First Time Watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) - Movie Reaction

[@eduardopatraca3272]

Funny story: after the movie premiered, Bob Hoskins' son stopped talking to him for a week and when he asked him what was wrong he responded by saying he was upset because his dad worked with Bugs Bunny and other cartoons and didn't let him meet them.

[@3DJapan]

Kids in the 80s weren't so over protected as they are today. This movie is rated PG, for all ages with guidance from parents.

[@vaikkajoku]

Yea I was like 7 or 8 when I first saw this movie

[@bonchbonch]

I don't think kids today are overprotected. They're given iPads and access to every horrible thing on the internet.

[@John-tn7nm]

41:20 these are cartoon characters that many, many adults grew up watching. So this movie is for the adults who used to watch them when they were kids. It's pure nostalgia

11:30 Did you notice how he ordered his drink "on the rocks" -- and even though he realized the risk and clarified that he meant "with ice," he still got served with actual rocks in his glass? 😁

[@pedanticperson1149]

Re: This isn't a film for kids - It's a film for 80s kids, compared to some of the other stuff it's actually quite tame.

[@nikkfrostt]

I will never get over the shoe and the dip scene. As a kid the sound of it melting as it cries out before dying was such a brutal thing. Than again it cemented how evil the bad guy was. This is enhanced by how the shoe was innocent but still executed.

[@tomokokuroki8189]

Nya, certainly. It's a terrifying scene. But believe it or not, it could have been worse. The original idea was to use one of Snow White's squirrels instead of a shoe. And she had dialogue, pleading for her life and a fair trial!

[@VirtualBabe29]

Actually, the shoe was a criminal. It assaulted the morgue attendant by kicking him in a place that one should not be kicked in. Doom witnessed this, tried, sentenced, and executed the shoe without benefit of a formal trial. Even being accused of a crime was equivalent to being guilty, and dipping was the standard sentence for any toon.

[@Valecan]

One interesting detail about toons verse people in this world is that human are attracted to looks but toons find humor above all attractive. That is why Betty Boop says Jessica is a lucky gal with being married to Roger, he is considered one of the funniest toons in there world, so one of the most desired. While Jessica has the classic looks that humans find attractive.

[@Logan_Baron]

So Roger is like Brad Pitt in his prime.

Rogers ability to make people laugh is why no one would rat him out to Judge Doom.

[@fedos]

Touchstone was owned by Disney. They got permission from other studios to include their characters. Warner Bros had a requirement on equal screen time for certain characters, which is why in some scenes you have a Disney and Warner character on screen at the same time. They were also able to get many original voice actors, including for Betty Boop.

[@stevedavis5704]

So far this is the only time that the two studios have made a show together.

[@MrNoosphere]

Touchstone was also Disney's studio for it's more "risque" productions - hence Rodger Rabbit and its PG rating. The cartoons from Warner/Disney got equal screen time, but a Disney had to be the last on screen. Hence Porky Pig delivers the last line and Tinkerbell disappears him.

[@fedos]

@@stevedavis5704 They didn't make it together. Warner's involvement was giving permission for the use of their IP.

[@mrhobs]

@MrNoosphere Exactly. Any production that might even slightly tarnish Disney’s family friendly brand/image, they would just release under their Touchstone label. Kind of interesting how Disney at first wanted to keep their distance from The Nightmare Before Christmas, so they releases it under Touchstone, but after it became a successful holiday classic with lots of merchandising possibilities, and there was basically no concerned parents to worry about, they reclaimed it for the Disney brand and redid the title sequence years later, so it says “Walt Disney Presents” now, instead of Touchstone Pictures… which kind of annoys me. For the sake of historical accuracy (and nostalgia), I wanted the Touchstone logo! I was slightly surprised to see it here… guess Disney still doesn’t want their name on this one. Too risqué.

[@RobVanDelay_WholeFnContest]

Damn thats ao cool that its the original voice actress for Betty Boop! Guess the 30's are about as far removed from the 80s as the 70s are from the 2020s😵😵😵

[@thesurvivorofhathsin8486]

When this was made, it was a kid's movie. I watched it as a kid, and so did lots of adults. It was a movie for both. If you go back and watch a lot of the "kids" movies from the 70s and 80s and before, you will see that some of them are pretty freaky and scary to people now. Look at the Dark Crystal. That movie could be hellishly terrifying to a kid today. Maybe it is a difference in how people are now as opposed to then. Maybe some kids thought this or the Dark Crystal or lots of other movies we watched then were scary, but most didn't. They were awesome and fun, mostly because, at least for me, I knew it was just a movie, even as a kid, and could enjoy it as simple entertainment. Maybe the wonky special effects then or the obvious costumes due to the tech at the time helped. I don't know.

[@curtismartin2866]

It was always a movie for grown ups. It's just that there are people who think anything animated must be for kids.

[@Hiraghm]

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

This wasn't made for kids, despite the cartoons (hence, why Disney released the movie under its adult banner, Touchstone Pictures). It was a film noir murder mystery whodunit first & foremost. The cartoons were just an additional bonus for fans of classic animation.

[@michaelzabala4850]

Actually I can tell you as a child of the 80's, we used to watch this movie when I was in the 2nd grade in elementary school. It was a kids movie and was completely normal to us. Still one of my favorite movies as a child. Never scared me as a kid or anyone else my age not even once. Great movie reaction by the way 🙂. Keep them coming!

[@MGower4465]

32:06 In the day, it was found one release of this movie, I think it was Laserdisc, had an inserted frame looking up Jessica's dress as she spins around. Animators had a habit if doing things like that - a single frame is impossible for the eye to catch, but it does register as peculiar to the brain. So people buy the movie to watch and figure it out. This was similar to the alleged "subliminal messaging" allegedly inserted in a number of movies and the supposed "backward masking" in hard rock albums.

[@alexanderson6371]

It's still watchable by kid today, Kids were watching "Grave of the firefly" and weren't as traumatized as adults when it was released in France, And not because they didn't get it, kid are much more resilient and understand more than people give them credit for especially if adults around them interact and talk about what they're watching.

4:43 "Whatever happened to Touchstone? Are they still a thing?" Wow, what a timely question! I did a little research, and apparently Disney recently consolidated their brands to reduce costs. They closed the Touchstone distribution label in 2008 as part of this process.

[@gallendugall8913]

Touchstone became increasingly involved in not family friendly productions and Disney cared about that back then.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

​@@gallendugall8913 No, not really. That was the whole reason Touchstone existed: to release non-G-rated films for Disney Studios that didn't exactly fit under the Disney brand.

[@Logan_Baron]

@@gallendugall8913 Well that was the whole point of the Touchstone label. To release movies that didn't fit the "Kids" Disney mold, but still being put out by the Disney company, by having a seperate label.

I think you underestimate a lot of what CHildren can comprehend. I watched it as a kid and some subtilities may not have impacted me as much, but honnestly children can understand a detective mystery, and even the Inuendo's part, Children aren't as innocent as you think. and this movie is a fond child memory.

[@Pixelologist]

SO much lingo....and much of it 1940's-specific. For example, if your wife is having an affair, she's playing pattycake on you. The joke, of course, is that the pictures show her playing a literal game known as pattycake. And when Roger flips through the pictures really quickly, it reproduces the way the illusion of motion in film actually works. I love this movie on so many levels.

Believe it or not, Looney Tunes were actually created for adults, not kids. I loved this movie (as an adult, I'm old) back when it came out. One of most prized possessions was a photo of me with my arm around Jessica Rabbit. All right, it was a wooden cutout Jessica Rabbit, but still. Unfortunately, that photo disappeared in one of my many moves since 1988. I mourn it still.

I took the bus 15 miles each way to see this movie in the theater at the mall with my friends for $1.50 about 6 times when I was 11 years old. We always got there early enough to hit the arcade first and pick up some gummy worms at the candy store to sneak in, too. It was a different time. A far better one, if you ask me.

[@RobVanDelay_WholeFnContest]

Arcades and movies, what a great time

[@MrNoosphere]

This movie is also about the General Motors streetcar conspiracy - where car manufactures bought up the LA tramcar system and trashed it and replaced the services with busses and lobbied the city council to build freeways. Making the whole city dependant on cars (or at least busses) to get around.

[@SajirouPlays]

Several small things you notice on repeat viewings, Doom's teeth are comically white and don't look to fit in his mouth just right. During the Shave and Haircut scene you can see him getting slowly more and more close to saying "two bits" even looking to start whispering the jingle. Showing he's a toon unable to resist for long. When the dip is tipped over, he actively recoils to get away from it. When he trips on the fake eyes and comes back up, he'd holding his eye cuz it fell out amongst the others. If anyone else spotted more than that, feel free to add here.

[@USCena]

The one part of Chris walking through the eyeball field is such a cool moment. I have no clue how many takes they had to do just to get it right. His character purposely walks through it, stumbles, readjusts his balance and doesn’t bust his ass, lose concentration or eye contact, and is able to continue his monologue flawlessly. Just adds to the inhuman, determined and uncanny valley side of Judge Doom along with Christopher Lloyd being the consummate professional.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Also, when he infamously DIPS the Squeaky Shoe (voiced by Nancy Cartright, so basically just imagine Bright Eyes from the 1986 version of _Pound Puppies_ in the Squeaky Shoe's place & you have a general idea of how insidious cruel the appropriately named JUDGE DOOM could be), he puts an adhesive rubber glove over his already gloved Toon hand to keep it from getting melted off by the DIP (paint thinner combined with ink remover).

[@CaddyJim]

There's a saying called laughing yourself to death which is what are happening to the weasels

"Is this a toon club?" Sorta. The Ink & Paint Club is a reference to segregation era establishments where the staff and performers were minorites but only white customers were admitted. So all the staff and acts are toons, but they don't serve toons 😅 Just a little nod to America's racist history in a kids movie...

[@amandamiquilena]

OH WOW, I would have never imagined. Thanks for the explanation.

[@curtismartin2866]

​@@amandamiquilenaYes. In Fact "Toon Town" is a thinly veiled reference to (forgive me) "Coon Town" 🤮 The plot is a allusion to real events. Back in the 40's, the car and bus and tire companies conspired to buy up the mass transit lines -like the Red Line in Los Angeles - and then build freeways. In many cases, the new freeways erased or severely damaged African-American and Hispanic neighborhoods. On purpose. Judge Doom is the embodiment of General Motors, Good Year and Robert Moses.

Fun Fact: the lead role of Eddy in this movie was actually supposed to be Bill Murray but the Director and producers literally could not get ahold of him so they went with their second option Bob Hoskins. Bill Murray found out about this years later during an interview on the Howard Stern show, and was very upset he missed an opportunity to be in Roger rabbit.

[@88wildcat]

I love Murray but Hoskins was a better choice. Murray would have never played the role as straight up as Hoskins did. He would have played it like he did Frank Cross in Scrooged and it wouldn't have worked here. You can't have the detective be more over the top than Roger Rabbit is.

The 1980s were a very different time. This was intended for kids, and everyone else, just like many other movies of the time that were much more graphic. The whole idea of things even just being appropriate for certain age groups was a concept that was still just coming together. This was around the time when PG-13 was invented after Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was rated PG even though it had a guy's heart getting ripped out when he was still alive. Those days, probably half the population thought that kids seeing gruesome stuff would "toughen them up" and get them ready for the real world, or something like that. People weren't so protective, back then. Nightmares were expected.

But I don't expect her to ever watch that movie or to have the same reaction to it. She has an entirely different background, and that's what makes her videos so compelling to me. The absolute last thing I ever want to see is some white American dude's opinion of a movie or TV show. THAT'S ME. I don't need that. I want to hear from the people with distance, with perspective. Infinitely more interesting to me. So much more valuable.

Congratulations on the Patreon. Yes it was created for people who watched these cartoon characters on television from the 1950’s through the early 1980’s. It was a very big hit and it took quite a bit of cooperation between not only Disney and Warner Brothers but a few other studios as well such as MGM and Hanna-Barbera.

Fun facts: There are three Roger Rabbit short animations. "Tummy Trouble" Trail Mix-up" and Rollercoaster Rabbit". -Because she's an animated human, Jessica is the toon equivalent of *light enough to pass.* Her marrying Roger is her way of climbing the social ladder. -the sub plot was a proposed second sequel to "Chinatown".

[@nl817]

The name of the duck with Donald Duck is Daffy Duck. You didn't ask much about "Patty Cake"; its just a game you play with young kids where you kind of sing and clap your hands together in various ways. It was also used as a euphemism for sex in this movie or so everyone thinks, then you see the photos and realize they really were playing some kids game with each other, hence the joke. Watching people react to Doom's steam rolling and his screaming voice with knife eyes is always fun.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

Actually, the pattycake scene is multi-layered. The sex euphemism (which is still a thing, even now, but used most in the 1940's when the movie is set) remains applicable, as does the kid's game. But the third thing that the morally questionable photos are good for is, since it is just pictures of Marvin Acme & Jessica Rabbit playing "pattycake" together (making it family appropriate, rather than actual Rule 34 between a human [specifically the owner of Toon Town] & a Toon [Jessica Rabbit, Roger's saucy & buxom wife]), when a dejected Roger angrily flipped through the photos, the fluidity of his movements began causing the "pattycake" scene to actually play out in real time, much like an old-school animator's animation flipbook.

[@jamesspanglet6702]

This wasn't made for kids. It was made for adults that grew up with these cartoon characters.

[@ElewIV]

It was a great kids movie. 90s kids were just built different.

[@toddcribbs6844]

Love your reactions you had me smiling all the way through

[@ThunderLizardsRule]

36:27 Nice to hear I'm not the only one who thought the glue looks like gooey boogers. 😆

[@brunomessiasss]

Here in Brazil characters have diferent names too. I never heard "Pato Lucas" before, here is "Patolino". Great vídeo. 😊

[@GlamityJean]

I think I watched this movie for the first time when I was around 7 years old, the scene where Doom gets rolled over and stand back up was nightmare fuel lol

[@boletus8290]

They put you in another episode of Invincible

[@CoastalNomad]

Great Reaction Video... Disney and Warner Brothers had stipulations that their cartoon characters had to have equal screen time..... It is believed that Robert Zemecks cast Christopher Lloyd as Judge Doom to prevent the sutdio from trying to film "Back the Future 2/3" without him directing.... The speakeasy room created an Effect now called "rocking the lamp".... cause of how the shadows rock with the lamp... "Harvey (the Rabbit)" is a 1944 play, they made into a Movie with James Stewart in 1950..... "DIP" is made from Acetone and another chemical that are used to "Clean" animation cells/film...... In the club, Betty Boop is voiced by Mae Questel, who Ariginally voiced the Character Betty Boop and Oylive Oil in the original Cartoons, and provides the "Blessing" in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation..... Jessica Rabbit's Voice is Kathleen Turner (Romancing the Stone).... Other movies with Human/Animatied scenes: Anchors Aweigh (1945), Song of the South (1946), Mary Poppins (1964), Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), Cool World (1992), Space Jam (1996). There are more but these are the ones that spring to mind......

It’s worth saying that in the 1980’s and 1990’s, in general you didn’t have the same attitudes about “protecting” children from content that included violence, or even topics like sex and death. After all, like you said, cartoonish violence was commonplace in cartoons. (As the old director of the Coyote and Road Runner cartoons said, the rule was that the Coyote needed to be more humiliated than hurt by any violence that befell him.). Topics like sexual attraction were around both in cartoons and live-action shows that kids and teens watched. I often think of “Hello Nurse” from the acclaimed 90’s cartoon Animaniacs, and how her character is all but removed from the current revival on Hulu. I’ll let others debate whether then or now are better (I definitely grew up unaware of a lot of misogyny and stereotypes I was being exposed to), but it was definitely different in those days.

[@henrytjernlund]

When I grew up in the 60s, cartoons had lots of violence in them. My favorite were the Road Runner cartoons. I don't think there were any scientific studies that were able to prove any harm. But some would still force their opinions on others through their legislators. Anyway, it is a fun and funny movie. Thanks for the reaction.

[@ShawnBettasso-rn9kk]

This movie is definitely not funny

[@markcarpenter6020]

Who says it ain't for kids? I was lik 10 when I watched this. Remember in the 1980s there were Saturday morning cartoons based on R-rated movies.

[@richiecabral3602]

I think you're missing the point that adults were once children, and these were the cartoons that they watched when they were, so there's a lot of nostalgia for them. Besides, I was a kid when this came out, and people were less concerned about what their children watched, did, or felt back then as compared to now. At least my parents didn't give much of a shit, but when I watch younger people like yourself react to these things, you'd be surprised at how much we used to do as children, and how little parental supervision or care we had. We were left alone, and didn't even have a cartoon rabbit to watch us. We just had a TV, where we watched them, and that's the point. This movie was made for all those adults that had once been kids that were raised by a television. I thought the whole freeway bit was clever as a kid. Like just making fun of our current culture, at least in Los Angeles, but I really didn't get how clever it was until I got older, and learned the historical context. One of the things that makes Los Angeles so unique as a city is that it's so spread out over such a large area. Most cities in America, particularly older ones on the East coast, were built on a European model. Meaning that there was a downtown, or old town, and over time, the city grew outwards with the downtown being the center of the city. Los Angeles had originally been like that too, and there was a rail system for public transportation, and everything, just like in most cities, but after World War 2, automotive interests, like Firestone Tires who owned a huge factory here, bought up the rail system and ripped it out of the ground to force people to buy cars. Once people had cars and were mobile, we had lots of open space, so everything spread out all over the place. Downtown Los Angeles today, doesn't really hold any significance as the heart of the city. In my own lifetime, after this movie was made, the city of Los Angeles has spent probably billions of dollars rebuilding a metro system, but it's really not that effective. Compared to Europe, public transportation in America, outside a handful of cities, is pretty shitty in general, but it's particularly true in Los Angeles because everything is spread out so far, that the infrastructure needed to cover it all is just too much. In LA, you really do need to have a car to survive, and any real estate where the cars go, is worth an unbelievable amount of money.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

I still feel sad about that cartoon shoe the Judge dipped. It probably had a mate.

[@0okamino]

A sole mate?

[@StoryMing]

It DID. You can see both of the pair running around among all the other loose shoes. Also, just to note- while the punishment was definitely *_WAY_* too severe… the shoe isn’t quite perfectly innocent either! Watch again carefully- the part when the buzzer gets dropped.

[@JamesASharp]

I see your point. But as an 80s baby, I saw this movie as kid after its theatrical run. A lot of it flew over my head of course. 😂😂😂😂😂 Great reaction! 👍🏿

[@MulberryBuccaneer]

"Carrot Cake", Roger is a rabbit, and rabbits love carrots. 🙂 At the beginning, when the intro cartoon ends, something naughty happens. As Baby Herman passes underneath the woman's dress, he does something very adult with his finger. This was in the original film run in theaters, and on at least the first release on VHS in '89 or '90. It was only caught after the movie was released on video. I saw proof of this when I was inside the Disney Animation Studios in Buena Vista, Florida on a bulletin board. Nine frames was all it took. It's what they call a hidden Easter egg within the movie. Disney films with two frames for every movement, so technically it was 18 frames in less than one second. If you have access or ownership of one of the first VHS runs, it will be on there. Save it, because it is a collectors gem. Disney has since corrected this. It was in 1991 when I saw that Disney had caught this "Easter egg". BTW - I have handled or been in all those cars, trucks, and vehicles used in this movie. Some of them were even used in filming Dick Tracy. I love watching your reactions Amanda! 😀

[@Stratelier]

10:30 - Pato Lucas, English Name "Daffy Duck". 13:55 - Yep, "pattycake" was being played as a metaphor for an affair, but as shown in the photos it was also played literally as a joke for the audience (and the movie ratings board).

[@Lunarbob19]

Was judge doom really so predictable to you when you were repeatedly saying that Jessica was guilty and didn't love Roger, and maybe she was lying?

[@justindenney-hall5875]

The beautiful and charming Amanda graces us once again.

[@MichFedorchak]

I was 12 when this came out, and I loved it when I saw in the theater, obviously I didn't get some of the references.

[@SchulzEricT]

Zemeckis, a legend. He also did the Back to the Future trilogy. Obviously Chris Lloyd was Doc in BttF and the Judge in WFRR. Zemeckis has other stuff that would be recognizable, but the BttF trilogy and WFRR are the all-time classics.

[@Alex-dh2cx]

I love how they hint the baddy was a toon from his very first appearance.

[@antoniolugo37]

The part where your mom participates was the best 😂

[@vjpearce]

Amanda: This movie is NOT for kids. Me: Kids were made of sterner stuff in the 80's. I was 7 when I first watched this.

[@Rampage0303]

Jessica and Marvin were not having sex. They were playing a game called Patty Cake. But the term "patty-cake" is euphemism for sex or an affair. 😁

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

To be fair, the "pattycake" photos would have been genuine Rule 34 if the film didn't have a PG family-oriented rating. Then again, if that were so, we'd be in Jim Belushi's _Cool World_ rather than _Who Framed Roger Rabbit_ instead.

[@McBeelzebub]

Also,she loved him. ^_^. Power of laughter

[@toddcribbs6844]

Me and my best friend Sold Out movie in the theaters when we were really young we got such a kick out of that movie who framed Rodger rabbit it was awesome

[@TheCryptofHorrors-DerCryptaxis]

Fun thing on the foreign names for Donald Duck, its something rather unique in Italian, and the english title of the Lucio Fulci film "Don't Torture A Duckling" is an approximation from the Italian for "Don't Torture Donald Duck" (a broken Donald Duck toy is a clue in that film's murder mystery).

[@TheCryptofHorrors-DerCryptaxis]

"Paperino Paperotto" == Donald Duck, and the full Fulci Film is "Non si sevizia un paperino" for those curious. Google turns that into "you don't torture a little duck" but you get the idea
