“I bought the red car so I could dismantle it.” In real life, the auto companies did actually buy up all the trolleys and trams in the country and destroy them so that the interstate highway system would have no competition from public transportation. Truly disgusting.

And it came with good timing, the trams were not doing too well financially and were in dire need of a modern replacement.

The dark and obscured glasses imply that he's hiding something or there is some sort of emotional or social distance from him and everyone else. If you look closely enough, you can see his eyes, and you'll notice that his eyes are constantly wide open and he never blinks. 1: It implies that he is a psychopath, and 2: It betrays the fact that his eyes are fake and he's actually a toon.

And adding to the fact that Judge Doom was a toon himself but not like the others but rather a toon with such realistic human goals and ambitions that he was willing to commit _genocide_ (an exclusive human trait) against his own people to fulfill that goal makes him so much more than "just a toon" but even less human that he pretended to be.

@@johnmayer4178 Ethyl Acetate is a specific, individual chemical. Yes, it's a solvent used for that plus other things. It's also clear. Dip is not Ethyl Acetate, it's a combination of other solvents that are specifically named in the movie: Turpentine, Acetone, and Benzine. The joke is that it's three different common solvents used in paint removal being combined to make a lethal solvent for toons. Just because you used a different solvent in your job does not make dip THAT solvent.

Pacific electric, (more extensive and served as more of an interurban network) it was owned by a real estate company and the southern pacific railway. the two systems essentially complimented each-other. Pacific electric made its money 2 ways: freight, and real estate. The rail service only existed to connect the lucrative real estate in the 1920s being built to the rest of LA, as transit allowed them to raise the prices of the properties they were selling. This, along with the freight, allowed the passenger service to lose money while as a whole the company gained money. This wasn’t a problem until cars became more popular, obviously.

Just substitute "minorities" for "toons" and you have real life once again, since minorities (e.g. the kind that performed at the -Ink & Paint- Cotton Club) happened to inhabit most of the neighborhoods that were cleared and demolished for urban freeways. Though to be fair, it wasn't only people of color, it was pretty much any group that didn't have the financial resources and political clout to fight freeway construction.

I increasingly wonder what LA would’ve looked like if there was a balancing act between cars & transit… tolled turnpikes with far fewer and significantly distant spaced exits (3-7 miles instead of less than a mile), significantly more compact ROW (6 thru lanes instead of 8-10 lanes excluding carpool & “exit only” lanes), all the services in the world for commercial vehicles, with said “red cars” lines getting expanded & upgraded accordingly overtime. Prior to the turn of the century, tollbooths would’ve been effective ways of making it known to all drivers to strongly consider ALL other available modes of transportation/transit during any peak travel periods; one can only get there as fast as the cashiers process all customers lining up at the exit. Based on my travels in recent years, PRE-INTERSTATE ERA turnpikes appeared to have aged far better than any interstate era “freeways”. It took the better part of 50 years for them to need any significant redesign/expansion work when there’s plentiful suburban freeways that were completely outmoded & significantly modified within 20 years after opening if even that. The worst thing that old turnpikes have is the “service plaza” ramps located within the passing lane and what increasingly few tollbooths remain (EzPass/FasTrak scanners on an overhead assembly have long replaced booths in plentiful places).

This movie got me excited about the trolleys and especially those trams of the late Pacific Electric Railway (although in real life they weren’t exactly like that in this movie because they were more like train than buses like that though some probably ran that way in the middle of the highway) and maybe just that as those kids and Eddie sat on the wide rear bumper of that tram. I would like to tell you, especially as a Finnish representative, that if I were a multi-billionaire with huge assets like Elon Musk, for example, I would travel to Los Angeles with the person in charge of these deceased companies and buy the traffic and copyrights of Pacific Electric Railway to I could rebuild, repair and thus reopen it, thus bringing back the former "the worlds's finest public transportation system" back to Los Angeles and bringing it to my home country of Finland, to further improve our public transport even though it is actually the best in the world at the moment, education, health and equality in addition. And I'll set it up so that the trams will be exactly the same as in this movie: similar in shape, size and design, albeit a bit more modern, with wide front and rear bumpers so that kids and adults like the kids and Eddie in that movie can themselves pick up and sit there. on top of them and travel on trolleys in this way for free, and they drive on the rails embedded in the middle of the highway as seen in the film, although the trams also have to be built back, you can buy a ticket on the spot from the ticket seller like Eddie did ( pay for it either in cash or by card and I promise the price is nickel) or some kind of Pacific Electric app created for checking schedules and buying a ticket with a smartphone and terminal stations like in a movie, i.e. includes a waiting room and a bar, restaurant, though I'm going to set them up e so that children may also visit them, where snacks, coca-cola and other soft drinks and other delicacies are sold to children and teenagers where restaurant food and beer are sold to adults. And I would invest both millions and billions of dollars and euros in the company's cash equivalents on both the American and Finnish sides so that it would not have to be sold in cash to any company for financial difficulties, at least not immediately or at all if the money is kept as emergency and spent reasonably not almost any of them actually go away. And before my death or possible resignation, I would make sure that the company is never, for whatever reason, or no matter how good the offers made by other companies, sold to any other company or entity so as not to be abused or liquidated again for one reason or another. don't get to repeat yourself. That if I got the Pacific Electric Railway, even after it was liquidated, I would bring it to life, bring it back to the world map and inspired by this film alone :)

I think Toon Town might be smaller than we thought. Maybe toons can fit and compress more due to their weird to how their physics aren't like ours.

With that freeway, everyone can travel at 88 mph as much as they want

[@dennishanes9728]

In toontown, the measure of how much you're liked is by how funny you are. Judge doom or "Baron Von Rotten" wasn't funny(and he is a toon) and therefore all the toons shunned him. He took it personally and made it his mission to make the public hate toons too. So what better way to make the public hate toons than to frame them for the murder of a police officer. Then he could destroy toontown for this freeway and nobody would miss them.

[@jacobtennyson9213]

Judge Doom is the one who created the DIP. To kill toons instantly by melting them.

I always thought in reality Judge Doom won, which is why we have freeways and no toon town today.

This seems so especially with the similar histories. Everyone here tying GM or Ford into an auto conspiracy theory are reading too much into it. This was plainly gentrification in the past.

He deserved the recognition for this role. They said Tim Curry was 'too scary' for the role, but Lloyd still freaked out generations of children. He took it so seriously; never blinked when the camera focused on him, and the red shoe death scene was his favourite. He saw this as a way of getting back at Disney for the villains who scared him as a kid.

[@side1981]

I want Robert Moses biopic staring Christopher Lloyd.

[@CaptShoichet-USS-SunsetShimmer]

Even when buying the red car to dismantle it, the subway train, light rail, and transit bus will succeed nowadays where the "red car" left off. Ironically, the collapse of a chunk of I-85 in Atlanta forced many to take the MARTA. Another example is now there are CNG buses, which reduce pollution. And finally, light rail, which acts like the "red car" and subway train in one. So this means that public transit has outsmarted Judge Doom.
