He left out the fact that Roger in the books is described as being six feet tall, cartoon or not a huge anthropomorphic bunny is creepy as hell.
Gabriella Drozdzowski - I tried to imagine it just now and got the bit of the chills. I don't know why considering it'd be a cartoon but that's terrifying as hell.
I know, right?
Donnie darko i see.
He was also dark brown with a white nose, his movie design was inspired by several other characters, including Mickey Mouse.
Seems to me like Roger Rabbit is very much based on Buggs Bunny, seems about the same size as his 'human' costars like Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam, and would have no problem whatsoever doing anything book!Roger does.
I bought the book after seeing this. I went to Ebay, got a hardback with the lowest price possible from the first printing year to make sure it was the original. I was expecting a worn, well read hardback as it only said "used, good condition." I ended up with a pristine, never opened First edition signed by the author.
Well, then.
Wow
Lucky
Hey. That’s pretty good.
Damn.👍
Good for you, but that makes me sad, frankly. I still remember when signed firsts would bring big bucks. * sigh *
@@Serai3 I feel like they didn't know it was a signed first and just listed it as a heavily used First edition. It was a big thrift store shop.
Since its established that genies exist in the book world, could it be possible that someone at some point made a wish for cartoons to be real, but the monkey paw twist thing would be that they will always be treated like second class citizens?
How would that come from a monkeys paw twist? The monkey paw is just when the paw takes it so literal you have to know what you want otherwise it'll turn on you
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 I mean, lets face it if cartoons suddenly became real in that time period it would probably end up with them being second class citizens. You would need to clarify for equality.
Glitch_FACE fair enough I suppose
That was my instant thought. The idea of a genie being real is significantly less far fetched than humans and cartoons living side by side. Since both exists I very much think it makes sense for the former caused the latter.
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 To be fair, the ol' monkey's paw concept has kind of been muddled to mean both a literal wish, and being a cautionary tale about trying to wish your problems away. So, it's understandable that it's sometimes confused which is the right definition.
Also, that would actually make sense, though part of me wonders if said genie is the one Valiant killed during the climax of the book.
Wow, even the author loved the movie more then the book
That's so rare.. When i finish my book i hope that happens to me. I'm a terrible author so id love my ideas to get some justice
What's your book about Thomas
I don't think he loved it better, he just thought it was adorable.
@@Visplight agreed.
Even the writer of “Fight Club” likes the David Fincher film more than his book
Actually, now I think about the film...a human being owns all the homes that Toons live in, which would imply none of them have rights of their own...they were going to bulldoze the property, which would either mean death or forced relocation for the Toons, probably death considering Judge Doom had The Dip...so the villains plan in the film was to quietly commit an act of genocide against an entire race of people simply for existing because they stand in the way of his ability to pursue his own greed...and the claim is this film IGNORED the racism parallels?
You mean the villans...by which i assume you mean the cartoon weasel gang....and the judge who is a toon
Other racism parallels: Paying Toons a miniscule wage because they're Toons (Dumbo is said to work for literal peanuts), Roger standing on a soap box when talking to Valiant about the struggle for Toons, and the club Jessica works at having Toon waiters and performers but exclusively human patrons.
@@Felodontis For someone who is not American, why "Roger standing on a soapbox " is considered a racist parallel?
@@HIPOCRUPTUS en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soapbox
The soapbox is not itself racist, but it's like he's making an impassioned, impromptu "I Have a Dream" type speech. The soapbox is a metaphor.
@Morbius: Couldn't the toons move to NYC and work for Famous Studios?
I thought the racism parallels were obvious as soon as I saw black tie wearing penguins serving humans in a club, with other cartoons performing silly songs. It's just like the look of black workers and serveants during slavery and also during bits of the Jim Crow era. A hyper segregated workforce performing all the minial tasks for the largely richer non-iron audience, with the stage performers the equivalent of exotic dancers or jazz musicians, and object thar both causes joy, but only in the sense that they can mock and humilated them for their 'oriental' or 'backwards' beliefs.
"It did a much better job of fleshing the characters out into something a little more three-dimensional."
_HAH_, I get it!
The scene when the judge kills the shoe scared the shit out me as a child. To this day, I still feel like crying when I think about that poor shoe.
I got no desire to revisit this movie as an adult because of how fucked up that scene is
It was the guy being squashed by the roller and then turning out to be a toon (effectively back from the dead) that really scared and scarred me as a kid.
@@imasinnerimasaint God, same. The crazy eyes, the melting. It’s so messed up. xD
Judge Doom himself is pretty bad too.
"Remember me, Eddie? When I killed your brother, I talked _JUST LIKE _*_THIIIIISSSSS_* !!!!!"
...You're welcome.
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?
I think in the sequel, that it turns out that the events in Who Censored Roger Rabbit was just a nightmare suffered by Jessica. It was Gary K.Wolf's way of wiping the slate clean.
"it was all just a dream" is a copout i normally despise but, in a cartoons are real universe i can see some of them having some pretty novella like dreams.
Gonna wonder what Jessica was reading the night before that inspired that one though...
@@prcervi Or watched, but could be some kind of real horror flick
@@prcervi I admit, it is really cliche, but considering how much more beloved the movie is compared to the book, I believe it's passable, since it's basically accepting a new canon.
@@JennyBlaze253 i won't call cliche an awful thing, but the effort has to go in to make it work
in a "cartoons are real people" universe the "it was all a dream" copout isn't out of place feeling, i'm just left wondering what jessica read/watched/whatever that made a novella length film noir of a dream
@@prcervi Fair. I'm mainly just saying I cant think of any other time when the "it's all a dream" plot twist actually made something better.
The accidental magical pseudo rape is made worse by the fact that Jessica wanted to leave but couldn't. I just assumed she was in love with him for a year and all of a sudden realized she wasn't. But knowing she realized something was up makes it so much worse. Also, I don't even think Roger apologizes for planning to frame Eddie. That's the least his dopple could do before poofing out of existence.
This video is what made me decide I had to read the book by the way. So thanks!
Yeah, if Jessica had thought she'd fallen in love with Roger and then left writing it off as a one year fling it would be WAY less creepy. I don't blame Roger's character any though because he didn't actually ask the genie to make her love him and is caught off guard when he finds out she only stayed because magic.
Same.
Yeah, pretty much all his doppelganger said to Eddie before discorporating was, "Yeah, you got me." The end of that book felt like a gut punch.
Ugh, it's so twisted.
So before the end where Rodger admits to trying to frame Eddy I would have believed that if he had truly known Jessica wasn’t with him of her own free will he would have stopped, but after the ending I’m not so sure. Anyone who can frame an innocent stranger for this kind of crime would have few problems with keeping a woman who was drugged as his wife
This actually brings up a good point another film critic mentioned - that adaptations would be best made not on the best selling books (and therefore ruining them) but rather on lesser known or mediocre books (and thus improving upon them).
I knew the film was based on a book that had a bunch of segregation parallels, but I had no clue it got that dark.
Surprisingly Blank I thought the film was pretty dark too. But probably less mean-spirited.
Jenifer Joseph True, Four deaths (three on screen) even if you don't count the comedically toned weasel ones. Torture. Blackmail. Infidelity. Talk of a baby shaped toon not able to properly have sex.
Now that I think about it, it was pretty raunchy too.
Surprisingly Blank Apparently, Baby Herman's line "The problem is I've got a fifty-year-old lust, and a three-year-old dinky," is the only line in the movie that actually was taken straight from the book.
+Jenifer Joseph Now that you mention it, you're right. I think the film was a bit dark but nowhere near as dark as the original book. Still, the dark moments in the film adds more depth to it.
+Surprisingly Blank It really was!!! I didn't notice as a child but now, I'm kind of surprised by the many sexual innuendos in the film along with the dark themes like murder, torture, blackmail, and death of loved ones.
Note to self~ When The Dom says you don't want to know, YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
I won't lie, the book cover kinda creeps me out
Rabid Romantic same, as if rabbits weren’t already scary enough on their own
As a person writing his first novel, I want to thank you for these videos. They have taught me a lot about narration, tone, characterization, and story in both literature and film. I thoroughly enjoyed this one as it is a novel that no one ever talks about or knows exists.
what's it about? hope it's going to sell like hot cakes
Same.
@Aline TV i was about to ask the same thing
Oh what's it called? And where can i get a copy?
Tell us you monster
I watched the first forty seconds of this review a year ago, cursed myself for my curiosity, and refused to watch the rest until I'd read the book. It took ages (as none of the public libraries in my home state had it), but I finally found and finished it. Review time!
Man, who would have guessed that the movie was based on such heavy source material. The movie ended up brilliant though. I'm happy that they were able to adapt it even if it is "In Name Only."
My favorite bit of editing: when you put Roger's head over Norma Desmond during the shooting scene of Sunset Blvd.
I dig your icon! Are you a fan of Peter Kuper?
Actually, Who Censored is a parody of 40's potboilers like Mike Hammer or Sam Spade.
9:36 Considering that Book!Jessica can create duplicates of herself, does that mean that some of the, ah, artwork of Jessica "interacting" with her clone are book accurate as well?
Undoubtedly
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. :)
Often times I think authors get a little too critical about their book adaptations (looking at you Roald Dahl); movies are a different medium and things just have to be changed for that. So in this case it's really refreshing to see an author just genuinely enjoy the adaptation for what it is, more so than his own book.
The book had a great premise, but was poorly done. The movie took the awesome premise and ran home with it.
that is exactly why/how you make an adaptation
How was it poorly done?
I'm wondering aswel, I haven't gotten around to reading the novel. Why was it excecuted poorly?
TheHarlequinHatter I agree, the movie is great and I loved watching it when I was younger. The book plot doesn’t sound that good.
@@JD-od6jh seems more like ppl just not wanting to taint their memory of the movie version characters. Which is fine i guess, but that's no reason to claim the book was bad. Granted i never read it, just found out it existed today through this video
Ha. Oh poor little The Dom. So naive at this point. Of course no one realized what a piece of crap Suicide Squid was going to be.
it was ...over-hyped
The character designs looked really bad from when they were first announced. Lots of people realized it wasn't going to be good.
Great soundtrack tho lol
@@Talisguy Sounds like that one Spongebob creepypasta
I really love both the movie and the book. I love shocking people with the fact that Roger's dead for a majority of the novel. Also, why didn't you mention Roger's doppel attending real Roger's funeral? It's kinda sad.
Please, count me in the "Surprise to hear there was a book" people, too o______o!!!
Me too
Me three
Not that surprising since most of Disney's movies are adaptations of books.
I want to hear the epic poem about assembly line robots!
... me too.
Me too
"It was Tuesday"
We did the same thing we do every Tuesday: Try to take over the world.
BagOfMagicFood Narf!
Critic Level too low for this meme.
+BagOfMagicFood Taco Tuesday >:U
Only once a week? I know a couple of Mice who would be contemptuous of your sloth!
I mean yeah I would hate movie-Roger crumbling to dust just like that, but actually I have no qualms about it happening to *Bastard* Book-Roger
I love these! You should do Mary Poppins, especially considering there was a lot of controversy involved in its creation.
Like, if you noticed at 7:52 that a speech bubble, containing the words "You got me everything, Jessica, my contract"
Just something I noticed from the the Dom, it's sort of a clue that Roger had someone doing his bidding.
I assume that's from the book.
You forgot to mention that the Degreases bros was original toons who wish to be humans.
They "crossed the line", which is why Little Rock is human.
I haven't read the book but listening to reviews and comparison videos I think who frame Roger rabbit may be the best adaptation there's ever been. Rather than trying to emulate the book perfectly it took the characters and concepts and made them a lot better to appoint that even the original author liked it more. That's very impressive
I actually want to see that poem about 2 assembly line robots falling in love now...
I just wanted to say. I saw your channel for the first time this morning after a friend compared my talking about books vs movies to you last night. I have since watched every lost in adaptation video you've posted. You have 1 more fan good sir. I don't want to go full nerd-gasm in your comments but please keep doing what you're doing. I await with bated breath for your next video
thatsameoldsong Sweet. First recorded case of word of mouth happening ^_^
The Dom I found you yesterday. RUclips is actually giving good suggestions again.
The Dom I got my husband watching you. started him with your 50 Shades rant
I know this video came out a while ago but did anyone else think. "Mr. Valiant I don't feel so good." When the dom said he crumbles at the end?
The book sounds really cool but I understand why everyone including the author preferes the movie.
The movie positive and fun tone is a much better fit for the subject of Toons and the real world interacting together.
and the film had some noir and creep to it as well. It didn't stray too far to one side or the other.
Maybe one day I’ll give the book a shot as it sounds pretty interesting, but the movie is such a classic. It shows that a retooled story can prove even better than the source material; and when the author even likes it better, that’s quite the seal of approval
I've actually read the book and seen the film. And i agree with you i prefer the film. The film had more of a charm to it. The book just seemed very formulaic with a weird as hell plot twist.
Devon Cook About how long was the book?
Surprisingly Blank According to Wikipedia, it's about 214 pages.
Surprisingly Blank yea i think it was around 215 pages or something like that
Devon Cook the plot twist wirh judge doom was forshadowed by his cape always blowing with no wind.
one of the few "movie of the same name" adaptations where the movie was better in just about every way. Not to say the original wasn't interesting. It's just the movie was so great
I'm glad you want to bring back the Nostalgia Critic's "of course!" running gag.
"I looked up at the sky. It was one of those rare days when the Earth revolves a little faster and shoos away the smog. You could see a long way, but not half as far as Roger had gone."
This was another rare instance where I read the book that inspired a beloved movie after seeing said movie, and was actually able to enjoy the book on its own merit. I've purchased the sequels but still need to read them
Holy shit... Wow... Just wow...
Hey! Are you ever going to do Coraline? Please do!
Lenore T Took the words right out of my mouth.
+Gola245 With Coraline, there really wasn't a good reason to set the story in England as the movie was being made for American audiences. Obviously they could have to make it closer to the book, but then they would also have to change it to an all-English cast to get the accents right and that could be a turn off for American viewers (maybe). Plus it was the studio's first major film so they may have been playing it safe by playing up to the viewers. It also could be that they didn't care, as the setting is almost nonexistent outside of the mention of them moving.
Boxtrolls is a little different however. Generally when people think of the Victorian era they think of England, so obviously a film set during that time period would feel more natural in an English setting. They didn't change it because I felt more natural that way.
Of course I could be wrong, but this is just how I see it. I would also like The Dom to do a review of Coraline or Boxtrolls.
+Lenore T Yep! He just did!
+Gola245 Because if there's one thing more difficult than finding a voice actress to play a child that fits both the emotional and physical descriptions of the book and cartoon respectively who is currently available and not too expensive, its finding a voice actress to play a child that fits both the emotional and physical descriptions of the book and cartoon respectively who is currently available and not too expensive...and has a British accent. :P
He did, but it's gone!
Mr. Valliant. I dont feel so good
Oh wow, Thanks Dom!
11:48 FOR A YUR!!!
This makes me REALLY want to read the book.
0:49 It's the first time you added "Surprised to hear there was a book".
I love this movie it gave me the greatest crossover ever Daffy Duck and Donald Duck on stage together in perfect chaos.
I've always wanted to read the book to see the differences was compared to the film, but after seeing this review I'm kinda glad that I didn't. The book is indeed too dark for my liking anyways.
well I love dark stories and so I favor the book more than the film
Same.
I read it and I hated it, and I'm somebody who likes dark stories. It had a good idea but it was done so poorly compared to the movie. Even the author liked the movie better than his own original story.
Read the book. It isn't that dark. Dom apparently can't recognize a potboiler homage/parody.
@@keyofallworlds7549 Actually, no. Gary Wolf loved the book. But he loves money more and wrote two sequels based on the film to get $$$.
The djinn story is actually good , I will definitely read it . I’ll take it as 2 stories with characters that have the same name .
I remember the movie, that bad guy that was steamrolled...yeah no he petrified me to no end. Him being steamrolled freaked me out, and then everything after just made him even scarier to me as a kid.
Make that number who didn't know there was a book 12, Dom. What the actual fuck???WOH!
I do want to hear about two assembly line robots that fall in love. Very much so.
"The trailer for Suicide Squad looks pretty good." Oh you poor, sweet, summer child.
The amount of times I simply said "What?!" as this went on was ridiculous
Wait, wait, wait, wait. 0:14 I wanna hear this poem!
Ross Pit: Shark Hunter Me too
The book sounds AWESOME!!!
What do you expect? It's a great noire detective story.
yeah, except for the genie story. that's way too much of a bunny (heh) out of a hat for my taste. seems really forced for some reason, the guy could have come up with a million other ways of resolving this
yarpen26 in the book itself, the twist isn't so out of nowhere. the kettle was seriously hunted down by myth enthusiastic producer and Jessica. the buildup works great
.wow... well that was... O_o'
This is a rare case where I prefer the movie over the book!
I doubt the rabbit who was willing to frame a random, unrelated guy for a murder has anything in common with the excitable noodle brain from the film...
Wow... Just WOW..... I never knew that the original was so much darker!
This is one of the most original and action pact stories I've ever heard
I really want to adapt the book faithfully
Ethan Winstead then why don’t you?
This is one of the few times the movie is superior to the book. The others being Forrest Gump, The Woman In Black (modern movie version), and The Princess Bride.
+Jami JoAnne Russell Jaws is a clear winner. The book is unendurably bad. On a lesser scale, I'd say "The Silence of The Lambs" - the two are VERY similar but the film trims a bit of unnecessary plot fat.
+wratched
Oh man, but the Silence of the Lambs book was _nothing_ compared to the random side plots of "Hannibal". I didn't think the movie adaptation of it was very good (though I thought the parts in Florence weren't bad) but at least it didn't have the sub plot of Barney (the orderly) falling in love / lust with Mason Verger's _extremely_ butch lesbian sister. That was such a bizarre addition to an already unexpectedly off-the-wall story.
To me one of the most insulting things about Hannibal is the unspoken suggestion that Mason molested his sister and "made" her a lesbian. You're either born gay or not, you can't be made to be gay. Why do writers always go to the "Well, this character is gay cause someone raped them" crap?
*****
I'd forgotten about that - it's been a few years, though I wouldn't doubt it. SO MUCH about that character made me uncomfortable. If I remember correctly, didn't she take Mason's semen after he was dead or while he was dying?
That book was the _worst_ Hannibal Lecter book in my opinion. I don't know what Thomas Harris was thinking.
Most writers nowadays don't go with the "person is gay because they were raped" thing, but I've seen it more with older stories by straight people who I'm guessing _really_ didn't understand homosexuality.
Yes. There's something in their parents' will that said only those who were blood related to inherent their money, so Mason kept her on a leash by always promising his sperm so her girlfriend could get pregnant, but never gives it. Hannibal informs her that if she uses an electric cattle prod on his prostate she could get his semen without his cooperation.
I guess in some cases I read too many old books. Cause I see that a lot. Oh, there was that Stephen King novel, Insomnia, in which one of the side characters, a woman with an abusive husband, starts wearing a pink triangle pin not long after her abusive husband's death....
The shoe in the movie to this day can make me cry. I am 30.
I love the "Do Right" song. Im mad i had no idea it was Kathleen Turner that voiced Jessica. Which is embarassing cuz i love kathleen turner
chanel henderson I had to look up the name cause it sounded very familiar! Then I found out she was on Friends, and I now have her voice stuck in my head
Maybe Tim Burton can make a novel version film rated R.
I rather he didn't. I guess I wouldn't be against it actually, but I wouldn't watch it .
Joe Lin - I'd watch it! :D
Can we stop letting Tim Burton ruin things? And I say this as someone who has Ed Wood and Big Fish on her favorite movies list. His work for more than a decade has been a glut of terrible adaptations (I'm still mad about Sweeney Todd)
Burton doesn't really make many R rated films though. Tim Miller would be a good fit or David Fincher.
Nicest comment section I have ever seen
Jenifer Joseph Yeah my fans are pretty awesome ^_^
The Dom :D
ThePreciseClimber I sure hope so! I like niceness! :)
Thanks so much for doing this one Dom, it was so informative. I still want to one day read the book and maybe the other two as well. i'm surprised you didn't mention the licensed characters in the book.
Hey, you're getting better! Last time Bison didn't even show up.
Great review. The book sounds like a definite must-read for noir fans.
I dunno, the part where the shoes get melted alive was pretty scary for young me.
I'm totally going to read this now!
I think this is one book based on a film I'll never have any curiosity in reading
Was not prepared for that princess bride book spoiler! 😂
The day you do get your first honest to goodness "OF COURSE!" is going to be epic.
I've been listening to the first audiobook and I'm hooked!! Can't wait to listen to the next one!!!
Here is an idea The last unicorn film and book.
Al Hoyt He has it on the list
Jenifer Joseph Where do I see this list?
Jenifer Joseph Theres a link on the future of The Dom reviews/LIA never list video. The to do list is in desperate need of updating tbh....
Okay, that works for me.
The Dom Could you please add The Black Cauldron and/or The Golden Compass to your to do list? I didn't see them on there. Btw love your work.
I read the book shortly after it came out (the book). I didn't see the movie at first because I *hated* the book -- it was freakin' AWFUL. But man, I'm glad that my friends dragged me to the theater.
The movie is SOOOOOO much better than the book. And that's not something that gets said very often.
I owned the book (used) for a year but hadn't read it when the movie came out. I then remembered it was in my collection and finally read it.
It fulfilled what someone said about adaptations. They buy a book for the title, hire someone to write an entirely new story and then change the title.
Wonder what it'd be like if they made another movie but R rated or something and faithful to the book
RIP Bob Hoskins
"For a yuuuuuh."
This book was just an absolute blast for the filmmakers to adapt! You can tell that there's fun and passion poured into every aspect of the film but especially in the animation! If you watch Disney+'s Prop Master, I believe, they interview some of the cast and creators and you can still see the love they all still hold for the film and all the stories they had backstage!
As an American, I find your pronunciation of year phenomenally hilarious.
Hey, just wanted to say that I love your videos! My friend and I were discussing film adaptations and she recommended your channel. Since then, I've watched most of your videos. Keep up the good work!
2:54-2:56 - "Thou hath been warned." I believe that Early Modern English/archaic English grammatical construction is incorrect for its age. I believe the correct construction is *this* construction; "Thou hast been warned.".
This was great. Love this series!
YES!!! I'm so excited for this one, I've always loved this movie and ever since I heard it was based on a book I've been curious but I've also been to scared to read it.
Great ep.
Keep up the good work.
So I started this episode a year ago and stopped to read the book and then didn't get around to it for a while and just finished it a minute ago and HOLY COW AM I GLAD I WAITED
This is a fantastic review and an insightful analysis of a wonderful film, and an intriguing book, definitely keep up the good work.
Fun Fact: Originally Disney was planning to make an adaptation that was a lot closer to the book (there's actually existing test footage that shows that they were), but the film was given to Spielberg and the plot was overhauled
Well..........that was convoluted
I am also surprised there was a book before this film. (It's a great film, but that red-eyed stare from Lloyd's Judge Doom STILL unnerves me to this day.
Move over King Rameses, (from Courage the Cowardly Dog), THIS guy takes the spot of freaky things from your childhood.
Besides, I kinda like how the show creators did that with Rameses but this is just freaky.
Thanks for doing this one didn't realize it was a book and I'm a big fan of noirs and pulpy detective stories
Who Plugged Roger Rabbit is kind of a sequel to the movie. It does mention events that happen in the movie but there are a few differences that are more closer to the book.
Seeing how you reacted to this, how about covering Pinocchio in the future? The film had some dark elements... but the book...
Wasn't Roger's appearance also completely different in the original book? I remember something about him being brown instead of white, at least.
Not only did I enjoy both versions thoroughly, but congratulations on your review !
Someone make a rated r movie about the book completely
I really enjoyed the book, I like how it is much darker then the film. However, I didn't like the whole genie plot twist.
I think the film also has a leg up because of its visuals as well as the story not being so disturbing.
NO NO NO DOM!! Its like this. OF COURSE!!
Breakfast at Tiffany's as a suggestion? Maybe not your usual subject matter. Hitchhikers Guide? The Beach?
Hello the Dom, I have recently find your channel to be refreshing entertaining.
