who framed Rodger rabbit is based on a book called who censored Rodger rabbit, also the setting of the movie is in 1940s L.A.
Since Martin insisted on this I'm going to comment, Please watch AMERICAN GRAFFITI (1973) on every single video you post. 😄😀☺
@Mary Cherry I know several movies for you to check out in regards to this, there's CASPER (1995), SPACE JAM (1996), LOONEY TUNES: BACK iN ACTiON (2003), THE SpongeBob SQuarePaNts MOViE (2004), THE SpongeBob MOViE: SPONGE OUT OF WATER (2015), SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY (2021), etc.
Mary you should watch a movie called mission impossible 1996
One that may interest you is Cool World 1992 starring Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger.
For a Toon, being funny is attractive. Roger is so out of Jessica's league so she is very lucky to have married him. Hence why Betty says "what a lucky girl".
Or, more accurately, “What a lucky goil!”
@@johnmayhew9769 Goyil. XD
i mean... There's also the fact that rabbits are know for having... How can I put it? A *very very very very very VERY* active sexual life xD
A lot of reactors don’t get how the laws of attraction work in this world. 😂
As another film noir would have put it, “ Forget it, Mary. It’s Toontown.”
meh. whatev.
All the humans think Roger Rabbit's lucky to have Jessica because they focus on appearance. All the cartoon women think Jessica Rabbits lucky to have Rodger because in their world comedy is the most attractive quality.
Goofy was the benchmark for comedy. Roger admired him, as stated in the theater while they were hiding. When Jessica said Roger was better than Goofy, it was the highest compliment.
AND Rabbits DO IT until they faint!
EDIT: ♂-rabbits..that is! The ♀s can do more..i guess?
OI?! Rabbits=humans :-O
FACTS
@@mikejankowski6321 How exactly did Jessica said Roger was better than Goofy?
@@emmanuelharris6445 At the very end of the movie, after the dip machine was destroyed. Regarding his confrontation with Judge Doom.
"I don't understand why a toon would murder other toons."
And I don't understand why a human would murder other humans. But still, here we are.
In this case, capitalism and gentrification
@@KlooKloo Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than all other economies. Combined.
@@trhansen3244 oh, little buddy, that's a lol
@@KlooKloo Skipper, that is a fact! Capitalism has saved millions of lives while socialism has led to millions being massacred!
@@trhansen3244 oof as if capitalism hasnt led to millions being massacred as well...
Little known fact: Betty Boop’s voice was provided by the original actress from the 1930s, the legendary Mae Questel.
She also voiced Olive Oyl from Popeye.
Mae Questel also was in the movie “Christmas Vacation.” She played Aunt Bethany, the senile aunt.
As was Mel Blanc who did all the WB characters
@@PrincessSnowbelle Grace has been dead for years!
@@jonrazo7912 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For two weeks after this movie came out Bob Hoskins kids have been giving their father the silent treatment.
He asked them why they were so upset with him and they said they couldn’t believe their father met Bugs Bunny and the others and not take them to meet them too 😭😂😂😂
That's the most wholesome thing I've read in ages.
Aww.
@@mrandrews3616 I know, right?? And people have the gall to wonder why people have kids in the first place...
For your information, Roger is the Brad Pitt of Toontown, Jessica’s the one punching up
Brad Pitt . . I see what you did there 😏
That comment is cool...
Cool World
Brad Pitt lol, I understood that reference.
@@andre1999o Little on the nose.
@@CrackerJack06 Yeah, but I couldn't resist
When I was a kid, this movie blew my mind; not only for the technical artistry involved, but because it had Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny together in the same movie. For a little kid, that was akin to the first Avengers movie in 2012.
I remember my excitement as a kid when the "Superman vs. Spider-Man" comic came out in 1976. Now, I'm an old guy with my fingers crossed hoping for an MCU/DCEU film crossover event...
Try this. In the bar Roger sings " my buddy Edy V a sourpuss is he, but when im done hell need no gun, cause a joker he will be." Later he kills the weasels with laughter.
When I was a kid, Judge Doom scared the hell out of me 😂 I loved the movie but I had nightmares for actual years afterwards because of that character.
I love this movie too 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
I've always loved that Jessica is drawn as such an absolute stereotype, and she subverts it so hard. Her actual motivations are wholesome and pure, and not at all in line with her appearance.
That's my favorite thing too. Unfortunately, we recently had feminazis attacking her design and trying to get it changed at one of Disney's venues, which they were successful in doing. Disney put her in a trenchcoat...
Interestingly enough, she doesn't actually subvert it, by all definitions she IS a bona fide femme fatale, using feminine wiles such as beauty, charm, or sexual allure to entice others to do what she wants. Except what she wants is a happy and wholesome relationship with her loving husband.
To me that is what makes her character very tragic. This kind, wholesome woman trapped in a body that's given to her to please the male gaze whilst they look at a cartoon. It's a very sad concept.
@@IronDino I believe her relationship with her husband is what people meant by Jessica's subvertion.
This film is very unique. The licensing alone is one we will never see again. It’s amazing they got the rights to use all the characters they didn’t already own.
The closest today would probably be Ready Player One.
@@joshuawells835 Imo, all the references in RPO reminded me I could be spending my time on much better media than RPO.
@@joshuawells835 nope Cool World with Brad Pitt
@@Nemesisth I meant the number of copyrighted characters, not live action meets animated characters.
Plus, original voice actors who still living did their voices of their characters such as Mel Blanc (Bugs Bunny) and I forgotten her name (Betty Boop).
Mary Poppins also has a moment where animated characters interact with the live action leads. Then there's Bedknobs and Broomsticks, which is another Disney film. For a more adult film, there's also Ralph Bakshi's Cool World.
Song of the South! Tron!
Gene Kelly danced with Jerry Mouse in “Anchors Aweigh “
Disney did later on also Pete's Dragon that has a toon dragon as a real boys best friend (don't watch the cgi animated remake, the Disney magic is mostly gone in that one compared to the original) and regarding Cool World it is noteworthy that Gabriel Byrne, Kim Basinger and Brad Pitt play the main roles.
@@datoxgaming the remake of Pete’s Dragon was a great film though. It might not have “Disney magic” but it has great filmmaking magic.
Another movie where cartoons live in the real world is Looney Tunes back in Action
The judge executing the shoe in dip really freaked me out as a kid.
It freaked me out as an adult! That's intense.
If anything, now that I'm grown, that scene's even harder to watch now than it was when I was a kid.
Pretty chilling when realize you just watched a judge commit first degree murder in front of a room full of cops and nobody does a damn thing about it
That scene has been a source of emotional damage for many kids!
The plot of this movie is real (except the toon part, ofc). I believe General Motors bought a bunch of trolley companies and dismantled them in order to force people to rely more on private transportation.
It's a conspiracy theory with a basis in fact; urban planning after WWII was designed to decentralize the population, disburse as many people as possible out into suburbs and little bedroom communities. The idea was to reduce overall casualties in case of nuclear war.
They were also racist as all hell in execution.
And the tire companies were part of it too!
In the 1940s nearly every city had trollies and they were cheaper to run, easier to maintain and more cost efficient than the city busses used in towns without trollies. Hence why GM and Firestone went out and bought up all the Trolly companies and closed them. San Fransico was the only city they failed to do that in since the city owned the trollies, but they did keep SF from expanding the Trolly lines to the suburbs in the 1950s.
I'm a bit late to the party, but there's even more of the plot that is/was real than you point out. LA was about to start building freeways and people were acquiring land on the cheap to sell on to allow the freeways to be built as a big profit for the landowners. That was also one of the subplots going on behind the scenes in the video game LA Noire which was also set during that time period.
The toon part was also based in reality. They just weren't toons; they were African Americans.
Disney and WB characters together is something you'll literally never see again so enjoy.
It also has Fleisher (Betty Boop) and Lantz (Woody Woodpecker) cartoon characters.
The time limit was one of the fascinating parts of the deal for this movie. If Mickey was on screen for one minute and twenty seconds, Bugs had be on for exactly one minute and twenty seconds.
@@charleslee8313 Hence why those two characters shared a scene together. Easy fix.
Also take notice that in the same year of 1964 there were in the theaters the likes of Warner Brothers' The Incredible Mr. Limpet and Disney's Mary Poppins, both live action full feature films mixed with cartoons.
"Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue." I mean yeah it's awful but it does have WB and Disney characters together.
In the late 80’s computer animation was still in it’s infancy. They had to hand draw each frame from a still photograph. It took over 300 animators and over 80,000 frames.
They did great work.
There was no computer animation. Everything is practical or rotoscoped.
800 000 man hours of drawing 😁
@@IamMiaga Not quite none; computers operated the player pianos for THAT scene.
@@christopherwall2121 No, they didn't. It was a player piano. It played itself once you put a coin inside it.
There are a few mixed cartoon/reality films; but "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is the best of them. The craftsmanship of this film is utterly amazing.
25:00 - Jessica: "I've loved you more than any woman's ever loved a Rabbit".
Mary: "I can... imagine? I don't think many women have loved rabbits!"
Oh, Mary. You sweet, summer child. 😂😂😂
"Rabbit" is a nickname for a lady's vibrator. "Pattycake" is Golden Age Hollywood & TOON euphemism for extramarital affairs, but the actual pancake photos were used to placate the hard PG rating, as well as serve as a literal metaphor & visual gag.
Zoomers: "The Avengers Endgame is the biggest crossover event of all time!"
Boomers: "Psh! Someone has never seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit!"
Judge Doom with the infinity gauntlet would scare me more then Thanos ever could.
Boomers? Nah they had Mary Poppins.
Generation X and millennials had Roger Rabbit.
I came here to say this! This is 100% a GenX movie!
You know what’s even funnier? Both Roger Rabbit and Endgame were both scored by Alan Silvestri🤣🤣
Jessica loved Roger for more than his sense of humour... Eddie: A better lover than a driver, huh? Jessica: You'd better believe it, Buster!
Best pattycake she's ever played
I mean he is a rabbit, they're known for their um extreme reproductive capacity shall we say, ...also several popular women's pleasure devices are named for them. do the math.
@@JonnyPhive That's why I had to scratch my head at her line when they were over the dip.
Doom explained his motivation. Greed is a motivator for toons as well as people. And some are just evil...remember the poison apple, the spinning wheel, etc.
Animators use the phrase “bump the lamp” to refer to going above and beyond what’s required in order to flex their skills, and that’s a reference to when Roger bumps the lamp, requiring much more complicated lighting in his animation.
The 'making of' is an absolute must see. The creativity and craftmanship behind every scene is incredible !
Yeah I second this. To fully appreciate the movie you should watch the making of. It has kind of a "Assembled: the Making of WandaVision" vibe now that I think about it since both deal with a lot of mix of animation as well as special and practical effects.
That scene when Roger drinks and spits out REAL WATER... is so perfect.
Once you see someone talk about them "bumping the lamp" you'll never think about the effort put into this the same way.
Where we fine making of at?
23:52 "All because of a freeway"
guess you should read/watch A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
⬆️ This!
HHGTTG is my favorite "trilogy" ever written!
As long as it's the original and not the remake please.
@@binkybuns462 I take it you mean BBC Series rather than the film
@@grabtharshammer exactly 😀
@@binkybuns462 You mean the radio show?
Mary: “Some of these older films have been quite good”
Me: “Older??? Oh God....”
Movies from the 80s and 90s are older than many people on CZcams watching them for the first time. Yeah, we are OLD.
@@TheYakusoku I just turned 40 and I never considered that an old age. But now I'm starting to...
Well any thing older then you are is older for me early 80s and mid 80s is older.
@@Shritistrang so you were born in 81?
@@loganshaw9198 That's correct.
What I really love about this film 🎥 is that it's the only movie 🎥 that uses both Disney and Warner Brothers cartoons. It is literally ground breaking.
I remember watching this movie for the first time as a kid and just seeing Donald Duck & Daffy Duck and Mickey Mouse & Bugs Bunny together in the same scene ... This masterpiece is the perfect love letter to our childhood!
And Porky Pig & Tinkerbelle.
"Anchors Aweigh" - 1945, has real actors interacting with cartoons as well. Gene Kelly has a whole dance number with Jerry Mouse, from Tom and Jerry.
A terrific movie. Gene Kelly's dance with Jerry one of the all time great dance scenes.
He wanted to dance with Mickey Mouse but they couldn't get the rights. Then after a surprisingly long amount of time they realized wait, they had their own cartoon mouse they could use.
The company name "Cloverleaf" is a hint about the freeway.
I never thought of that.
yeah this movie ages well.. i always liked that it was funny and slapstick at times, but also had a legit neo-noir mystery story. and the 40's LA setting was nicely portrayed
No this movie is definitely not funny and this movie is serious movie
The joke about LA having the best public transit in the world is a deep cut: here in LA we're known for having terrible public transit (it's really just average, but not nearly robust enough for the city's size)... But back when the movie takes place, the Pacific Electric Company had really good trolleys across most of the city. But as freeways expanded, the trolleys weren't grade separated, so service slowed and slowed until the company went bankrupt.
But back in the 30'-40's we had the best. They put in the trolly system before the different neighborhoods. Then during the 50-60's we got rid of the trolly system in favor of the freeway system (as sad as that is).
Yeah, that was a genius plot line and really funny for Angelenos. I always wondered how much of it would make sense to other audiences, but out here it played beautifully. "That harebrained freeway scheme could only have been dreamed up by a Toon."
As someone who lives near a Metro subway station I have to say that the situation has gotten 100% better since this film was released (although of course we still have a very long way to go).
@@Johnny_Socko true. Some if not all the light rails plus the Orange Line busway here in Los Angeles are direct successors of the red car.
As for the needed improvements, a number of bus lines including most Rapid lines have been cancelled not to mention the Crenshaw/LAX line and the regional connector have been delayed over and over.
And don't forget the extent to which the trolley system was deliberately dismantled by auto, oil, and tire companies through shell companies
In any case, in L.A. it got a big laugh at the time.
Joanna Cassidy -The actress who played Eddie's girlfriend Dolores- is one of the replicants in the original Bladerunner (the snake dancer)
Wow! I never put that one together. Good catch!
@@jkhristian9603 man me either, now it's obvious lol
One thing I love about this movie is the inclusion of Maroon Cartoons as a cartoon studio because it finally explains why so many WB cartoon characters would say "What a Maroon!" They take that line and turn it into a jab against a competing cartoon studio. So funny!
"Maroon" is a malapropism of moron, usually from Bugs towards his hapless adversaries. The head of Maroon Studios, R. K. Maroon, is named after both freelance studio RKO (no relation to Randy Orton's finishing move) Pictures & the aforementioned malapropism.
While there have been many live-action/hand-drawn animation mash-ups before and since, *none* have done it as seamlessly and flawlessly as this one.
Fun Fact: This the first AND ONLY movie so far to have Walt Disney and Warner Bros cartoon character crossover.
Also who would've thought Doc Brown give so many kids nightmare fuels Lmao
Also the companies mandated that that Bugs and Mickey, and Daffy and Donald had the same amount of screen time pretty much down to the second. Thats why they were on screen at the same time and only the same time
@@NightmareOO9 Also why they mixed the two title mascots at the end of the film - "That's All Folks" along with the Tinkerbell magic
What's fun about that?
@@Jutrzen what isnt fun about it? It's interesting information that most people didnt know, and learning is fun.
@@NightmareOO9 A joke can be fun. This isn't.
What this movie pioneered was the interaction between the animated characters and real world objects. It took a lot of work and planning and no other film has come close to replicating the way it immerses the viewer in the universe it creates.
Yes there are. For example Jar Jar Binks is the "Roger Rabbit" of the Star Wars universe. The fact that he's so hated proves that the immersion is real...
It wasn't the first time they mixed live-action and animation but this was the first time it was done incredibly well.
The pattycake photos always get me.. 😂 I'm very happy you watched this, this film meant a lot to me as a child and still does. There's a lot of talent and innovation going on in this film. It represents to me how the human spirit can exceed the technical limits of our time with nothing more than ambition and determination. Because for its time this was a visual and technical marvel.
Animation has been mixed with live action nearly since the motion picture was invented. This film just took it to the next level, both with the physical interactions and with the lighting effects.
Check out the original demo short Bosco The Talk-Ink Kid. It's on CZcams somewhere.
Also the original Pete's Dragon was a mix of live action and animation that was produced maybe 10 years prior to WFRR.
"even the humans are falling in love."
I confirm.
So Roger Rabbit' back story is "loosely" based on a true story, I say "loosely" lol. As mentioned, Los Angeles did once used to have a great public transportation network, but the car companies bought up the street car system only to dismantle it, forcing people to essentially buy cars to get around. Which essentially what Judge Doom was representing in the film, Cloverlief purchansed the "red car"(street car system) and wanted to get rid of ToonTown to turn it into a freeway.
Minority neighborhoods being demolished and replaced with freeways is a tragedy that took place all over the US, not just in LA.
And today, there's a "new" subway system in Los Angeles. Many of the routes are literally the old Red Car routes. Imagine that.
@@themoviedealers in fact "Toontown" is a play on words. The places being destroyed by Freeway Planning were often referred to as "Coontown", a deeply, deeply offensive term for a Black neighborhood. This film works in as a terrific social commentary.
One of my favorite things is they brought back Mae Questel to reprise the voice of Betty Boop 57 years after her first time. (And that Boop was in B&W.)
It's also interesting that some of [Walt] Disney's earliest films combined live actors and animation: his short Alice in Wonderland films. Something he would return to from time to time.
You might want to watch Mary Poppins to see how they mixed cartoons and live action before this. There's an entire sequence where the main characters enter a chalk drawing and interact with cartoon characters.
They've put toons in movies before, but never anywhere near this level. The cartoon characters were drawn exactly the same way as they were drawn for the original classic cartoons. This took nearly all the animators in Hollywood to make this film, and there were a lot more people with that talent back in the 1980's than there are now. This film could not be made today.
Sure it could. It just wouldn't look anywhere near as good.
Grogu/"Baby Yoda" wasn't Disney's first 50-year-old baby...
Doing Eddie is Bob Hoskins who would later do Smee in the movie, "Hook," which is another iconic movie, which you would probably love.
If I remember right, it's briefly shown during Eddie's going back through the photo albums that he and his brother started out as circus clowns - which feeds back to him being able to pull off the routine - that deals with the weasels - so fluidly and well.
Saw this as a kid and it scared the hell out of me, so Space Jam is the live action/animated movie I watched most but Roger Rabbit is far and away a better film. And for 1988 it's hard to not be impressed when you consider they did all of the animation and compositing without the aid of computers. What a performance from Bob Hoskins too
The one insider thing released was they told him to imagine the sexiest hottest woman standing in front of him when he was acting the scenes with Jessica, when he saw the movie he said "My imagination sucks", had the rest of the cast dying.
A little search answers your question. "In truth, he's a toon himself. Originally a toon actor called Baron Von Rotten, he played cartoon heavies until an on-set accident left him Lost in Character." He was a villain in cartoons until something happened locking him in his role. He went insane. Also a Toon murderer wanting to commit genocide for no reason is the ultimate in cartoonish villainy.
I believe you, but where's the source of this?
@@Theomite I don't know if it's true or not, but I remember someone in another comment section (I believe it's the one in the clip of Judge Dooms reveal) mentioning similar trivia in the Who Framed Roger Rabbit comic. Or maybe it was one of the books?
@@thisdraco4794 It was a Roger Rabbit comic book but I personally don't consider it canon.
@@shaolinidiots It is canon. If they were done by the source novel's author Gary Wolfe, it is canon.
@@Theomite Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Who Censored Roger Rabbit. Both great books
It's great that they were able to include characters from Fleischer Studios, Warner Brothers, and Disney.
This is seriously one the best films ever made
Why would a toon want to do that? Answer from the film: "He was one insane toon."
I didn't see this film in the theater (home video VHS). But, I was definitely under the age of 10. The adult content flew over my head. Ahhh the 80s, when kids were, well, kids.
Jessica: “I’ve loved you more than any woman has ever loved a rabbit”
Ann Summers: “Hold my …. Um …. Beer”
Bob Hoskins is one of my favorite actors. He's excellent in Enemy at the gates, Unleashed, Hook just to name a few
Criminally underrated actor. Criminally. He is absolutely fantastic and so very talented. He was doing so much of this acting with literally nothing. Not even green screen. And he sells it every single time 150%.
@@mycroft16 he was. He passed away some years ago
The first one I remember seeing when I was a kid was Pete's Dragon
ohhh I forgot about that movie! Bedknobs and Broomsticks had some animation mixed in too
I haven't seen Pete's Dragon since I was a kid. Loved it tho.
It's not easy to find someone who cares . . .
The main difference between other live action/cartoon mixes in movies and WFRR is that the cartoon characters in this one actually physically interact in a 3 dimensional space with objects and the actors rather than just appearing as 2 dimensional drawings. The best part being that it's done almost flawlessly and naturally.
This was my introduction to Christopher Lloyd so while everyone in the world loves him for being Marty's best friend to me he's the terrifying toon that murdered an innocent toon shoe for no reason.
Same here. 😬
Completely understandable; yet at the same time, as one of the 'everyone' who love Doc Brown, this also makes me sad.
I first knew Christopher Lloyd as Doc in BttF, but I believe he is also in the movie Clue (which is live action), as well as the (animated) Anastasia that iirc Disney now owns even though it was not made by Disney. I recommend those movies to anyone who hasn't seen them as they are both very good. :)
And then there's those of us old farts who have you all beat that our first impression of Christopher Lloyd is of a stoned out hippie New York City taxi driver in the late 70s TV show Taxi lol
To me he was a Rev. In Taxi.
There have been many movies before “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” that utilized the combination of live action and animation, as many people have mentioned on this thread. The difference is that “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was the first one that sought to make the interactions more realistic, and tangible.
The scene where Eddie and Roger are in the secret room, and Roger hits the light; the animators who did the multitudes of shadows on Roger's face broke into new animation technology, and set a new standard.
@@dracoargentum9783 It also is the source of the animation phrase "bump the lamp" referring to the insane amount of work they had to do to keep the lighting real on him as he moves through the room with a swinging light source. It's used to mean an animator is really flexing on something. "Wow, you really bumped the lamp on this one Joe."
@@mycroft16 yes! “Bump the lamp”, I knew it inspired the phrase, just couldn’t remember the name.
I remember the first time I saw actress, Nikki Cox, on a show called Unhappily Ever After, I thought Jessica Rabbit had come to life.
Real-life Jessica Rabbit would be Christina Hendricks.
The late great Bob Hoskins played Eddie and when I first saw this at the theater I thought he was from New York, he was actually from the UK.
You have to see the original Star Trek movie's because Christopher Lloyd is in Star Trek III - The Search for Spock 🖖. Live long prosper.
This is one of the most technically amazing movies ever made, and I think that at the time it was made, it was also one of the most expensive! There had been plenty of instances of cartoons interacting with live-action performers before this, but this was really the first time that they'd been put so convincingly into the real world, with all the shadings and shadows added to make them feel a part of things (and with film noir lighting, too!). The sheer skill and artistry involved in making this movie is pretty mind-blowing, and icompositedframe
I do think it is sweet that they went to the trouble of the shadings and shadows just to make the Toons feel a part of things.
Another movie that combined cartoons and live action was the 1992 movie Cool World.
This movie was revolutionary for its time. Zemeckis and Spielberg so you know they had the best resources.
Definitely check out the three Roger Rabbit cartoon shorts Tummy Trouble, Roller Coaster Rabbit, & Trail Mix-Up. They're fantastic!
Mixing animation with Iive action goes back at least to the '20s with Walt Disney's own "Alice" comedy shorts.
Roger Rabbit is a miracle of collaboration. Disney, Warners and others dropped their selfishness for a hot minute in the nineties for this film.
You can thank Steven Spielberg and his influence with the studios for that.
Walt Disney's dream project "Mary Poppins" has an extended sequence of live action mixed with animation. It's a classic on a level with "Wizard of Oz."
Amy Irving was Jessica's singing voice. Kathleen Turner is the voice. Fun facts!
I hear the physical inspiration for Jessica Rabbit was Jayne Mansfield. With her color changed, of course.
A lot of practical effects were used to blend the live action with the animation. The boys at the Corridor Crew channel do a great video showing how it was done.
*Here are just a few other 'Live Action/Animation" movies that are out there;*
Mary Poppins (1964)
Cool World (1992)
Space Jam (1996)
Bednobs And Broomsticks (1971)
Pete's Dragon (1977)
The Incredible Mr Limpet (1964)...kind of 😁
Also in the 1945 musical called Anchors Away, Gene Kelly does a dance number with a cartoon mouse. Tom of Tom and Jerry fame!!
@@carlaharrington5120 Damn!
I can't believe I forgot that one.
Gene Kelly and Jerry Mouse in Anchors Aweigh do an integrated live action/animation dance routine. (Anchors Aweigh 1945)
Fun fact: they originally didn't do Jerry's reflection in the floor, and so they had to go back and composite the whole sequence again, painting in Jerry's reflection on each frame.
This is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time
"I don't understand why a toon would want to destroy ToonTown"
Quoth the Detective: "That's what I call one Seriously disturbed Toon."
Evil never makes sense.
Love this movie, the behind the scenes of this movie is something you will appreciate, so much talent and creativity... Hey, I have an idea, you should watch The Crow(1994), not animation related but still a great movie
Cool World, Space Jam, Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Those are the ones I know at the top of my head. Plus, The Adventures Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Not animation per se, but definitely worth checking out the various Jim Henson stuff as well to see humans interact with non humans. Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, various Muppet movies, etc etc.
Another fun movie that mixes animation with live action is Cool World. Brad Pitt stars in it.
I didn't finish Cool World.
Not nearly as good as this, but I think Cool World does have its moments. I wish Bakshi could have made the much darker film he really wanted, though.
Ya, but that movie was brutal and didn't spend even a fraction of the $$$ and detail to seamlessly blend the cartoons w the real world as this movie did
@@johnsensebe3153 I just remember being excited to see it, but not excited to finish it once I started.
Watching Cool World as a kid, “meh….”Watching it as an adult, “why did my parents let me watch this?”
There were several other movies released prior to this one, mostly from Disney, to mix live-action with animation....but not to this degree. It's made to look as if the animated characters are truly interacting with the live-action environment through the human cast's performances, the mechanical puppeteering of props and set pieces and the cartoon characters being shaded or highlighted to match the lighting of the environment.
Four years later, *Cool World* tried to do the same thing...but failed miserably, largely because of the slapdash effort put into it. *Space Jam* ,released four years later, would fare much better, although that movie largely was of a live actor in a cartoon environment.
You should read the book that's called "Who censored Roger rabbit?" The book is very very different than the movie, but it's an good experience readings. I even wrote an book report and PowerPoint for my classes back in high school
Jessica Rabbit is a icon and a Absolute Bombshell, it's very sad Disney is trying to get rid of her or at least try and hide her
Thanks for reacting to this one. It's been a while since I've seen it. Glad you enjoyed it! Jessica Rabbit was voiced by Kathleen Turner from Serial Mom, Romancing The Stone, and Jewel Of The Nile. Christopher Lloyd was perfect as the Judge. He's good in Clue as well. This came out the year I turned 8 (1988) and I believe I saw it for the first time in my teens.
Judge Doom was the stereotypical madman. As he was a mad toon he had to fulfil his role.
He was a villain, and he could only portrait himself as such.
His motives don't have to align with reality, they just have to fulfil his crazy plans.
There's a classic called Harvey and The Incredible Mr. Limpet both have a mixture and Pete's Dragon as well.
Crusty approves this post.
Theory
Judge Doom always hated being a toon cause he thought no one would take him seriously
I had nightmares about Judge Doom for YEARS after seeing this movie as a kid. Genuinely horrified me beyond belief.
I'm still surprised I didn't have those nightmares. He was so scary to a kid. Even before the psychotic break-out at the end, he was so menacing, and then... **shivers** Anyway, his name is funny 'cause Doom means Judgement. :D
Christopher Lloyd is awesome as villain he once stated hes favorite part he ever played was the Klingon commander Kruge in Star Trek 3
Fun fact: Christopher Lloyd's french voice actor, Pierre Hatet, was also known for voicing the Joker since the 1992 animated series.
During Judge Doom's toon reveal, he switches effortlessly between the two voices.
This perfect match of technical and artistry only happened twice, here with Roger Rabbit and later with Jurassic Park. Both were written with a known capability in mind and filmed with a new technology just as it developed, because of this both sides gave their all. The established crew giving the best of their experience and the new people showcasing their abilities.
I watched this 2 times a day when I was young, it's an all time fav.
Another human/animation flick that worked well is "Enchanted". It's newer than "Who framed Roger Rabbit" but it works well. The action is slightly more separated in "Enchanted", but a lot of it seems so normal you have to look carefully to see the separation.
The film won a special Oscar for its animation. There was a film in the 1940s called Anchors Away which starred Gene Kelly as a sailor who goes on shore leave in Los Angeles. His girlfriend works at a movie studio in Hollywood and he goes to visit her. One scene shows him dancing with Tom and Jerry.
I'm more than certain that there are a few ladies that have fallen in love with their 'Rabbit' ;)
Glad you enjoyed the film. It was a breakthrough film for its day, and really the only other ones that come close are Cool World, and Space Jam.
"I don't think many women have loved rabbits", gives Mary the side eye... 😏🤭
I see what you did there. 😆
Fun fact. Christopher Lloyd plays Judge Doom. He is also Doc Brown in Back to the Future.
Both movies were also directed by the same man.
She uh, she realized that.
A classic that is still amazing after all these years, and Jessica Rabbit is iconic!
I was only 38 when this came out,
but mommy said I could go and see it, she also said I should get a job and an apartment, she was so funny
The original cartoon with real life concept is Mary Poppins.
Oh it goes back way earlier than Mary Poppins. Disney was doing it in the early 20s out of a shed when he was barely 22.
Gertie the Dinosaur beats them all.
There have been quite a few live-action/cartoon interaction pieces across time, the ones I recall include both Fantasia movies, but "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is frankly the best quality, both before and after it's release (though the little piece in Fantasia 2000, where Mickey straightens the conductor's bowtie, was pretty good at getting the tie movements). The real secret is being able to get eye-lines right and animatronics that gets the toon interactions right. I recall seeing behind-the-scenes specials about this movie and one of the things I remember is the equipment under Bob Hoskins' coat when Eddie is trying to keep Roger inside it.
And yes, when once looks back on this now (I was ten when it came out), the fact that the effects stand up so damn well even now. They worked hard to make the interactions work well on-screen, a lot better than most other versions I ever saw (again, Fantasia 2000's tie-straightening was pretty good).
I'm a big fan of Bedknobs and broomsticks
Yup, Does anyone remember "Cool World"?
The "tie-straightening" was in the original Fantasia from 1940 also. It preceded Mickey's _Sorcerer's Apprentice_ short (which was carried over to _Fantasia 2000_ alongside a segment featuring Donald themed around Noah's Ark).
The original Mary Poppins had a scene where live action people go into an animated world as well as BedKnobs and Broomsticks. Both might be worth the watch.
The reason the animation and live-action works so well in this is that because they had to hand-draw all the cartoon animation, they could make all the interaction-based stuff with practical effects.
Roger smashing plates on the bartop is a mechanical arm breaking plates on a spike, completely hidden by the draw-over.
Will you consider seeing "The Man From Snowy River" is based in an australian poem, so very close to home and a really good movie.
"He needs to go for someone in his league."
Yeah, because looks matter when two people are happy with each other...
Really in context he is a movie star (thinking a real world analog at the time would be one of the 3 stooges) and she is a lounge singer. Regardless of her looks she is the one in a lower social position, that's why Betty Boop, for instance, thinks Jessica is the lucky one.
I was 12 when I first watched it. I think that was a perfect age. I was old enough to get some of the mature jokes in the movie. At the same time I was young enough to appreciate the lunacy of the toons.
