I agree
Can you review The Little Vampire?
Totally Agree!
Hey can you review diary of a wimpy kid (2010)
Very much agree with you there.
Fun fact: Bob Hoskin’s son, who was six at the time, didn’t speak to him for two weeks because he was mad at his dad, thinking he actually worked with Bugs Bunny and didn’t bring him to meet him. So cute.
😂 😂 😂 Omds.. Is that Really true??
I'm crying tears of joy over here lol
@@rantradio edited for facts. Bob Hoskins said in an interview his son didn’t speak to him for two weeks because he thought he got to work with cartoon characters and didn’t let him meet them.
Still really cute, especially from a kid.
Another fun fact Eddie Murphy said on " Inside the actors studio " that he turned down the role of Eddie Valient which he later regretted.
@@winterlynn9012 honestly i think that's for the best cause as much as I love Eddie Murphy I think Hoskins brought a genuine and real emotion to the role and I'm not saying he can't do emotion but there was just a real sympathy and vulnerability to Hoskins that I don't think Murphy could duplicate
@@DarkKnightofAnime well said. Hoskins OWNED this role and while it is great to think of Charlie Fleischer running around in a rabbit costume, to think Hoskins acted so well by himself and at an X on a wall or something at times it's even better.
Rodger and Jessica’s relationship actually kinda works when you really look at it. Jessica is an obvious sex symbol that most men would want, but Rodger loves her more than just her figure. The “make me laugh” line makes sense because he truly just wants to make her laugh. She admires his innocents and passion. Betty Boop says that Jessica is the lucky one because from the toons side Rodger is technically a famous actor.
*in my Beavis and Butt-Head voice*
"You said ROD..."
🖖🏾😏
Yeah man, they’re cute af together.
Nostalgia Critic actually talks about this in his Top 11 Strangest Yet Best Couples list!
Women who can have their pick of any man also frequently go for a funny guy over all else in real life, too.
As a female, I can say one of the biggest things we find attractive is the ability to make us laugh.
Fun fact:
The three ingredients listed to make The Dip (turpentine, acetone, and benzine) are all paint thinners, which is used to erase mistakes in drawn animation.
That actually adds so much knowing that.
I've seen many say you can tell Doom was a Toon because he was wearing gloves when many don't understand the stuff in the dip is also toxic to humans.
@@retro8696 right? You're looking at minor chemical burns, blisters, and skin so dry, cracked cement looks moisturized.
Cool!😃
Thanks for the info
No wonder I was reminded of Epic Mickey.
Fun Fact: Judge Doom was originally supposed to be played by Tim Curry, but it was changed to Christopher Lloyd because the people making the movie thought that Tim Curry would be "too terrifying"... riiight...
Tim curry would be incredible in the role, but when isn’t he incredible am I right?
@@sonnyfox8407 very true. he's the only reason i watched the original It and Home Alone 2, and is the reason why Rocky Horror Picture Show is one of my favorite musicals. i'm actually kinda sad he didn't get to be Judge Doom. he would've been perfect.
@@SoooBUwU I’m still happy with Christopher Lloyds performance tho
@@sonnyfox8407 oh yeah, I like his performance too. I just wanted to see how Tim Curry would play Judge Doom.
@@SoooBUwU
In the scene where Kevin makes Tim Curry say "I love you." the receptionist nearly bursts out laughing.
Also, Lloyd doesn't blink in the whole movie. Apparently he thought that would make him more unsettling. It worked.
And given that his eyes are fake, it works even better!
To be fair, how often do cartoons blink on this movie?
Fun fact: The script directed him not to blink. When he read that notation he exclaimed "He's a toon isn't he?!" guessing the movie's twist from that note alone.
@@SquishyProductions He read that he shouldn't blink, and came to the immedate conclusion that a cartoon character passing as human would naturally wear fake eyes.
I don't know whether to love the guy a little more... or be slightly afraid of him.
@@SquishyProductions XD nice.
If Judge Doom was played by Tim Curry
“REMEMBER ME, EDDIE?! WHEN I KILLED YOUR BROTHER, I SAID...WA HA! WA HA! WA HA!”
LOL!!!
This comment needs more likes!
Someone PLEASE animate this!!! ^^^^^ 😃😃😃😃
What if he pinned Hoskins to the wall and said "What have we here? A little... BOY?!?"
"So, your brother's flat? Well, how 'bout that?"
The shoe scene is heartbreaking, it's like watching someone drown a puppy.
Nah its pretty funny
Agreed. That was a pretty disturbing scene, possibly because by the time I saw it, I was an adult and well aware of what was happening. 😕
@@asherikamichaela8425 I was only 6 when I first saw it and had been to a few funerals by then and also idiotically grabbed a glowing red hot stove element twice a few years earlier (which I remember still being fresh in my mind at the time) so I had a pretty good grasp (pun intended) of what was happening which made me feel sick to the stomach and want to cry. Still loved the film though.
@@nibruh4468 It only 4/10 funny
I heard it was originally supposed to be a toon gophers instead of a toon shoe. The gopher was also supposed to be able to talk and have some pretty horrific final words and scream as it was dipped.
One of the things I really like about Jessica Rabbit is that she really does genuinely love Roger. She's not a "snake" when it would have been so easy to make her one. She knows her husband is innocent and is willing to do whatever it takes to prove it, even if it means ruining her own reputation
in the book, she's the opposite
@@holdingpattern245 wait, book?
@@GrieverSSBUYup, the book is VERY different, and MUCH DARKER, if you can believe it. The Toons’ plight as an allegory for racial segregation isn’t just implied, it’s stated outright. Also, the Toons have a lot of complicated laws of physics that deal with how they move, and even how they live and die, IIRC. Honestly, it’s kinda hit-or-miss.
@@joeycoe85 The author said himself he liked the movie more than the book
And in early drafts where she was the main villain
There's actually something really interesting implied by Betty Boop's line of Jessica being the lucky one in her and Roger's relationship. Valiant, the other humans in the film, and even the male viewers, see Jessica as a sex symbol, a hot icon. Hence Valiant's line of "SHE'S married to Roger Rabbit?" As in, she's too good for him. But from the toon perspective, Jessica is the nobody because she's not funny. Fascinatingly different perspectives.
They did give her some funny bits in the comic. They gave her a nemesis, completely unknown to her. The character keeps trying to destroy Jessica out of jealousy, and Jessica keeps sailing through the traps, unaware she's even in danger!
Rogers inability to squeeze out of the cuffs until it was funny shows the utility of his power, and how physics operates differently for toons. Excellent point you made.
Oh its that he’s funny, I thought it was something else?
@@williammeyer2584 - I think we all kinda thought that.
@@williammeyer2584 It's really showcased in how she responds when Eddie asks what she sees in Roger. "He makes me laugh." So simple, yet for a toon, that's everything.
According to Wikipedia, this movie is a big part of the reason that the Disney Renaissance came to be. If so, then you can say that it DID jumpstart a new evolution in film.
That IS true. But it stands out as a one-of-a-kind motion picture on its own (aside from its Disney roots) as well.
Sideways made a video about this film made people interested in animation again, which paved the way for Little Mermaid to exist
It also began a whole new love and appreciation for animation since the 1940s when it was the Golden Age of Animation. In the late 80s and 90s, not only was Disney the biggest with their animation studios, but other companies brought in a new wave of animated movies and TV shows, many of which are still talked about today.
Seriously?!?!??!?! WHOAAAAA!!!! That's awesome!!!!!
@@TGwA1993 I insisted on watching The Little Mermaid every day for a year. I was really little, about 3 years old, I think. XD I used to know the entire movie by heart.
The reason Mickey shows up a few seconds earlier, as far as I can tell, is likely because there's a shot earlier in the film that shows Bugs walking down the street by himself, so Mickey showing up earlier in the skydiving scene is likely to balance that out.
A fair assumption, however the rabbit seen when Eddie is walking through the studio lot is actually Happy Rabbit, Bugs' prototype.
@@zbr76 you sure about that? I’m looking at the shot from the beginning and that’s very clearly a gray and white rabbit with white gloves, obviously Bugs, and not the prototype, which was pure white with no gloves.
@@charliemacsart Perhaps the WFRR animators updated it to look like Bugs, but it definitely has more in common with the prototype's leaner design.
@@zbr76 It looks identical to the Bugs design used for every other scene in the movie, but if it makes you happy to imagine that it's not Bugs then more power to ya.
Someone on UA-cam actually timed Mickey's and Bugs' screentime and even accounting for the brief shot of Bugs walking down the street, Mickey still has about 1 sec. extra of screen time.
My theory for why Doom and the weasels didn't react to "Shave and a Haircut": The weasels were probably covering their ears to block it out. As for Judge Doom, it's possible he spent years training himself to resist the behaviors of toons to appear more human, thus subjecting himself to the song over and over until he was able to build up enough willpower to fight off his natural tune urges.
I agree with the weasels bit, but for Doom, I think it's because he's the one starting it or he's finishing it mentally in his head.
My theory is that, well, Doom WASN'T able to resist the Shave and a Haircut trick. It's just that he didn't _respond_ to it, he just set it up. Ergo, he couldn't resist using it to flush out Roger.
@@GrahamChapman for one, Comedy trumps all for toons. Judge Doom finishing it (or even the Hyenas finishing it) wouldn't be funny. THe gag that's getting set up is Roger crashing through the wall.
Also: yes, one can interprete the fact that Doom starts mouthing along with the tune (despite his voice at that sound level probably not penetrating the wall) as him not being above it after all.
@@undertakernumberone1 Correction: Weasels, not Hyenas... And yes, basically this. Doom wasn't able to resist setting up the gag, and he even started mumbling "shave and a haircut" just before Roger reached his breaking point, but finishing the gag himself just wouldn't make sense from a narrative perspective -- and since Toons are all about narrative rules, (primarily comedic ones, but Doom ticks off a lot of dramatic ones as well,) he simply didn't feel the compulsion to finish the gag... You actually _could_ argue that it would've been hilarious if one of the Weasels had finished the gag, but since Roger was present, and the gag revolved around flushing him out, it once again wouldn't make sense from a narrative perspective to diffuse the situation with one of the Weasels breaking out "TWO BITS!"
It might have worked better if we were shown the weasels possibly mouthing the two bits and visibly struggling with it. I always figured Doom could resist it because he was doing the call, not the response and thus wasn't required to be the one to finish it.
Fun Fact: While Mickey has a few more seconds of screen time in the falling scene, he and Bugs still have the exact same amount of screen time because they both show up at the end of the film, and Bugs gets just a few more seconds than Mickey does. They actually do it subtly by using Bugs' height to their advantage.
Another fun fact: Earlier when Eddie enters the bathroom only to find out there's no floor underneath him. If you look on the wall where it says, "For a good time, call Allyson Wonderland...", in the VHS release, below that phrase is listed a phone number. Apparently it was real and would ring up the phone line at then Walt Disney CEO Michael Eisner's office. The animators had a little fun with that, I'll bet. It was changed for the DVD release and later to be the phrase you now see.
@@minty_Joe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mickey the king of Disney, and Bugs Bunny the king of Warner Brothers.
And Shrek being the king of Dreamworks.
Imagine if Oswald was still Disney's mascot. If he made in the scene with bugs this would match with the Daffy and Donald scene.
Bugs is also seen walking into somewhere during another part. Mickey isn't
Fun Fact: Judge Doom's real name is Baron Von Rotten. He was an actor who played villains in movies, until an accident caused him to believe that he was a villain.
Interesting.
He was also the hunter that killed Bambi’s mom.
@@calebray1834 Damn that's BRUTAL.
@@CommanderBohn no wonder he is evil incarnated he shot the first disney parent
@@jakoblent4694 DESPICABLE.
22:04 The reason Judge Doom and the Weasels don't react to the "Shave and a Haircut" trick is because it wouldn't be funny for them to do it. It's why Roger can't get out of the cuffs until it's funny. For Roger, him bursting through the walls and outing himself only for a punchline is so ridiculous that it's torture for him not to do it. For the Judge and Weasels, it's not funny and so they don't feel the urge to act.
FUN FACT: Judge Doom was actually the Pistol Packin' Possum.
If you watch closely in the shot where Doom shoots Maroon in the back at 23:49, you can see a poster of the Pistol Packin' Possum wearing clothes similar to Doom's while holding a gun that is IDENTICAL to the one Doom shoots with. Plus, the gun in the poster is also pointing right at Maroon.
The Pistol Packin' Possum is the ONLY toon through the whole movie to have red eyes, possums have a very high pitched squeal(that would explain Doom's high pitched voice), and all the posters after the Pistol Packin' Possum's were posters of Roger Rabbit movies. Geez, no wonder Doom chose to frame the toon that took the glory away from him.
As for Doom's gadgets...look where they were! Toon gadgets all around!
Not to mention that Pistol Packin' Possum NEVER appeared in every scene in the entire movie!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!
@@iusproductions9050YOOOOOOOOO
Dude, you're good at this. Always wondered who is he.
Wow what a twist
I think one of the most underrated moments is when Eddie says to Betty, "Yeah. You still got it." He's smiling as he says it. It's the first time we see him truly smile in the whole movie. It shows that even though he may hate toons in general he still has affection for Betty. It's another great bit of character beat that adds to Eddie.
And yet the smile has a bit force into it. His current toon bias is there cause of what happened to his brother, but he’s pushing it aside for Betty’s sake.
@@StrickenRecord That's a good point. It showed that for her he's willing to do that. This movie is so much fun to talk about.
It might be because he grew up watching her cartoons since she is an older cartoon character within the movie. So he might have a soft spot for her cause of his childhood.
@@user-cx6lq8mt5g It could be. It's possible since she's an older cartoon that Eddie watched her with his brother and father. That sort of nostalgia could be another reason why he has a soft spot for Betty.
@Nathan Jereb It's probably related to silent movies star losing their jobs when movies got sound, because they didn't sound good.
Fun fact: the scene with Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse: Disney was the one who said that Bugs should deliver the punchline about the spare tire because they think it makes more sense.
And... It does. You gotta give Disney credit.
The way Mickey just says, "Aw, poor fella. Ha-Ha!" with that iconic Mickey laugh made me half to pause the video just to laugh. It's like that entire South Park episode where Mickey beats up the Jonas Brothers and laughs the whole time, condensed into 1 line.
Wait, did they actually think Mickey Mouse would've gave him the spare tire? I mean, I expected Bugs to troll him like that, but not Mickey.
@@aaendi6661 I think it's moreso they thought Disney would've wanted to secure the punchline of a joke.
I just wonder was the line when Mickey point to Bugs Bunny and say "Bugs does" maybe a meta joke
27:59 Apparently there was a version of the script where Doom's true Toon identity is revealed (he turns out to be the hunter who shot Bambi's mother) but that got binned.
Also there were plans for a prequel set during World War 2 where Roger would join a "Toon Platoon" (who, in keeping with the "toons are a minority" thing, wouldn't be given the same respect as non-toon soldiers), fight Fifth Columnists, rescue his future wife Jessica from being forced to make pro-Nazi cartoons and at the end discover that he's Bugs Bunny's illegitimate son. Pity this never got made, it could've been fantastic.
One of the other comments is saying Doom might be a toon called the "Pistol Packing Possum" in the final version. You can see his poster at 23:50 as Maroon gets shot.
The outfit and gun are similar to Doom's and the Possum is the only other toon with red eyes. In fact the Possum's gun is pointing right at Maroon. Combine that with the fact that possums have a squeaky voice, and it matches Doom pretty perfectly.
Never heard about the prequel script, where did you hear about it?
@@ismellmandude6401 It's on the film's Wikipedia page
Speilberg was tired of making Nazi movies by that point
Not gonna lie, when Judge Doom's real identity as a toon is revealed, I was legit frightened by him. That high pitched voice and the crazy eyes, that is nightmare fuel right there! And what I love about this at the same time is that Eddie is also frightened when he realizes who Doom really is(before Doom talks to him about killing his brother). You see the fear in his facial expression that summarizes the words "My god, that's the guy who killed my brother, and now he is coming for me!"
Hot take: Bob Hoskins should have won an Oscar simply for being able to say the phrase "I always knew I'd get it in Toontown" with a straight face...
Agreed
No kidding. May he rest in peace. I cry every time I think about it.
Not only did he say it with a straight face, he made you feel like he honestly believed that.
As well as "OOGA-BOOGA!"
@@tristanhartup4936 How'd he do THAT without busting out laughing?😂
"I have to find my darling husband....I'm so worried about him" "Seriously!?......What do you see in that guy?!?!......" "he makes me laugh." - One of the greatest, most perfectly delivered lines in film history. That one line sums up how well the people who made this movie understand what makes cartoons so great.
And a lot of relationships in general ;)
"When I killed your brother I talked just like this."
I dont need to see him That line alone is scary for me.
I was 8 when this came out and loved it, but naturally that part scared me quite a bit. I had a book with pictures from the movie and for some reason they put a great big shot of Doom with the red eyes right in the part where the book naturally opened because of the staples. My older sister saved the day by neatly folding some wrapping paper and taping it over the scary pic :)
If you think about it, Roger is a good cartoon model. Energetic, funny and always trying his best. No wonder every cartoon lady falls for him.
Why Roger Rabbit isn't a well known character:
Throughout the late 80s and early 90s, Disney made a push to turn Roger Rabbit into their next big character, with him prominently appearing in theatrical shorts, television specials, comics and he had a notable presence in the Disney parks. *However, this ended as Disney ran into issues with Steven Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment, who co-owned the the film's characters and had to approve any new production that featured them. Additionally, the emerging Disney Renaissance meant that the company had a slew of new and popular characters that they could promote instead.*
Ok you clearly copy and pasted that but A for effort!
So when is the Live Action Remake of this video?
You know Disney would do such a thing. Roger becomes an children's entertainer by wearing a bunny costume all the time.
@@koneheadcokehead4981
For future generations to know.
A for effort
@@averymerrick Your right
Who Framed Roger Rabbit: Your whole childhood all in one film.
👍👍👍👍
Honestly what amazes me about this movie even to this day is how well the immersion between live action and animation holds up
@@DarkKnightofAnime Same.
Laserdisc with slow motion and pause
Nah
When I was younger and first saw this film, I was legit shook when he got flattened, but then *sat up* while still flattened. Yeah, the shoe was scarring, and his toon reveal was wild, but flattened cartoon sitting up was freaking unnerving!
In later years, I've found it fascinating that there's a definite detective angle in Roger Rabbit, but it's a meta one: Eddie isn't a very good detective, but if you're a viewer with a keen eye on you you'll notice that there are a lot of really subtle implications in the movie that Judge Doom is actually a character seen on a poster in Maroon's office (23:33) named Pistol Packin' Possum.
Jessica Rabbit's line
"I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way" is not odd for being iconic.
If anything, that line sums up Jessica's character perfectly.
On top great pun with her being a literally *drawn* toon, but as a mysterious bombshell woman, she can be easily mistaken to be a conniving sleaze or a floozy by how she's approached or her design alone. When in reality, she's actually a very wholesome and honest person who adores her husband despite her character role and physical appearance saying otherwise. So even though she isn't bad, she's *drawn* to seem that way to others.
That somehow reminded me of Miranda Lawson in ME2, she was made to be cold, b-word-y, sexualised and "perfect" her whole life, but deep inside she has phychological traumas, a will to protect her sister...and wardrobe full of very tight-to-skin outfits which are somehow useful not only in a battlefield (thanks to kinetic barriers) but even on different planets and a vacuum (And she doesn't even wear a helmet)
It also ties in with the allegory to racism the video mentions. People have preconceived notions of her based solely on how she looks instead of getting to know what’s inside.
You are right about the “bad” part, since in early drafts,Jessica was INDEED the killer.
Also, it’s in the original book too
Jessica: Why thank you.
Fun fact: this was actually Mae Questel’s final performance as Betty Boop before her death
Oh wow
Interesting fact, but I'd say it's far from fun.
@@Craxin01 Yes, you get an upvote for that.
Uhhh fun....?
Yeah... she didn't always "have it" cuz it never left her to begin with
"I've loved you more than any woman has ever loved a rabbit." Has become a less comical line since the rabbit vibrator sex toy became popular.
Always admired Lloyd never blinking in his scenes
There’s a big clue earlier in the movie, when Eddie kicks over some Dip and the judge hurriedly backs off. If he were human he wouldn’t have to worry about Dip, in fact he even wears rubber gloves when he uses it to erase that shoe.
I mean, I personally wouldn't want a potentially toxic chemical paintkiller mix on my skin either, So I'd say it's easy to see why the gloves easily slip past.
@@undertakernumberone1 makes sense because all the stuff that dip is made from those are the ingredients for paint thinner which may not be as dangerous to humans as it would be to what it is essentially a drawn image but it's still toxic for humans
Even if he WAS human, he'd still do that.
It's a clue but it's cleverly concealed by the POISON and TOXIC labels on the barrels; so until you learn he's a toon later on, you think he's just being cautious about a poisonous chemical. Really nice touch and attention to detail but hard to notice outside of hindsight.
@@aircraftcarrierwo-class yet later Eddie walks on it with no issue

I'm _stunned_ you didn't nominate 'Doug' for being dipped.
Timestamp?
I honestly thought it was a really cool detail that even though he hated Toons, Eddy still had respect for Betty Boop, possibly due to the fact that he watched her cartoons a lot before his brother died.
It still astounds me that they replaced the original actor for Judge Doom, Tim Curry, because he was TOO SCARY! If Christopher Lloyd gave me nightmares, I don't want to know what Tim Curry brought to the role!
But at the same time, too bad though, because several years later, Tim would go onto to work alongside Jessica Rabbit's singing voice Amy Irving in which their characters have a short but super sweet friends-to-lovers progression. Wouldn't THAT have made things interesting. 😆💖
They thought he was too scary when Christopher Lloyd created one of the biggest nightmare fuel scenes ever.
@@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose What work is that?
edit: nevermind, I found it, you were speaking of Ferngully: the last rainforest right?
@@leovk5779 Beauty and the Beast: The Tale of the Crimson Flower (1998). An English dub (or, more specifically, English re-write) of a Russian-animated short film from 1952. They played the titular characters in it. You can watch it here on UA-cam in fact! 😊
I wonder how it would've compared to his portrayal of Pennywise in the first IT adaptation.
We will never get a movie like Who Framed Roger Rabbit ever again. This still remains one of the most likable stories and is very impressive with its visual effects even over 30 years later!!
And it’s astounding work! Bob Hoskins & the other actors do a terrific job acting with basically invisible characters that were added later; they never wink to the camera with acting beside cartoons
I think the visual effects are in some ways the thing that impresses me the most after all this time because the immersion between live action and animation not only holds up incredibly well but I feel it's something that this film mastered and very few have managed to replicate if at all
Never say never, whatever you do!
Never say never, my friend!
Edit: just to be clear, I was mostly being silly by quoting some lines from a song by An American Tail.
Hollyweird would never give us a classic such as Roger Rabbit.
@@DarkKnightofAnime while we haven't gotten something like roger rabbit, i feel SYFY's HAPPY! Series could be a spiritual darker version of roger rabbit
just replace "toon" for "imaginary friend"
I was introduced to Nostalgia Critic by a friend who showed me his reviews of some truly horrible movies, which, let's face it, is pretty much what all review channels are about, so it's fascinating to see him - or anyone, for that matter - talk positively about something he genuinely loves. We need more of this on the internet - it might not be as funny, but it's really heartening and uplifting.
11:25 THANK YOU for highlighting that scene! I just re-watched this movie last night & was wowed by the seamless camera work + non verbal storytelling 👏🏾😭🎬
TBH, even as a kid, Doom’s cartoon eyes weren’t nearly as scary as the image of him being flattened by a steamroller.
His frantic screaming, desperate flailing and especially the fact that he looks like a normal, flesh and blood human terrified the hell out of me. It may have been an act, but for all intent and purposes, Doom was *terrified*. And the vision of a human screaming in terror as they’re slowly crushed by a steamroller has traumatized me my whole life.
i mean honestly, it was him being flattened and coming back up was the scary part for me. the eye scene is just plain BADASS, espeically with his line
And the phenomenal special effects just added to how batshit scary the steamroller scene is. It actually looks like he's getting flattened.
He still would have been turned into a pancake if Steven John Assanti sat on him instead of being rolled over by a steamroller.
You’re a woos.
Yeah I agree, the flattening was really intense when I was I kid.
This movie is just so brilliant. I love how Jessica is portrayed as beautiful and smart. She also loves her husband, who loves her dearly in return.
It would have been so easy to easy to made her a bimbo, but making her a femme fatale was the better choice
YES and a line at the beginning where Roger's boss accuses him of not seeing Jessica correctly "he thinks she's Martha Stewart" really says something because near the end when she said she'd bake him a carrot cake when they got home it made me wonder if Roger was the one who saw her for who she was/the way she wanted to be seen, as a loving caring wife 🥰
The one thing I find stupid now after all these years is how Eddie didn’t realize that possibly the toon who killed Marvin acme was also the one who killed his brother, he was killed the same way his brother was and usually when there are 2 victims killed the same it’s usually the same person
Couple things could factor into that.
1. It was a traumatic moment in his life so it’s not a memory he wants to think about. Just looking at a picture of his brother was enough to make him chug a bottle of liquor until he passed out so I can imagine he would try and block out the actual memory as best he can.
2. He doesn’t involve himself with toons anymore and especially not at that point. All he did was take some pictures so to him it’s not really his problem.
God i wish Roger had more airtime in other things, I always found him really adorable.
Agreed! And if we could not get more of Roger, Charles Fleischer should have at least had a more prolific voice acting career because he was perfect.
He captured all of Roger's goofy toony essence while humanizing him at the same time.
The Jessica "lookalike" is Lena the Hyena, "the world's ugliest woman", from the comic strip Li'l Abner. It was a running gag that she was so ugly, her face was always covered up by an editorial note explaining that the note was there to protect the readers. Eventually, there was a contest for readers to submit their own designs for Lena, which was won by the phenomenal artist, Basil Wolverton.
Oh, I didn't know she was from anything. Cool. :-)
As cool as this would be, Lena Hyena (without the "the") from Roger Rabbit is just a seperate character. That being said, due to the identical names and similar characteristics, it would stand to reason that the Roger Rabbit character was inspired by the Lil' Abner character.

Kathleen is a producer. She's good at connecting people and making business arrangements to ensure that films get funding and the resources they need to be made. She shouldn't have any creative control, she shouldn't get to make the final call on writers. She got insanely lucky earlier on in her career and got to come up alongside some of the greatest creatives of her time, but when she's the one in charge... you're in serious trouble.

Christopher Lloyd was so fucking terrifying to me in this movie as a kid that I didn't believe that he was also Doc Brown.
He's also _The Hacker!_

@@mitchfletcher2386 I remember Cyberchase.
Actually The scene of Eddie pouring out his whiskey was less of a message and more of a million themes and ideas all at once moment. It's him facing his past. Finally letting go of his bitterness. Getting rid of the crutch he's been using for years, rejecting what he's become and recapturing who he was. Basically. IT's every kind of Facing his demons moment possible.
I'm sure he recognizes the meaning behind it, he was just being a hyperbolic smartass.
A classic scene.
I like that he is finally letting go of his past and embracing the future.
"Ha ha, we just killed a men"

He did this about 10 years ago with his Hook review which begins with something along the lines of "Can I make fun of one of my favorite movies? I don't know but I'm sure gonna try!"
Did I say 10 years? I just checked and it was released in June of 2010, holy sh*t!
It's also satisfying when he gives widely hated movies that he likes a fair assessment, like Spiderman 3 and the 2007 Halloween remake.
@@fjgarcia3
But that's my point. He didn't really make fun of Roger Rabbit. Overall, this was one of his least cynical reviews yet, and I thought it was still hilarious and one of his best, lately.
And yes, that's even keeping Malcolm's portrayal in mind. That bit was more about how the character of Roger went practically nowhere, after the film, rather than shitting on the film itself. He really did seem like a character who would have made more frequent appearances, even if just guest starring in Looney Tunes and Disney shorts. THAT would have been cool, but also probably a total legal hassle, and probably why we haven't really seen much of him, now that I think of it... 😅🤷🏾♂️🖖🏾

I saw this movie for the first time when it came out on DVD back in 03-04ish. My parents brought it home and I knew nothing about this movie but I loved the hell out of it. I remember watching it at least four or five times within that week over and over again. The fact that I enjoyed it years later proves that this movie truly stands the test of time and should continue to be passed down to each generation
One of the great unsung heroes of Who Framed Roger Rabbit is Richard Williams. Richard and his team were the animators responsible for animated the toon characters in the film. Richard's infamous perfectionism and insistence on animated on the ones (meaning one frame of animation for every standard frame of life-action film, for 24 frames of animation every second, whereas most animation, whether feature film, short film, or animated television series, animate on twos (one animated frame for every 2 traditional frames of film, for a frame rate of 12 per second), threes (one animated frame for 3 frames of film, meaning 8 frames per second), or even on fours (one animated frame per four frames of film, rendering a very low, choppy 6 frames of animation per second); was crucial to make the toons believable in a live-action setting.
Fun fact: This is the only time Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny we're on screen together this is of course before Mickey's Drug rehab for blow!
The cocaine habit and his stint in rehab prevented Mickey from starring in Spacejam as the referee.
Either that or Disney went back on their gentleman's agreement that allowed them to use the Warner Brothers cartoon characters in this movie.
Mickey Mouse is now the pimp that rules the world, while Bugs Bunny is in a rundown retirement home.
@@nonnayerbusiness7704 Mickey Mouse chose not to be the ref because he was disappointed they were playing basketball instead of hockey.
We are never gonna get anything like this ever again for one reason only: Richard Williams, if you ever saw any setpiece of the Thief and the Cobbler, he had an attention to detail that no other animator had. He was a perfecionist.
It was pretty good watched it few months ago.
NC should review the Recobbled Cut
Can't forget about Robert Zemeckis & Steven Spielberg.
Williams attention to detail was to his own detriment though, you can’t exactly keep people finding your project when you keep missing deadlines as much as he was
“I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way” is Jesica in a microcosm. Everything about her is designed to get us not to trust her from the very beginning, made to be the archetype of the of the femme fatale. But she is trustworthy. She loves Roger, she was blackmailed into playing patty cake with Acme, and saves Eddie and knocks out Roger because she doesn’t want him hurt. She isn’t bad, she is just drawn that way.

Guess who did exactly that
26:07
No Seriously Doug, WHERE IS THE CENSOR BAR!
Oh it is in the next frame.
Me too. I am now 80.
I freeze-framed my dvd version but was sad to discover they’d darkened the spot so I couldn’t see a thing 😞
Our VCR sucked so much, all we could see were artifacts. I had a good imagination, though!
I had to use VHS tapes learning how to draw growing up. It wasn't easy since the tape wouldn't stay paused.
The most adorable character in this movie is the little shoe that Doom dips. I felt so bad for that little shoe like he was nuzzling up to doom like a little dog then he just gets murdered by him. It was so sad
Lord, that shoe killing still gets to me to this day. In fact, everything about this movie still gets to me, in the best way. Roger Rabbit and the Ghostbusters defined my formative years.
Here's a fact I knew that the Critic missed: Christopher Lloyd never blinks as Judge Doom.
That means his eyes were FROZEN TODAY.
Well he is always in sunglasses how can you tell?
That’s gotta sting.
@@motor4X4kombat Though there is no official record kept by the Guinness Book of World Records, there have been instances of people going over an hour without blinking. But yes, that is a good counterargument. There's probably some mention in the B.T.S.
@@motor4X4kombat It's a fun fact that I've heard about the film over time. It was one of the many things they did to make Judge Doom more menacing. Even with the sunglasses he wears, you can still see his eyes.
Here's what Christopher Lloyd said about it: "I just felt a toon doesn’t have to blink their eyes to remoisten their eyeballs. They’re not human, so I just felt Judge Doom should never blink. It makes him even more ominous, more scary, if he’s just looking like that. It wasn’t really difficult, I’d just keep my eyes open as long as I could, try to time it out with the next take and all that. It was cool. I just like to find little things that make him even more evil, and that was that."
Link to the section of the Wikipedia page where I sourced this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Doom#Casting
Christopher Lloyd is, unquestionably, one of the most under-appreciated actors in history
He also played Rasputin from Anastasia.
@@orangeslash1667 he sure did
For as relatively small and simple as it is, I think I like him the best as The Woodsman, second only to Doc Brown. I mean, sure, he's great here-- but EVERYTHING'S great here, and the best parts with him are when he doesn't even look or sound like himself.
@@devinpaul9026 i got to check that out. But he's also got Clue, Sin City 2, Wit, One Flew over the Cuckos Nest, Addams Family . and he was Def one of the best Star Trek Villains
@@crakatoot5480 Over The Garden Wall, it's called-- he's a woodsman. I'll say no more on that other than no matter what you think of the whole thing, you have to watch HIS whole story-- it's probably one of the best things-- or even THE best thing-- in the entire miniseries. And that's saying something in MY opinion.
The toony eyes of judge doom weren't what freaked me out as a kid in that climactic scene. It was doom's tortured screaming as we watch him get flattened by a steamroller.
I dont know if it's because this is a film you like, but this is definitely better than the last Nostalgia Critic review I watched. Glad you're improving, Doug. I'll check out more of your recent stuff
Fun fact: Doom was originally going to be the guy that killed Bambi's mom.
Well that easily would have made him the most despised Disney villain
"source"?
Isn't he supposed to be Pistol Packin' Possum from earlier in the film?
No way! :O
Now I can picture it.
Doom: “Remember me, Bambi? When I *killed* your mother?! I talked JUST! *LIKE!* *_THIIIIIIIS!!!”_*
"She looks like an hourglass if the Sahara Desert filled it up".
Okay, that's the classiest definition of thicc I've ever heard. :D
When I saw this in theaters, there were so many fingers pointing to Judge Doom as the culprit that I honestly thought he was going to be a Red Herring. So when he’s revealed as the killer, it was a genuine surprise for me.
Well, to be fair, the twist isn't that he's the culprit... arguably, the twist isn't even that he's a Toon; not even Eddie was surprised at that reveal... the twist is that Roger Rabbit is a legit detective story with a meta twist: Eddie isn't a great detective, but If you've got a keen eye, you can find clues in the movie pointing towards Judge Doom's _actual_ identity: The Pistol Packin' Possum. (Seen on a poster in Maroon's office at 23:33)
@@GrahamChapman Caught the poster at 07.04. (Digital version) Of course given the difference in size and Doom’s ability to change shape, it’s not his original form.
@@josealmeida2842 Indeed, changing size and shape is no biggie for a Toon after all: Stretching out to assume a human shape would be a small feat for a Toon originally the size and shape of a Possum... Some further clues in the movie: The Pistol Packin' Possum has a very distinct colour palette: Eyes the same deep red colour as Doom's true Toon eyes and fur of the same yellow colour as the paint that was found on the rope of the safe that was dropped on Marvin Acme and also the same colour of Doom's shape-shifting Toon body... The Possum in the poster is also Packin' a Pistol identical to the one Doom uses when he kills R.K. Maroon. There's even a shot in that scene when Eddie notices the gun that has the reflection of Doom's pistol perfectly overlap with the Pistol of the Possum in the poster. In almost any other movie, I'd just call that shot a funny gag, but in Roger Rabbit? No, there are way too many dramatic tropes that Doom evokes just by his mere nature as a Toons for that shot to be intended as a mere coincidence.
"This film won't start any cinematic universes"
Now we have the Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers movie, which I choose to believe is in the same universe as Roger Rabbit.
Approval of God: Gary Wolf, author of the book the movie is *kind of based on,* loved the movie, in fact he liked it so much that *he wrote a sequel to the original book more or less retconning the first and making the books closer to the movie.*
Ah yes, I heard about that. They retconned it so the book (titled Who Censored Roger Rabbit) was a dream I think Jessica had. That's how good the movie is.
The movie has basically nothing to do with the book though.
@@wariodude128 so Jessica dreamt that she was a selfish bitch who was essentially raped by her husband and said husband died horribly after committing a terrible crime? What the hell is going on in this woman’s subconscious to dream up that shit?
@@mrcritical6751 Don't ask me, ask Gary Wolf.
Which is beyond awesome
Not gonna lie, the scene where Judge Doom is revealed to be a toon, while yes I was a kid who was terrified of this scene, I can officially say now, as an adult, I find it extremely badass. I miss you 80's PG rating...
Back then I didn't mind the eyes of doom but now I'm bothered but it's still an amazing movie with no exception compared to some of the things people are making now
I mean 80's PG rating still exists, just look at Rango. The problem is nobody really pushes the boundaries of PG, nobody really goes this far from even though they totally can
Judge Doom scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
Same. The scene terrified me as a kid.
Dabbing in the watercolors?
14:11 A thing you missed here is the first hint of doom being a cartoon, the fact that he’s wearing a glasses be used when he kills the shoe. Think about it the dip was designed to kill toons, so why would he need gloves.(there safe all though for humans to touch)
The part with Donald Duck and Daffy Duck is just the best!!!!
Definitely my favorite part of the movie.
The scene when Roger said ' Sometimes in life it's the only weapon we have' is so powerful because it shows Roger isn't just a cartoon that's a job he's more aware than that. I wish there were more scenes of him showing this side.
I honestly thought that line was foreshadowing that toons could die of laughter, but good point.
"That's it, Doom. Give me another excuse to pump you full of lead! So you thought you could get away with it, didn't you? Ha! We toons may act idiotic, but we're not stupid. We demand justice. Why, the real meaning of the word probably hits you like a ton of bricks." And then he gets hit with a literal ton of bricks.
@@Kiku91 But Lt. Santino says that only dip can kill a toon and the only toons we see in the film who laugh to death are evil toons who only laugh at the expense of others.
I think it foreshadowed that laughter triumphed over evil (Judge Doom was thwarted by toon props that set his demise in motion)
"WHEN I KILLED YOUR BROTHER, I TALKED JUST....LIKE...THHHHHIIIIIIIISSSS!!!!"
That shit traumatized me as a kid and it still traumatizes me now
You are not alone.
i was not an easy to scare kid, but that part made me double take.
I remember having the film on VHS recorded from TV and when i saw that scene i recorded over the film because it scared me lol
I couldn't watch this movie again for years because of Judge Doom.
I closed my eyes in the theaters. It wasn't until several months after getting it on VHS I was able to finally watch.

There is a Disney+ Series called "Prop Culture" where we see but also reveal how some prop effects work in some movies. Episode 7 was all about Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Recommend it.
yeah but ... that would require getting Disney+
@@metazoxan2 Pretty soon with the death of Blu-Rays and Cable Channels that will become the only way (or one of the very few ways) to enjoy and support contemporary content legally from movies to series people might enjoy. Now there are many understandable reasons not to subscribe to any (or limited number of) streaming service(s), wait to subscribe, or cancel if you have. But after taking into account certain factors and making a choice if there are a couple of series, content, or other only offered in a certain streaming service than that's going to be the only way till other legal supportive measures are open. I'm might type about a certain series or episodes at times figuring maybe not now but some people might pay for the access maybe 5 years or more down the line. If so then what I can recommend or found interesting which in turn they might also find interesting to check out when that road opens to them. Also based on a recent twitter post from Creator Dana Terrace who wrote: "Seriously the BEST BEST BEST way to support the show" (this case The Owl House) "is watching it on D+." This has me believe that if you become a fan of a certain show and want to support the team making it then watching such shows on the corresponding Streaming Service has become far more vital now vs how it was in the past.
Yes! I love that show! :)
I won’t be surprised of Roger gets a comeback because of Disney+. I’m convinced they are redoing Gargoyles soon.
What's neat about Doom is that if you look back its revealed he was a toon actor for MANY toon villains in stuff including supposedly the Hunter in Bambi. He originally was type cast because of his ability to shape shift. However, from what is learned in comics he WASN'T a bad guy. Just played bad guys. What caused him to quite literally turn evil was a head injury he acquired while on the set of a shoot. Though it was believed he got better the truth was the injury was deeper and it caused him to lose his mind actually thinking he was the villains he played. That is where the created Judge Doom persona came from.
His real name was Baron Von Rotten and like Jessica he also closely resembled a human. It is also revealed he was a trailblazer for trying to get toon equal rights in a Toon Actors Guild. He was known as the "Toon With a Thousand Faces" as well. Just a little trivia I found interesting.
huh… Wonder what the real life equivalent would be…
I think I saw a poster that had an evil looking rodent type cartoon like the weasels, and had a mafioso type style and was holding a pistol that had a ridiculously long berall just like the one that tried to kill Eddie. We see the poster in the office of the guy running the studios, right in the back is where it was, that might have been another character "Doom" played. But I always thought that he really was that rodent toon who wanted more rolls so he kept chopping off his body to fit other rolls, and kept chopping and chopping until nothing of who he was is even left, just toon parts stitched together around a mind with so much hate, jealousy, and distaste for all those big shot toons. Atleast that's how I saw it trying to figure out who he was when I watched it as a kid growing up.
Holy cow thank you for that info
@@CharizardMaster69 The character actor Lon Chaney who was called "The Man of A Thousand Faces".

Something cool I learned years later was that the Dip is supposed to be representing the solution used to wipe animation cels clean so that they could be recycled for new shows.
Indeed. It's really clever.
I thought it was just an unholy combination of dangerous paint thinners.
To Cherrie and Chaos, you are both correct.
The concoction is literally a mix of nonpolar solvents, specifically turpentine and acetone and benzine. I work in a plastics manufacturing factory, one part of which prints graphics for Heluva Good and Cool Whip onto the blank cups. Generally, each machine has a number of ink wells. Each ink-well feeds ink onto a plate, which places the image onto a thing called a 'blanket' which acts like the soft part of a stamp, and then the machine "stamps" the image from the blanket onto the blank stock.
When cleaning the ink off of machine parts, the metal plates which contain the image(s) making the graphic, the stamp-like "blankets" that press the image onto the plastic cups, or nearly anything else that gets paint on it, our singular solvent is acetone. This includes cleaning the plastic "sleeves" that are put onto the plates after they are taken off the machine (since without the sleeves the edges of the plates can slice you if you are a klutz like me).
----
The ink used is not that different from the paint you would use to paint your house or do an arts-and-crafts project with. The biggest problem to raw acetone is that it's really frickin' flammable. So in a hot enclosed office, you would likely want something less-flammable as well. Like turpentine.

Honestly i think the reason Jessica's line of "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way." Is so remembered because it's an inpactful line. Jessica uses it to describe herself that she isn't a bad person because of her appearance as that was something she was basically born into having. It could've been another clever and subtle comparison to the racism of the time and the oversexualition and fetishism of black women as a whole.
