I live in Los Angeles and a few years back they did a 30th anniversary showing of Roger Rabbit at the El Capitan theater in Hollywood. They had said a couple of guys from the production would be there and talk about the movie. What was surprising is when they asked "how many of you here worked on the movie?" and this was small theater. 30% of the room raised their hand, they surrounded us. And i was in awe that i was a part of this moment honoring this artistic achievement that these people all contributed to. These people created one of my childhood movies and it was unreal being in one of the few places they'd all be together again. It was beautiful.

I also like how other girls are jealous of Jessica. When Betty Boop says, "what a lucky guirel" but it makes sense. If you are a cartoon, marrying the most ridiculously funny one would be the status symbol. 😂 ❤ I do wish there were more scenes of them together, but the whole "I'll make you a carrot cake" and his goofy giggle. Made me laugh. And of course when Eddie thinks Jessica is running to him, only for her to be running to her husband 😂 so funny. Gah I love that movie lol

I'm such a Roger Rabbit stan. So many people today don't even realize the impact of this film and its place in film and animation history. An entire theme park area of Disney was going to be dedicated to this stand alone film. In the 90s, Disney put Roger front and center as part of the "fab 5" with Mickey and the gang. I think movies of the 80s and 90s still hold up today because everything was "real" as practical effects versus today and everything being CGI. Even the best CGI today is obviously fake to the human eye. I hope new generations will discover and fall in love with Roger.

Totally agree. I grew up going to Toon Town at Disneyland and so did my daughter. I have the absolute BEST memories of that place from my own childhood as well as my daughters. They really really did everyone a disservice by closing it. I actually haven't been back since they did as I moved out of the state shortly after and I have no desire to visit whatever is there now. Toon town will always be a favorite place for me, even at my ripe old age of 40. It was like legit becoming a cartoon. Best place in Disneyland imo. ETA - I JUST FOUND OUT THEY DIDNT END UP SHUTTING TOON TOWN DOWN!!!!! Omg!!!! I am completely shocked and surprised I didn't know this. Okay... I will DEFINITELY be going back to Disneyland now when I go back to ca to visit family!!! I am legit so exited!!!

To add a bit for it, another factor why Zemeckis didn't moved forward with the first pitch for Roger Rabbit is probably due to the fact that Ron Miller and Disney rejected his Back to the Future pitch for being to "raunchy" for them (they objected Lorraine having the hots for Marty), while other studios thought the script was too "innocent". No wonder Bob decided to do it with Spielberg and Universal after Romancing the Stone.

As one who got to go to WDW and MGM studios at the time, I got to see The Acme Factory, the dip machine, and got my picture with Rodger Rabbit. I was about 5 or so at the time. Also I got to go to the animation building in the park. Where they were creating Rollercoaster Rabbit. We got to watch them up close seeing some of the frames being created. This by far was the most memorable moment for me. I cherish it today and really still watch Who Framed Rodger Rabbit and the shorts every few years. Still one of my top favorite movies. :3

_Who Framed Roger Rabbit?_ is such a great film that even the author surprisingly loved it that he actually made a sequel that tied to the film by retconning the events from the original book. Plus, the film revolutionised the animation/live action hybrid genre, regardless that Robert Zemeckis (same director behind Back To The Future) hated the idea of it.

How is this for being "that guy": _Who Framed Roger Rabbit_ does not have a question mark in the title. It's frequently said that this is because there was traditionally a Hollywood superstition that a movie with a question mark in the title would flop. (Obviously they have gotten over it in recent years.) The closest I could find to actual corroboration is a New York Times letter to the editor back during its theatrical run (replying to an article musing about the missing question mark) stating that the letter writer had asked Zemeckis about it, who had said he had one until the studios removed it, claiming that movie titles do not have punctuation. A skeptical Zemeckis mentioned Airplane! but apparently the die was cast. Anyway I guess we'll never know.

I met Richard Williams when I attended his Animation Masterclass back in 1997 in Denmark. He did tell his fascinating story about his lifelong passion the Thief and the Cobbler, and also (not mentioned in this documentary) that he used to be a Television Service Tech (which is kinda funny, because I was that too before I became an animator). However, rest in peace Mr. Williams, a stubborn genious that I remember for pointing out that Preston Blair (the DeFacto animation book) had a missing frame in the skip section and bouncing ball principle, kinda funny little tidbit there that most people who read this comment, never ever will - even get, but it's funny to those who where there, you know who you are.

We used to joke about that in Animation school, and who could "spot" it and find it when we watched movies we were into.

The year Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out, I was obsessed. I was a freshman in high school and I took a Roger plush when I went on a singing tour with my church choir. While on tour I found Who Censored Roger Rabbit at a bookstore, and I read it under the disapproving eye of the grown-ups (who were very suspicious of it). I agree that the movie was much more fun than the book, and at the time I was blown away by how many characters were put into the movie. The scene with Donald and Daffy's dueling pianos and Bugs and Mickey parachuting in Toontown were heaven for a lifelong animation nut like me. I did NOT know Bob Hoskins was an Englishman for years!

Man you're timing in this is really something. Somehow on KZfaq I've been finding "react" videos of people watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the first time and being completely stunned that the film came out in the nineteen eighties and wondering "How did they do this?" for getting the cartoons and real life actors integrated into the same scene. Honestly I too have been wondering that as well and I'm surprised that even back then someone had the presence of mind to do behind the scenes documentary filming showing how it was done. The amount of background research leading into this film is pretty incredible. --Mozdoc

It makes sense when you think about how Disney was both aimed at entertaining American families and made by someone who had an American family. Nothing shocking, a good amount of fluff for the kids and some witty jokes to entertain parents, but the bad guys were people who went against the status quo, societal norms, some like Captain Hook, Cruella DeVille characters coded as gay stereotypes. Characters who were willing to kill, lie and cheat for money like the aristocats butler and Pinocchio's pleasure islands managers having ambitions commonly seen as "Jewish" while good Christian businessmen were depicted as "kind employers, generous, understanding, willing to put profit aside for their neighbors." And we know it's some bullshit, but the cold war was on and going against this idea would put you in so many crosshairs, first and foremost would be whoever led the company.

one of my favorite scenes in the movie about 25 minutes in is in Eddie's office when he is looking at the photos he developed and sees the ones with Delores and his brother than a minute we are given so much exposition about the entertainment and showbiz dreams of Eddie and his brother, their father being a Ringling Bros circus clown,their work from beat cops and their work with Toons as Private Eyes. He used to love toons, and working to help them, and had a great relationship with Dolores which ended when Judge Doom as his toon form murdered his brother. It informs so much about him and his pain losing someone he loved like his brother and the joy of performing and the romance with Delores to the tragedy of his drinking and self imposed isolation. All this exposition without a single word spoken, something that Zemeckis also did in Back To The Future, letting the camera inform the audience. And then, near the end of the movie he remembers that joy of performing and "tooning" later to kill the Weasels with laughter and comedy, he finds his happiness again with the help of Roger. And then the kiss at the end he gives Roger. He has found his new lease on life. Its wonderful

I agree. I hate that I have things like washing machines to do my laundry instead of going out to the stream and beat it with a rock, and that I have things like microwaves and ovens to cook my food instead of carefully gathering firewood and roasting everything slowly outside on even the coldest nights. The problem isn't CGI came in and ruined everything, modern advances are made off of the struggles of the past. They did this sort of thing then because the technology wasn't there, and they don't have to do it again because it does. And even today, those CGI hybrids STILL need puppeteers and guys in suits and rubber dolls for the actors to focus on. They just have less work cut out for them. That's why this thing was magical. They had to be innovative at the time, while those who wanted to do something similar learned from them until they developed technology to take as much of the burden of production as possible. It's just not nearly as interesting.

Have fans of this movie thought about having their *own* toons? (especially ones who weren’t in the first movie, way back in the summer of 1988)
