised you didn’t discuss him

Other actors considered for Doom include F. Murray Abraham, Peter O'Toole, Sting, and Roddy McDowall. Christopher Lee turned it down. Christopher Lloyd compared it to his role of Commander Kruge in Star Trek III: the Search for Spock, as they were both overly evil and fun to play.

[@KTChamberlain]

I'm surprised Judge Doom never said, "There's no kill quite like overkill" when he tries to kill Eddie Valliant in the film's climax. Too obvious? Maybe, but then again that's the point with Judge Doom. Even his very name lacks subtlety, just like a cartoon's calling card. The only things that were subtle about his character was the fact that he never blinked (I honestly missed that every time until you pointed that out, Colin) and that his clothes are constantly moving because of a fan from offscreen, even indoors, which Doug Walker pointed out as the Nostalgia Critic.

I've grown up with this movie and I am always glad to see it get some love. I think the second Roger Rabbit film screenplay did get used to some extent in the Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers movie. Roger even made a cameo in the first ten minutes of the movie with his original VA voicing him. I know the Retrospective series is mostly on movies, but I hope you can do one on the villains of Gargoyles one day. That show has a lot of interesting characters such as the tragic Demona and the ever-calculating Xanatos who got his own trope created because of him. (The Xanatos Gambit)

It's also worth mentioning that Tokyo Disneyland has a Toon Town as well as Car Toon Spin, unedited! Jessica is still in her classic outfit. Additionally, two of the figures that are static in the American version, Roger right as you enter the gag warehouse, and the unnamed weasel, actually have motion in the Tokyo version. It's definitely the better of the two!

Fun fact: In an episode of the DuckTales reboot (the Great Dime Chase), in the scene where Gyro sees his lightbulb robot going psychotic, he pulls out a list of all his other inventions that went evil. The list does contain Gyro’s inventions from the original DuckTales show, one of the items listed are the cogs from ToonTown. While not a full on cameo, it’s still great that the game got some acknowledgment from Disney. The game didn’t get referenced in properties like Epic Mickey or Wreck It Ralph.

Really, the sequel comic should have had the four weasels who 'died laughing' revive Doom: as you said, toon logic means they should be back and fine in the next cartoon. And of course they will want revenge for the permanent dip-induced death of smart guy/wise guy/smart ass.

Something i love of judge doom was what he meant on a meta level. Because the big technical achivement of the film was mixing animation with live action and the whole movie we got comfortable with the two interacting with each other. Judge doom on the other hand being both is offputting. It is the uncanny valley where it both looks like it fits but also doesn't. when his eyes are flashing colors or he is flying through the air. It really helps him stand out and being a threat to both sides

34:20 It looks like the "Koko" they're referring to is Koko the Clown, a character created by Fleischer Studios who first starred in a series of shorts called "Out of the Inkwell" that combined animation with live-action footage, much like Roger Rabbit. Koko also went on to appear in many Betty Boop cartoons as one of Betty's friends. It would have been so cool to see him in a Roger Rabbit sequel.

[@geoffreyrichards6079]

He technically appeared in the first film, though they seemed to have disguised him a bit by giving him different shaped hair and a colorful suit. My guess is maybe they thought they had the rights to the character but had to change him in the animation process to avoid copyright infringement. Kinda ironic now, given that the character is now largely in the public domain.

[@J.J.Doethe3rd]

I haven’t finished the video yet (I’m sure it’ll be very good!), I wanted to mention something that I thought even since you talked about Judge Doom’s link with Man. You say that we don’t know what cartoon Judge Doom is really and while it’s true it’s never said explicitly, there’s a hint that could reveal it. In the office of Maroon, there’s a poster of a movie called Pistol Packin Possum, which is a original character with red eyes and a revolver. Heck when Doom kills Maroon, Eddie notices his gun with the reflection on the poster, which aligns perfectly with the gun Possum is holding. So my and some other people’s theory is that Doom is actually Possum Edit: I see you mentioned it! Oopsie ^^’

I think the change to Jessica Rabbit's role in Car Toon Spin was less about her having a more "empowering" role, and more because seeing her in her sexy dress bound up in rope probably caused some scandal. Angry parents, weird fanboys, you know. That overcoat is very conservative by comparison, I'm just saying.

There's probably some truth to that. The reason I talked about it from an empowerment angle is because that's how the press releases described the changes, or at least strongly implied it.

[@KTChamberlain]

This is something of a pet theory I have, but since Jessica Rabbit was considered to be the villain in the movie at one point before it was wisely given to Judge Doom, I like to think that manga artist Hiromu Arakawa based the Homunculus Lust off of Jessica Rabbit and made her a villain and gave her jet black hair and a dress to match in her hit manga series Fullmetal Alchemist. I mean seriously, Lust looks and talks a lot like Jessica Rabbit so much so that at one point when I met Lust's English voice actress Laura Bailey at a convention, I actually filmed her saying the line "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way," and it was like I was hearing double.

Interestingly enough Robert Patrick was given the same direction to not blink in his role as the T1000. I find it interesting that these two villains have a LOT in common.

That comic version of Doom had something going for him, if they had made it that after his "accident" he couldn't go back to his real form anymore, which they shouldn't show to begin with, and could only take the forms of the previous villains he portrayed, with the only constant between them being his squeaky voice and red eyes, driving him mad and evil for not being able to be himself again.
