As a kid this really bugged me! Here was this innocent shoe being murdered in cold paint, surrounded by unsympathetic cops, Eddie and maybe one other guy seem to even care... not enough to protest, or ask why he's murdering a civilian. I know they've got to set up that this 'dip' stuff works, that's simple writing 101, and with a name like 'Judge Doom' I don't think the audience was ever *_not_* supposed to realize he was the bad guy (though that turned out to be so they could hide much more interesting spoilers, such as being a toon himself, in plain sight, and we never saw it coming). So in this otherwise perfectly written movie, there was this plot hole that nobody cared when toons died, and the literal genocide that he's planning at the end of the movie was being treated as paving over a park. Anyhow, a few years later, that whole _Rodney King_ thing happened, and TL;DR I found out that it wasn't a mistake, it was political commentary that *All Cops Are Bastards* (though not that exact slogan yet... it was basically Ferguson before Ferguson), and it was all an allegory for racism. How did I not recognize it at the Ink & Paint Club? Well, I had my suspicions, but segregation and murder are... _different._ Segregation was the kind of racism that became popular after slavery and murdering your slaves was no longer legal. I had no idea cops were doing this shit, because I was a kid, and I was white. For years, no decades, everyone who talked about it said it was his own fault for "getting back up again" ... and... the whole thing? What about the initial beating... sorry, old tangent... shoe murder=bad. I always wonder what happed to the sibling or lover (hopefully not both) who was the other shoe?

The book also never addresses the rather terrifying fact that doppelgangers are to all practical effect living breathing self-aware beings that are being brought into the world only to suffer horrible harm and mutilations for the purpose of entertainment. It's also a bit of a plot hole, because Roger's doppel had no realistic motivation to just keep acting like Roger, fully knowing he's actually a clone with very short lifespan... after all, if his entire leftover motivation was clearing Jessica's name, the most logical thing to do was just walk over to the cops and take the blame himself, not pointlessly play detective in a case where he knew half of the solution the entire time. :)

+The Dom A few not mentioned differences(not directed at you, just the comments) 1. The film features cartoon characters from multiple companies including Disney and Warner bros making cameo appearances, something which makes the film fondly remembered for scenes such as Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny appearing together.the Book features only minor cameos from comic strip characters such as Snoopy, Dick tracy etc, nowhere near the number roof cameos in the film, 2. In the film, Toons can only be killed by an acid like fluid called "the Dip" invented by Judge Doom. It is widely believed in that world that you cannot kill a toon(though a few weasels die laughing, they appear as ghosts and seem to be able to return to their bodies, even so the most likely still exist just as ghosts). In the book, this is obviously not the case as a bullet kills Roger. 3.Who P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit is a book written by the book's author but with the movie characters. While it tells its own story(I think centering on Baby Herman's murder) there is a chapter that retcons the original book into a dream Jessica Rabbit had.

let's face it, from the sound of things the Toons in the book had weird traits but overall weren't too different from people (and the doppel thing is just...random, mroe so than he fucking murderous genie) while the film went WHOLE HOG with the toons, using the visual meium to give them what is most associated with cartoon chah chracters (bizarre bodies that functioned differently from humans, nigh immortality and invulnerability, far more variation in appearances etc). also, the villain is way better set up and portrayed (seeing as he isn't relegated to just appearing at the end). also Jessica and Roger's relationship is far more positive in the film and gives them more depth comapred to the book just making them kinda dickish (and this aspect is played wiht in the fi;m too, where Jessica being suspected of being how she is in the book adds to the mystery element)

I think I am just going to stick with the movie. It probably works in the movies favor that I have loved it ever since I was a kid and the characters are a lot more likable and charming. One thing that the movie changes definitely for the better was the relationship between Roger and Jessica. The movie made them this odd couple that has the characters constantly wonder why they are together and throughout the events of the movie both the characters and the audience grow to realize that both Roger and Jessica really do love each other very much. They were also so cute together that it could make you forget that he was a giant anthropomorphic goofy rabbit and she was a very attractive and sexy human woman, in fact another reason why their marriage worked so well in the movie was that Roger was probably the only male character that didn’t sexually objectify Jessica even once in the movie. Now to find out that in the book it was all based on a lie caused by Roger unknowingly wishing for her to be his wife is just genuinely sad. Also in the movie Eddie and Roger becoming friends through the events of the story was another highlight of the movie, so you can guess that finding out that Roger just picked out Eddie to throw all the blame on Eddie didn’t sit well with me either. So the book has a good concept, but the movie took the concept and gave it a much better execution.

Huh, I always thought, even as a teen, that the film was implying a certain degree of racism with the toons not having rights to their own property and being treated as disposable. On that subject, I'm not sure I would consider even the film, both as far as the themes and the sexuality expressed, being appropriate for a "young audience". Teenagers, sure, but not younger. Interesting analysis of the book. Thinking though: given that Roger didn''t really know what was going on, in a manner of speaking wouldn't it be the genie that was raping Jessica by proxy. He was the one who was responsible for her being forced into a sexual relationship with an unknowing dupe, so the real responsibility for the assault lies with him.
@annana6098
4 жыл бұрын
I hate these contrived situations where they bend all the rules so it's "technically not rape," or the rape is somehow "ok-ish", but I can't say I consider Roger a rapist: he didn't know and had no way of knowing, unless there's more information in the book. He made an idle wish to have a long-term relationship with her, with no idea that it was going to be fulfilled magically, let alone that she would be forced against her will. It's a fiction-only mind-control excuse that lets him be innocent because the author wanted it that way. Jessica is certainly a rape victim, but all the blame is on the genie. It's still disturbing, and no one can make me like it. I'll take the loving relationship in the movie, and skip the book entirely.
