Fun fact. that was the original voice actress, Mae Questel, who voiced betty boop in this movie. So that bit with betty asking if she still had it and eddie saying that she did was extra wholesome!!!!

The fact that this movie is even able to exist is incredible.

I love how the author retconned his own book because he really liked Jessica being completely head over heels in love with Roger instead of being indifferent to him like in the book

Donald and Daffy basically *had* to have a collab. The agreement the producers got from the rival studios was they could only use characters as long as their rivals counterpart didn't get more lines or screentime. Hence why Donald and Daffy have a 50 : 50 banter, and why Bugs and Mickey appear together.

Surprised Kor didn't mention the fact that, with Jessica Rabbit it's not just the fact that she's detailed as far as how integrated she is into the real world, but the animators apparently made her waist so skinny so that they could prove they didn't rotoscope her.

As a children, you relate to rabbit, but as a adulterer, you relate to drunk.

4:30 They hint at it in the movie, but flat out explain it in the book. Appearance means almost nothing to toons, because they can look like anything. Status, now that means something. The toons don't consider Jessica to be a slam dunk like we would, they consider Roger to be the catch. This is because Roger is from a highly profitable gag cartoon, and Jessica is a pin-up girl. Imagine an A-List actor marrying a stripper and you've got an idea how they see it.

I saw this movie all the time as a little kid. And then when I rewatched it as an older teen I said "WHO THE HELL LET ME WATCH THIS AS A KID!?"

18:34 its actually one of the more impressive moments of 'show don't tell' this movie does. In the establishing shot of his office desk (which the transition from night to day was all done with practical effects with no cuts OMG) its established both he and his brother grew up in the circus which is why he can juggle, do flips, and why he and his brother initially got along so well with toons.

Fun Fact: The novel version of Roger was an absolute monster. Also the book was entirely about figuring out who murdered Roger.

Fun fact: The animation director of this movie was Richard Williams, who I know is also the creator of his unfinished masterpiece film, The Thief and the Cobbler

Another fun fact about this movie: Judge Doom was written to be the hunter that killed Bambi's mom! Even though that backstory wasn't brought to the screen, there's also nothing that says otherwise, so I choose to believe it's still a fact.

"Is this allowed?" Actually, the collab is precisely why it was allowed. Contractually, the Warner Bros. and Disney characters had to have the same amount of screen time, and this was easiest accomplished by putting them in the same scenes.

Kor's knowledge of the movie is really fun to listen and so is both him and Jack's reaction to Eden's shock of a movie for kids talking/showing heavy stuff

This is the film that the Chip and Dale movie wishes it was. Imagine a sequel where Roger interviews a variety of cartoon characters from the 1990’s to 2020’s

I love that Kor’s a resident “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” production expert. The niche I never knew I needed

4:56 apparently the actors prepping for this movie, had lasting effects on their psyche. The actor playing Eddie Valiant was reported to have occasionally been found talking to 'Roger' well after this movie was released.

Siskel and Ebert both said that this movie represented an amazing step forward in special effects, and they couldn’t wait to see more movies like it. Which is so tragic when you realize like 2 other movies tried to do what Roger Rabbit did, with blending live action and 2D, and the most successful one was Space Jam.

The defenition of a Masterpiece, which unfortunately won't happen again, 12/10

Fun fact: the phrase "bumping the lamp", which means to put extra effort into the details of an animation, was coined by Disney employees working on the film, and eerives from the scen where Roger bumps the lamp in the secret room of Delores' workplace, and you can see the changing lighting on Roger, as the lamp goes back and forth.

9:51 Roger Rabbit actually originated from the book _Who Censored Roger Rabbit?_ as a comic strip character. Here, he's been reinvisioned as a Golden Age-era cartoon character.

indeed a masterpiece, basically revolutionized animation

The fact this movie was PG to begin with is insane in itself.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. The animations, the comedy, and the references are just one giant love letter to cartoon animation.

Too bad that companies hoard IPs and dont do anything good with them, seeing Disney and WB characters together was amazing.

This movie was lightly based on LA City and County forcing POC people out of their homes for freeways. My moms family was one of those displaced families 🙃

This is what the Chip n Dale Movie wanted to be

the animation of this movie is so impressive, especially for the time, still a classic

I can't decide who's luckier; Jessica, for having Roger or Roger, for having Jessica?

The fact they also aired this on cartoon Network is beyond me 💀

2:00 This is something I learned from Redlettermedia, but apparently the plot for Who Framed Roger Rabbit came from the fact that the movie Chinatown was originally going to be a trilogy, with the first focusing on the water wars, Two Jake's focusing on oil, but the third movie which never came would've focused on the phasing out of the public transit system and the introduction of highways.

This movie is an amazing mashup of Cartoons and Live-Action. Before Space Jam came along, this was the best one we got in the 80’s. It’s an absolute marvel.

"I'm going Awooga for the production values" This man is far more cultured than most.

I am totally with the Milk boys on this one. Sure, Jessica is pretty but the way the characters are depicted to interact with real world stuff is well done.

My uncle was an animator on this movie. We've got a still of Jessica and Roger hanging over the acid vat framed in my parents house.

Jessica Rabbit is easily the best character you can’t convince me otherwise

8:43 THIS SCENE, I don't even remember watching the movie but this part genuinely scarred me and has been vividly imprinted in my brain for years, I never knew where it was from til now 💀

Having binged the channel's recent The Looney Tunes Show videos, I'd really like for them to also check out Rabbits Run, a loosely related movie with similar writing and characterization as TLTS. And speaking of LT and Roger Rabbit, the deal between Disney and Warner to have both Bugs and Mickey appear on screen together was so specific and tight that they needed to have the exact same amount of screentime and dialogue. Insane stuff.

This movie is an absolute masterpiece of art that I feel that we may never get again.

13:21 "And I'll fucking do it again" had me dieing 😂😂😂😂

You are right, this movie had an undertone of race discrimination with places where toons cannot enter as patrons but as entertainers and servers only, being displaced by someone else by trying to have a highway go through their neighborhood, etc.

Roger Rabbit wasn't created for this movie, this is actually based off of a book by the same name, but with some differences in the overall plot. Funnily enough, the original author really like the movie and wrote a sequel book that incorporated some of the things that where used in the movie. Also the biggest rule of this movie when it came to using the Warner and Disney Toons was that they each had to have the same amount of screen time so that one company didn't overtake the other.

@11:34 Kor: "our entire career is thirsting over cartoon characters, have we ever thought twice about that and consider that maybe we have made many mistakes in our lives?" Jack: "NO!" Lol! I just love how Jack INSTANTLY says "hell no! I have NO regrets thirsting over cartoon characters!" 😂

18:47 "A clever balls joke" 💀

18:13 *Ghost Stories dub intensifies*

I watched roger rabbit as a kid lot of the sexual innuendos went over my head. But i loved this movie it was amazing and the murder mystery with wavky toons. And the scary parts which had me closing my eyes and squirming. I love who framed Roger rabbit. I thought roger rabbit was just a really old cartoon i never saw even though i saw looney tunes, tom and jerry and Disney cartoons 😂 😂

Man, this movie was WAY too ahead of its time. It still holds up to this day.

Jack with an orange afro is something i never knew i needed today😂

holy shit when he said "remember when I killed your brother" that unlocked so many memories for me I used to love this movie as a kid and I only remembered that I ever used to watch it at the end of the video

Jessica Rabbit walked, so Lola Bunny could run.

Fun fact: They were originally going to have Tim Currey be Judge Doom, but the directors thought he was too scary.

4:45 Pretty sure Bob Hoskins did start hallucinating some things for a bit because of how immersed he was. RIP to the legend.

Fun fact: tim curry originally auditioned for judge doom.

The fact that that he wanted to find the uncensored shot is crazy

Fun fact: the animation director from Roger Rabbit, Richard Williams, only worked on this film for Disney bc they made a deal with him to help fund his passion project and magnum opus, The Thief and The Cobbler. Disney ended up reneging on their deal which left Williams pretty broke bc he worked on the film while taking big pay cuts bc he thought they would keep their promise and invest in his project. Unfortunately, the film was never finished before Williams passed away. There’s also a possibility Disney stole creatively from the aesthetics and characters of Thief and The Cobbler to create Aladdin. There’s no concrete proof of this but what’s kind of telling is that Disney acquired the rights to the unfinished film years later, through a shell company called Miramax, and released a bastardized cut of the film. Needless to say they heavily altered the film and the og vision of Williams, added songs, etc and it was a critical and commercial failure. Coupled with the fact that Disney was obviously aware of Cobblers production long before production on Aladdin began, makes you wonder 👀

The entire part of the movie that comes after Judge Doom getting rolled over gave me the WORST nightmares as a kid. First time, I sprinted from the room screaming and crying. Second time, I got through it, but was traumatized. And since then, even as an adult, I panic. This movieeee was not for kids LOL

This movie is so iconic and so good for the time it was made, it’s amazing how they were able to create this with their use of animation

The second I got Disney+, this was the first thing I watched. It's phenomenal

This movie was a lightning strike. You will never see anything close to what it achieved happen ever again.

I think its impossible to not like this movie. Even if you somehow found a way to not like the story, you'd still have to marvel at the craftsmanship it took to make this movie possible.. Shit, the movie is still better animated than like 80% of the stuff put out today and it was several decades behind in technology. ❤

14:06 "The Toons are kinda an underprivileged people" This is meant to be an allegory for vaudeville; The Marginalized Group can only find work in entertainment. Considering that a lot of the OG toons like Bimbo the Dog and Felix the Cat were modeled after the blackface characters from Minstrel Shows, It is not an unfounded allegory.

i wish they did more movies like this with 2d characters irl it looks so cool i know there's the CGI characters now but it doesn't hit the same as the literal cartoon characters coming off set as they are into reality

In the original book, Roger rabbit was based off of the tunes were used as an allegory for how the African American community was treated at the time The film took place, and elements of that still translate into the film.

There has never been another movie like this, and from all the attempts we've had so far, there will probably never will be another like it. This was done by hand, with cell animations and stage tricks. The closest they came to CGI was overlaying the loghting, which is what I think makes this movie so unique. Cartoons and live action have bern blended before, but never this seamlessly.

Jessica rabbit never fails to make me spill my milk

0:58 we’re not even a minute in and Kor’s already saying some wild statements

i had this movie recorded back in the day and i would rewatch it constantly. didn't understand most of the themes but i liked the animations....and Jessica Rabbit.

Haven't seen it yet but when Jessica rabbit shows up they're gonna scream "WOAHHHH"

I watched this movie a few months ago and was surprised at how well it held up! Definitely a great movie with some surprisingly funny moments and I'm glad you guys watched it!

You can tell Kor is really passionate about animation!

I was 12 and still got a bit traumatized by this movie (only when the villain revealed he was a cartoon with the eyes) but its so GOOD my mom saw it on Netflix and was like "were making popcorn you have to see this movie

This film was the last time Mel Blanc would voice any of the Looney Tunes characters. He would die a year later in 1989. Blanc's final role was voicing "Spacey Sprocket" in _Jetsons: The Movie (1990)_

There is a version where they use a mannequin of Roger rabbit for every scene he is in order for the animators to know what actions is he doing and how to animate Roger in the finalized version, so basically they made the movie two times. Also there is one deleted scene where the detective already went to toon town to confront the villain and he had a big pig animated head, which explains the shower scene and makes you feel, something happened in between

Its amazing how these animators were able to animate Jessica Rabbit with one hand!

This was my childhood movie, i'm Happy i grew Up with this.

What’s funny is I grew up watching this when I was small bean, because my grandpa helped made this and other movies and when he passed he gave me Disney movie stuff including a magnifying glass and a roger drawing from this movie, glad you guys are reviewing this movie thank you for the fun

There is a spiritual sequel to this called "Bonkers". You guys should watch it.

Yknow everyone talks about getting older and realizing all the time-specific metaphors going on in the movie (tearing up old neighborhoods for "modern" highways, the toons are basically a segregated minority trying to get by in a Hollywood that won't take them seriously/typecast them and live in a ghetto --weirdly adorable as it is-- they dont even own, etc) but I've always been more disturbed by the idea mentioned by Herman right at the beginning of the movie. The idea because Toons are "designed" (don't think too hard about the logic) they have an inherent nature they can't deviate from. Herman can't help falling into baby habits. Roger isn't being intentionally obnoxious; he *literally* can't resist stupid gags and potential comedic timing. It makes the scene where Jessica tries to explain that to Eddie, which he totally misses and turns into a joke, kinda depressing now; for Jessica she's not just a metaphor for sultry actresses who aren't taken seriously because of who they play, she literally can't NOT do things in an excessively flirty way. ...And also funnier shit like pattycake actually BEING pattycake cause that's 1) funnier 2) these are still "mainstream" cartoon characters so they probably don't get the concept of sex.

This movie's ahead of its time.

4:16 i have known about this movie forever now and didnt even know that, and i googled it and now i regret that "roger rabbit betty boop nip slip" is apart if my search history, there was also a uncolored frame of jessuca rabbits nip slip

What is this? Making a movie with references CAN be a good idea as long as they don't shove it down our throats and the main characters are just as enjoyable as finding the cameos in the first place? Spielberg could never

he's an obvious villain now, but as a kid thats just how a lot of adults looked and acted

5:38 This was back when pg really ment parent gurdian approval, it was basically pg 13

19:20 I feel like it could get away with being called the *symbolic press*

Such a classic because Disney can do adult movies like Pretty Woman. Whats mind boggeling was that it took over 7 years to create! ❤

And we will never ever see a well animated cartoon ever again. Thanks Disney.

4:10 always liked that scene since to him she will always be famous to him even if most of the others forgotten her and look towards other newer toons.

I must say, considering how this is based off a book (Who Censored Roger Rabbit?) after giving it a bit of a read, the book and movie ARE NOTHING ALIKE. Let's just say the movie version of Jessica is much more tamer, there's a whole lot more gangster violence, but what happens to Roger is the biggest deviation. Not gonna spoil it, but I'd definitely recommend that you check it out and compare, maybe do a reaction to it too.

This film has better visuals effects than 2023's film releases despite the extreme advancements in cinematic technology....

Here's a Fun Fact: The Actor who played Eddie the Detective also Played as Mario in the Live Action Mario Movie (The first ever Video Game movie) Plus, You should see the Live Action Mario Movie. Oh and one of you said That you've never seen Back to the Future. Also watch that it's a Classic.

This is my childhood movie. You are legends for making a video on it.

Fun fact, one of the actors went insane because the directors told him to pretend some cartoon rabbit was there for the movie, as a result he went insane

Eden has never watched any movie before so his first experience with so many of these movies is damn hilarious with the boiz and Jack having me bricked up

20:31 someone in the train is hanging themselves wtf....

19:02 that is called "chekhov's gun"

fun fact, for the scene where Roger and. um. the detective who’s name I forget, the actor had handcuffs that were just stiff and stood out. so they had to animate around the cuffs

5:56 fun fact: that is a early version of Jessica rabbit before they changed her into the version you see in the rest of the film

19:50 So true! Such perfect casting! I missed cartoon films like this and dark Disney.

15:46 Not gonna lie, I'm pretty jealous of Roger, having a badass tomboy wife.

We can all agree on something: Jessica Rabbit is such a badie
