Well with today the fast moving (The Weak Pea brain disease people) put it out there I don't think much from the older days will really come back 90s kid my self I saw it later on
My grandma took me to see this when it came out. I was 8, and 35 years later, it's still one of the greatest movies ever. Never gets old, even if we do. Who doesn't love ToonTown?
My mother took me to see this for my 8th birthday. She changed her mind at the last minute and we saw The Great Outdoors. I still haven't gotten over it.
One of the greatest movies ever made. It's easy to forget that most scenes feature one actor speaking to himself. Technically brilliant and the mix of 40s noir and classic toons is inspired.
That's what actors have to do these days when CGI will be inserted later in post-production. I'm sure it adds a whole other level of difficulty to film production.
Best behind the scenes bit I saw was Eddie washing the socks. Roger is hiding under the water. When he emerges and spews water was accomplished with a water tube and popup function.
Unfortunately Bob Hoskins suffered major mental troubles during and after playing this role. According to his IMDb page, and I quote from that page.... "British actor Bob Hoskins was driven to the brink of insanity by his role in 1988 movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit - he spent months suffering hallucinations of cartoon characters from the film. The movie combined animation with real-life action and saw Hoskins acting alongside imaginary co-stars, who were added in later in the production process. Hoskins, 67, admits spending eight months talking to a cartoon character affected his mental health - and he began seeing characters from the film long after shooting finished."
@@michaeljohn9263 Eight month's? Hell, I walked out of the cinema and could almost see toons passing me on the footpath! Perhaps the lead up to getting to the movie had something to do with it. I decided to go that summer evening to see the movie. None of my flatmates were interested. Walking to the cinema reminded me of 8 years earlier going to the cinema when I was in the navy. (Except I was at the other end of the country now) Then a long flat deck truck drove by and a guy waved out to me. It was an ex-navy mate! An electrician who now worked on movie sets setting up all the remote generators and cabling (hence the truck). That was very 'surreal', so put my mind in a time-warp before that movie and then for rest of the evening 🤪🐰
As a child, this movie was incredible. The judge terrified me, the weasels made me fearful, and seeing Betty Boop made me smile. Still love ve this movie and get excited to it.
Agreed. Imagine if they had made a sequel with the other characters Minty mentioned as possibilities for the first movie. Imagine Popeye and Superman flexing to see which one was stronger for example; could well have happened if this had become a franchise. It would have been the ultimate cartoon crossover universe. Oh, the lost opportunities...😁
@@KraigFang Yeah, not once but several times. Even if it fooled me being a gullible old fart, I don't have an iphone and so cannot text messages because i"m a frugal old fart too.
I loved this movie so much as a child that I did Roger Rabbit as an art project in the 4th grade. I had my older sister draw him and I glued on colored pieces. Cant remember what grade I got but I had fun making it.
as much I loved Christopher Lloyd's performance as Judge Doom, I still think Tim Curry's take on the character would've been pretty good. In fact, a similar incident happened with the Joker in "Batman: The Animated Series" from the early/mid 1990's, where it was said that Tim Curry originally voiced the Joker in the first few episodes, before Mark Hamill eventually made history after taking over the character.
Yes, but (supposedly at least) he was replaced because he fell ill or suddenly had other commitments; not because they were unhappy with his performance.

I am a diehard Star Wars fan, but I cannot think of anyone better for Batman and the Joker as Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. I'm ALSO a Tim Curry fan, and would have loved at least an iteration of his Joker, but, Hamill will always him in my mind.
This is off topic but many people are ignorant to the fact that Mark Hamill actually did fairly well for himself after Star Wars. They think that just because he didn’t become a movie star like Harrison Ford did that he totally vanished after Star Wars but that’s Not true. Aside from the Luke Skywalker character he’s also best known for the voice of the Joker on the Batman animated series
I'm completely fine with there never being a sequel to Roger Rabbit, that movie was lightning in a jar. There are so many sequels and reboots that end up falling completely flat, I feel like the same would happen with Roger. It's better to just leave well enough alone and praise Roger Rabbit for being the stand alone masterpiece that it is.
I was 22 when this came out. I used to go see it many times with a friend and we would drink quite alot every time while watching it. It was a very good time. Remembering the past is odd stuff.
I still remember seeing this for the first time at the theater. Mom gave my sister and me some spare change and we rode our bikes 5 miles to the nearest town and saw an afternoon matinee ($2.50 per ticket, lol). What a good time. This movie still holds up great and I still find it fun, unique and entertaining.
@@jasonelliott7977 It was at a tiny little old theater in a tiny old little town east of Cincinnati. The afternoon shows were $2.50…probably just to get people in the door. The prime time showings were closer to $5, I think. I saw quite a few movies there back in the day!
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. It’s just fantastic and so were the animated shorts that followed! It’s too bad that Disney and Spielberg couldn’t come to some sort of agreement with the character instead of having him pretty much fade away. But, on the other hand, I’m glad that there hasn’t been a sequel to tarnish the magic of the original because between computerized animation and today’s mentality, the sequel would be such crap!
Roger Rabbit is one of the greatest films ever made. what a performance from Christopher Lloyd. Genuinely one of the scariest villains ever. the scene where he puts the cartoon boot into the acid is chilling
@Krogan Love … I was always an old school animation freak! I loved all the old cartoons from the 40’s and 50’s. This movie was an animation fans dream come true! Especially having Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny, from two rival companies, on the screen at the same time! I hope you enjoy it!
I was in 8th grade when this came out and was lucky enough to see it in theaters. My dad immediately took me to Toys R Us after the show to get Rodger Rabbit toys.
My nephew and niece are 7 and 8. For some reason the TV is always on in their home, and they regularly watch Cartoon Network or other random cartoon channels, and they just look awful bored. We watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit during the last Christmas holidays and they demanded to watch it again. This movie has a heart, a great story and a brilliant performance by the actors. Wanna know if a family film is really good? Show it to the kids.
It truly is an absolute masterpiece. Considering the number of decisions that had to be made by Zemeckis during production, words cannot truly describe how batshit insane it is that he made all the right decisions. There were sooooo many chances for this to have gone south and he kept the ship headed in the right direction. It's just bonkers that so many talented people came together in just the right way to make this movie. We are LUCKY to have this movie. Another one like it will never be made again.
Something you forgot to mention is that several Roger Rabbit cartoon shorts are available on Disney plus. "Tummy Trouble," "Rollercoaster Rabbit" and "Trail Mix-Up." For those wondering, there were an additional 4 cartoons cancelled while in pre-production. "Hare In My Soup," "Clean and Oppressed," "Beach Blanket Bay" and "Bronco Bustin' Bunny." That's a lot of Roger Rabbit! 🐰
When I saw this movie as a kid in theater back in 88 they used to do this thing where there would be a magician at the front of the theater and put on a show before the actual picture. I think I got a balloon or something which pretty exciting for kid me IMO on it's own, but then the movie started and just wow -- one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Love the video but I gotta point out an error you made. There was a third Roger Rabbit short and it was called “Trail Mix-Up” and it was released in 1993 alongside a Disney movie called “A Far Off Place”, which was produced by Spielberg’s Amblin Ent. but not by Spielberg himself. “There’s A Hare In My Soup” was the fourth that got cancelled along with the other in-development shorts.
I'm just gonna put this out there. With Disney reviving old franchises with new series on Disney+, they really need to do a pre-Roger Rabbit, detective noir-style show about the exploits of Valiant and Valiant.
Bonus fun-fact; the Disney-Afternoon classic 'Bonkers', was supposed to be set in the same universe as 'Roger Rabbit'!! Now, if they were still determined to make sequel, that's where I'D go with it; a brand-new story with new characters, but set in the same continuity! =)
I may have misheard, but there were in fact three Roger Rabbit shorts - Tummy Trouble, Rollercoaster Rabbit and Trail Mix Up. All three are on Disney+ 🙂
I like this movie and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about what I say right
The “Dead Toons Don’t Pay Bills” title is definitely a riff on the Steve Martin film “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” which brilliantly also mixes footage. Not animation and practical, but rather vintage and contemporary. If you have not seen it check it out.
Yeah, Dead men don't wear plaid is a brilliant movie. But sadly it is very little known. And for some reason, a number of the people that have seen it doesn't really understand that the whole point of the movie is to tie together these scenes from old films to create a new meaning for all of them. They just think it's lazy ripping off other movies. I can understand that much of the younger audience will not get that much out of the movie, since they will most likely never have seen the old movies all the clips are taken from and will not understand the setting they were meant to be in originally. But if one just have the right mind set, they also would see the humor in sewing together all these unrelated scenes into a new story.
Hi Minty, I recently watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It is the best example of fictional media involving toon and non-toon co-existence. Watching both of your videos about the movie helped me learn about it even more. Can you believe that Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin Ride will remain in Mickey's Toontown when the land reopens sometime in 2023? The 45th anniversary of Who Framed Roger Rabbit will be marked by June 22nd, 2023. It would be nice if there were meet and greets of Eddie and Roger or at least Roger only in Disneyland. That would help celebrate both the reopening and the anniversary. I'm working on my own Who Framed Roger Rabbit AU story that features my WFRR non-toon human OC, Darwin Wilhelm. I've been writing a story script on Google Docs, and I'll have to see what happens. I appreciate your passion for Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Never give up on supporting the movie and keeping its relevance alive. God bless you.
Good news Minty! There is a third Roger Rabbit short that apparently you haven’t seen. It’s called “Trail Mix Up” and originally appeared before a forgotten 1993 movie “A Far Off Place”. It looks like the short may be available on Disney+. I hope that you can find a way to see it as it is clear you’re also a big fan. Cheers!
I always liked that movie. I mean, it's was basically a formulaic movie, typical for its era, but still, I found myself sympathizing with Kurt Russell's character.
I just recently watched that new Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers film, and it gave me some solid Roger Rabbit vibes with all the cameos from cartoon characters-including Roger Rabbit. When I was watching it and looking at IMDB, I also noticed an entry for Roger Rabbit 2022, and now that I’ve seen your video I did more digging and found some random online sources that show rumored release dates for that film as being in September of 2022 at the latest. Now that it’s getting pretty late in the year for a project of that size to be listed on IMDB and so devoid of any other info, and no newer rumors showing the release dates being pushed back later than September-I’m now firmly convinced that the production of Chip ‘n Dale was the source of all those rumors. I mean, it makes sense. If you work in the industry and saw any of the live action filming or behind the scenes production work being done on that film, which may or may not have used a fake/codename, like they often do-I can see how someone might assume they were working on a new Roger Rabbit film. Based on the facts that someone working in the industry might know about this unnamed/codenamed mystery film was that it was a live action film that featured a bunch of cameos from cartoon characters, the plot had some detective/crime story elements in it that were targeting an audience of Millennials and their children, because it was based on an older Disney IP from their childhood. If you happened to spot a list of voice actors booked for recording sessions, which happened to include Charles Fleischer among them-I know that my first guess is going to be a new Roger Rabbit film. So, now I’m kind of bummed out that I’ve taken the time to think about it more and come to that conclusion, because it means we probably won’t be getting a new Roger Rabbit film.
I think I mentioned this in the comments of the previous video, but the cinema scene was filmed in my home town, Grays, Essex, at the State Theatre. I actually walked past it this morning, after taking my car to the garage. Unfortunately the building has been left to rot for years and it's an awkward situation as to how to really bring it back because it's a listed building, meaning any works done to it must stick to very strict guidelines. Plus the the horrible news that a pub chain, Wetherspoons, has bought it and wants to turn into a pub rather than restore it to a live venue.
You are absolutely correct about Tom and Jerry. I distinctly remember them being in the film, not too prominently but as part of the chaotic crowd of toons.
Hard to believe that the new Pinocchio is directed by the same guy who directed Roger Rabbit, because how do you make something look worse than an almost 40 year old movie? Geppetto's hands practically clip through Pinocchio when he picks him up, there's no immersion.
@TheSpaceBetweenOurHouses how about the ending where Pinocchino becomes a real boy with the cheap looking CGI effects? And notice that Jimmy Cricket says no one knows if he became a real boy?! Say What?!🙄🤔😮🤷
11th thing. Technically, Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the first job and work I performed in life. My 2nd job was shovelling snow and mowing lawns. Via a contest win with Disney, spoke directly with the board, and via 1/2 the duo CEO/Chairperson situation at the time, this multi-studio collaboration film was ordered up.
I love how the new Chip and Dale movie actually referenced Rodger Rabbit multiple times, from him literally being on screen, Jessica Rabbit being name-dropped, to the less immediately obvious reference of Sweet Pete having a vial of Dip in his torture toolkit. It really shows how much it affected the popular culture of toon films for all time.
I dunno... Bill Murray might have been a good second choice, but I don't think he could have brought the feeling that Eddie didn't really deserve to be the bum he was at the beginning. And I think his anti-toon bigotry might have come off a bit harsher, maybe too harsh. But I may be projecting too much from Murray's portrayal in "Stripes", where he _definitely_ deserved the kicking he got at the beginning of the movie. Hoskins' Eddie had a sweetness about him that I think Murray's and Chase's natural smart-ass attitude would have lacked. Again, Chase played a similar down-on-his-luck character in "Fletch", but again I felt he deserved it.
THANK YOU for this! Charles Fleischer insisted on wearing a giant Roger Rabbit suit when he was on set, doing his voice for the other actors. After the movie came out, I ran into him with my friend Dan DiPaola at the Petersen Car Museum during the Mac trade show in LA. Nobody else was around. We sat on a dais below a giant looming1950s Hudson and talked for an hour. What a charming madman. I'm sorry he's gone. Doom was actually Firestone Rubber, which bought and shut down all the LA public transit to force people into their cars, to burn more rubber. Doom's speech about freeways makes me slightly sick. Like you, I'm glad there's no sequel. That exec was right. They'd ruin it now, and as you said, it's perfect
Minty, Who Framed Roger Rabbit did actually get a spiritual sequel and what that is is a product or fictional work that is similar to, or directly inspired by, another previous work, but (unlike a traditional prequel or sequel) does not explicitly continue the product line or media franchise of its predecessor, and is thus only a successor "in spirit". The name of it is Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers which based off an animated show disney made in the late 80s and early 90s, and to point this out Roger Rabbit appears in a cameo in the movie and both the original show and movie are both worth checking out. I saw the movie on Disney after it came and I honestly enjoyed it.
I think it would be amazing if film companies could think of new ideas instead of relying on copying old ideas and adding new material!! Thank you for posting this!
I swear, Popeye is in "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit?". He's briefly seen at the end of the movie, when Toontown enters the warehouse and sings, after a wall falls down.
@@blacksheepmiracle1433 There is a remote possibility that some toons were edited out of the Blu-ray. Several things, maybe a lot of things were snuck in by animators that are known to have been removed. The movie was made without any expectation of frame by frame inspection. Baby Herman goosing in 2 scenes, Jessica's crotch for instance.
@@blacksheepmiracle1433 Oops, of course there is Fleischer Bros. Even the voice of Olive Oil, May Questal did her and Betty Boop. The clown from Betty Boop was there in the finale. Somehow I had compartmentalized Popeye from Betty Boop. However I didn't notice anything from Fleischer other than Betty Boop stuff. May also did a series of commercials when she was old, Aunt Bluebell. Not just the voice, that that little old woman was her. Pointed out to me by my brother. He is a big animation fan, even did animation in some video games.
Roger Rabbit wouldn't have worked without the cameos. It was a celebration of classic animation at a time when it was considered irrelevant. And although many of the techniques weren't new, they did become the foundation for a lot of the CG/live-action stuff produced today.
Notice how the weasel henchmen are dressed, one in light clothes and one in dark clothes? In the original novel, every toon has a doppelganger. The darkly dressed weasel is the doppelganger.
In the last few years Disney has been selling more merch in the Disney Parks featuring Roger and Jessica Rabbit so…you never know. The Eddie Valiant/Roger Easter egg window in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is still there. I don’t think the idea is dead, it’s just perpetually shelved.
Who framed Roger Rabbit was the very first bootleg movie that I ever owned. My uncle brought it for me and my brothers because we wouldn't stop asking to go see it.
So much went into this movie it warranted a follow up "10 things video". It would've been awesome to have cameos of those other toons like Casper and Popeye.
There was a third Roger Rabbit short called Trail Mix-up that came out in 1993. Also, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is a spin off of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's set in the same universe. It even features a cameo of Roger himself, and a bottle of dip is in one shot.
Well done, Minty. I always find your segments interesting, but this is the first time I can recall where I did not know any of the facts your presented. Good stuff.
I’ve worked in bars and restaurants for the last 24 years (since I was 15) and I still can’t pick up a plate without thinking of smashing it on my head…thanks Roger!!
I give you a thumbs up every time before even watching the content as you my friend are the best when it comes to things like this, no other goes in to so much detail as you. Your ace and one of my top ten youtubers, if not no.1. Well done.
Me too and I seen this movie when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about what I say right and what do you think about this movie same thing what I say right and what do you think about this movie
I just came back from watching this in theaters. They even had Robert watts one of the producers doing a q&a. I didn't know what to ask do I just told him thank you for the memories
16:20-16:30 This from the same man who almost ruined PIXAR by making "Toy Story" edgy for adults; hence the infamous Black Friday reel where Woody was a terrible character, even going so far as intentionally throwing Buzz out the window and insulting the other toys.
13:10 Hi Mark, mandela effect youtuber here 👋🏻💗 Im actually going to look into that one because i remember them in it, as well! But ive already found & covered 3 mandela effects in WFRR: 1. Roger Rabbit never had pink covering the bottom of his feet. (10:24 you may have to slow down to see & 12:56) The early drawings are the feet i remember. Now his feet look like shoes 2. Roger Rabbits (the whites of his eyes) are blue now (0:52 omg even the doll! 0:46 look at packaging, some scenes in movie theyre white (0:57) others blue like this timestamp) May seem minor, but this a mandela effect pattern that we see all the time in the M.E. Community. Many cartoon characters from our childhood have had the whites of their eyes change to either pale blue, yellow or pink. Some examples: the magicians rabbit in frosty the snowman (pink), the pink panther (yellow), Tom (of Tom & Jerry) (yellow) & donald & Scrooge McDuck (pale blue) 3. The craziest change imho…Jessica Rabbit, when she sings on stage, her sparkly dress was RED (10:18 its a quick second so you may have to slow down) but now, its PINK. The cosplay community have been known to argue of her dress color (which shouldn’t be a thing). Her everyday dress is also wrong for me but its much more subtle. Its a raspberry color now, i remember a deep warm red, no hit of purple added to it like it is now. AND I just found another one watching your video so thank you! Lol 😂 I have a channel, but i rarely use it. Instead im on 3 of my friends channels every week Brian MacFarlane, Curiouser&Curiouser and Scarab Performance (if he ever comes back, currently on 2 month hiatus) if youre interested in learning more. Also, i cant see youtube messages, youre better off just replying here if you have questions. Great video as always! 💗
They played the movie last year at my local cinema for it’s 35th anniversary. Packed cinema with a lotta kids there. Everyone was very reactive. Terrific cinematic experience. A perfect movie.
Yes this Is a great Movie and your right a sequel would of not worked for this film. I'm glad that Never happened. I think as I get older I will Never get sick of this movie and I will love it even more when I get older. And yes "Dead Toons Don't Pay Bills"!!! Lol Great job again Mr. MINTY!!!!
If they ever did finally pull the trigger on a sequel, I think they should stick with the 2D animation... It just feels right for the world and the character to me.
Hey Minty. Maybe the Tom and Jerry type scenes you are thinking about could be from the John Ritter movie "Stay Tuned"? For a long time I also thought the scenes were from Who framed Roger rabbit until I did some searching and realized I had parts of the movies mixed up lol. Maybe you could do an episode on Stay Tuned as it is also a nostalgic movie. Either way keep it up man I love this channel!!
The one line from that film I will always remember and definitely surprise that didn't get Disney in hot trouble will be Sylvester saying "He's no p*ssy!"
I was surprised to learn about this being filmed at Ellstree Studios. This was where Top Of The Pops was filmed throughout the '90s, having moved from it's longstanding previous home the BBC Television Centre.
I can recall playing another Disney feature film scored by Alan Silvestri, Flight of the Navigator, for my mentor, a traditionalist classical/jazz musician. When I told him Silvestri had assembled the Flight of the Navigator score completely on a Synclavier II, my mentor insisted he couldn’t take Silvestri seriously as a composer unless he heard one of Silvestri’s scores made only with traditional orchestral instrumentation. It’s April 2024 as I comment. It’s been nearly 15 years since that guy passed away, and one major regret is that I didn’t also show him Who Framed Roger Rabbit. *That* Alan Silvestri score would almost immediately have appealed to his traditionalism, even if he didn’t relate to the story itself.
Minty, you definitely should do an episode of Cool World (1992) with Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger. It’s a live action/animated just like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but a lot more f,…. up and adult. My aunt rented it and it freaked me out as a child 😅
You missed that the animator for Roger was also working on a HUGE project called The Theif and Cobbler. Sadly the production went into crisis because of Roger Rabbit, and also Disney wasn't kind and added unneeded musical numbers to the movies. Roger Rabbit as amazing as it was put the animator under
Super7 ReAction currently has the Roger Rabbit line of 3.75 inch action figures available. Ridiculously priced between $18-$23 depending where you buy.
Is one of my favorite movies of all time I wish they would release the unedited or director's cut version But with 4K and Dolby atmos... Actually spend some good quality time with it
I actually think the closest we get to a sequel, go with me on this, is the recent Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers movie. Animation with live action, crime drama, lots of jokes and callbacks to whatever they wanted, and doesn't hurt to have an actual cameo from Roger Rabbit himself. Prove me wrong on this, or that's my head canon forever.
...great episode Minty!! Can I share? Imagine it, early 90's, a lil boy I cant remember the age and his brothers huddled under a blanket that is connected to an AC unit because its summer and its hot. Basically an AC balloon. We have our heads peeking out from under it to view our television set thats 30 inches across and 40 inchs deep, laughing an intrigued by what is Roger Rabbit. Wonderful memories.
Before Cool World, Space Jam, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Space Jam 2: A New Legacy, and the new 2022 Chip and Dale film, there was Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
it took them sometime to acknowledge that. ;)

In fact, a similar incident happened with the Joker in "Batman: The Animated Series" from the early/mid 1990's, where it was said that Tim Curry originally voiced the Joker in the first few episodes, before Mark Hamill eventually made history after taking over the character.
Yes, but (supposedly at least) he was replaced because he fell ill or suddenly had other commitments; not because they were unhappy with his performance.

Tim Cury would’ve been fantastic as Judge Doom. However it would’ve been different in its own way but equally well portrayed.
I am a diehard Star Wars fan, but I cannot think of anyone better for Batman and the Joker as Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. I'm ALSO a Tim Curry fan, and would have loved at least an iteration of his Joker, but, Hamill will always him in my mind.
This is off topic but many people are ignorant to the fact that Mark Hamill actually did fairly well for himself after Star Wars. They think that just because he didn’t become a movie star like Harrison Ford did that he totally vanished after Star Wars but that’s Not true. Aside from the Luke Skywalker character he’s also best known for the voice of the Joker on the Batman animated series
I'm completely fine with there never being a sequel to Roger Rabbit, that movie was lightning in a jar. There are so many sequels and reboots that end up falling completely flat, I feel like the same would happen with Roger. It's better to just leave well enough alone and praise Roger Rabbit for being the stand alone masterpiece that it is.
You know, there was a sequel in the form of a graphic novel. And to be honest, I thought it was sequel enough.
I was 22 when this came out. I used to go see it many times with a friend and we would drink quite alot every time while watching it. It was a very good time. Remembering the past is odd stuff.
I still remember seeing this for the first time at the theater. Mom gave my sister and me some spare change and we rode our bikes 5 miles to the nearest town and saw an afternoon matinee ($2.50 per ticket, lol). What a good time. This movie still holds up great and I still find it fun, unique and entertaining.
2.50 a ticket? Those were the good old days.
@@jasonelliott7977 It was at a tiny little old theater in a tiny old little town east of Cincinnati. The afternoon shows were $2.50…probably just to get people in the door. The prime time showings were closer to $5, I think. I saw quite a few movies there back in the day!
@@frankschuler2867 I did the same with my aunt, sister, and cousins on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year.
One of the few groundbreaking movies of it's time and within movie history. most importantly STANDS THE TEST OF TIME immensely.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. It’s just fantastic and so were the animated shorts that followed! It’s too bad that Disney and Spielberg couldn’t come to some sort of agreement with the character instead of having him pretty much fade away. But, on the other hand, I’m glad that there hasn’t been a sequel to tarnish the magic of the original because between computerized animation and today’s mentality, the sequel would be such crap!
Roger Rabbit is one of the greatest films ever made. what a performance from Christopher Lloyd. Genuinely one of the scariest villains ever. the scene where he puts the cartoon boot into the acid is chilling
NOT ONLY THAT ROGER RABBIT MARRIED JESSICA RABBIT
@Krogan Love … I was always an old school animation freak! I loved all the old cartoons from the 40’s and 50’s. This movie was an animation fans dream come true! Especially having Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny, from two rival companies, on the screen at the same time! I hope you enjoy it!
An incredible, magical movie with a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between WB and Disney.
Plus: Judge Doom's crazy eyes at the end! Aaaaaah!
@@zacharycollins9485 …. YES!!!
I was in 8th grade when this came out and was lucky enough to see it in theaters. My dad immediately took me to Toys R Us after the show to get Rodger Rabbit toys.
My nephew and niece are 7 and 8. For some reason the TV is always on in their home, and they regularly watch Cartoon Network or other random cartoon channels, and they just look awful bored. We watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit during the last Christmas holidays and they demanded to watch it again. This movie has a heart, a great story and a brilliant performance by the actors. Wanna know if a family film is really good? Show it to the kids.
It truly is an absolute masterpiece. Considering the number of decisions that had to be made by Zemeckis during production, words cannot truly describe how batshit insane it is that he made all the right decisions. There were sooooo many chances for this to have gone south and he kept the ship headed in the right direction. It's just bonkers that so many talented people came together in just the right way to make this movie. We are LUCKY to have this movie. Another one like it will never be made again.
Something you forgot to mention is that several Roger Rabbit cartoon shorts are available on Disney plus. "Tummy Trouble," "Rollercoaster Rabbit" and "Trail Mix-Up." For those wondering, there were an additional 4 cartoons cancelled while in pre-production. "Hare In My Soup," "Clean and Oppressed," "Beach Blanket Bay" and "Bronco Bustin' Bunny." That's a lot of Roger Rabbit! 🐰
Ahh, that’s the name of the third, I recall ALL THREE were included on DVD bonus features…yet he only listed two of them
When I saw this movie as a kid in theater back in 88 they used to do this thing where there would be a magician at the front of the theater and put on a show before the actual picture. I think I got a balloon or something which pretty exciting for kid me IMO on it's own, but then the movie started and just wow -- one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Love the video but I gotta point out an error you made. There was a third Roger Rabbit short and it was called “Trail Mix-Up” and it was released in 1993 alongside a Disney movie called “A Far Off Place”, which was produced by Spielberg’s Amblin Ent. but not by Spielberg himself. “There’s A Hare In My Soup” was the fourth that got cancelled along with the other in-development shorts.
There was a 3rd Roger Rabbit short called Trail Mix-Up that played in front of A Far Off Place in 1993.
Looks like Minty made an error there 😞
What a unique movie. Nothing in the genre has topped it before or since.
I'm just gonna put this out there. With Disney reviving old franchises with new series on Disney+, they really need to do a pre-Roger Rabbit, detective noir-style show about the exploits of Valiant and Valiant.
Bonus fun-fact; the Disney-Afternoon classic 'Bonkers', was supposed to be set in the same universe as 'Roger Rabbit'!! Now, if they were still determined to make sequel, that's where I'D go with it; a brand-new story with new characters, but set in the same continuity! =)
I may have misheard, but there were in fact three Roger Rabbit shorts - Tummy Trouble, Rollercoaster Rabbit and Trail Mix Up. All three are on Disney+ 🙂
Minty made an error there 😞
Roger Rabbit has been my favorite movie since I saw it in theaters in the 80's.
I like this movie and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about what I say right
The “Dead Toons Don’t Pay Bills” title is definitely a riff on the Steve Martin film “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” which brilliantly also mixes footage. Not animation and practical, but rather vintage and contemporary. If you have not seen it check it out.
Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid is one of the most underrated movies in my opinion. Steve Martin’s second best film next to The Jerk.😊
Yeah, Dead men don't wear plaid is a brilliant movie. But sadly it is very little known. And for some reason, a number of the people that have seen it doesn't really understand that the whole point of the movie is to tie together these scenes from old films to create a new meaning for all of them. They just think it's lazy ripping off other movies. I can understand that much of the younger audience will not get that much out of the movie, since they will most likely never have seen the old movies all the clips are taken from and will not understand the setting they were meant to be in originally. But if one just have the right mind set, they also would see the humor in sewing together all these unrelated scenes into a new story.
I was thinking it was dead men tell no tales.
Hi Minty, I recently watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It is the best example of fictional media involving toon and non-toon co-existence. Watching both of your videos about the movie helped me learn about it even more. Can you believe that Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin Ride will remain in Mickey's Toontown when the land reopens sometime in 2023? The 45th anniversary of Who Framed Roger Rabbit will be marked by June 22nd, 2023. It would be nice if there were meet and greets of Eddie and Roger or at least Roger only in Disneyland. That would help celebrate both the reopening and the anniversary. I'm working on my own Who Framed Roger Rabbit AU story that features my WFRR non-toon human OC, Darwin Wilhelm. I've been writing a story script on Google Docs, and I'll have to see what happens. I appreciate your passion for Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Never give up on supporting the movie and keeping its relevance alive. God bless you.
Good news Minty! There is a third Roger Rabbit short that apparently you haven’t seen. It’s called “Trail Mix Up” and originally appeared before a forgotten 1993 movie “A Far Off Place”. It looks like the short may be available on Disney+. I hope that you can find a way to see it as it is clear you’re also a big fan. Cheers!
Still remember seeing this movie in the theater with my mom when I was just 7 years old. One of my instant favorites!
Have seen it twenty times. I could see it twenty more. It never gets old.
It's a classic in my eyes. Loe this movie. I've watched UT with my kids and they seemed to enjoy it too
This movie if initially released today unedited would be a mega hit. So timeless.
Speaking of the movie "Used Cars", that would be a great topic for another video. I love your reviews, Minty!
I always liked that movie. I mean, it's was basically a formulaic movie, typical for its era, but still, I found myself sympathizing with Kurt Russell's character.
Robert Zemeckis's best movie 👌
We've got a... mile of cars.
Best plot, ever.
I just recently watched that new Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers film, and it gave me some solid Roger Rabbit vibes with all the cameos from cartoon characters-including Roger Rabbit.
When I was watching it and looking at IMDB, I also noticed an entry for Roger Rabbit 2022, and now that I’ve seen your video I did more digging and found some random online sources that show rumored release dates for that film as being in September of 2022 at the latest.
Now that it’s getting pretty late in the year for a project of that size to be listed on IMDB and so devoid of any other info, and no newer rumors showing the release dates being pushed back later than September-I’m now firmly convinced that the production of Chip ‘n Dale was the source of all those rumors.
I mean, it makes sense. If you work in the industry and saw any of the live action filming or behind the scenes production work being done on that film, which may or may not have used a fake/codename, like they often do-I can see how someone might assume they were working on a new Roger Rabbit film.
Based on the facts that someone working in the industry might know about this unnamed/codenamed mystery film was that it was a live action film that featured a bunch of cameos from cartoon characters, the plot had some detective/crime story elements in it that were targeting an audience of Millennials and their children, because it was based on an older Disney IP from their childhood. If you happened to spot a list of voice actors booked for recording sessions, which happened to include Charles Fleischer among them-I know that my first guess is going to be a new Roger Rabbit film.
So, now I’m kind of bummed out that I’ve taken the time to think about it more and come to that conclusion, because it means we probably won’t be getting a new Roger Rabbit film.
Still one of my favs that no one talks about. And it still holds up.
I think I mentioned this in the comments of the previous video, but the cinema scene was filmed in my home town, Grays, Essex, at the State Theatre.
I actually walked past it this morning, after taking my car to the garage.
Unfortunately the building has been left to rot for years and it's an awkward situation as to how to really bring it back because it's a listed building, meaning any works done to it must stick to very strict guidelines.
Plus the the horrible news that a pub chain, Wetherspoons, has bought it and wants to turn into a pub rather than restore it to a live venue.
You are absolutely correct about Tom and Jerry. I distinctly remember them being in the film, not too prominently but as part of the chaotic crowd of toons.
Hard to believe that the new Pinocchio is directed by the same guy who directed Roger Rabbit, because how do you make something look worse than an almost 40 year old movie? Geppetto's hands practically clip through Pinocchio when he picks him up, there's no immersion.
@TheSpaceBetweenOurHouses how about the ending where Pinocchino becomes a real boy with the cheap looking CGI effects? And notice that Jimmy Cricket says no one knows if he became a real boy?! Say What?!🙄🤔😮🤷
Some of those art concepts are incredible. The movie is a full-on art piece.
You da man Minty!!!
11th thing. Technically, Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the first job and work I performed in life. My 2nd job was shovelling snow and mowing lawns.
Via a contest win with Disney, spoke directly with the board, and via 1/2 the duo CEO/Chairperson situation at the time, this multi-studio collaboration film was ordered up.
HELP REPORT THESE IDIOT SCAMMERS
I love how the new Chip and Dale movie actually referenced Rodger Rabbit multiple times, from him literally being on screen, Jessica Rabbit being name-dropped, to the less immediately obvious reference of Sweet Pete having a vial of Dip in his torture toolkit. It really shows how much it affected the popular culture of toon films for all time.
I haven't seen that film, but my son is probably aware of it
I'm in the process of writing my own video essay about the greater Toon Town Saga, and this movie is going to be part of the legacy section
"Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
Is an absolute classic.
(I would have loved to see Bill Murray play Eddie, but they got the casting right imo)
I dunno... Bill Murray might have been a good second choice, but I don't think he could have brought the feeling that Eddie didn't really deserve to be the bum he was at the beginning. And I think his anti-toon bigotry might have come off a bit harsher, maybe too harsh.
But I may be projecting too much from Murray's portrayal in "Stripes", where he _definitely_ deserved the kicking he got at the beginning of the movie.
Hoskins' Eddie had a sweetness about him that I think Murray's and Chase's natural smart-ass attitude would have lacked. Again, Chase played a similar down-on-his-luck character in "Fletch", but again I felt he deserved it.
THANK YOU for this! Charles Fleischer insisted on wearing a giant Roger Rabbit suit when he was on set, doing his voice for the other actors. After the movie came out, I ran into him with my friend Dan DiPaola at the Petersen Car Museum during the Mac trade show in LA. Nobody else was around. We sat on a dais below a giant looming1950s Hudson and talked for an hour. What a charming madman. I'm sorry he's gone. Doom was actually Firestone Rubber, which bought and shut down all the LA public transit to force people into their cars, to burn more rubber. Doom's speech about freeways makes me slightly sick. Like you, I'm glad there's no sequel. That exec was right. They'd ruin it now, and as you said, it's perfect
Minty, Who Framed Roger Rabbit did actually get a spiritual sequel and what that is is a product or fictional work that is similar to, or directly inspired by, another previous work, but (unlike a traditional prequel or sequel) does not explicitly continue the product line or media franchise of its predecessor, and is thus only a successor "in spirit". The name of it is Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers which based off an animated show disney made in the late 80s and early 90s, and to point this out Roger Rabbit appears in a cameo in the movie and both the original show and movie are both worth checking out. I saw the movie on Disney after it came and I honestly enjoyed it.
i loved your first WFRR 10 things list, 2nd one was even better, you got me to actually find and order that original novel!!
I think it would be amazing if film companies could think of new ideas instead of relying on copying old ideas and adding new material!! Thank you for posting this!
I swear, Popeye is in "Who Framed Rodger Rabbit?". He's briefly seen at the end of the movie, when Toontown enters the warehouse and sings, after a wall falls down.
I just looked and cannot see him. I didn't step through EVERY frame. Spotted Woody Wood Pecker, but nothing from the Fleischer Bros.
@@ethelredhardrede1838 I'm probably wrong. That, or it's the Madela Effect.
@@blacksheepmiracle1433
There is a remote possibility that some toons were edited out of the Blu-ray. Several things, maybe a lot of things were snuck in by animators that are known to have been removed. The movie was made without any expectation of frame by frame inspection. Baby Herman goosing in 2 scenes, Jessica's crotch for instance.
@@blacksheepmiracle1433
Oops, of course there is Fleischer Bros. Even the voice of Olive Oil, May Questal did her and Betty Boop. The clown from Betty Boop was there in the finale. Somehow I had compartmentalized Popeye from Betty Boop. However I didn't notice anything from Fleischer other than Betty Boop stuff.
May also did a series of commercials when she was old, Aunt Bluebell. Not just the voice, that that little old woman was her. Pointed out to me by my brother. He is a big animation fan, even did animation in some video games.
@@ethelredhardrede1838 Wow! That's awesome! Your brother must be really talented! I wish I could animate, but I can barely draw. Lol
Roger Rabbit wouldn't have worked without the cameos. It was a celebration of classic animation at a time when it was considered irrelevant. And although many of the techniques weren't new, they did become the foundation for a lot of the CG/live-action stuff produced today.
I wish this movie had a sequel. Bob Haskins was an awesome actor, and this had to be one of the greatest and most memorable movies of the 90's.
I met Charles Fleischerat at the Mad Monster Party. He was an interesting guy whose as odd as Roger Rabbit himself.
That guy that played Roger must have spent hours in makeup
He grew up to play JarJarBinks!
🥁🥁,🥁
@@aaronburratwood.6957 really?
@@marlonclark1896 no. Jar Jar was done by Ahmad Best.
Notice how the weasel henchmen are dressed,
one in light clothes and one in dark clothes?
In the original novel, every toon has a doppelganger.
The darkly dressed weasel is the doppelganger.
In the last few years Disney has been selling more merch in the Disney Parks featuring Roger and Jessica Rabbit so…you never know. The Eddie Valiant/Roger Easter egg window in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is still there. I don’t think the idea is dead, it’s just perpetually shelved.
Who framed Roger Rabbit was the very first bootleg movie that I ever owned. My uncle brought it for me and my brothers because we wouldn't stop asking to go see it.
It's a great shame that Spielberg stopped further Roger Rabbit shorts from being made. They were a great edition to the original film.
So much went into this movie it warranted a follow up "10 things video".
It would've been awesome to have cameos of those other toons like Casper and Popeye.
There was a third Roger Rabbit short called Trail Mix-up that came out in 1993. Also, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is a spin off of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's set in the same universe. It even features a cameo of Roger himself, and a bottle of dip is in one shot.
You’re kidding me!
I watched this last night!
Perfect timing!
More Roger facts?
Yes pppppplease!
One of my favorites movies‼️
Well done, Minty. I always find your segments interesting, but this is the first time I can recall where I did not know any of the facts your presented. Good stuff.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
The Disney show Bonkers was based on "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and I am not mistaken at one time was going to feature Roger Rabbit.
Ironically, both Bonkers & Rodgers would show up in the live action Chip & Dale's Rescue Rangers Movie.
I’ve worked in bars and restaurants for the last 24 years (since I was 15) and I still can’t pick up a plate without thinking of smashing it on my head…thanks Roger!!
I give you a thumbs up every time before even watching the content as you my friend are the best when it comes to things like this, no other goes in to so much detail as you.
Your ace and one of my top ten youtubers, if not no.1.
Well done.
I remember seeing it in the theater as a kid. As an adult I have a greater appreciation for it!
Wait wait wait....you had hair....sorry cannot picture it! :P
Keep up the great work man, loving your work.
One of the reasons the movie was a success was the soundtrack. Like ''JAWS'' part 1, without it, it would never have been the hit it is today.
My favorite track is Valiant & Valiant. That flugelhorn solo is epic!
@@AngryCatMan1982 The songs ''WHY DON'T YOU DO RIGHT'' , '''THE MERRY-GO-ROUND BROKE DOWN'' and ''EDDIE VALIANT'S THEME'' are my favorites.
I love roger rabbitt
Me too and I seen this movie when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about what I say right and what do you think about this movie same thing what I say right and what do you think about this movie
I've enjoyed watching your videos for years now. I just want to say thank you. For the time and effort you put in. You keep it entertaining.
Minty is truly one of the best hidden gems on RUclips. We love you Minty! 💪❤️
You'll have to do Used Cars. It's a great hidden gem. And if you get the DVD the commentary is one of the best.
I just came back from watching this in theaters. They even had Robert watts one of the producers doing a q&a. I didn't know what to ask do I just told him thank you for the memories
16:20-16:30 This from the same man who almost ruined PIXAR by making "Toy Story" edgy for adults; hence the infamous Black Friday reel where
Woody was a terrible character, even going so far as intentionally throwing Buzz out the window and insulting the other toys.
13:10 Hi Mark, mandela effect youtuber here 👋🏻💗
Im actually going to look into that one because i remember them in it, as well! But ive already found & covered 3 mandela effects in WFRR:
1. Roger Rabbit never had pink covering the bottom of his feet. (10:24 you may have to slow down to see & 12:56)
The early drawings are the feet i remember. Now his feet look like shoes
2. Roger Rabbits (the whites of his eyes) are blue now (0:52 omg even the doll! 0:46 look at packaging, some scenes in movie theyre white (0:57) others blue like this timestamp)
May seem minor, but this a mandela effect pattern that we see all the time in the M.E. Community. Many cartoon characters from our childhood have had the whites of their eyes change to either pale blue, yellow or pink. Some examples: the magicians rabbit in frosty the snowman (pink), the pink panther (yellow), Tom (of Tom & Jerry) (yellow) & donald & Scrooge McDuck (pale blue)
3. The craziest change imho…Jessica Rabbit, when she sings on stage, her sparkly dress was RED (10:18 its a quick second so you may have to slow down) but now, its PINK. The cosplay community have been known to argue of her dress color (which shouldn’t be a thing). Her everyday dress is also wrong for me but its much more subtle. Its a raspberry color now, i remember a deep warm red, no hit of purple added to it like it is now.
AND I just found another one watching your video so thank you! Lol 😂
I have a channel, but i rarely use it. Instead im on 3 of my friends channels every week Brian MacFarlane, Curiouser&Curiouser and Scarab Performance (if he ever comes back, currently on 2 month hiatus) if youre interested in learning more. Also, i cant see youtube messages, youre better off just replying here if you have questions. Great video as always! 💗
Glad I started to know about him
They played the movie last year at my local cinema for it’s 35th anniversary. Packed cinema with a lotta kids there. Everyone was very reactive. Terrific cinematic experience. A perfect movie.
Nice episode mate! Hands down, my most loved film ever. To make a sequel/prequel in this day and age would be sacrilege. Thanks for ya content 👍🏻
Perfect timing, because I literally bought a Blu-Ray/DVD 25th Anniversary copy of Who Framed Roger Rabbit yesterday!
Yes this Is a great Movie and your right a sequel would of not worked for this film. I'm glad that Never happened. I think as I get older I will Never get sick of this movie and I will love it even more when I get older. And yes "Dead Toons Don't Pay Bills"!!! Lol Great job again Mr. MINTY!!!!
If they ever did finally pull the trigger on a sequel, I think they should stick with the 2D animation... It just feels right for the world and the character to me.
One of my favorite childhood movies period and I love watching it but it's so hard to watch it now without being happy or laugh at The funny parts..
Hey Minty. Maybe the Tom and Jerry type scenes you are thinking about could be from the John Ritter movie "Stay Tuned"? For a long time I also thought the scenes were from Who framed Roger rabbit until I did some searching and realized I had parts of the movies mixed up lol. Maybe you could do an episode on Stay Tuned as it is also a nostalgic movie. Either way keep it up man I love this channel!!
The one line from that film I will always remember and definitely surprise that didn't get Disney in hot trouble will be Sylvester saying "He's no p*ssy!"
Well it is Touchstone pictures, which did release Adventures in Babysitting that had 2 F Bombs. 🧐
I was surprised to learn about this being filmed at Ellstree Studios. This was where Top Of The Pops was filmed throughout the '90s, having moved from it's longstanding previous home the BBC Television Centre.
I can recall playing another Disney feature film scored by Alan Silvestri, Flight of the Navigator, for my mentor, a traditionalist classical/jazz musician. When I told him Silvestri had assembled the Flight of the Navigator score completely on a Synclavier II, my mentor insisted he couldn’t take Silvestri seriously as a composer unless he heard one of Silvestri’s scores made only with traditional orchestral instrumentation. It’s April 2024 as I comment. It’s been nearly 15 years since that guy passed away, and one major regret is that I didn’t also show him Who Framed Roger Rabbit. *That* Alan Silvestri score would almost immediately have appealed to his traditionalism, even if he didn’t relate to the story itself.
Minty, you definitely should do an episode of Cool World (1992) with Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger. It’s a live action/animated just like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but a lot more f,…. up and adult.
My aunt rented it and it freaked me out as a child 😅
Pretty sure he's already done cool world.
@@joshuagibson2520 if he has, please link it. I can’t find it.
This is one of my favorite movies
You missed that the animator for Roger was also working on a HUGE project called The Theif and Cobbler. Sadly the production went into crisis because of Roger Rabbit, and also Disney wasn't kind and added unneeded musical numbers to the movies. Roger Rabbit as amazing as it was put the animator under
My dad took me to see Roger Rabbit when it came out...I absolutely love this movie....very clever the way it was blended with real life and animation
Honestly who framed roger rabbit is a movie that doesn't need a sequel, I think that one movie is enough like nightmare before christmas
Idk why but I feel this movie is underrated a good bit. Such a masterpiece
Thank you once again, Minty. I absolutely adore this film.
Super7 ReAction currently has the Roger Rabbit line of 3.75 inch action figures available. Ridiculously priced between $18-$23 depending where you buy.
@Richard Mark still better then the 40th Anniversary He-man 4 figures for $150. Not to mention Ghost Rider with the car for a whopping $350. 🤔🧐💵🤷
Is one of my favorite movies of all time I wish they would release the unedited or director's cut version But with 4K and Dolby atmos... Actually spend some good quality time with it
I actually think the closest we get to a sequel, go with me on this, is the recent Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers movie. Animation with live action, crime drama, lots of jokes and callbacks to whatever they wanted, and doesn't hurt to have an actual cameo from Roger Rabbit himself. Prove me wrong on this, or that's my head canon forever.
...great episode Minty!! Can I share? Imagine it, early 90's, a lil boy I cant remember the age and his brothers huddled under a blanket that is connected to an AC unit because its summer and its hot. Basically an AC balloon. We have our heads peeking out from under it to view our television set thats 30 inches across and 40 inchs deep, laughing an intrigued by what is Roger Rabbit. Wonderful memories.
watch Roger Rabbit all the time all these universal and Disney. Toon Characters
Before Cool World, Space Jam, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Space Jam 2: A New Legacy, and the new 2022 Chip and Dale film, there was Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
To this day I don't know why WFRR had no sequel. WFRR made money and is beloved by children then now and future. And is a cult classic.
i enjoyed your video Minty, Great info and detail.THANK YOU!
