Thanks again for today's Premiere💝I had so much Fun!😉 As Promised: there are 2 Animated Shorts featuring Roger Rabbit & Baby Herman ("Tummy Trouble / Rollercoaster Rabbit") that can be viewed right here on YT!👌
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
"...not very kid-friendly for a kids movie." Who told you it was a kid's movie? Disney's Touchstone Pictures handled production, which is a brand used for material deemed not family friendly.
This movie still holds up. My Mom took me to see this movie when I was 8 years old. It blew my mind to see Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny in the same movie. This is what really got me into movies.
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.
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 😁
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
You mentioned how much you love the music. I feel I gained a lot of love for music from the brilliance of Carl Stalling (Looney Tunes) and Scott Bradley (Tom & Jerry).
It's not just the technological achievement, it's the script, the story, the characters et al. A film of this high quality will NEVER be made again, sadly. You look at the super talents behind the scenes and it is fact. As always, your reactions are so genuine and sincere, they bring me right back to childhood, Jen. Yes, please, bring on Space Jam, another favorite from back then.
"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.
Jen, I just love the fact that you appreciate the music. Harvey was a 1944 play about a man whose best friend is a 6 ft 3+1⁄2 in tall white invisible rabbit named Harvey and the ensuing debacle when the man's sister tries to have him committed to a sanatorium.
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.
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.
Hey Jen, when this movie came out traditional toons on the big screen were dyin. ------- Zemekis saught to give the genre once last hoorah. ------- He even hired tons of former Disney animators to work on the movie. -------- They knew it was threir last chance at glory to everyone went all out to make this an epic masterpiece. -------- Including had drawing all the cartoon character in all the scenes. -------- Which was mind blowing to even comprehend.
Little known fact: The character Angelo, the guy in the bar who made the Harvey rabbit joke, was played by Richard Ridings, who went on to voice Daddy pig in Pepper Pig
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.
"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. For a darker, stranger, possibly even more chaotic mix of live-action and animation - Cool World, with Brad Pitt, Kim Basinger, and Gabriel Byrne. Stay through the credits for a title song by David Bowie.
"I need to call my butt my biscuits". Haha, you're the best Jen! I remember when I saw this in the theater and Yosemite Sam said that, I laughed so hard. I said that for years after that.
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.
31:20 That scene of him getting up and walking around all flat and the eyeballs falling out scared me so much when I was a little kid, my mom had to turn it off after that lol!
I like this movie and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about what I say right and also I am not scared of it I am brave of it
Hey Jen, it was the master himself Walt Disney who did the first animation and live action flick, "Mary Poppins" He and the animators won several Oscar awards back in 1964 for their breakthrough work
@@RM-we7px - And MGM really wanted Mickey Mouse in that scene. Apparently the conversation went something like this: Walt: Let me get this straight. 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."
This is my favorite type of reaction , this kind of movie . All Smiles and laughter and your special brand of music . I mean I like 'em all (except the ones when you weep , I do appreciate them , and will watch, but not my cuppa .) But Smiling ear to ear Jen , my faves .
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. I recommend that you search on UA-cam for the making of this film. You will be blown away by how they were able to achieve this.😊
Jen, definitely check out the making of this movie. It's really amazing how they pulled off some of the interactions between the toons and real objects/people. Even if it's just on your own time, it's a really interesting thing to see.
There are some reactions where, from the moment I see the title, I think “Jen is going to love this” and I know we’re in for a great ride. I wasn’t disappointed.
For anyone who loves animation this was a masterpiece , and i love the film noir genre as well so this combines all these elements blending in Live action seamlessly . definitley a groundbreaker for it's time and still holding up well today . i must give props to these actors for interacting so fluidly with the animation Bob Hoskins was a great actor who has passed away along with many of the voice actors in this RIP to them all 🙏 A great lead in to the weekend Cheers JEN have a good one . 😃
We all grew up with Looney Tunes, Saturday morning cartoons, movie theater cartoons, and so on. The film is genius! I believe it holds a place in most of our hearts. The acting, character development, plot, set design, exceptional! Once again Jen excellent choice! 😊 big fan...Eric
We can always count on Jen on putting us in a happy mood for the weekend. It was fun to see all the different characters from our favorite cartoons all in once place. Thank you Jen, your enthusiasm for every movie you react to is what makes you so endearing. Plus the fact you're a fellow Canadian ;)
What's so cool about this is that the real-world props were moved by people and all the animation was done after the fact. Like the gun with the weasel was a gun on a string, all the movement of the piano and stools when the ducks were playing were being bounced around by people using strings in the rafters and one of the coolest ones are the penguins. They had the set on top with slits and sticks (with props like plates) so people could walk around under the set so they could animate the penguins later in the actual shot since they had a point of reference. A clue that Judge Doom is a toon.. He put on a glove at 10:49 and we find out later humans are safe from The Dip.
In the cartoon universe, Roger Rabbit is famous. He's one of the funniest which is what toons value the most. That's why Jessica Rabbit - despite her appearance - is actually lucky to have Roger.
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
In case you didn't recognize her, delores was the actress who played the first replicant to be retired in blade runner. Who knows, you might see her in a star Trek episode.
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).
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.
I love that the "patty cake" reveal isn't just the expected gag of a misunderstanding (i.e., "Oh...I didn't know you meant ACTUAL patty cake"), but rather an example of toon logic: Jessica literally playing patty cake with Marvin is just as much of a betrayal as actual cheating. XD
Not many knew who Bob Hoskins was before this movie (I didn't), but his star sproingged upwards after it! Brilliant movie -- nostalgia, toon shenanigans and wonderful characters. Not to mention the awesome work to get toons and humans together on the screen! This is my favourite Zemeckis movie, and he had a great string of hits in the 80s and 90s.
This movie is incredible! It's a fun mystery, and the unprecedented crossover is wild, but it's also just a flat out technical marvel in even being possible.
Bob Hoskins as Eddie Valiant Stubby Kaye (known for Nicely-Nicely Johnson in Guys and Dolls) as Marvin Acme Charles Fleischer as Roger Rabbit Joanna Cassidy as Dolores Mel Blanc (Man of 1000 Voices... Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, etc.) June Foray (known for Rocky the Flying Squirrel) and Pat Buttram as Toons
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.
The behind the scenes details for this movie are *insane* and can be found around the internet. I still remember an interview with Hoskins where he explained when he held Roger's throat, he had to make sure his fist was closed, because otherwise they would have to *paint a bit of white fur between his fingers on each frame*. And yes, there's little doubt Jessica caused 7-year-old me quite a bit of confusion. For being so... mature and dark, this is still high on my list of favorite movies.
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.
They don't make em like this anymore! Classic. I highly recommend the making of video for this film, all the animated frames were hand drawn and painted into every frame! Before CGI was a thing. epic job.
Live action with animation had been a thing for a while. Mary Poppins was a family staple back then. That and The Incredible Mr. Limpet both came out in 1964. It just occurred to me that Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out before the Berlin wall came down ('89). And now I feel really old.
so the way they did this, is they had to film the live action scenes FIRST, then draw all the animation bits afterwards, resulting in the perfection we have today :).
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.
It was such an experience back then! My graduation gift to myself. The suspense, the humour, and the way they had the animation characters interacting with the humans. Great casting. A tribute to film noir and now my favorite movie.
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......
Looney tunes and real people living together... Would've liked to visit that world! Great reaction Jen! I was laughing and singing the whole time! What a great throwback to watching cartoons in my youth! Roger Rabbit had me in stitches! I hope you watch more animated movies like cars, space jam, shark tales and barnyard just to name a few! Luv ya Jen ❤️💛 🖖🐰
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.
The moments where the toons interacted with the normal (like when Roger takes the drink) were done with motorized wire frames and the like, which were thin enough where they could be covered by the animation.
Blast from the past! I remember seeing this in the cinema as a kid and was mesmerised, such a fun movie and still holds up really well today I think. Another gem enjoyed with Jen. :) (oh, my fave character(s) is a tie between Dumbo and Yosemite Sam - even if only quick cameos)
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)
I didn't appreciate how much work went into the movie when I first saw it because the blending of animation and live action is so well done that it's almost seamless. It was only when I saw a few of the behind the scenes specials did I realize how hard it was for the animators to pull it off.
5:02 "Was that, like, the first time a cartoon ever swore?" Answer: look up the 1933 Warner Bros. cartoon "Bosko's Picture Show"; perhaps not the first time a cartoon swore, but definitely one of the best.
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.
You laughed at one of my favorite dark humor gags ever done in movies! Yay! The deadpan delivery of “dropped a piano on his head” is up there with a few of the Robocop dark humor gags in my head, and boy did Robocop have a ton of dark humor
I don’t remember the name of the series but it’s on Disney plus, and it’s an episode about this movie, and they reunite Lloyd with the Doom suit, and it’s as fun as it comes cause he enjoyed being in this movie as much as I enjoyed watching this movie
Also, there was a required 1:1 ratio of Warner bros characters screen time to Disney character screen time. That was the deal, and why we had Daffy versus Donald: when Ducks Collide and Mickey and Bugs, the company icons falling with Eddie. Dumbo and “half the cast of Fantasia” offset by Yosemite Sam, Tweety. that kind of thing. And it all came together just so
I saw this in the theater when it came out. My friend and I were blown away by the story, seamless animation and live action, the inclusion of toons from rival companies, and the humor! And the jokes! "...on the rocks..."! And when Jessica makes her first appearance, all the guys in the audience actually reacted like the in-movie audience 😆. Such a wonderful movie 🥰

No one has surpassed it. The shadow work and the time elapse segment are masterful
“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.
The sign of a great movie is when the movie follows its own rules governing its own universe, and Who Framed does that perfectly.
He should have just asked Roger to give him a hand.
"Do you mean you could've broken up with her at any time?"
"Not any time! Only when it was funny!"
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.
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
"This baby's so cute"😂"That baby's the worst"😅
The lil shoe getting dipped is honestly one of the most sad and disturbing things I’ve ever seen in a movie.
up there with Littlefoot's mom in shocking deaths
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. 😭
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.
@@ajearthdude8467Hollywood is full of baby rapers. They want kids to cry
@@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.
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
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. :)
Maybe MGM didn't want Tom and Jerry in the movie for some reason. Same thing with Popeye and mighty mouse.

Mae Questel was the old lady in the Christmas Vacation movie.
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.
You caught Christopher Lloyd faster than anyone I've seen yet, fantastic!
"A laugh can be a very powerful thing. Sometimes in life, its the only weapon we have." I love this line so much. Brilliant
I’ll always remember that poor little shoe toon. Really scared me as a kid 😵
💯 I would've cried as a kid
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!
@@jenmurrayxo - I didn't react too well to that either. My mum then suggested to me that I re-draw the shoe, and then it would still live on.
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.
You have great taste ,the red-letter media review of the movie shows the making also ,take care
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.
It's entirely probable my acceptance of the Mario movie is heavily bouyed by Hoskin's performance here.
"...not very kid-friendly for a kids movie." Who told you it was a kid's movie? Disney's Touchstone Pictures handled production, which is a brand used for material deemed not family friendly.
This movie still holds up. My Mom took me to see this movie when I was 8 years old. It blew my mind to see Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny in the same movie. This is what really got me into movies.
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.
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 😁
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.
It was also a different time. Disney wasn't doing so good before The Little Mermaid and the other animated classics rejuvenated the company.
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.
I wish they had Tex Avery characters as well.
@@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.
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.
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.
"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way" - Jessica Rabbit
You mentioned how much you love the music. I feel I gained a lot of love for music from the brilliance of Carl Stalling (Looney Tunes) and Scott Bradley (Tom & Jerry).
The dueling pianos scene is a landmark in cinema history.
It's not just the technological achievement, it's the script, the story, the characters et al. A film of this high quality will NEVER be made again, sadly. You look at the super talents behind the scenes and it is fact. As always, your reactions are so genuine and sincere, they bring me right back to childhood, Jen. Yes, please, bring on Space Jam, another favorite from back then.
"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.
Also, watch A Goofy Movie. It's a classic.
Jen, I just love the fact that you appreciate the music.
Harvey was a 1944 play about a man whose best friend is a 6 ft 3+1⁄2 in tall white invisible rabbit named Harvey and the ensuing debacle when the man's sister tries to have him committed to a sanatorium.
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.
Always loved this movie. Glad you did too. And one of the few reactors who actually included (and got) the "middle of a song. A BRIDGE!" joke lol.
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.
Lol, dipping a cell into solvent - hardly genius.
@@Cheepchipsable I think it's an ingenious add the the script to add fatal consequences to the plot.
Hey Jen, when this movie came out traditional toons on the big screen were dyin. ------- Zemekis saught to give the genre once last hoorah. ------- He even hired tons of former Disney animators to work on the movie. -------- They knew it was threir last chance at glory to everyone went all out to make this an epic masterpiece. -------- Including had drawing all the cartoon character in all the scenes. -------- Which was mind blowing to even comprehend.
Little known fact: The character Angelo, the guy in the bar who made the Harvey rabbit joke, was played by Richard Ridings, who went on to voice Daddy pig in Pepper Pig
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.
Though, Angelo isn't referencing the movie, he's referencing the play since the Jimmy Stewart film didn't come out yet.
"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.
For a darker, stranger, possibly even more chaotic mix of live-action and animation - Cool World, with Brad Pitt, Kim Basinger, and Gabriel Byrne. Stay through the credits for a title song by David Bowie.
"I need to call my butt my biscuits". Haha, you're the best Jen! I remember when I saw this in the theater and Yosemite Sam said that, I laughed so hard. I said that for years after that.
I ride motorcycles and still say that when I sit on my bike after it's been sitting in the sun too long(those seats get darn hot)
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.
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!)
31:20 That scene of him getting up and walking around all flat and the eyeballs falling out scared me so much when I was a little kid, my mom had to turn it off after that lol!
Ya a couple scenes in this would've freaked me out as a kid!
Awww 😅 but omg same with me and my siblings. it was obviously for older kids 10 and up
I like this movie and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about what I say right and also I am not scared of it I am brave of it
Hey Jen, it was the master himself Walt Disney who did the first animation and live action flick, "Mary Poppins" He and the animators won several Oscar awards back in 1964 for their breakthrough work
Oh yes TRUE
Actually in 1945 an MGM film called Anchors Aweigh with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra had live action and Tom & Jerry cartoon in it. Before Walt.
@@RM-we7px True. Great insight. ------- I'm sure Walt had to see someone try it on a small scale, before he turned the idea into an entire move.
@@RM-we7px i should have said. Walt was one of the first to do the cartoon and live action genre.Thanks for giving me and Jen the heads up.
@@RM-we7px - And MGM really wanted Mickey Mouse in that scene. Apparently the conversation went something like this:
Walt: Let me get this straight. 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."
This is my favorite type of reaction , this kind of movie . All Smiles and laughter and your special brand of music . I mean I like 'em all (except the ones when you weep , I do appreciate them , and will watch, but not my cuppa .) But Smiling ear to ear Jen , my faves .
Thanks lou! These are my fav too! :)
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. I recommend that you search on UA-cam for the making of this film. You will be blown away by how they were able to achieve this.😊
I'll definitely look up some behind the scenes! This blew me away! :)
Jen, definitely check out the making of this movie. It's really amazing how they pulled off some of the interactions between the toons and real objects/people. Even if it's just on your own time, it's a really interesting thing to see.
There are some reactions where, from the moment I see the title, I think “Jen is going to love this” and I know we’re in for a great ride. I wasn’t disappointed.
For anyone who loves animation this was a masterpiece , and i love the film noir genre as well so this combines all these elements blending in Live action seamlessly .
definitley a groundbreaker for it's time and still holding up well today .
i must give props to these actors for interacting so fluidly with the animation Bob Hoskins was a great actor who has passed away along with many of the voice actors in this RIP to them all 🙏
A great lead in to the weekend
Cheers JEN have a good one . 😃
We all grew up with Looney Tunes, Saturday morning cartoons, movie theater cartoons, and so on. The film is genius! I believe it holds a place in most of our hearts. The acting, character development, plot, set design, exceptional! Once again Jen excellent choice! 😊 big fan...Eric
👋Good Afternoon, My Friend; this should be a FUN Premiere today! 😂👍
@@tomhoffman4330 Agreed! Just sent you a response on the favorite character question.
@@e.d.2096 Hey, I'm a Guy!☺(LOL)
I can't help but have a giant smile ever time I see this movie. The best movie from the 80's.
Fun, as always, Jen. Your intelligence and sense of humor are a joy to observe. 🤓 🤣
Thanks! This one was so much fun :)
This movie scared the heck out of me when I was a kid.
Loved the movie as a kid. Loved it more as an adult when i saw he drinks Wild Turkey 😁
There is a documentary "The making of Who Framed Roger Rabbit" or something like that. Worth watching!
We can always count on Jen on putting us in a happy mood for the weekend. It was fun to see all the different characters from our favorite cartoons all in once place. Thank you Jen, your enthusiasm for every movie you react to is what makes you so endearing. Plus the fact you're a fellow Canadian ;)
The tunnel that goes to toon town is the same tunnel used in back to the future 2
Same Director (Robert Zemeckis) did this and ALL-3 of those Movies too!👍
This was the movie I went to see on my first date with my wife. Picking a great movie can really make a date go well.
What's so cool about this is that the real-world props were moved by people and all the animation was done after the fact. Like the gun with the weasel was a gun on a string, all the movement of the piano and stools when the ducks were playing were being bounced around by people using strings in the rafters and one of the coolest ones are the penguins. They had the set on top with slits and sticks (with props like plates) so people could walk around under the set so they could animate the penguins later in the actual shot since they had a point of reference. A clue that Judge Doom is a toon.. He put on a glove at 10:49 and we find out later humans are safe from The Dip.
I can’t wait to see what you think of this one!!!! 🐰 🤪
Great to see you here, Tara! I think that your sister, Jen, loved it. 🙂
I loved it too!! And youuuuu ♡
@@jenmurrayxo ♥️♥️♥️
Tara! 😀🤗
Jen has such a charming personality
Another perfectly written movie from Robert. Every line, every scene, has a purpose. Set up. Pay off. As an author, it's a beautiful thing to see.
Instant like, Roger Rabbit is such a unique movie. Amazing music by Silvestri, great directing by Zemeckis, just a thrill of a ride
In the cartoon universe, Roger Rabbit is famous. He's one of the funniest which is what toons value the most. That's why Jessica Rabbit - despite her appearance - is actually lucky to have Roger.
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
In case you didn't recognize her, delores was the actress who played the first replicant to be retired in blade runner. Who knows, you might see her in a star Trek episode.
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).
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.
I love that the "patty cake" reveal isn't just the expected gag of a misunderstanding (i.e., "Oh...I didn't know you meant ACTUAL patty cake"), but rather an example of toon logic: Jessica literally playing patty cake with Marvin is just as much of a betrayal as actual cheating. XD
Not many knew who Bob Hoskins was before this movie (I didn't), but his star sproingged upwards after it! Brilliant movie -- nostalgia, toon shenanigans and wonderful characters. Not to mention the awesome work to get toons and humans together on the screen! This is my favourite Zemeckis movie, and he had a great string of hits in the 80s and 90s.
Not many in the USA & Canada...
This movie is incredible! It's a fun mystery, and the unprecedented crossover is wild, but it's also just a flat out technical marvel in even being possible.

You are so much fun on a drab winter evening. Thank you, Jen. 🤭🥰🥰😘 xxxx
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.
You may know Bob Hoskins (RIP) as the voice of Borris the goose in Balto.
Blown away: by the cooperation of Disney with every other 'toon. SO wonderful.
I really needed this today. Thanks Jen
Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤. Big rodger rabbit fan
Thanks John you too! Loved this one
The behind the scenes details for this movie are *insane* and can be found around the internet. I still remember an interview with Hoskins where he explained when he held Roger's throat, he had to make sure his fist was closed, because otherwise they would have to *paint a bit of white fur between his fingers on each frame*.
And yes, there's little doubt Jessica caused 7-year-old me quite a bit of confusion. For being so... mature and dark, this is still high on my list of favorite movies.
Just hearing Jen making all those funny noises makes the video totally worth it! 😂
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 worked at a movie theater when this came out and remember this being packed for six months….
Jen, A GOOFY MOVIE is a MASTERPIECE that must be watch immediately
They don't make em like this anymore! Classic. I highly recommend the making of video for this film, all the animated frames were hand drawn and painted into every frame! Before CGI was a thing. epic job.
Live action with animation had been a thing for a while. Mary Poppins was a family staple back then. That and The Incredible Mr. Limpet both came out in 1964.
It just occurred to me that Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out before the Berlin wall came down ('89). And now I feel really old.
I love the detail on what the Dip is made out of. How do you kill a toon? Paint thinner. 😆
so the way they did this, is they had to film the live action scenes FIRST, then draw all the animation bits afterwards, resulting in the perfection we have today :).
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.
“Her second name is rabbit because she married Roger Rabbit”
It took me 20 years to realise that - you got it straight away :)
It was such an experience back then! My graduation gift to myself. The suspense, the humour, and the way they had the animation characters interacting with the humans. Great casting. A tribute to film noir and now my favorite movie.
There is a small you tube documentary on the making of "Who framed Roger Rabbit that is definitely worth seeing
absolutely adore your reaction. exactly what i expected from you
This movie never gets old. Classic
What a great film for a Live Reaction!! How many times will Jen laugh out loud??? 😂
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......
Looney tunes and real people living together... Would've liked to visit that world! Great reaction Jen! I was laughing and singing the whole time! What a great throwback to watching cartoons in my youth! Roger Rabbit had me in stitches! I hope you watch more animated movies like cars, space jam, shark tales and barnyard just to name a few! Luv ya Jen ❤️💛 🖖🐰
I was surprisingly happy you got most of the references. Call backs to different movies & cartoons
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.
The moments where the toons interacted with the normal (like when Roger takes the drink) were done with motorized wire frames and the like, which were thin enough where they could be covered by the animation.
One of my favorite live action animated Disney movies ever made!
Blast from the past! I remember seeing this in the cinema as a kid and was mesmerised, such a fun movie and still holds up really well today I think. Another gem enjoyed with Jen. :) (oh, my fave character(s) is a tie between Dumbo and Yosemite Sam - even if only quick cameos)
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)
Hi Jen. You are right about the Harvey reference. Its an old b/w film starring James Stewart.
I didn't appreciate how much work went into the movie when I first saw it because the blending of animation and live action is so well done that it's almost seamless. It was only when I saw a few of the behind the scenes specials did I realize how hard it was for the animators to pull it off.
5:02 "Was that, like, the first time a cartoon ever swore?"
Answer: look up the 1933 Warner Bros. cartoon "Bosko's Picture Show"; perhaps not the first time a cartoon swore, but definitely one of the best.
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.
Such an iconic movie 🍿
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.
You laughed at one of my favorite dark humor gags ever done in movies! Yay! The deadpan delivery of “dropped a piano on his head” is up there with a few of the Robocop dark humor gags in my head, and boy did Robocop have a ton of dark humor
I don’t remember the name of the series but it’s on Disney plus, and it’s an episode about this movie, and they reunite Lloyd with the Doom suit, and it’s as fun as it comes cause he enjoyed being in this movie as much as I enjoyed watching this movie
Also, there was a required 1:1 ratio of Warner bros characters screen time to Disney character screen time. That was the deal, and why we had Daffy versus Donald: when Ducks Collide and Mickey and Bugs, the company icons falling with Eddie. Dumbo and “half the cast of Fantasia” offset by Yosemite Sam, Tweety. that kind of thing. And it all came together just so
This movie has my favorite scene,.. Roger has the handcuffs and he can't remove them until it was funny
❤
Amazing!
I saw this in the theater when it came out. My friend and I were blown away by the story, seamless animation and live action, the inclusion of toons from rival companies, and the humor! And the jokes! "...on the rocks..."! And when Jessica makes her first appearance, all the guys in the audience actually reacted like the in-movie audience 😆. Such a wonderful movie 🥰
