When toons die "toon deaths" they can always come back in the next episode. Dip is permanent.

[@0okamino]

Yeah, it goes right along with Roger only being able to slip out of the cuffs “when it was funny.” Things like that are as inviolable for Toons as the parameters of physics is for us. If something is supposed to “knock ‘em dead” from laughing, they have to go along with it, even though it’s presumably only temporary for them (except Smarty, who got Dipped).

[@mistojen]

Because Dip is made of the components used to "erase" paint from animation cells.

The woman who voiced Betty Boop was the 1st woman to voice her when she came out. A bunch of original people voiced their characters. The penguins at the club were from " Mary Poppins ". No cgi. Fun movie even as a kid. Disney agreed to be in the movie as long as they had the same amount of screen time as the other toons. The man who voiced Roger Rabbit also voiced Benny the cab. He had a cameo in " Back to The Future 2" , when Marty is in the future talking to a guy about the Cubs winning the world series. Robert Zemekis did both these movies.

Movie is a take-off of all the film noir types from the '40's-'50's, with the hard-drinking hard-speaking private detective and the fem fatale who may or may not be the villain. Jessica Rabbit wears her hair over one eye, a very distinctive look based on pin-up girl of the era, Veronica Lake.

[@HuntingViolets]

Veronica Lake did four films with Alan Ladd, three of which (_This Gun For Hire, The Glass Key,_ and _The Blue Dahlia)_ were film noir. Seems like they took her hairstyle and Rita Hayworth's hair color to make Jessica. Lake was also quite petite.

This movie actually did quite well at the box office. It was the long development & preproduction, licensing issues, multiple rewrites. The animation director was famously ANNOYED to be working on this movie so long, he considered it trite & wanted to work on his passion piece... the Thief & the Cobbler. Kinda crazy that now days, Who Framed Roger is considered a masterpiece, pioneering animation techniques, while the Thief & the Cobbler is almost unheard of. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is lightning in a jar, they couldnt make a movie like this these days, licensing for the characters alone would be exponentially more costly than it was back then

I'm so glad you noticed the shifting light in the secret room. There's an industry term in animation called "bumping the lamp" that's named after that moment. It means you go the extra mile and add additional flourishes to make your work truly impressive. They didn't have to bump the lamp and have the shadows shift around during that scene, but they chose to, to really flex their creative muscles and show off what they can do. :)

One of the times when we see Disney and Warner Bros, and other classic characters come together in the same film. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is still a marvelous gem of a film to me because of the use of live action and animation at that point in time. Always a pleasure to watch.🙂

So, this film was _hand animated_ at 24 frames/second when cartoons were normally animated at 12 fps (known as animating "on twos"). The lighting and shadow effects on the Toons was also hand-painted, and is a major reason the result works so well.

Toons are attracted to humor. Jessica isn't a funny character so she's low on the toon dating pool. Roger is one of the funniest toons so he's top of the heap. So for Toons Jessica was punching WAY above her weight class.

[@PacDork]

Congrats! You’ve seen the best movie ever made! This was HUGE when it came out, and led to audiences respecting animation as ART and not just Saturday Morning schlock for kids. The movie’s success led to the animation boom of the 90s. Roger Rabbit led to The Simpsons and adult animation, Ren & Stimpy and the new creative funny shows for kids, Batman The Animated Series, Aladdin, Lion King,etc. Roger was the key that unlocked it all.

I sometimes think I miss beer and wine, but I know I have lost the taste for it by now. I never got really out of control with it, but I was just having it WAY too regularly and it was starting to affect my weight and liver (even though I would rarely get "drunk"). I have a video about it from 3 years ago on my channel somewhere, before I really leaned into the movie videos and would put up more random stuff.

[@HuntingViolets]

This is based on the novel, _Who Censored Roger Rabbit?_ -- which is rather different from the movie. The author liked the movie so much that he wrote two sequels set in the movie-version world, and his original book was decanonized (or at least in a different canon) as just a dream Jessica had. I've read the book more than once, though. Roger is a model for comic strips and the toon characters speak in bubbles over their heads like in a comic, although some, like Jessica, also use human speech. You can see that this wouldn't have been as cinematic. Kathleen Turner is Jessica's voice. You can see her in _Body Heat, V.I. Warshawsi, Romancing the Stone, Prizzi's Honor,_ and _Peggy Sue Got Married,_ among other things.

[@spinningtornado4543]

8:11 Judging by the situation and the way Roger reacted to it, the idea is that Patty-cake to us humans is a just game but to Toons, it is the way they get intimate with each other. Remember, Toons work, think and act very differently from humans. The movie showed this time and time again like when Roger explained to Eddie how laughter meant everything to them and was even their only mean to feel valuable or when Roger could only escape the cuffs when it was perfectly timed for a joke. Their social norma don't align with human's including for their relationships. It's just another instance of good world building.

[@XcaptainXobliviousX]

"you cant kill a toon" is one thing, but a toon can do anything it needs in order to facilitate the logic of its medium. in fact, the movie sort of implies that toons are bound by this logic as firmly as we're bound to the earth by gravity. roger can slip through a mail slot, stab his eyes out of an electrical socket, ride a toilet flush like a portal to the plot, smash a perfect silhouette through a wall or a window, etc, he's up and totally unfazed after the abuse of how many takes of that opening scene animation again? taken all together he's basically a small god, he should be unstoppable. but it all comes back to the handcuffs. of course he could slip out of them. but only when it was funny. and i think thats more literal than most people read it. so the weasels. you cant kill a toon. but is turning into a cartoon angel and playing yourself off stage on a harp as you float up to heaven the kind of "death" we're talking about really? they still literally physically exist. theyve transformed visually and the way theyre logically bound to interact with the scene has transformed, but they arent gone in the sense that the poor loafer is gone. or, was it simply the funniest way for things to play out according to the cartoon logic doom unwittingly set up with his repeated refrain?

[@josearroyo8008]

A truly unique movie original for its time

[@DelGuy03]

As others have testified, this was a HUGE hit on initial release. And even though it may not have been "good for them," a lot of kids saw it. My nephew was 7 at the time, and he simply enjoyed it on the basis of having all his favorite animated characters together in one movie. There was talk of a sequel, and in fact the idea has never quite gone away. More than one script has been written, one being a prequel about Roger's earlier years, and I believe some animation tests were done. But by now it seems pretty definite that it'll never happen. However, 3 more Roger Rabbit shorts were made, shown before various studio features. Many of the toon voices were done by specialists in the field. But Jessica was voiced by a real movie star, Kathleen Turner, with Amy Irving for the singing.

[@cliffchristie5865]

The box office was huge. This was the most profitable film of 1988. While some toons were voiced by their original actors, Droopy - the Toontown elevator operator - was played by this film's animation director Richard Williams. In addition to Roger, Charles Fleischer also voiced Benny the cab and two of the weasels. Many of the props were on rods, manipulated from below, with the toons animated over it to complete the effect.

[@dianedavid3052]

If I remember rightly I was around 12. It was very well received. It was considered a family film, but in the 80’s everybody watched everything, if you owned a copy it got watched, we weren’t really censored too much at all. I would never let my kids watch the stuff we watched as kids, but it’s probably responsible for my love of film so … I remember thinking Doom was terrifying but otherwise it was simply outstanding. The lead up to release had them showing clips of how it was made and promos with Bob Hoskins and RogerI don’t believe sequels were an option because the cost at the time would have been astronomical. I think you’re going to enjoy the Making Of… I watched it again last year and I was still gobsmacked given the time 😊

[@DanJackson1977]

The reason why they don't make more movies like this is the same reason they hadn't made them before this... its IMPOSSIBLY hard. Disney struggled for almost a decade to figure out how to make this movie... So much so that when Spielberg and Zemekis took it over they had to hire a ringer to do the animation (imagine a time when Disney was thought of as not being up to an animation task). They fo3hnd an indie genius thst could animate in ANY style.. Disney, WB, MGM, Fleicher... that was Richard Williams. He'd been making commercials and movie intro credit sequences with animation for decades before this... Each one required a different style. That's where he mastered mixing live action with animation. Before this when they would mix the 2 they had to lock the camera down so that there was no change in perspective. Richard told them to just film the movie normally and he would figure out the camera persoective and lighting.... and they asked him isn't that going to be hard... He said "Yeah it's going to be hard and it's going to be a lot more expensive but that's our job." Keep in mind too this was the era just before cgi... So every single thing you see here was done by hand... Or was a robot underneath where the animation would go. One of the last analog blockbusters. Bob Hoskins who plays Eddie deserves some big credit because his performance.. acting to nothing... grounds this movie and makes you believe it. He had to learn how to lock his eyes on a spot just in front of his nose when talking to Roger.. since its just thin air hes talking to... And it eventually made him hallucinate seeing things. BTW, Touchstone was Disney's subsidiary... it was where theyd relesse movies that were PG13 or R rated.

[@NealMarchuk]

Great reaction to an 80s classic, and a film that's awesome in so many ways. I especially appreciate how you noticed one of those awesome parts of the movie -- the swinging ceiling lamp in the secret room. It must have taken the animators ages to get the lighting and shadows just right on Roger to match the lamp's motion. They didn't have to include that -- Bob Hoskins could have simply avoided the lamp -- but they put it in anyway. This scene is the origin of the phrase "bumping the lamp". Another amazing aspect of this film is one you also talked about: The sheer number of famous toon characters, from so many studios (not just Disney and WB). It was the result of a once in a lifetime agreement among them, and it's not likely to ever be repeated in the future. As far as I know, that's the main reason why this movie never had a sequel. Very astute of you to notice the chaotic nature of the toons -- it really isn't malicious on their part, it's just how they are. And that's why the movie depicts a fair bit of antipathy and prejudice towards them in human society. Eddie Valiant is the most overt example, but there are others, such as the Ink and Paint Club. There, the toons are allowed to work and perform, but they can never be members -- it's essentially a toon version of Harlem's Cotton Club. So "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" also includes commentary on racism and discrimination.

“Toons are so powerful” Yup, thats why any form of “toon force” in a power scaling matchup immediately trumps 99% of powers… Also, this was probably the single largest cross-universe colab ever to be turned into a feature film, its actually very impressive how many they got.

1. The first time I saw this was in the middle of the ocean. My ship (USS Tripoli LPH-10) was doing a "Tiger Cruise". That's where crew members could bring "male only" family/friends to join us from Hawaii to San Diego. There were displays set up on the hanger bay. For entertainment there was an area to watch movies. This was one of them. 2. There had to be equal time for Disney and HB characters. 3. LOVE the adult inuendo 4. Christopher Lloyd as the heavy. 5. One of the cartoon bullets is the voice of Pat Buttram. He played Mr. Haney on "Green Acres". 6. This was Mae Questel's/Betty Boop's third to last gig. Her last was" Christmas Vacation". (RIP) 7. To make it look more realistic they painted shadows into some scenes. 8. The tunnel going into Toon Town is the same one they use in the "Back to the Future" movies. 9. Favorite character is the Baby

if anyone else hasnt already said so, the animation was done by the LEGENDARY Richard Williams, famous for his attention to detail and lavish excess in animation. the whole movie was done on ones, thats one raw frame of animation per frame of film, which is completely wild. if you wanna see something super cool, check out the 'Recobbled Cut' his unfinished masterpiece, The Thief & The Cobbler.

I was born in 87, and grew up watching it, and it was popular with us. Definitely not just a cult film back then.

[@sasamichan]

this was a hit. Huge oy line, kicked off other networks to make toon focusses shows. Had imitators. It made a few shorts and some TV movies but after a while rights issues between different studios made sequels impossible but the charters were at the Disney park for a while

[@traydevon]

The only thing about this movie that scared me as a child was Lena Hyena. "A man!!!" I had nightmares about her chasing me like she was chasing Eddie, lol.

[@a.g.demada5263]

I saw the movie some years ago and she scared me too (and conti ue to scare me)

[@HuntingViolets]

This isn't really a cult classic. It's more just a classic. It's for kids and adults, really. It was the second-highest grossing film of 1988 (Wikipedia), but it was only meant to be a stand-alone, although a few animated shorts were made.

[@cadehamilton3845]

What about another hilarious classic movie like Bebe's Kids if you haven't seen it it's great 🎉😂

[@amerk6601]

This movies takes a few viewings before you are not too distracted by the live action and cartoon combo and can finally focus on the story and clues. I've seen this movie a dozen times or so, but this the first time I caught the scene where Doom falls and holds his hand over his eye and wouldn't have noticed had it not been for JV's reaction to that bit.

[@darastarscream]

Oh no, I was there and we loved every minute. 35 years on, I still do. The main issue with sequels is licensing-- it took *years* for the owners of all these IPs to hammer out an acceptable deal.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Pretty sure the rule was for every WB character a Disney character had to have equal screen time. Which is...fair

[@MikeGuerrero]

I believe they also had to have the same amount of dialogue.

[@darrylcarden1851]

While there wasn’t a sequel, there were other movies that tried to capitalize on Roger Rabbit’s success. Cool World is a good example of another for adults animated and live action mix movie that came after but just didn’t get it right.

[@unripetheberrby6283]

You never saw this before? Awesome lol 😁 Yeah! Doom getting run over by the steamroller is real scary and grotesque!!(and kinda funny-) It's great I luv it! 28:13 Jessica had so much suspense she nearly passed out! 😂

[@mugwump242]

Can't verify but what I've heard: Warner Bros. and Disney's characters had to get exactly the same amount of screen time. That was part of the (difficult to broker) agreement reached to allow this movie's makers to proceed. Also, this movie wanted to use the period-accurate appearances of the cartoon characters. WB objected because they wanted this movie to promote their present-day productions (e.g., 1988's Porky Pig didn't look exactly the same as 1947's). This movie's makers didn't like that but agreed to it (because they were over a barrel). However, they had their fingers crossed behind their back when they agreed. They secretly made the movie with the historic appearances... figuring, once WB found out, the movie would be at the point of release and WB would get over it. The contention between WB and Disney over every little thing was astounding.

[@cadehamilton3845]

How about we do Bebe's Kids too ?!😂 It's a classic funny movie don't you think 😂🎉

[@dutchkreutzer6909]

Fun story (possibly). In 88, 3 friends and I, who all had just got discharged from the Navy, went to this movie at the theater.....on acid.

[@PSIGuardian2]

They did other shorts with Roger Rabbit. Mixing cartoon and real world like this was very expensive back then.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

You'd be amazed how old some movie techniques are.

[@BeboRulz]

**P.S. I saw this when I was 11 & it was great! Us 80's kids were a different breed 😬**

The 80's was wild

[@devynjohnson317]

I remember going as a family to see this. It was awesome

[@ivanelugo]

Disney+ had some Roger Rabbit cartoon shorts

[@erichousley448]

I was a very young kid and watching this movie when my parents was a sleep

[@dswxyz2]

As I understand it, they decided to only use cartoons from before television, so that's why there's no Flintstones or Yogi Bear, for example. They also had a limited budget for buying licensing for the characters, and whoever owns Popeye asked for too much, so that's why Popeye is absent. They made three Roger Rabbit shorts after the movie, but the characters original to Roger Rabbit are co-owned by two different owners, and they got into a disagreement on how to use Roger, I think it was when the Dick Tracy movie came out, and as far as I know, that effectively killed any chance of future Roger Rabbit cartoons.

[@LCMucke14]

15:17 This is a reference to the 1950 movie Harvey. It's about a man named Elwood who enjoys life together with his best friend Harvey who is a 1, 92 m tall white rabbit only Elwood can see. Great movie by the way.

I'm right there with you, eight years sober. Most of the people here won't realize how life-changing it can be. Good for you.

How about we do Bebe's Kids too ?!😂 It's a classic funny movie don't you think 😂🎉

[@cadehamilton3845]

We should watch Bebe's Kids next😂‼️They are hilarious, it's a classic movie 😂🎉 How about it😅😂🎉

[@Malaika924]

Disney agreed to the use of their legacy characters (Mickey, Tinkerbell, Pinochio, Donald Duck, etc.) only if they were given equal time with Warner Bros. toons, which is why there's the unnecessary Tinkerbell cameo with Porky Pig at the end.

[@kevinkunkel9444]

You have it reversed. Warner Brothers lent their toons to Disney.

[@bwilliams463]

I still snicker at the oven brand name: 'HOTTERNELL.' This movie is beautiful; the toons and humans work together almost flawlessly on the screen. There was one other major 2D/live action movie at the time: 'Cool World,' which came out in 1992. I don't think the animation and live footage worked together nearly as well as 'Roger Rabbit,' and it's also a totally different vibe. You've got areal gift for voices, sir. And I congratulate you on your sobriety; I know from long experience what alcohol abuse can do to your mind and body. I've been dry for five years now, myself.

[@ellenwennberg4973]

Eighties kids like myself (84), did watch this movie. It wasn't nessesary to make sense of it all as long as some of it was vibing with us. 😄 And we watched stuff that undoubtibly would be pg rated now. I also remember watching the movie Burglar with Whoopi Goldberg a ton without understanding it all. It’s a movie I strongly recommend as no one has reacted to it!

[@Drawkcabi]

You do Droopy's voice better than they did in this movie. 😊

[@cadehamilton3845]

How about we do another hilarious classic movie like Bebe's Kids 😂😂🎉it's great 😂!!! Please Bebe's Kids 😂

Another classic we should do is Bebe's Kids 😂🎉 it's a classic hilarious funny movie ‼️

[@HobGungan]

So Touchstone Pictures was Disney. They used the Touchstone label for anything they wanted to produce that didn't fit the "Disney Brand". Famously, Nightmare Before Christmas was originally a Touchstone film until about ten years later when kids who grew up with it started buying all the Hot Topic merch and THEN they decided it was worth putting their name on.

[@FarmHandJoe]

You now have to check out Chip'N'Dale Rescue Rangers (2022).

[@sean-ew2qv]

Cel by cel were handcrafted to create this film. The number of hours to make this movie is bonkers.

[@joeconcepts5552]

The movie did well enough that you saw a lot of Roger at Disney's Hollywood Studios, which opened a year after the movie (though still called "Disney-MGM Studios"). His presence faded from there, but Disneyland in California STILL has a Roger Rabbit ride.

[@cadehamilton3845]

Please another great movie would be Bebe's Kids😂 😂!! Don't you think it's a great classic laugh 😂🎉

[@just-a-working-male]

They acted out first with rigs then the animations were painted in after hiding the puppetry

[@cadehamilton3845]

Bebe's Kids is an emergency need😂😂

[@wolfmacleod]

Great reaction, you should enjoy the Chip and Dale movie

[@DavidRomigJr]

Yeah, it’s like a spiritual successor. Roger Rabbit even makes a brief cameo.
