This appears to be another throwaway scene, but it will have significance at the end of the movie.ġ7mins 30secs – Another big cameo now and this time it’s in the form of Betty Boop! Mae Questel reprised the voice of Betty for this short, but memorable moment. Acme has just squirted Valiant with some disappearing ink. I said, pianists.ġ7mins – Valiant has just met Marvin Acme – the owner of ‘Toontown. This scene is significant because a.) These are characters from rival studios (Disney & Warner Bros.) and b.) Both studios stipulated that the characters must receive equal screen time. Again, a plot point.ġ5mins – Donald Duck and Daffy Duck are sharing screen time.

It’s not until much later in the movie that this becomes an important part of the story.ġ4mins – Revelation alert! Revelation alert! Eddie Valiant dislikes ‘Toons because a ‘Toon killed his brother. Again, when I watched this as a kid my mind was BLOWN! Dumbo in a film that featured real people! Image: ©Walt Disneyĩmins – A couple of Fantasia (1940) cameos have just taken place, along with cameos from various other classic carton characters from the Disney and Warner Bros vaults.ġ1mins 30secs – There’s a discussion about the tram system being sold, which at this point just seems like a throwaway line. All seems a bit pervy, but as this film is set during the 1940s I’m gonna let it slide.Ĩmins – Dumbo! Dumbo has just arrived. Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) is being hired to spy on Roger’s wife, Jessica. ADULTS WERE ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN! PURE MADNESS!!!ħmins – So at this point, the plot starts to kick in. This is the point where my six-year-old mind exploded! Not only was I no longer watching a cartoon, I realised I had just watched a rabbit being hit, crushed and almost cooked! That seemed fine when it was just cartoon, but now adults where allowing this to happen. It’s lucky this is a cartoon, right?Ĥmins 10secs – The cartoon has now morphed into live action. In addition to voicing Roger, Fleischer also voices Benny the Cab who appears later in the movie.Ĥmins – The level of violence on display in this movie is off the scale. What did anyone expect, he’s a rabbit? Since when do rabbits make good babysitters? They’re babyMAKERS, not sitters.ģmins – Roger is voiced by Charles Fleischer. Of course Roger is A TERRIBLE babysitter. Watching this as a kid I had no idea that this cartoon would turn into live-action within a few minutes.Ģmins – Roger has been put on babysitting duties, looking after Baby Herman. Below are my thoughts on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, all posted in real-time, with hopefully a few insights into the film along the way.Ĥ0secs – Forty-seconds into the movie and we’re straight into a Roger Rabbit/Baby Herman cartoon. Tonight I’m re-watching the movie while passing a few comments via this very blog.

Over the years, a number of films have captured my imagination in the same way, with Superman: The Movie (1978), Jurassic Park (1993) and the Star Wars trilogy (1977 – 1983) being just a few, yet none have taken the place of Who Framed Roger Rabbit – and none ever will.
