For a Toon, being funny is attractive. Roger is so out of Jessica's league so she is very lucky to have married him. Hence why Betty says "what a lucky girl".

"I don't understand why a toon would murder other toons." And I don't understand why a human would murder other humans. But still, here we are.

All the humans think Roger Rabbit's lucky to have Jessica because they focus on appearance. All the cartoon women think Jessica Rabbits lucky to have Rodger because in their world comedy is the most attractive quality.

When I was a kid, this movie blew my mind; not only for the technical artistry involved, but because it had Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny together in the same movie. For a little kid, that was akin to the first Avengers movie in 2012.

This film is very unique. The licensing alone is one we will never see again. It’s amazing they got the rights to use all the characters they didn’t already own.

I've always loved that Jessica is drawn as such an absolute stereotype, and she subverts it so hard. Her actual motivations are wholesome and pure, and not at all in line with her appearance.

Little known fact: Betty Boop’s voice was provided by the original actress from the 1930s, the legendary Mae Questel.

There are a few mixed cartoon/reality films; but "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is the best of them. The craftsmanship of this film is utterly amazing.

For your information, Roger is the Brad Pitt of Toontown, Jessica’s the one punching up

Jessica loved Roger for more than his sense of humour... Eddie: A better lover than a driver, huh? Jessica: You'd better believe it, Buster!

Mary Poppins also has a moment where animated characters interact with the live action leads. Then there's Bedknobs and Broomsticks, which is another Disney film. For a more adult film, there's also Ralph Bakshi's Cool World.

Zoomers: "The Avengers Endgame is the biggest crossover event of all time!" Boomers: "Psh! Someone has never seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit!"

Disney and WB characters together is something you'll literally never see again so enjoy.

25:00 - Jessica: "I've loved you more than any woman's ever loved a Rabbit". Mary: "I can... imagine? I don't think many women have loved rabbits!" Oh, Mary. You sweet, summer child. 😂😂😂

For two weeks after this movie came out Bob Hoskins kids have been giving their father the silent treatment. He asked them why they were so upset with him and they said they couldn’t believe their father met Bugs Bunny and the others and not take them to meet them too 😭😂😂😂

Doom explained his motivation. Greed is a motivator for toons as well as people. And some are just evil...remember the poison apple, the spinning wheel, etc.

In the late 80’s computer animation was still in it’s infancy. They had to hand draw each frame from a still photograph. It took over 300 animators and over 80,000 frames.

Mary: “Some of these older films have been quite good” Me: “Older??? Oh God....”

The 'making of' is an absolute must see. The creativity and craftmanship behind every scene is incredible !

Animators use the phrase “bump the lamp” to refer to going above and beyond what’s required in order to flex their skills, and that’s a reference to when Roger bumps the lamp, requiring much more complicated lighting in his animation.

The plot of this movie is real (except the toon part, ofc). I believe General Motors bought a bunch of trolley companies and dismantled them in order to force people to rely more on private transportation.

The judge executing the shoe in dip really freaked me out as a kid.

I remember watching this movie for the first time as a kid and just seeing Donald Duck & Daffy Duck and Mickey Mouse & Bugs Bunny together in the same scene ... This masterpiece is the perfect love letter to our childhood!

So Roger Rabbit' back story is "loosely" based on a true story, I say "loosely" lol. As mentioned, Los Angeles did once used to have a great public transportation network, but the car companies bought up the street car system only to dismantle it, forcing people to essentially buy cars to get around. Which essentially what Judge Doom was representing in the film, Cloverlief purchansed the "red car"(street car system) and wanted to get rid of ToonTown to turn it into a freeway.

Fun Fact: This the first AND ONLY movie so far to have Walt Disney and Warner Bros cartoon character crossover. Also who would've thought Doc Brown give so many kids nightmare fuels Lmao

What I really love about this film 🎥 is that it's the only movie 🎥 that uses both Disney and Warner Brothers cartoons. It is literally ground breaking.

23:52 "All because of a freeway" guess you should read/watch A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

"Anchors Aweigh" - 1945, has real actors interacting with cartoons as well. Gene Kelly has a whole dance number with Jerry Mouse, from Tom and Jerry.

"even the humans are falling in love." I confirm.

Grogu/"Baby Yoda" wasn't Disney's first 50-year-old baby...

The joke about LA having the best public transit in the world is a deep cut: here in LA we're known for having terrible public transit (it's really just average, but not nearly robust enough for the city's size)... But back when the movie takes place, the Pacific Electric Company had really good trolleys across most of the city. But as freeways expanded, the trolleys weren't grade separated, so service slowed and slowed until the company went bankrupt.

It wasn't the first time they mixed live-action and animation but this was the first time it was done incredibly well.

What this movie pioneered was the interaction between the animated characters and real world objects. It took a lot of work and planning and no other film has come close to replicating the way it immerses the viewer in the universe it creates.

One thing I love about this movie is the inclusion of Maroon Cartoons as a cartoon studio because it finally explains why so many WB cartoon characters would say "What a Maroon!" They take that line and turn it into a jab against a competing cartoon studio. So funny!

Animation has been mixed with live action nearly since the motion picture was invented. This film just took it to the next level, both with the physical interactions and with the lighting effects.

The company name "Cloverleaf" is a hint about the freeway.

Joanna Cassidy -The actress who played Eddie's girlfriend Dolores- is one of the replicants in the original Bladerunner (the snake dancer)

They've put toons in movies before, but never anywhere near this level. The cartoon characters were drawn exactly the same way as they were drawn for the original classic cartoons. This took nearly all the animators in Hollywood to make this film, and there were a lot more people with that talent back in the 1980's than there are now. This film could not be made today.

You might want to watch Mary Poppins to see how they mixed cartoons and live action before this. There's an entire sequence where the main characters enter a chalk drawing and interact with cartoon characters.

The pattycake photos always get me.. 😂 I'm very happy you watched this, this film meant a lot to me as a child and still does. There's a lot of talent and innovation going on in this film. It represents to me how the human spirit can exceed the technical limits of our time with nothing more than ambition and determination. Because for its time this was a visual and technical marvel.

A little search answers your question. "In truth, he's a toon himself. Originally a toon actor called Baron Von Rotten, he played cartoon heavies until an on-set accident left him Lost in Character." He was a villain in cartoons until something happened locking him in his role. He went insane. Also a Toon murderer wanting to commit genocide for no reason is the ultimate in cartoonish villainy.

While there have been many live-action/hand-drawn animation mash-ups before and since, *none* have done it as seamlessly and flawlessly as this one.

Saw this as a kid and it scared the hell out of me, so Space Jam is the live action/animated movie I watched most but Roger Rabbit is far and away a better film. And for 1988 it's hard to not be impressed when you consider they did all of the animation and compositing without the aid of computers. What a performance from Bob Hoskins too

It's great that they were able to include characters from Fleischer Studios, Warner Brothers, and Disney.

Jessica: “I’ve loved you more than any woman has ever loved a rabbit” Ann Summers: “Hold my …. Um …. Beer”

yeah this movie ages well.. i always liked that it was funny and slapstick at times, but also had a legit neo-noir mystery story. and the 40's LA setting was nicely portrayed

Another movie that combined cartoons and live action was the 1992 movie Cool World.

I didn't see this film in the theater (home video VHS). But, I was definitely under the age of 10. The adult content flew over my head. Ahhh the 80s, when kids were, well, kids.

Roger Rabbit is a miracle of collaboration. Disney, Warners and others dropped their selfishness for a hot minute in the nineties for this film.

A lot of practical effects were used to blend the live action with the animation. The boys at the Corridor Crew channel do a great video showing how it was done. *Here are just a few other 'Live Action/Animation" movies that are out there;* Mary Poppins (1964) Cool World (1992) Space Jam (1996) Bednobs And Broomsticks (1971) Pete's Dragon (1977) The Incredible Mr Limpet (1964)...kind of 😁

This movie was revolutionary for its time. Zemeckis and Spielberg so you know they had the best resources.

If I remember right, it's briefly shown during Eddie's going back through the photo albums that he and his brother started out as circus clowns - which feeds back to him being able to pull off the routine - that deals with the weasels - so fluidly and well.

This is seriously one the best films ever made

"I don't understand why a toon would want to destroy ToonTown" Quoth the Detective: "That's what I call one Seriously disturbed Toon." Evil never makes sense.

Why would a toon want to do that? Answer from the film: "He was one insane toon."

This was my introduction to Christopher Lloyd so while everyone in the world loves him for being Marty's best friend to me he's the terrifying toon that murdered an innocent toon shoe for no reason.

I remember the first time I saw actress, Nikki Cox, on a show called Unhappily Ever After, I thought Jessica Rabbit had come to life.

Bob Hoskins is one of my favorite actors. He's excellent in Enemy at the gates, Unleashed, Hook just to name a few

The first one I remember seeing when I was a kid was Pete's Dragon

Mixing animation with Iive action goes back at least to the '20s with Walt Disney's own "Alice" comedy shorts.

Walt Disney's dream project "Mary Poppins" has an extended sequence of live action mixed with animation. It's a classic on a level with "Wizard of Oz."

This is one of the most technically amazing movies ever made, and I think that at the time it was made, it was also one of the most expensive! There had been plenty of instances of cartoons interacting with live-action performers before this, but this was really the first time that they'd been put so convincingly into the real world, with all the shadings and shadows added to make them feel a part of things (and with film noir lighting, too!). The sheer skill and artistry involved in making this movie is pretty mind-blowing, and icompositedframe

There's a classic called Harvey and The Incredible Mr. Limpet both have a mixture and Pete's Dragon as well.

Doing Eddie is Bob Hoskins who would later do Smee in the movie, "Hook," which is another iconic movie, which you would probably love.

One of my favorite things is they brought back Mae Questel to reprise the voice of Betty Boop 57 years after her first time. (And that Boop was in B&W.) It's also interesting that some of [Walt] Disney's earliest films combined live actors and animation: his short Alice in Wonderland films. Something he would return to from time to time.

The main difference between other live action/cartoon mixes in movies and WFRR is that the cartoon characters in this one actually physically interact in a 3 dimensional space with objects and the actors rather than just appearing as 2 dimensional drawings. The best part being that it's done almost flawlessly and naturally.

Theory Judge Doom always hated being a toon cause he thought no one would take him seriously

Definitely check out the three Roger Rabbit cartoon shorts Tummy Trouble, Roller Coaster Rabbit, & Trail Mix-Up. They're fantastic!

Another fun movie that mixes animation with live action is Cool World. Brad Pitt stars in it.

Amy Irving was Jessica's singing voice. Kathleen Turner is the voice. Fun facts!

There have been many movies before “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” that utilized the combination of live action and animation, as many people have mentioned on this thread. The difference is that “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was the first one that sought to make the interactions more realistic, and tangible.

Love this movie, the behind the scenes of this movie is something you will appreciate, so much talent and creativity... Hey, I have an idea, you should watch The Crow(1994), not animation related but still a great movie

"I don't think many women have loved rabbits", gives Mary the side eye... 😏🤭

Christopher Lloyd is awesome as villain he once stated hes favorite part he ever played was the Klingon commander Kruge in Star Trek 3

This is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time

Jessica Rabbit is a icon and a Absolute Bombshell, it's very sad Disney is trying to get rid of her or at least try and hide her

Cool World, Space Jam, Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Those are the ones I know at the top of my head. Plus, The Adventures Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Judge Doom was the stereotypical madman. As he was a mad toon he had to fulfil his role. He was a villain, and he could only portrait himself as such. His motives don't have to align with reality, they just have to fulfil his crazy plans.

Gene Kelly and Jerry Mouse in Anchors Aweigh do an integrated live action/animation dance routine. (Anchors Aweigh 1945)

I had nightmares about Judge Doom for YEARS after seeing this movie as a kid. Genuinely horrified me beyond belief.

The late great Bob Hoskins played Eddie and when I first saw this at the theater I thought he was from New York, he was actually from the UK. You have to see the original Star Trek movie's because Christopher Lloyd is in Star Trek III - The Search for Spock 🖖. Live long prosper.

Thanks for reacting to this one. It's been a while since I've seen it. Glad you enjoyed it! Jessica Rabbit was voiced by Kathleen Turner from Serial Mom, Romancing The Stone, and Jewel Of The Nile. Christopher Lloyd was perfect as the Judge. He's good in Clue as well. This came out the year I turned 8 (1988) and I believe I saw it for the first time in my teens.

There were several other movies released prior to this one, mostly from Disney, to mix live-action with animation....but not to this degree. It's made to look as if the animated characters are truly interacting with the live-action environment through the human cast's performances, the mechanical puppeteering of props and set pieces and the cartoon characters being shaded or highlighted to match the lighting of the environment. Four years later, *Cool World* tried to do the same thing...but failed miserably, largely because of the slapdash effort put into it. *Space Jam* ,released four years later, would fare much better, although that movie largely was of a live actor in a cartoon environment.

This perfect match of technical and artistry only happened twice, here with Roger Rabbit and later with Jurassic Park. Both were written with a known capability in mind and filmed with a new technology just as it developed, because of this both sides gave their all. The established crew giving the best of their experience and the new people showcasing their abilities.

One Of Robert Zemeckis Masterpieces Ever Made

You should read the book that's called "Who censored Roger rabbit?" The book is very very different than the movie, but it's an good experience readings. I even wrote an book report and PowerPoint for my classes back in high school

I watched this 2 times a day when I was young, it's an all time fav.

A classic that is still amazing after all these years, and Jessica Rabbit is iconic!

The original cartoon with real life concept is Mary Poppins.

I'm more than certain that there are a few ladies that have fallen in love with their 'Rabbit' ;) Glad you enjoyed the film. It was a breakthrough film for its day, and really the only other ones that come close are Cool World, and Space Jam.

There have been quite a few live-action/cartoon interaction pieces across time, the ones I recall include both Fantasia movies, but "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is frankly the best quality, both before and after it's release (though the little piece in Fantasia 2000, where Mickey straightens the conductor's bowtie, was pretty good at getting the tie movements). The real secret is being able to get eye-lines right and animatronics that gets the toon interactions right. I recall seeing behind-the-scenes specials about this movie and one of the things I remember is the equipment under Bob Hoskins' coat when Eddie is trying to keep Roger inside it. And yes, when once looks back on this now (I was ten when it came out), the fact that the effects stand up so damn well even now. They worked hard to make the interactions work well on-screen, a lot better than most other versions I ever saw (again, Fantasia 2000's tie-straightening was pretty good).

I was only 38 when this came out, but mommy said I could go and see it, she also said I should get a job and an apartment, she was so funny

Fun fact. Christopher Lloyd plays Judge Doom. He is also Doc Brown in Back to the Future.

In the toon world, it's actually Roger Rabbit that's out of Jessica's league. In the toon world, the funnier you are, the bigger the celebrity you are, and the more "attractive" you are to all other toons. In other words...Jessica is literally the lucky one to have married such a great celebrity

Just for You, not for Your Channel: Please watch the three "Roger Rabbit" short films (only 7 minutes each)!

"He needs to go for someone in his league." Yeah, because looks matter when two people are happy with each other...

"I don't think many women have loved rabbits." Depends if you're talking about the animal or "toy". 😉

I was 12 when I first watched it. I think that was a perfect age. I was old enough to get some of the mature jokes in the movie. At the same time I was young enough to appreciate the lunacy of the toons.

Another human/animation flick that worked well is "Enchanted". It's newer than "Who framed Roger Rabbit" but it works well. The action is slightly more separated in "Enchanted", but a lot of it seems so normal you have to look carefully to see the separation.
