The character played by Christopher Lloyd is the only fictional character who ever gave me nightmares when I was a kid. It's those eyes and that face. It messed me up. I had repeated dreams that he was my dentist. In my dreams, he strapped me down to a dentist chair and drilled into my spine with a giant drill.

Betty Boop was played by Mae Questel in the 1930s, and they actually got her back for this movie.

The guy in the bar, who said he saw a rabbit and then hugged an invisible figure to introduce "Harvey" is referencing an old Jimmy Stewart movie about an invisible rabbit named Harvey

Eddie Murphy was originally offered to play Eddie Valient but he turned it down. He said it's the role he regretted not doing.

The "dip" is an acetone based compound used in the film(animators) industry to clean or destroy old film.

Just started the video, but already bracing for the awkwardness between father and son when Jessica Rabbit appears. 😂

One of the biggest injustices in the world is the amount of people who assumed Who Framed Roger Rabbit? a kids movie. It absolutely is not, and it's nearly a parody of Chinatown, starring Jack Nicholson. A lot of people slept on this film because they assumed it wasn't for adults.

Disney & warner Bros. only agreed to using their characters if they got equal screentime. So you may have noticed that the main ones appear together (Bugs & Mickey, Donald & Daffy, etc.)

Back in the '30s and '40s, the cartoon studios were fierce competitors. Walt Disney started making cartoons for Universal Studios. His hit character Oswald the Rabbit, was taken away from him so he started his own studio. Fleisher Studios, MGM, Universal, Warner Brothers and Walt Disney Studios were the big cartoon studios and Who Framed Roger Rabbit is, and will probably always be, the only movie where the characters from the different studios appear together.

"shave and a haircut " is a rhythmic line requiring a response. The pattern is used when knocking on a door. The response is "two bits". Two bits is a slang expression used in the 1940's. Two bits is 25 cents. Two bits is an obsolete division of a dollar into eight bits.

"I assume it's a children's film..."

😂 "he just killed a sentient shoe!" is one those sentences you would never think you'd have to say out loud!

Every cartoon character was actually hand drawn in this movie. No cgi so you could imagine how tough it was to make this movie and everything had to be precise to make it work. But this is one of my childhood favorites to watch. Great reaction guys! Keep it up.

The "making of" stuff on this is bananas.

The plot of this movie is based on a true story. Los Angeles did have a great public transportation system but back in the late 40s, the automobile companies bought up the stock in the Red Cars. They dismantled it which forced everyone to buy cars. It was discovered until decades later. The people responsible had since died so there was no one to punish. Happily, since then, the trolley system has been restored and people without cars can get around.

When the guy at the bar tells the judge say hello to Harvey, that's a reference to an old Jimmy Stewart movie called Harvey. Everybody thinks he's crazy because he sees a 6 foot tall rabbit that nobody else sees.

You cant find even a quarter of the passion and production thats involved in this movie in modern films. This is a true classic ❤

I saw this in theatres. I remember all the talk being about how advanced the cartoon work was (like the toons reflecting in the black and white tile floor or in windows). There is a making of that is fun to watch to see how they melded the interactions so well. Look at how interactive it is compared to Mary Poppins.

The Back to The Future films should definitely be on you guys' watch list.

For a deeper meaning the toons are a metaphor for black entertainers during that time in America. They were looked at as second class citizens. Maroon says that the Ink &Paint club is strictly humans only. This is similar to the Cotton Club where the entertainers were black but the club was whites only.
