The reason why dip kills toons is because when you combine turpentine, acetone and benzine, it makes a solution that animators would use to remove ink from animation cells.

@@NiceDudeMovieNight About Judge Doom... When he tells Eddie that he killed his brother, his eyes turn into daggers. There used to be a saying about dagger eyes -- "He looked at her with daggers when she got drunk and spoiled the party" -- meaning that he looked at someone with hate, as if wanting to kill them. But, the scene when Doom was bearing down on Eddie with the buzzsaw hand, you'll notice how Doom's eyes kinda went psychedelic and ended with a spiral pattern. That indicates being under a spell/hypnosis; Or having a severe mental illness/break. Doom was likely suffering from both. The eyes are the windows of the soul, after all. I agree with Never trying to remake or do a sequel to this movie. But, man, I'd love a comic book or short explanation of what happened to Doom to make him that way. Toons are chaotic, but that level of homicidal desire (murdering both humans And toons, wanting to wipe out Toontown and possibly all toons) must be some story

The moments where the toons interact with real-life objects was done with a combination of puppets (the weasels’ guns), animatronics (Herman’s cigar and Roger’s plates) and the occasional real-person stand in. When Jessica is playing with Acme and Eddie, they had a real performer doing Jessica’s movements, and the animators just painted ‘over’ her. The innovation of this film crew is downright inspiring.

Toons are definitely presented as second class citizens in this movie, but to say that they're like slaves is probably an overstatement. When Maroon says he got Dumbo on loan from Disney, that sort of thing was actually not unusual under the old system under which actors were contracted to specific studios and occasionally loaned out to competing studios. Who Framed Roger Rabbit definitely blew my mind as a kid. I never thought I'd see Disney and Warner Bros characters on screen together, let alone in a movie that had such adult subject matter. Of course, the combination of live action and animation was very groundbreaking for its time. For me, it was kinda like what seeing Star Wars might have been like for people a decade earlier.

@@UltimateGamerCC Keep in mind the movie is set in 1947, when the Studio System was still in full force. Actors who worked under contract with the big studios (who controlled the whole chain, from production to distribution) had their image and public appearance basically completely managed for them, up to and including plastic surgery and fake relationships with other stars for publicity. Their contracts had morality clauses that forbade them from doing anything that might ruin their image, like drinking or getting divorced. It's not a huge exaggeration to say they were basically owned by the studios, just like toons. This movie in general really does its homework on the time period. For example, the oven in the opening cartoon is branded "Hotternell" (hotter than hell). Which is exactly the sort of euphemism films used at the time to get past the censors, since it was the time of the Hays Code and even a mild profanity like "hell" was not allowed.

Bob trained so intently for interacting with imaginary beings that he actually began hallucinating toons. This lasted for months after filming wrapped. Another fun fact: the guy that did the lines for Roger did so from off stage while dressed in a full Roger Rabbit suit.

For those who don't know when he was asked if he could of gotten out of the cuffs at any time Roger says, "Oh no, not at any time. Only when it was funny" which is commonly true. It's a common rule that cartoon characters have the ability to do basically anything so long as it's considered funny. Without the correct timing or action for it to be funny their powers don't necessarily work. Also, when Judge Doom walks into the bar looking for Roger and one of the guys makes a joke about a bunny named Harvey that's a reference to a character in a 1950s movie called Harvey. It's about a kind man who has an invisible friend who is named Harvey, a 6ft tall white rabbit.

Another was that he was a toon once called Baron Von Rotten. And his thing was portraying bad guys in old cartoon films etc. Basically an actor like the other toons. However one day there was an accident and he hit his head or something and thought himself to be a real villain. After this he goes to rob the bank and kills the one brother and leaves Eddie alive. Another story I heard of are of some weasels or something that bring him back from the dead. He's a unique character. Very mysterious.

The amount of emotion from the single line "Get out of that chair!", resonates with me all these years later and only elevates the previous aforementioned scene that had no talking or exposition needed. You saw the good life he had and see what it taken away has done to this man. But then you hear that hurt and yeah it sticks with you imo.

The novel was titled Who Censored Roger Rabbit, and it was darker. In the original story, Roger was the murderer, out of jealousy.

For anyone wondering, the parts where you can see toons interact with the human characters, were done with animatronics that were covered up by the animated charas. It was shown in behind-the-scenes footage.

Fun fact about Jessica's jubblies! They're animated the opposite from how gravity should be effecting them (i.e they go up when they should be going down) on account that she's, y'know a toon!

A couple fun facts about this movie is that the "trolley cars" that you see in a couple of the early scenes were actually busses that had wood cut outs mounted onto them to make them appear like real Pacific Electric red cars. The crew from the movie paid a visit to the Southern California Railway Museum in Perris California where we have preserved and maintain numerous cars from the Pacific Electric Railway. They also recorded the sounds produced by our PE 717 which they then used in the movie so most of the trolley car sounds you hear came from PE 717. Pay a visit to the Southern California Railway Museum sometime and you can get a chance to take a ride on the 717 as it is one of several PE red cars in our collection that we run on weekends. We have other pieces of equipment that have made appearances in movies over the years. 'Singing in the Rain', 'Changeling', and many more. Some pieces of our collection were used prior to the museum getting them, PE 331,PE 332 used by MGM for Singing in the Rain. While others like our Ventura County Railway 2 steam locomotive and several of our passenger cars were rented from the SCRM for the movie Changeling that came out in 2008. Our museum has been the sight for filming movies, TV shows as well as a few music videos have been filmed using some of our equipment either onsite at the museum or off property.

There was a 90's cartoon show, "Bonkers", which is basically set in this world, with 'toons and humans working together. The title character is basically Roger Rabbit in another form, as the madcap partner of a straitlaced human cop. It's on Disney+ if you want a laugh!

This movie is PG, not PG-13, but I understand the misunderstanding. PG used to be the equivalent of what PG-13 is now. "Jaws", "Poltergeist", and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" are other examples of PG films. It used to push the limit to have just enough to not be rated R. PG-13 didn't exist until 1984.

@@paulmerviel1617 I'm aware of that. This was a few years after the rating was created. We'd still get some hard PG rated movies later on, but eventually PG films became G films will some jokes for adults that were not necessary. PG-13 became the new PG.

Fun fact to one trick the animators used to give Jessica Rabbit that cartoon sexiness was the animators when drawing her inverted what we know as jiggle physics, so when normally the curves of her body bounces as she moves they animated them going down when they would normally animated them moving up and vise versa.

This is based on a far darker book (Who Censored Roger Rabit), which far more clearly and sinisterly points to the RL plot to get monopoly of transport by the motor and petroleum industries. Hence Eddie's comment about them having the best transport system while on the tram.

Fun fact. Ralph Bakshi was inspired by this and possibly took influence from Doom's character to make an adult oriented horror movie with the plot of an illegitimate child of a Human father and Toon mother who hated herself to a point she tries to kill her father, who ran off, and possibly anyone in her way. But Executives had the poor bastard rewrite the ENTIRETY of the film, and we got Cool World. Although, with learning Blender, the 3D software, I want to make a short film that gives that idea the recognition it deserves. If anyone in the comments knows who to contact, please help this dream be a reality.

if you guys look into this a little, this film was made by disney and they wanted to use warner borthers characters. so disney made a deal with warner brothers that they can use their characters but they have to have the exact same screen time which is why you see daffy and donald together as well as mickey and bugs together.
