Donald vs Daffy: How Roger Rabbit Made The Greatest Crossover - Eddache 

You did a wonderful job on this. The Dueling Pianos is my favorite scene from that movie as well and the whole movie was a masterpiece. You made my little animation geek heart soar.

That would probably explain during the whole club scene why Betty Boop is the only toon there that Eddie seems to get along with. Sure, she is good looking by 1920’s standards, but she’s also much more classy, witty, and restrained than most of the toons around her. In most of her shorts, Betty was sort of the straight man to all of the insanity playing out as opposed to the one causing said insanity.

It's always odd hearing Bob Hoskins' natural British accent. For probably half my life or more, I had no idea he was British. His American accent, which he used in nearly everything I saw him in, was so spot on that I didn't even question it. I never saw him in interviews, just on film. It was so spot on that, when he actually speaks with a British accent in the movie "Hook", THAT sounded more like him doing an accent than his American accent was. It was only later, when I heard him actually interviewed, that I found out he was British. However, as I said, most my life I thought his natural speaking voice was that gruff Eddie Valient/Mario (from that horrible live-action movie) voice. He probably had the best American accent of any British actor ever.

Out of RU-vid critics that use an animated avatar, and actually attempt to animate it instead of just using stills, you are still somehow doing the best job I've seen on this platform with the expressions and lipsyncing despite using the most outdated early 2000's flash graphics. I am actually impressed. Good job. And I really do want to emphasize _critics_ as I know there are brilliant animators here doing their own thing. All that I really want to say here is that a lot of people do a really half-assed job with animating their avatars.

Wreck-it Ralph got pretty close to a universal crossover, despite Mario not really being in it.

People accidentally hearing Donald say the "N Word" is even funnier when just before, Daffy called him a "quacker"

I love Donald more because he channels the demon within in crucial moments.

Can anyone imagine if Donald Duck and Daffy Duck starred in their very own movie which is sort of like a spinoff of Who Framed Roger Rabbit where they cause pranks and fights on each other because they hate each other?

Wait, Chuck Jones wanted there to be an epic circling shot to pan around the pianos? Yeah no wonder that was altered, that's a helluva lot harder to do than just a few still shots. The movie was already expensive as it was.

The ducks were always my favourite characters from the two studios, so I would have gone to see this movie if it had been this scene and 87 minutes of white noise, but fortunately it proved to be brilliant and remains one of my favourite movies. Thanks for this vid!

The amount of technical knowhow applied to create a world you can just enjoy reminds me very much of the Muppet films, or in fact anything featuring the Muppets. Henson et al were always trying innovative new ways to make the puppets do things that people ultimately forgot they weren't supposed to be able to do...

Just to confirm Tony Anslmeo confirmed that some of Rodger Rabbit was Clarence specifically the line "dog gone stubborn little" which is actually "dog gone stubborn window" Tony said they had to pull from library SOOOOO technically this would be Clarences Donald last appearance which is pretty nice to know

Dude I LOVE these!

Knowing how they went about dong all of this in practical effects and puppetry is not irrelevant... If anything I have even _more_ of an appreciation now for the whole movie.

This scene never fails to make me laugh. The heavy dull THUD when Daffy punches Donald, and how he just immediately starts going “WOOHOO HOO WOO HOOHOO!” right after Donalds cannonball blows through the piano

The fact they used animatronics for some scenes and later put animation over it blew my mind. Awesome stuff!

I love this movie and I too love the Dueling Pianos scene. Little disheartening to learn that Chuck Jones turned his nose up at the movie, but whatever, just cos you're hailed as genius doesn't necessarily mean you're right about *everything.* Awesome video, Eddie!

I know it's a bit vain, but it made mw happy seeing my name on the Patreon credits. Especially since it's in a video about one of my favourite movies of all time. And I agree that the movie is great even of you don't know how it was made, knowing just makes it more amazing.

Today it's all CG. I love the magic of practical effects

I’ve argued for over a decade that this is the greatest scene in cinema history... You sir, are, the, man!

0:55 eddache was on tiktok before it was cool xD

I hadn’t seen this movie until earlier this year, and being a huge cartoon/ animation fan and a huge Disney fan, I was super excited. My. Jaw. DROPPED. When I saw this scene. Donald Duck and Daffy Duck together? I’d never thought it would happen and it’s something I didn’t know I needed until I saw it. It’s my favorite scene from the movie and I’ll love it forever.

As a duck I can say for certain that this was the most hype moment in the theatre

3:43 - That looks eeeeextreeeemely unsafe. O.o

That Daffy Duck "Whoohoo!" at their ending was typical...

This was such a well put together video breaking down that iconic scene! Would have loved to see what Chuck Jones' initial vision for that scene was though! Bit of new info for me was that I had no idea that the toons in that club were meant to represent of black people at that time!

An awesome movie and the atmosphere of the Ink and Paint club scene is one of my favourite parts of it. It's also great to see Daffy looking truly manic, like he now isn't.

I definitely hear Nash in some of the Roger clips you played. “Dog gone stubborn little” is definitely Nash.

1:00 Young Eddache: dancing Eddache: Having a Vietnam Flashback.

The dueling pianos is one of the best scenes in the whole movie. Too bad we will never see anything like that ever again.

5:07 HOLD ON. I didn't know Benedict Cumbermatch was the voice of Donald Duck...and that he ages in reverse!

My favorite scene in the movie. Also Betty Boop being present for Jessica Rabbit's performance was a fantastic callback.

In regard to Chuck Jones' distaste for the film, a lot of his criticism really came from, as he stated in an interview, the film paying more attention to the live-action aspect of it than the animation one, plus he had come to regard his take on Daffy as being the definite form of the character, and therefore regarded how the piano duet scene ended up being as a bit of a backward step - but that was kind of the point Spielberg was making; back in 1947 Daffy wasn't yet the character that Chuck Jones would define him as in the best of his work which came in the 1950s; Daffy was still in 1947 what I would call 'young Daffy'. Furthermore, whilst indeed some of us wish the animated stars had more of a role to play than they did, the point the film makes is that it is foremost Eddie Valiant's story, with Roger Rabbit himself being a constant helping him every step of the way.

Donald v daffy: dawn of injustice

if I remember correctly, Both WB and Disney were so anal about sharing screen time that they insisted that they count the frames of film the respective characters were in. so "38 seconds" wasn't enough. they wanted to make sure that the other didn't get a single frame more than their own character.

Richard Williams is a natural prodigy at managing to bring Daffy and Donald Duck to life on the big screen, side to side with each other, as the chief animation director of the film. He's someone I deeply respect as someone who studies animation as a hobby.

I subbed to your channel after watching this. Who Framed Roger Rabbit was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid and I still love it. Great video.

I remember watching this movie in DisneyXD when I was about 5... still have no idea how they managed to put that movie in a family-friendly movie... I mean... we got Jessica Rabbit, Betty Boop, a crossover between Disney and Warner (in a Disney channel) and I wonder how much did they censor the movie... I re-watched it a couple months ago, and I loved it...

Very well researched video. Didn't know So much went into that scene

I just realized Edd was born the same year Roger Rabbit (movie) was released.

what I love about this scene is that the toons in the real world look more scary than in the cartoon world. Donald and Daffy create real chaos, break real objects that can harm people and Eddy's reactions show that. That whats fascinate me as a kid, to see those funny characters I loved acting like crazy unpredictable lunatics

That was my most memorably favorite part of the movie.

Holy crap. This was a nice vid with tons of info I'd not known before. So kudos to that. But what puts this vid over the top awesome is that last line!

Great video. I'm really loving the new style! Also, I can't wait to see Shark Movies of 2018!

*sees title* hm, I don’t remember making a 12-min video essay on the thing I talk to my friends about every waking moment of my life

man. watching these videos at 2am is really starting to take a toll

I'm pretty sure the behind the scenes feature that's included on the DVD of the movie states that archival audio was used for some of Donald's lines, and I assume the dead wikipedia link was a link to a reupload of that feature. But you can also tell that archive audio was used. When Donald first speaks "hey cut it out, cut it out," you can tell that the audio sounds somewhat compressed. And compare that to when he says "Oh yeah", the quality of the audio is very different.

The only official Disney and Warner Bros crossover. Producer Steven Spielberg had negotiated deals with Warner Bros., Fleischer Studios, King Features Syndicate, Felix the Cat Productions, Turner Entertainment, and Universal Pictures/Walter Lantz Productions. However, not every famous cartoon character made it into the final film. Notably absent are Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto, Tom and Jerry, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Superman, Mighty Mouse and Raggedy Ann. (They would have appeared in a sequence set at Marvin Acme's funeral, but the scene was cut out for pacing reasons. These characters would have also been revealed to live in Toontown too.)

I truly love this movie because it shows that their is no boundary between our imagination and reality. The visual affects make it show that the characters can physically be present with the people, however the acting, emotions, and the plot really connects to what is happening with the real world. This movie portrays violence and drama, slapstick comedy in live action, jealousy among lovers, depression, identity issues, and even prejudice against living beings. I want to do things that involve with this kind of creativity and technology in the future

Oh my god, I'm literally crying I LOVE THIS FILM! No, I did not grow up with 1937 Daffy duck or 1934 Donald duck, but it helped through a lot, 3 months ago. I seriously grew obsessed with classic shorts. I began to be so fascinated with them I know everything there is to know about them, and personally, I think I know why Chuck Jones, the legendary director, and creator of Wile Coyote shorts, What's Opera Doc, and even some Tom and jerry shorts and so much more, that he was disappointed because the thing about this guy is when it comes to Chuck, each character has a motivation, if he directed it, both Donald or Daffy would fly off the walls, dancing, and fighting and dancing-no they would be singing, and possibly kissing at one point ( not gay, it's a classic joke that runs alot through cartoons) guys, if they let this guy direct the scene IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EPIC. and I would have been squealing like Porky pig even more and crying out of joy because how much that scene would mean to me and you know what, no matter what scene it is, even if both Donald and Daffy duck had a conversation sitting in a bench talking, watching paint dry and honestly, that would be very offensive and out right disgraceful to the cartoon industry, but I would still cry out of joy. Because I love Donald and Daffy, and watching them on screen just fills my heart with joy and happiness. And you know what, sure that scene wasn't revelount to the plot, but so what! That scene was so special, it was so important to fans that grew up with these shorts, sure I didn't I'm fifteen, but that doesn't mean it didn't have a place in my heart. Sigh, I'm the nostalgia kid I remember that because you don't have to. Good bye. Mel Blanc, the man of 1,000 voices May 30, 1908-July 10, 1989 But you will always have a place in our hearts, thank you for making me smile. "Th-th-that's all folks!"

They didn’t need to bump the lamp in this film BUT it does make it better when you notice it because of all the hard work people put into it.

I believe the Expression is "Suspension of Disbelief"

After having to unsubscribe to other reviewers of my childhood defining movies for their,,,shit on everything that made them great approach,,,it’s a joy watching your supportive review on my all time short list WFRR

I never expected Jurassic park without the dinosaurs to be a thing

These videos have incredible rewatch value

0:25--Princess Diana!

Yet, Mickey Mouse & Bugs Bunny were Great Pals. We really need either a Remake or Retelling of the Movie.

8:59 All these years later and I only just now understand what they were going for thanks to a history lesson

I always like looking back at things and see the little details and I love doing it so movies like this I can watch over and over and always find something I didn't see before

Huh, I wonder if the Ink and Paint Club was a reference to the “Ink and Paint Dept. and Girls and the... *ahem* history that the animators had with them at Disney Studios back in the day. Just occurred to me. Never saw the movie, but I do wonder.

Such a satisfying video to watch. Thank you for all the passionate work put into this work or art about art!

4:04 oh cool that is my grandfather’s name

Eddache: How Roger Rabbit made the ultimate crossover Soace Jam A New Legacy: Hold my beer.

1:24 You forgot to mention that the book had JFK in it.

Never knew Daffy was called Daffy. Here in Spain, he’s called Lucas.

Absolutely love your videos on 80s/90s nostalgia! your voice is charming and your points are factual and valid😁i always look forward to seeing you in my feed😍

never watched that movie..its on my list, but now i REALLY wanna go see it, looks fun (and its a classic)

Eddie these breakdowns are realy amazing! And realy fun to watch.

This scene is actually what made me discover this insanely fun movie. Is it also my favorite scene ? Well yes but it's mostly due to the fact that Donald Duck IS my favorite cartoon character of all time lol

While a few more Roger Rabbit shorts would be great....and WHY wasn't there at least one during the 3-D craze a few years ago?!...I don't want a sequel, despite how much I absolutely love this movie. Only Spielberg could've gotten all these characters from different studios together. Don't forget, years before the Disney Renaissance, he convinced that studio to let him use footage from their classic animated features in two movies he produced...and who ELSE could've helmed something like *Ready Player One* ? Studio politics being what they've been ever since he co-founded Dreamworks, this is a crossover that in all likelihood, none of us will see again in our lifetime. Although live-action/animation hybrids had been done before, it had never been done to this level of believability . It paved the way for everything from *Jurassic Park* to *The Mask* ,with CG-effect work eventually becoming so common in media, we no longer notice it if it's done right. Most important, it helped to bring back theatrical feature animation, a genre that had been treading water since the late 60's. Even the subversive work of Ralph Bakshi in the 70's couldn't raise it back up to the critical and commercial success it once enjoyed. Disney's mid-80's efforts to bring back animation might not have been as successful otherwise.

Richard Williams Is a legend of animation who worked on this, and I hope he long stays remembered D:

I don't want to dig this hole deeper than it is, actually never mind, I do. I am 110% sure that the first half of Donald's lines are in fact Clarence Nash. You have to admit that Donald's pitch does sound very different after he screams then yells "OH YEAH!?!" Tony's Donald has always been a bit more bubbly, while Clarance always sounded a lot more like a Duck. Whenever Tony yells, he sounds a lot more crisp and wavy, while Clarance's voice was more rough and crackly like you said. In this video, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A4TiXQpgDVM.html , it shows that while their voices are very similar, there are those slight subtle differences that become easier to pick up when you re watch the duck fight. It's always possible that they slightly pitched up Nash's lines to sync better with Tony. It also makes sense when you think about it, perhaps someone really wanted to use the Nash recordings as a tribute since he had past only 3 years prior to the release, they even mention it in the behind the scenes video. Likely since it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to feature the officially licensed characters with their original voices. And the film had been in development since 1983 before Nash had past. I should also mention how the supposed Clarance recordings sound a bit more vintage and muffled, then Tony's lines are crispy clean, which is a lot more noticeable on Bluray with good sound. That's my argument at least.

I loved that piano duet scene with Daffy and Donald.....I even loved the ending of that duet too when Donald come back as a devil and shoted a canon ball on Daffy....XD

I love these type of videos and like the ‘Who Shot Mr. Burns video’

I would actually like to see a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, or at least another movie set in the same world. With the advancements in cinematography, there's nearly no limits with what they could accomplish if they tried something like this again nowadays. A 'years later' movie would be great. You could even add in characters from other studios like Hannah Barbara and Cartoon Network. Now that I think about it, I'm actually surprised that a movie company in Japan hasn't tried to do this exact same thing with anime characters.

They did a better job than some cgi filled movies

I have the actual movie DVD. (And I’ve watched it 70000000 times)

That piano scene makes me glad i got it on VHS

Me seeing Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe on the Switch: 😀 Vernias when he realised he is going to protect the Waddle Dees again: 1:01

I actually love these videos I hope you keep making more like these ✌🏻️

Knocking it out of the park with these. Keep it up! :D

I wonder if Disney and Warner Bros will ever team up again in the future

These videos are great and all but if I were to give one piece of constructive criticism it would be that the cartoon Eddie is kind of a lame idea. I'd have it be one static image with maybe two or three alternate expressions and have it be a digital painting. Something you would commission once and then just keep reusing for all your vids. Otherwise really enjoyable content.

Hey Eddie, plz do more of these videos. I absolutely love them 😊😁❤

Dear Hollywood, don’t you DARE remake, remaster, sequelize, prequelize, or special edition this movie. If you want to make a completely new movie with Spongebob working in a office with Scooby Doo while shrek runs a pub down the street then go ahead but leave Roger Rabbit alone.

@8:54 There was definitely a lot of subtle themes in this movie.

I like their differing personalities...at first. Donald is usually trying to be happy and have a nice day, but he has a VERY short fuse. Daffy is just pretty much always on the hunt for confrontation. Once they both lose it, though, it's game on.

Can anyone here image Chip 'n' Dale together with Ugly Sonic? Oh wait ...

It’s kinda sad to know that several of the old guard in animation like Frank Thomas and Chuck Jones didn’t like the movie. Chuck Jones I kinda get because he’s just difficult as a person in general. Frank though, he really saw the missed potential. He wanted a more serious and soulful film that treated Roger like an actual rational individual with depths of feeling and humanity. As much as I love Roger, I do see what he means.

The now Donald is more clear? I have a hard time believing that

beautiful presentation !

Don’t forget the reference to the Cat/Corny Concerto, using the Hungarian Symphony.

8:15 "Daffy Duck's Rhapsody" came out in 1950, it is much older than 2012.

1:32 4th wall break

Fun fact! My dad actually owns an original animation cell from the Who Framed Roger Rabbit movie

1:38 Imagine a world where normal people coexisted with anime characters

using the diet coke clip like a ytp makes me laugh everytime

1:08 TOMSKA IS THAT YOU!?!?!

Steven Muthaf***ing Spielberg! 😎

Infinity war? Sit down. There's already a winner here.
