This movie is a masterpiece, the perfect blend of live-action and animation. It was so groundbreaking at the time, still blows my mind seeing Warner Bros and Disney characters together in the same movie.

[@glennwelsh9784]

Apparently, they hammered out a 50/50 deal where Disney and WB characters had to get equal screentime.

[@tubekulose]

Well, there was "Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl" before, but it wasn't this elaborate. 🙂

[@jzero4813]

It's still groundbreaking. This is the magnum opus of classical animation and will likely never be surpassed. The skills will all be lost within a generation so this is really the peak of cartoon.

[@Yngvarfo]

I wish it happened again. I keep thinking that The Lego Movies would be the ideal place for the Warner-owned DC superheroes to meet the Disney-owned Marvel superheroes. After all, Lego has sets of both, and it would fit the theme of kids mixing stuff that don't normally go together. There is a small reference in The Lego Movie 2 that "Marvel won't return my calls." I take it as a clue that they really wanted to do it. Curiously, there was a Star Wars appearance in the first movie, even with Anthony Daniels as C-3PO and Billy Dee Williams as Lando. It was not long after the Disney takeover, so maybe it had already been arranged before that.

[@LeviBulger]

What's weird is that when it came out, most people didn't really care for it and it had pretty awful reviews. Most people cited Roger as being insufferably annoying and what killed the film. Only later have people really come around to it, mostly because of the originality in marrying two mediums into one film and how well it was done.

“Do you mean to tell me that you could have taken your hand outta that cuff at any time?!” “Not any time! Only when it was funny!!” By far one of my favorite lines in any movie ever.

[@lennyvalentin6485]

The sign of a great movie is when the movie follows its own rules governing its own universe, and Who Framed does that perfectly.

[@tremorsfan]

He should have just asked Roger to give him a hand.

[@adammakesstuffup]

"Do you mean you could've broken up with her at any time?" "Not any time! Only when it was funny!"

[@markcarpenter6020]

That's actually the rules toons work under. They can literally do almost anything...but only when it's funny. Kind of like a genie only being able to use their powers to grand wishes.

[@jdhcdfdfnikki3233]

It suggests he gets power from laughter. "My buddy Eddie V, a sour puss is he, but when I'm done he'll need no gun, for a joker he will be" Roger sings this in the bar. Later Eddie kills the weasels with laughter. Roger knew, or made this happen. The feats Eddie did shoulda killed him but he was empowered cause it was funny

[@emilywilhite5807]

The lil shoe getting dipped is honestly one of the most sad and disturbing things I’ve ever seen in a movie.

[@darastarscream]

I saw this movie when it premiered -- I was eight or so -- and if anything that scene's more disturbing *now* that I'm grown. 😭

[@chrismaverick9828]

To be fair, it did assault a police officer, a felony and violating the rule a toon can do no harm. I'd have to watch my copy to be sure, but I'm pretty sure it nailed the cop in the...walls. It might have been edited out.

[@jdhcdfdfnikki3233]

​@@alecstevens8467Hollywood is full of baby rapers. They want kids to cry

[@Aurochhunter]

@@chrismaverick9828 Yep that bit's still in the movie: the kick to the nads causes the police officer to double over, dropping his end of the stretcher, which in turn causes Marvin's arm to drop and the hand buzzer to fall on the ground; Eddie goes to pick it up and we see judge Doom for the first time.

[@tremorsfan]

My favorite bit of trivia is that after filming, Bob Hoskins started experiencing vivid hallucinations of cartoon characters. He once saw a weasel playing with himself in a woman's hat.

[@mohammedashian8094]

The “I still got it Eddie” is sweet and heartwarming because the voice actress for Betty boop is the same one from the 30s Mae Questel. Plus if you slow down the scene in Eddie’s office you can see a little statue of Betty on his brother’s desk so even though he doesn’t like toons he has a soft spot for Betty. Also originally Tim curry was considered but when he auditioned he scared the ever living bejesus out of the producers so if Christopher Lloyd was scary in 1989 and still is now imagine how Tim curry would’ve been like 😂 Also Steven Spielberg had to use a lot of his clout to bring both Disney and Warner brothers in this movie and they agreed on the condition that both of their signature characters share equal screen time. You will literally NEVER see a movie with the same caliber that Roger rabbit had

[@lennyvalentin6485]

There's also some non-Disney/WB toons seen here and there as well, like Woodie Woodpecker for example. Unfortunately no Tom & Jerry... Oh well. Maybe in an alternate universe we can have the perfect version of this movie. :)

[@steelionx9255]

Maybe MGM didn't want Tom and Jerry in the movie for some reason. Same thing with Popeye and mighty mouse.

[@Michael75579]

@@steelionx9255 I believe something similar happened with the first Toy Story film, where a number of companies refused to licence their characters. Of course, most of them later changed their minds and the characters appeared in future installments of the series. Who knows what would have happened if there'd been a Roger Rabbit sequel.

[@markman613]

Mae Questel was the old lady in the Christmas Vacation movie.

[@JoePlett]

No one but Spielberg (Exec producer & longtime Zemeckis patron) could have wrangled the rights to use BOTH Disney & Warner Bros characters on the same screen! And no one but Bob Zemeckis - and the team he assembled - could have made this movie. I think it's safe to say, there will never be another like it. Thanks for watching 😁

[@RustyDust101]

Unless Disney buys Warner Brothers these characters will never ever grace the screen together again. While Disney was big back then they were still on a somewhat similar level to Warner Bros. So they both had similar clout in the negotitations. Today Disney would never ever concede their rights like this. Which completely ignores the fact that these were actually still hand-drawn characters instead of some form of CGI. Which is exactly what would happen today IF a movie like this ever came out again. Combine that with the real and the cartoon medium, and the insane cost this amounts to, no studio would do this again for a one-shot movie.

[@CharlesP2009]

It was also a different time. Disney wasn't doing so good before The Little Mermaid and the other animated classics rejuvenated the company.

[@joeb918]

The agreement that they got both studios to agree to is that the lead cartoon characters had to have equal screen time, Bugs with Mickey, Daffy with with Donald etc.

[@spis_dritt]

I wish they had Tex Avery characters as well.

[@Cheepchipsable]

@@CharlesP2009 Exactly, look at Daffy. The original Daffy was much more of a maniac and chaotic in his character, he is closer to that in this movie. Bugs' head is also drawn differently.

[@EvHervey]

You caught Christopher Lloyd faster than anyone I've seen yet, fantastic!

[@rextside]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit still holds up incredibly well as a noir murder mystery, and it holds up rewatching it as an adult because weirdly not very kid-friendly for a kids movie. Hoskins is incredible, so much subtlety and nuance despite being alone on set a lot acting opposite nobody. This movie has some great behind the scenes stuff, I would recommend it, perhaps as a patreon exclusive, or just on your own time.

[@apollyon9-11]

You have great taste ,the red-letter media review of the movie shows the making also ,take care

[@trippyhop]

Yeah, his silent acting during the photograph scene where we see his entire backstory (excellent direction by Zemeckis there) brings me to tears every time. And I’ve seen this movie a million times, so that’s a lot of tears, heh.

[@JuryRigged]

It's entirely probable my acceptance of the Mario movie is heavily bouyed by Hoskin's performance here.

It didn’t bother me, but only because the version of the movie I saw as a kid was taped off the TV and had part of that but edited out! It also edited out some of the more extreme Dr Doom-toon bits at the end as well. It wasn’t until I got the film on DVD many years later that I saw the uncut version!

[@nathanwilliams2152]

You can watch this movie fifty times and each time you'll notice some trick of the live action and animation, some little joke, some detail you never saw before. It really is nearly perfect in the meshing of the two, which is astounding to this day as you realize that it really was animated. There was no CGI. I love freeze-framing the train in the end and noticing all the details in each window.

[@hisdudeness8328]

I always love the bit with Betty Bo. Even though Eddy clearly hates toons, he still is kind to Betty, even reassuring her that ‘she’s still got it’. Implying that they have a pretty good history together.

You want to have Mickey Mouse in a movie produced by MGM? MGM: Yes. Walt: Never gonna happen. So they used Jerry instead. However, it should be said that Disney experimented with mixing animation and live action early on, before Mickey Mouse had even been created, in a series of short films called the "Alice Comedies."

[@LordVolkov]

"I just know I'm going to love it!" There's so much to love. Part noir detective story, part madcap cartoon, all amazing. Bob Hoskins' song and dance to kill the weasels is just incredible.

Stay through the credits for a title song by David Bowie.

Hey Jen, the dip was actually a reference to an old Film Studio technique in which they use a chemical to remove hand-painted frames from film in order to reuse old film reels. ------- Robert Zemeckis was genius to bring it back as the villain's tool to kill the Tunes.

There are SO MANY Easter eggs in this movie. One of my favorites is when Eddie goes into the restroom in Toontown - just before he looks down to see that there's no floor, you can see on the wall a message that says "For a good time, call 'Allyson Wonderland'." While Judge Doom was revealed to be a toon near the end of the movie, there were subtle hints during the movie that suggested he was one, such as his cape blowing indoors despite a lack of wind and him refusing to touch or stand in any of the dip.

As an Angelino, a film noir fan, and a fan of classic animation, this hits all of my heart buttons. It was also a HUGE step forward in special effects when it came out. Edit: also, I have a special love for this film on top of that because I live in the old red car subway line building.

[@themoviedealers]

I lived in PE Lofts, main terminal, so, cool. Couldn't help but feel the bar in this was based on Cole's. (Still there!)

[@deathtoraiden2080]

I think the movie still looks mind blowing today. Especially seeing the lighting change on the toons as they move in the real world. Also the acting and writing is just so much fun.

[@k5sss]

Even better, the animated toons cast shadows on the real sets/props. The closer you look, the more impressive the entire thing is, and that’s why it’s so believable the very first time you see it, no matter how hard your brain screams that it can’t be.

"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way" - Jessica Rabbit

[@firedoc5]

Most don't get the Harvey reference. It's a great Jimmy Stewart movie about a man who can see an invisible rabbit. We would see who could recognize the most classic 'toons, and extra points if you could name the original voice actor. To have both Disney and Warner Bros. characters, they had to have equal screen time, so that's why they are paired up so much. Even though 'Jessica' was voiced by Kathleen Turner, her singing voice was by actress Amy Irving. So glad you reacted to this great movie.

[@fynnthefox9078]

Though, Angelo isn't referencing the movie, he's referencing the play since the Jimmy Stewart film didn't come out yet.

[@Randy-r4e]

"Cars" is a lot of fun with great animation. "Harvey" was Jimmy Stewarts favorite movie according to an interview. He said it was a lot of fun to do and he loved the rest of the cast. Both films are worth your time and would make great reactions. Good reaction on this one. Thanks.

Your attention to and appreciation for music is a great part of these reactions. Just one thing to remember, the original “Looney Tunes” was all about the music, i.e., “tunes” not “carTOONs.” To further drive home this point, remember the cartoons called “Merry Melodies”? So at the very least, the ‘Tunes are at least as important as the ‘Toons.

Bob Hoskins was an absolute legend. His body of work is very extensive, but 'Mona Lisa' stands out, for which he won Best Actor awards at Cannes, Bafta, Golden Globes, and an Oscar nomination too. I like him also as Smee in Hook alongside Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams, and also his role in Maid In Manhattan as well.

i’m so proud of you! 👏🏼 This was such a fantastic movie my siblings and I watched for the first time in 1989 when it was released on home video, VHS tape. I was just 5 years old when it was released in theaters 1988. From that year on, I’ve always gone back to watch this movie to witness the talent and the originality in filmmaking and animation. this Director was way ahead of the game as it pertains to live action with animation.

Valiant and Doom's stories were interlinked from the beginning. In the case where Eddie's brother was killed, the toon robbed a bank. Later, Judge Doom bought the election in Toontown - using the money he got from the bank robbery. A lot of people miss that link, and I think it really adds to the story to have their destinies intertwined like that. These days a movie like this would be done with CGI, but back then it was with glorious hand-drawn 2D animation, which makes it all the more wondrous.

On first viewing most people miss the fact Judge Doom puts on a rubber glove when he emerges the cartoon shoe in the 'dip'. Why would a human need protection from the dip? But for Doom, even the slightest splash would have given him away.

As far as I can find, the first example of cartoons swearing was in 1933, which may be one of the trigger for the 1934 ban on cursing in movies. Since the 60's return of cursing, this does appear to be the first time a cartoon has cursed since then.

Not only was the mix of live-action and hand-drawn cartoons, cinematography, and acting all amazing, the fact that they got Warner Brothers and Disney to agree to have their characters appear together was unprecedented (and, to my knowledge, this remains the only major film where that happens). They had to make sure that, not only would each company's characters have equal screen time, the main characters would as well (which is part of why the pairs of Daffy and Donald and Mickey and Bugs shared the same scenes).

[@Cifer77]

This wasn't the first time live action was mixed with cartoon animation, but the method in which they did it was truly innovative. For example...most people don't notice the shading on every. single. cartoon. One side of them will be darker than the other side, based on where the lighting is coming from in the live action scene. Think about that for a second.... how much planning has to be done, how perfect everything has to line up, with no deviation or add-libbing in scenes. Then there's how often the toons interact with the live world, it's all executed so flawlessly.

“Turpentine, acetone and benzene” the three ingredients for “Dip” was a popular recipe with animators for paint thinner at the time this takes place. Often overlooked but shows the attention to detail they took!

[@freddiefan1973]

Still one of my favorites. I was 13 when it came out and I was surprised when I first saw it. Not just how they combined live action and animation, but just how amazing it was having all of my favorite cartoon chatacters mixed in with the ones created for the movie (the first, and probably only, instance of Warner Bros and Disney animation depts. working together)

[@timothyhites7016]

Jen has such a charming personality

[@mattx449]

This movie never gets old. Classic

[@TheCastellan]

If you wanna know how they did this, there are some behind the scenes videos you can watch, including the technical bits of combining the actors with the cartoon characters.

[@ronbeekiii781]

Someone may have mentioned this already but the voice of Roger is actually performed by the guy who played Bob Vaughn in Zodiac (the guy that made the posters for the movie theater and had a basement- even though most people in California don’t have basements)!

[@EllisThings]

Masterpiece. Love how you're always suspicious of a sexy dame (and literally anyone in Star Trek lol)

[@jenmurrayxo]

Lol for real

[@JaguarDave54]

I’ll never forget watching this on the big screen and that entrance into toon town, just a massive wall of cartoon awesomeness!. I remember all the articles in magazines and newspapers explaining some of the techniques they had to use to mix real life props and sets and then animate the characters in after filming had been completed. They had voice actors on the set to run dialogue and mock up dummies of the characters so they could get the actors, mostly Hoskins, to have the proper eye lines or sight lines so the animation could match up. Hoskins later said he was having dreams or Hallucinations of the characters from having to pretend so much. One last thing, the movie is based on a book “Who Censored Roger Rabbit” which had some major differences as the toons were comic strip characters from the news papers and it was set in the 1980’s

[@Suchega_Uber]

It still blows my mind mixing cartoons with non cartoons. Like I get how it's done, but I still get this sense of wonder when I see it. It's so well done that it feels almost real.

12:33 "Okay. So he told _everyone."_ Yeah. And it looks like, in 1947, there was no _phone_ directory for Valiant to advertise in.

[@joe66692]

Have seen this movie literally probably 300 times. How you say? Worked at a daycare center in the late 80's and the kids would watch this movie over and over in the background.

[@o0pinkdino0o]

I write a few blogs about movies, and I always include this when someone asks what a film noir movie is. It has all of the tropes.

[@ceremus]

I love the detail on what the Dip is made out of. How do you kill a toon? Paint thinner. 😆

[@8bit_Retro]

Fun Fact: The tunnel to ToonTown is the same tunnel used in Back to the Future II when Marty is trying to outrun Biff on the hoverboard before he is rescued by Doc in the DeLorean.

[@curtrogers1715]

That was excellent Jen your reaction was so fun. You can make every movie. Watch a great experience. Thank you thanks for the fun until next time.

[@scottwilson3741]

I really needed this today. Thanks Jen

Judge Doom. The cause of countless childhood nightmares!

17:40 Harvey is a 1950 movie about an invisible rabbit with James Stewart (from It's a Wonderful Life).

[@candicelitrenta8890]

Harvey was a play first and then it became a movie with Jimmy Stewart. It's about a guy who can see an invisible rabbit by that name. It was very popular when it came out

[@neojc128]

Instant like, Roger Rabbit is such a unique movie. Amazing music by Silvestri, great directing by Zemeckis, just a thrill of a ride

[@SilverWolf442]

You may know Bob Hoskins (RIP) as the voice of Borris the goose in Balto.

[@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 to the 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 Originally 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......

[@DoctorStagger]

You are so much fun on a drab winter evening. Thank you, Jen. 🤭🥰🥰😘 xxxx

[@jollyrodgers7272]

This great film won 4 Oscars - Film Editing, Sound Effects Editing, Visual Effects Editing, and a Special Achievement Oscar. Just think, Disney AND Warner Bros. characters TOGETHER! PLAYING PADDY CAKE forever cracks me up since 1988. Jessica (Rabbit is her married name) was especially animated to 'bounce' in opposite than the 'natural' direction, to get that accentuated motion across. She's not Bad - She's just drawn that way. I Love it when Jen Loves a Comedy! Kathleen Turner did the voice of Jessica, and her big breakout role was Matty Walker in BODY HEAT (1981), the neo-noir erotic thriller which propelled her to International fame - as you may recall her in ROMANCING THE STONE (1984).
