Funny story: after the movie premiered, Bob Hoskins' son stopped talking to him for a week and when he asked him what was wrong he responded by saying he was upset because his dad worked with Bugs Bunny and other cartoons and didn't let him meet them.

Kids in the 80s weren't so over protected as they are today. This movie is rated PG, for all ages with guidance from parents.

I will never get over the shoe and the dip scene. As a kid the sound of it melting as it cries out before dying was such a brutal thing. Than again it cemented how evil the bad guy was. This is enhanced by how the shoe was innocent but still executed.

Touchstone was owned by Disney. They got permission from other studios to include their characters. Warner Bros had a requirement on equal screen time for certain characters, which is why in some scenes you have a Disney and Warner character on screen at the same time. They were also able to get many original voice actors, including for Betty Boop.

@MrNoosphere Exactly. Any production that might even slightly tarnish Disney’s family friendly brand/image, they would just release under their Touchstone label. Kind of interesting how Disney at first wanted to keep their distance from The Nightmare Before Christmas, so they releases it under Touchstone, but after it became a successful holiday classic with lots of merchandising possibilities, and there was basically no concerned parents to worry about, they reclaimed it for the Disney brand and redid the title sequence years later, so it says “Walt Disney Presents” now, instead of Touchstone Pictures… which kind of annoys me. For the sake of historical accuracy (and nostalgia), I wanted the Touchstone logo! I was slightly surprised to see it here… guess Disney still doesn’t want their name on this one. Too risqué.

11:30 Did you notice how he ordered his drink "on the rocks" -- and even though he realized the risk and clarified that he meant "with ice," he still got served with actual rocks in his glass? 😁

One interesting detail about toons verse people in this world is that human are attracted to looks but toons find humor above all attractive. That is why Betty Boop says Jessica is a lucky gal with being married to Roger, he is considered one of the funniest toons in there world, so one of the most desired. While Jessica has the classic looks that humans find attractive.

When this was made, it was a kid's movie. I watched it as a kid, and so did lots of adults. It was a movie for both. If you go back and watch a lot of the "kids" movies from the 70s and 80s and before, you will see that some of them are pretty freaky and scary to people now. Look at the Dark Crystal. That movie could be hellishly terrifying to a kid today. Maybe it is a difference in how people are now as opposed to then. Maybe some kids thought this or the Dark Crystal or lots of other movies we watched then were scary, but most didn't. They were awesome and fun, mostly because, at least for me, I knew it was just a movie, even as a kid, and could enjoy it as simple entertainment. Maybe the wonky special effects then or the obvious costumes due to the tech at the time helped. I don't know.

I took the bus 15 miles each way to see this movie in the theater at the mall with my friends for $1.50 about 6 times when I was 11 years old. We always got there early enough to hit the arcade first and pick up some gummy worms at the candy store to sneak in, too. It was a different time. A far better one, if you ask me.

41:20 these are cartoon characters that many, many adults grew up watching. So this movie is for the adults who used to watch them when they were kids. It's pure nostalgia

"Is this a toon club?" Sorta. The Ink & Paint Club is a reference to segregation era establishments where the staff and performers were minorites but only white customers were admitted.

SO much lingo....and much of it 1940's-specific. For example, if your wife is having an affair, she's playing pattycake on you. The joke, of course, is that the pictures show her playing a literal game known as pattycake. And when Roger flips through the pictures really quickly, it reproduces the way the illusion of motion in film actually works. I love this movie on so many levels.

Actually I can tell you as a child of the 80's, we used to watch this movie when I was in the 2nd grade in elementary school. It was a kids movie and was completely normal to us. Still one of my favorite movies as a child. Never scared me as a kid or anyone else my age not even once. Great movie reaction by the way 🙂. Keep them coming!

I love all the cartoons at the end swaying and singing together. Just a cute movie.

42:10 "...but the part when they revealed that he was a toon? I did not see that coming." You noticed hints, like when you commented on his unusually white teeth.

Fun Fact: the lead role of Eddy in this movie was actually supposed to be Bill Murray but the Director and producers literally could not get ahold of him so they went with their second option Bob Hoskins. Bill Murray found out about this years later during an interview on the Howard Stern show, and was very upset he missed an opportunity to be in Roger rabbit.

Several small things you notice on repeat viewings, Doom's teeth are comically white and don't look to fit in his mouth just right. During the Shave and Haircut scene you can see him getting slowly more and more close to saying "two bits" even looking to start whispering the jingle. Showing he's a toon unable to resist for long. When the dip is tipped over, he actively recoils to get away from it. When he trips on the fake eyes and comes back up, he'd holding his eye cuz it fell out amongst the others. If anyone else spotted more than that, feel free to add here.

The one part of Chris walking through the eyeball field is such a cool moment. I have no clue how many takes they had to do just to get it right. His character purposely walks through it, stumbles, readjusts his balance and doesn’t bust his ass, lose concentration or eye contact, and is able to continue his monologue flawlessly. Just adds to the inhuman, determined and uncanny valley side of Judge Doom along with Christopher Lloyd being the consummate professional.

😎👍 In addition to Disney and Warner Brothers characters, there are also three other studios represented: Paramount (Betty Boop), MGM (Droopy Dog) and Universal (Woody Woodpecker). More than anything else, this is what really blew people's minds when this film came out. 🤯 All the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing to convince five different major studios to collaborate in the creation of one project must've been a complete legalistic nightmare. 😵

Congratulations on the Patreon. Yes it was created for people who watched these cartoon characters on television from the 1950’s through the early 1980’s. It was a very big hit and it took quite a bit of cooperation between not only Disney and Warner Brothers but a few other studios as well such as MGM and Hanna-Barbera. While Disney may have been the biggest I was always more partial to Warner Brothers. Bugs Bunny will always be the GOAT to me.

The 1980s were a very different time. This was intended for kids, and everyone else, just like many other movies of the time that were much more graphic. The whole idea of things even just being appropriate for certain age groups was a concept that was still just coming together. This was around the time when PG-13 was invented after Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was rated PG even though it had a guy's heart getting ripped out when he was still alive. Those days, probably half the population thought that kids seeing gruesome stuff would "toughen them up" and get them ready for the real world, or something like that. People weren't so protective, back then. Nightmares were expected.

Actually, the pattycake scene is multi-layered. The sex euphemism (which is still a thing, even now, but used most in the 1940's when the movie is set) remains applicable, as does the kid's game. But the third thing that the morally questionable photos are good for is, since it is just pictures of Marvin Acme & Jessica Rabbit playing "pattycake" together (making it family appropriate, rather than actual Rule 34 between a human [specifically the owner of Toon Town] & a Toon [Jessica Rabbit, Roger's saucy & buxom wife]), when a dejected Roger angrily flipped through the photos, the fluidity of his movements began causing the "pattycake" scene to actually play out in real time, much like an old-school animator's animation flipbook.

Love your reactions you had me smiling all the way through

"Carrot Cake", Roger is a rabbit, and rabbits love carrots. 🙂 At the beginning, when the intro cartoon ends, something naughty happens. As Baby Herman passes underneath the woman's dress, he does something very adult with his finger. This was in the original film run in theaters, and on at least the first release on VHS in '89 or '90. It was only caught after the movie was released on video. I saw proof of this when I was inside the Disney Animation Studios in Buena Vista, Florida on a bulletin board. Nine frames was all it took. It's what they call a hidden Easter egg within the movie. Disney films with two frames for every movement, so technically it was 18 frames in less than one second. If you have access or ownership of one of the first VHS runs, it will be on there. Save it, because it is a collectors gem. Disney has since corrected this. It was in 1991 when I saw that Disney had caught this "Easter egg". BTW - I have handled or been in all those cars, trucks, and vehicles used in this movie. Some of them were even used in filming Dick Tracy. I love watching your reactions Amanda! 😀

I was 12 when this came out, and I loved it when I saw in the theater, obviously I didn't get some of the references.

Toontown looks like something out of a child's nightmare.

I think you're missing the point that adults were once children, and these were the cartoons that they watched when they were, so there's a lot of nostalgia for them. Besides, I was a kid when this came out, and people were less concerned about what their children watched, did, or felt back then as compared to now. At least my parents didn't give much of a shit, but when I watch younger people like yourself react to these things, you'd be surprised at how much we used to do as children, and how little parental supervision or care we had. We were left alone, and didn't even have a cartoon rabbit to watch us. We just had a TV, where we watched them, and that's the point. This movie was made for all those adults that had once been kids that were raised by a television. I thought the whole freeway bit was clever as a kid. Like just making fun of our current culture, at least in Los Angeles, but I really didn't get how clever it was until I got older, and learned the historical context. One of the things that makes Los Angeles so unique as a city is that it's so spread out over such a large area. Most cities in America, particularly older ones on the East coast, were built on a European model. Meaning that there was a downtown, or old town, and over time, the city grew outwards with the downtown being the center of the city. Los Angeles had originally been like that too, and there was a rail system for public transportation, and everything, just like in most cities, but after World War 2, automotive interests, like Firestone Tires who owned a huge factory here, bought up the rail system and ripped it out of the ground to force people to buy cars. Once people had cars and were mobile, we had lots of open space, so everything spread out all over the place. Downtown Los Angeles today, doesn't really hold any significance as the heart of the city. In my own lifetime, after this movie was made, the city of Los Angeles has spent probably billions of dollars rebuilding a metro system, but it's really not that effective. Compared to Europe, public transportation in America, outside a handful of cities, is pretty shitty in general, but it's particularly true in Los Angeles because everything is spread out so far, that the infrastructure needed to cover it all is just too much. In LA, you really do need to have a car to survive, and any real estate where the cars go, is worth an unbelievable amount of money.

They must have got permission from the WB to use cartoon characters. The hunter you mentioned was "Elmer Fudd". Adults were the target audience. Adults that watched this would have grown up with these cartoon characters. Great reactions to this unique live action and cartoon film, Amanda!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

I love how they hint the baddy was a toon from his very first appearance.

I saw this movie when I was 5, but I only remembered bits and pieces of it. I watched it again around 6 years later, and was so thankful that I couldn’t remember much of it from the first time because I pretty much had the same reaction as you.. Disturbed

We were a bit less sheltered back then. I saw this movie at the premier when I was 9. I saw Gremlins in theaters when I was 5. I even saw Robocop when it came out.

I think this is the best real world/animated movie of all time. But there are a few more like *(Cool World)* starring *Brad Pitt & Kim Basinger*

Me and my best friend Sold Out movie in the theaters when we were really young we got such a kick out of that movie who framed Rodger rabbit it was awesome

32:06 In the day, it was found one release of this movie, I think it was Laserdisc, had an inserted frame looking up Jessica's dress as she spins around. Animators had a habit if doing things like that - a single frame is impossible for the eye to catch, but it does register as peculiar to the brain. So people buy the movie to watch and figure it out. This was similar to the alleged "subliminal messaging" allegedly inserted in a number of movies and the supposed "backward masking" in hard rock albums.

They deliberately threw in some adult humor in order to definitely NOT make it for kids, as they didn't want it to be shrugged off as childish. This is also a satire of the Film Noir of the 1940's and '50's (like the Maltese Falcon), with a hard-boiled, hard-drinking detective and the fem fatale, a beautiful woman who may or may not be the villain. (By the way, Jessica is drawn with her hair falling over one eye, which was an identifying feature of Veronica Lake, one such fem fatale of the era.) What gets lost in the movie's commotion is the underlying story, the demise of the American trolley car systems. (Just type in "Roger Rabbit" and "trolleys" in KZread to see a lot of discussion, pros and cons.) Rail systems - including mass transit, i.e., trolleys - in this country have always been privately owned, unlike the nationalized trolleys in most other countries, and like all the other transportation systems here (like highways, canals, airports). Trolleys have to make a profit and pay taxes on their land holdings which go to subsidized the other systems. The biggest electrified rail system in the country was Pacific Electric in southern California, the "Red Cars." In the '30's and '40's, General Motors, Standard Oil, and Goodyear banded together to set up holding companies (i.e., "Cloverleaf") in cities and towns across the country, with the express purpose of buying up the local trolley system in order to put them out of business. Then as planned, people had to switch to using buses, or better yet, buy their own auto, which obviously benefited the three partners of this plan. This isn't some crazy conspiracy system - in the 1950's, they were convicted and fined, a total of $2,000, way too little, way too late. Part of this plan (as they wind up doing) was to run freeways through the hearts of cities, often bisecting marginalized neighborhoods, or creating a barrier between them and the prosperous downtown. People who could afford cars had a hard time finding parking downtown, so this led to the flight to suburbia, and the shopping malls and big box stores putting the downtown merchants out of business. Meanwhile, poor people who couldn't afford a car were left with remnants of the mass transit system. Included in the satire was the highly pejorative term for these remaining neighborhoods, "Coontown," (Toontown), where "those crazy people live."

The plot was initially conceived as being the last part of a Chinatown trilogy but it was never made. I also like when Maroon tells Valiant to show him the will he actually did but neither of them knew it was the will at the time.

Mama always wins... no shame in it,we all been there at some point;)

Just imagine me as my 11-year-old self watching this movie in the theaters

I watched it as a kid. At least around 10.

Yeah, the shoe getting "the dip" in Who Framed Roger Rabbit [holding hands] Artex dying in the Swamp of Sadness tough moments for kids watching these movies.

This is such a fun movie. Keep up the great uploads

They put you in another episode of Invincible

When I grew up in the 60s, cartoons had lots of violence in them. My favorite were the Road Runner cartoons. I don't think there were any scientific studies that were able to prove any harm. But some would still force their opinions on others through their legislators. Anyway, it is a fun and funny movie. Thanks for the reaction.

This movie is definitely not funny

The beautiful and charming Amanda graces us once again.

Someone probably said this already, but they made Jessica with impossible proportions on purpose so they couldn’t be accused of rotoscoping a real actress. They wanted everyone to know they weren’t messing around. Just real, authentic, animation of the highest quality possible. (Plus she’s a “toon” so… makes sense.)

Zemeckis, a legend. He also did the Back to the Future trilogy. Obviously Chris Lloyd was Doc in BttF and the Judge in WFRR. Zemeckis has other stuff that would be recognizable, but the BttF trilogy and WFRR are the all-time classics.

Also,she loved him. ^_^. Power of laughter

Mama will always have absolute authority in her house 😤🤙

This movie is 1988 it’s great

Here in Brazil characters have diferent names too. I never heard "Pato Lucas" before, here is "Patolino". Great vídeo. 😊
