This film was a true once in a lifetime moment where by some strange twist of fate all the stars aligned and Disney, Warner Brothers, MGM, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox and Kings Feature Syndicate all came to an agreement to feature all their major cartoon characters in the exact same feature

This was one of the last (and greatest) projects that the great *Mel Blanc* worked on. He was the original voice of all the great Warner Bros. cartoon characters, like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, etc. since the 1930s. It also used *Mae Questel* who was the original voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl.

This is one of my top 5 movies. It still amazes me that a movie from 1988 that has hand drawn interactions with the actors and environments looks more realistic than nearly all the CGI movies that have come out in the last 20 years.

Judge Doom is the most terrifying kind of psychopath; he knows that he makes everyone around him feel uncomfortable, and he thrives on that uneasiness.

One of the greatest animation/live action combo in the history of film 👏💯 anyone who watches Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the first time is in for a fun ride!

My mom took me to see this at the Drive-In theater when I was 5 yrs old. I remember she fell asleep, so I let her nap while I watched the second showing. LOL She woke up and it was like 11pm!

After years of watching this and Super Mario Bros, I finally heard Bob Hoskins' natural speaking voice in the late 90s...and my head exploded.

As a kid I just loved watching the movie for it's wackiness. As an adult it's just as fun watching it but also mind blowing seeing all these iconic animated characters in one movie.

The actors had to take mime class to work on acting with things that weren't there because all that hand drawn animation was added after. Thats why this movie took 3 years to make.

Viki and Lia I believe that both you and along with Michelle and Ellie already have reacted to Mae Questel, who voiced Betty Boop, (Back and White toon talking to Eddie at the bar). Mae's last movie was National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and she plays Aunt Betheny (Clark's Aunt)

Ground-breaking special effects and choreography. The film should be required viewing for all students of animation and film making.

You're quite correct about how hard this movie was to make. To this day, animators are in awe of this movie. The scene in the secret room in particular. Bumping the lamp, and it swinging back and forth involved so much extra effort to get the shadows right with the animation combined with real life.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was always one of my early 90's childhood favorites on my old VHS tape!😃🤣

As a lifelong fan of animation I loved this movie and saw it twice opening weekend. A brilliant piece of work

Viki, that wasn’t Uncle Scrooge. That was *Donald Duck* 🦆

I loved this movie so much when I was a kid. 7:12 Lia, that was Betty Boop. 27:15 That was Droopy, not Snoopy. 30:55 That's Christopher Lloyd. He played Uncle Fester in The Addams Family.

When you said it was a lot of work, you ain't kidding! As you said: this was before CGI. Every single animated element was hand-painted in the cell animation style. Added to that old-school style, they included airbrushed shadows for a more realistic 3-D feeling, that interacted with the lights. That scene in the hiding room, where the overhead lamp was swinging back and forth: the lights and shadows on Roger matched that swinging light. That was a feat in itself!! All of the practical props that 'toons interacted with (guns, glasses, handcuffs, etc) had to be controlled by mechanical means on set, which the animators would later paint over. The actors had to interact with thin air. One of the things that gave Bob Hoskins (Eddie Valiant) an edge in his casting was his ability to cross his eyes, seeming to focus on something right in front of his face that wasn't really there. (For years I assumed that was his real voice, until I heard him with his native British accent. He played this part so well!! He's a tremendous actor, if you check out his other body of work!). The cartoon taxi was really a tiny little working car, sort of like a go-kart; it still exists and still runs! (On Disney plus there's a show about props in films; one episode is about this film, if you want to check out some behind the scenes stuff!) This was not the first nor the last time that human characters and animated characters interacted. That has been done since the very beginning of the moving picture and animation, even in the silent days, up through complex CGI characters in films today. But in most folks' opinion (including mine), this is the single best full feature length film to seamlessly include animated and real-world elements throughout the whole of the film. It was never done to this extent before, and honestly I don't think it will ever be done as well again. (There was a Chip and Dale movie that came out a couple years ago that I think was trying for a similar feeling, but though it was amusing enough, it did not successfully capture the feeling of Roger Rabbit. It came close in many respects, but not quite.). In some ways, the technical achievements of CGI have made things TOO realistic. The era this was made (1980s), and the era in which it was set (1940s), were all about that hand-drawn, cell animation. It had a magic all its own. -My 2¢

Fun fact: Danny Devito, Tom Hanks, John Goodman, and Harrison Ford were considered to play Eddie Valiant. All of them collaborated with director Robert Zemeckis in other movies he made.

7:50 To Toons in this world, humour is *far* more attractive than physical appearance. Roger's one of the funniest cartoons in Toontown so he's seen as highly desirable, that's why *Jessica* is considered to be the lucky one in the relationship.

🤓👍 The first and only time in history that Disney, Warner Brothers, Paramount, MGM and Universal cartoon characters all appeared together in one film (unlike "Space-Jam" which was a Warner Brothers film, and thus contained nothing but Loony Tunes characters).

1. First time I saw this was in the middle of the ocean. My ship (USS Tripoli LPH-10) was doing a "Tiger Cruise". That's where crew members could bring "male only" family/friends to join us from Hawaii to San Diego. There were displays set up in the hanger bay. For entertainment there was an area to watch movies. This was one of them. 2. There had to be equal time for Disney and HB characters. 3. LOVE the adult inuendo😈 4. Christopher Lloyd as the heavy. 😎 5. One of the cartoon bullets is the voice of Pat Buttram. He played Mr. Haney on Green Acres. 6. This was Mae Questel's/Betty Boops third to last gig. Her last was" Christmas Vacation". (RIP)😇 7. The tunnel going into Toon Town is the same one they use in the "Back to the Future" movies. 8. Favorite character is the Baby🤣

Re: Harvey the invisible rabbit That's a nice little easter egg for the comedy Harvey (1950), starring James Stuart & his dear friend Harvey (a pooka/spirit), well actually it's a play, but the film is obviously more accessible.

Look at the list of movies, Director Robert Zemeckis made. The most memorable, and quotable films of the 80's (Back To The Future), and 90's ( Forest Gump), and when 2000's came, people leaving the theater yelling "Wilson!" (Cast Away).

The Toontown elevator operator is Droopy, originally voiced by Bill Thompson, here he's voiced by the film's animation director Richard Williams.

yes, patty-cake is a children's game you play with your hands, of course. the double entendre goes right over children's heads

This movie is so great, its timeless in my opinion. Loved yalls reaction to this, your smiles were so big lmao 🤣. The dog in the elevator, his name is droopy.

I'm glad you ladies got to see this classic look at animation mixed with live action!🙂Both Viki & Lia look lovely and make a great team!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

In watching this, I noticed some of the outdoor driving scenes were filmed only a few miles from where I live. It still looks pretty much the same.

It's a pity that producer Steven Spielberg wasn't able to get all the Hollywood 'toons that existed in 1947 to appear in this, as he originally wanted... among the notable missing are Tom & Jerry, Felix the Cat, Casper the Friendly Ghost and the Fleischers' version of Superman.

Who framed Rodger rabbit is one of the greatest classics of all time 💯

The about in the when the guy is asked if you've seen a rabbit and he says say hello harvey. Thats refference to a Jimmy Stewart movie "Harvey". Its about this guys best friend thats a giant pink bunny who is invisible to everyone but him. Very funny.

The magic is you don't see the divide between real and toon and all before CGI was the thing. It's an incredible work.

U girls made a great film even greater; bravo 🎉❤ btw: Christopher Lloyd here plays Dr Doom and The Doc in Back / Furture trilogy 😊

Believe or not, this is the first and only film to mix live-action with animation that won 3 Oscars.

And remember girls, that this movie was made in 1988 and used ZERO CGI. All the animation was _hand-drawn_ after the live-action had been shot and optically composited together with it in post-production. Quite apart from how entertaining it is, the film is also a wonderful tribute to, and swan song for, the old 'craft' of hand-drawn animation.

Harvey is a very old movie where a man saw an invisible rabbit. That is why the man said “say hello… Harvey”

This movie is to appeal to both kids & adults so when they're playing patty-cake & you hear the noises adults that sex but with kids pattycake is just patty-cake

27:06 That's Droopy. Easy to remember because his ears and face are drooping.

Zero CGI here... this is 100 percent hand made

If you like criminal investigation movies, try Dark City. Film noir with a MAJOR twist. Use the director's cut.

What an amazing salute to animation....too bad Hollywood can't make films like this anymore. Love your review, gals!! Keep us toons workin!

The dog character in the elevator is Droopy Dog.

There's a theory that the cartoon shoe who was squeaking to Judge Doom that it was his shoe and he dipped it so no one would know that he was a toon.

Droopy is the elevator dog. He's so fun to imitate.

It's one of those movies that always puts you in a good mood

That little toon shoe that was dipped probably had a mate

34:40 "Is he a cartoon?" 😯 "Whaatt?" 😮

This was my favorite movie as a kid

Bob Hoskins, the actor that played Eddie Valiant got the silent treatment from his kids after the movie released. They were mad that he didn't let them meet Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny.

When a reaction shows up, my eyes always goes towards Vikki only ❤❤❤

There are a few short cartoon skits featuring Roger and Jessica during.

To all in this movie who are no longer with us, kudos and tnx.

Harvey is a classic film about a Pookah, an invisible rabbit that only the main character can see; hence the joke about Harvey being right next to him. Also, the underlaying theme of the public transportation in LA being bought out and liquidated by private companies is true to life. :( Also, also, the elevator dog was Droopy, so Snoopy isn’t far off.

I love Vicky ❤ A hug huge from Lima-Perú 👍👍👍

30:46 "Caramba!" spicy 🌶️🥰

11:51 These are all types of paint thinner.

One of Robert Zemeckis finest works.

Not sure of anyone said it but. The Snoopy like dog is called Droopy Dog.

Judge doom is still the most scary and crazy villain in film history 😂

The dog in the elevator is named droopy. For anyone still wondering.

I'm from Korea - I recommend the Korean movie 마이웨이(My Way). Please post your reaction. I enjoy it every time This happened during the Japanese colonial period before the Korean War.

Very nearly 200K subs! Congrats!

One of the most legendary movies of all time 😂😂😂😂😂😍😍😍😍

OK, so who’ll be the first Homie girl to cosplay as Jessica? 😉

Oh man the childhood memories. Growing up watching this movie I wished we could live side by side with toons. That way I could've hangout with my favorite cartoon characters like Doug funny and so many others. You guys should react to A goofy movie next. You'll have some laughs, a heartwarming story and hear some great songs. Oh at 27:10 that's droopy

This and Cool World are my favorite live action animation movies. 😊❤

It's funny; If they had not made Short Circuit, the animatronics for this movie would not have been possible. You guys should check out that movie, you will love it right up with Wall-E.

Awwwwwww you two were too damn cute watching this movie. I have loved this movie ever since seeing as a child. Seeing y'alls reaction to it made my day. If you two ever get a chance you should watching the Roger Rabbit cartoon shorts that came out around the same time as the movie. I have always wanted there to be a squeal or prequel and there were talks about them doing another one after this one but never did come to that. Oh well. This is a classic and I'll always cherish it. Can't wait to watch more of these movie reactions.

The judge was a cartoon character called Baron von nasty you can look him up he was an evil tune he always played a villain but then he believed he was the villain

The old cartoons we're the best! be great to see you guys watch Tom and Jerry, Popeye and the Flintstones

One of my favorite comedy movies from the late '80s.

Fun fact : When Eddie came out of the bathroom he was drawn on as a pig cop. So he was using turpentine to wash the pig off of him. You won’t see that on the film normally. It’s in the bonus deleted scene of the dvd.

Best movie when I was a kid!

27:12 That one's name is Droopy.

this movie is my childhood movie.

You should have had Ellie along for this one! The cartoon animation in the 30s, 40s, and 50s had a lot more work put into them. There were more Frames Per Second, so the animated characters moved more smoothly. In cartoons made now, I swear only the mouths move.

This is one of my favorites and you two look lovely as always 🔥🔥

This originally was supposed to Star Eddie Murphy

The white little dog in the elevator is not Snoopy. The little white dog is droopy from looney tunes.

I saw this in theaters when I was 7. Freaky ending.

Elevator operator = Droopy Dog.

Droopy was the dog in the elevator. And that was a great reaction I love your vid’s!

Timeless classic

Harvey (1950) was another movie with a rabbit. 🐰

It's not Snoopy, it's Droopy. You were close, great review of a all time classic film. :)

Great reaction ladies.

For another live action with animation you could watch Cool World. Unfortunately it is not as cute as this one but still an investigation one.

No Toon can resist doing "Shave and a haircut....Two bits!" It's a classic call & response song line from very old American cartoons and song and dance shows. "Two bits" is a quarter (25 cents) in old American slang. When the judge rapped out the call "Shave and a haircut", Roger couldn't resist busting out and singing, "TWO BITS!" Here is a really good video on the history of the classic jingle: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ar1jlrOE09rRcp8.html

I love watching reactors that are not only younger than me, but also from a former Communist European country, who recognize most, if not all, of the cartoon characters in this movie. It puts a big smile on my face.

nostalgic film of my childhood, thanks 😃😃

I remember when “cool world”came out a few years later. One of brad pitts first movies. Wasn’t as well received as this but still a fun watch

27:00: That’s *Droopy Dog*

It's not Snoopy, it's Droopy Dog.

11:29 Viki looks the weasel’s face lol 😝

Poor baby. I'd cry, too if I lost my cigar.

I am writing this to help out the homies and this video and this channel with the algorithm ♥️✌️😘😊

The dog attending the elevator was Droopy Dog. He was an MGM property.

the dog in elevator is Droopy

10:40 "My biscuits!"

This movie is largely an homage to “cloverleaf” a film that was supposed to be a sequel to “Chinatown” and “the two Jake’s” about the corruption of the California auto industry when they bought and destroy public transportation on the west coast.
