Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction! See you tomorrow for Squid Game Episode 7 and Shrek 2!
React to Horton Hears a Who!!
You love this youll love the original space jam
The beginning/whole movie is more a reference to Warner Brothers universe, the Loony Toon world, very dark cartoons really, but made fun. Warner Brothers actually made a movie with their cartoons and real actors in it, with references to other cartoons called Loony Toons Back in Action, it's amazing. You should watch it, funnier and more wholesome too.
When you get to Shrek 2, continue watching the credits, 2 minutes in there is a AWESOME post credit scene!
@@phantom8906 that's the other one I was trying to remember, yes I agree.. watch the original and ignore the new one
There’s a reason why turpentine, acetone and benzene can kill a toon: those are the key ingredients in paint thinner.
Epic Mickey gets so dip
Yeah, I used turpentine in my painting classes in college so when I watched the movie again after taking those courses and heard the ingredients again I was like, "Ooooohhhh that's why the dip is so dangerous . . . . "
@@ivanelugo Well, remember that the thinner Guardians you can use are called “Turps”?? It took me forever to realize that’s probably short for turpentine! 😱
When I was a teen in the 90s I enjoyed painting animation cels as a hobby. I used acrylic paint though. I later became an animator but of course it's all digital these days.
@@3DJapan Which of course, begs the question: What could kill today’s toons? Computer viruses? Really strong magnets?
This movie was absolutely revolutionary in animation - the scene where Roger bumps a lamp, in particular, was impressive because the light source kept changing, requiring the animators to constantly change how they shaded the animation. Apparently, the phrase "bump the lamp" is now used in the industry to describe going above and beyond for the sake of realism (they didn't need to bump the lamp, the scene could've worked without the changing light source, but they did it anyway, and it made it all that much better).
It’s still incredible to look at.
"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way." - Jessica Rabbit
Well, she was created by a man.
@@Sigart Same
@@lacondrathompson1747 Uh.. you some sort of fictional character?
@@Sigart You didn't have a birth father?
@@jp3813 No, I'm like Jesus that way. Except, you know, no godly interferance either.
Fun fact: Part of the deal when merging the Loony Tunes and Disney characters was that each set (Mickey and Bugs, or Donald and Daffy) had to be given an equal amount of screen time. So thats why you only see them together on screen in one scene each.
Also it was the shoe melting scene that scared me from watching this movie all the way through as a kid. I made it through when I got a little older lol.
Mickey has more screen time than bugs. Mickey appears on screen first, then bugs appears a few seconds later.
@@MrParkerman6 Right, but in other scenes WB characters might get more time so it evens out.
When they first enter Toontown there is a whole infestation of Mickey Mice running in the background at the 38:02 mark.
The song from the entrance to Toontown is "Smile, Darn Ya, Smile", from the 1931 cartoon of the same name, one of the very first "Merrie Melodies" shorts by Warner Bros. Also featured is "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down", which is best known as the Looney Tunes theme song.
I showed this to my kids recently because they are about the age I was when I saw this in theaters. My son freaked out when the shoe was dipped...I felt bad because I had forgotten all about that.
Movie: It was literal patty-cake.
Nick: *visible confusion*
Movie: It's a MAN!!!
Nick: *VISIBLE FEAR*
Love that in essence "Dip" is paint thinner, since toons are drawn and painted it's fatal
"I stopped off at a hot dog stand before the screening of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” and ran into a couple of the other local movie critics. They said they were going to the same screening. I asked them what they’d heard about the film. They said they were going to see it for the second time in two days. That’s the kind of word of mouth money can’t buy."
-Roger Ebert, in his 4/4 star review. (It was his 8th favorite movie of the year. #2 for Gene Siskel.)
14:29 this whole scene of the camera focusing on the stuff in the office is really amazing and a memorable moment of the film. It helps explain Eddie and his brother history with only the visuals like the Betty doll in the table explains why Eddie is nice to her because him and his brother probably grow up watching her cartoons. Also the transition of night to day in just one shot is really well done.
Also at the beginning the bottle is full, by the end of the transition it's empty
Eddie was already a grown man when Betty Boop first appeared.
It also explains his acrobatic ability in the climax of the film as he was a part of a family clown circus act during his childhood in one of the photos.
Oh Nick, they didn’t reference little bo peep from toy story. Little bo peep is a nursery rhyme originally
Did you notice he only knew Bugs Bunny from Space Jam? I've never felt so old
How old is Nick?? My 16 year old sister knows all of those classic cartoon shows. I don’t think it’s Nick’s age, it’s just that he wasn’t exposed to those cartoons as a kid.
Nick was born under Iraq 🇮🇶
Thanks for explaining!
@@nickflix8657 My bad. It was more a joke about my age.
Fun fact: 'THE DIP' was a real thing. Cartoons used to be made by painting every individual frame on clear acetate sheets called cels, and sometimes companies would try to re-use the acetate sheets, so the paint had to be removed. The paint thinner concoction that they used to remove the paint was referred to as 'dipping' the cels, so it's natural that a toon would be scared of this. Kinda a cool little industry easter egg.
"A toon dropped a piano on his brother's head."
"That got so dark"
Oh honey, you haven't seen anything yet
Also, they were able to get multiple Disney and Warner Bothers characters in this movie on the condition that they all get the exact same amount of screen time
That idea is so horribly twisted yet also humorous. Dropping something large like a piano or a safe on someone's head is a classic trope for cartoons. But this movie really makes you stop and consider how that would affect real people, and how graphic that actually is.
@@sketchnotes2246 yeah I mean like they said it happens to a Toon they shake it off and it's humorous but a real person instant death
@Olivia Glanville
Yet I bet you can't name a single cartoon short were a Piano or Safe or Anvil is dropped on someone's head. Doesn't happen as much as people think.
@@MrParkerman6 .....Got me there. :/
For anvils and boulders try ever road runner cartoon ever.
Seen many a piano and safe dropped to. It was common in my days, mostly on loony toons.
If you're an animation buff/historian especiallt, this film is chock full of amazing references and almost culture around animated characters. :D For example, Betty Boop was a pretty big cartoon character in the 1920s/30s, before cartoons started going into color like she stated. And the guy who directed the animation was Richard Williams, a genius of an animator and the one who - at least at my animation school - wrote the first animation textbook you receive.
And it's not exactly the same, but if you like this, I feel like you'll LOVE The Lego Movie. :D It's a film that had no business being as good as it is!
This is why I worry about the fact they are working on a second one after all this time. Hopefully they don't go to far off the path to change things.
@@ThatShyGuyMatt They're working on a second one?? Wow! Interested to see what they come up with and if they'll keep the time period or not.
@@PixarShark Yeah, the time period should be itneresting. I think it fits well given the age of the cartoons. Unless of course they waitch to modern cartoons. But it might lose its feel. I also wonder if it will be the same voice for Roger.
@@ThatShyGuyMatt If not the OG voice of Roger, it's very likely they'll give the role to Jess Harnell, as he seems to be the voice of all his subsequent appearances.
@@ThatShyGuyMatt Also I just did a quick search and the new one is supposed to be a prequel? Which means the time period should stay fairly the same, yay. 👍
Fun fact: The pair of Donald and Daffy, as well as the pair of Mickey and Bugs, both get exactly the same amount of screentime together ... literally right down to the frame! It was strictly mandated by this movie's contract with Disney and Warner Bros, since that was the only way Disney and Warner Bros. (who normally are each others' biggest competitors) agreed to allow their characters to be featured alongside each other!
Wrong!
Mickey has more screen time than bugs. Mickey appears on screen first, then bugs appears a few seconds later
@@MrParkerman6 which is why you can see Bugs for half a second in a crowd shot at Maroon Cartoons in the beginning of the movie, to balance it out.
I also love how the Disney characters show up slightly before Looney Tunes characters, as well as get the last say, Tinkerbell at the end. Though, she didn't exist in 1947. So they kinda cheated there.
I love how every men lust over Jessica because of her body but Roger doesn't care for that and loves her for who she is as a person while Jessica loves him because he makes her laugh.
Yes I love that.
I also like how the humans see Jessica as the one better than Roger whereas the toons see Jessica as the one who got lucky since toons value comedy and humans value attractiveness
@@ma.2089 Pepe Le Pew begs to differ. And the booby trap weasel as well.
Although in the 3rd Roger Rabbit short, he definitely took notice of Jessica's hotness to say the least.
@@jp3813 Though that could also be acting within the cartoon.
Bob Hoskins is such an incredible actor. He preformed Toon Town scene on a green screen, solo. Having to pretend they are there and act it all out- hair incredible. This is definitely my top 3 fav movies
Hoskins should have gotten the Best Actor Oscar for this performance.
The best American accent from a Brit this side of Hugh Laurie ("House")
That Actually Lead To Him Actually Seeing The Toons In Real Life
What does "hair incredible" mean?
I'm so happy that i've watched this reaction, thanks!
Que pingo haces acá
I've always loved this movie. It still impresses me what an amazing job they did combining the actors with the animated characters. Especially for 1988. All hand drawn, no computers
Looking at it now I'm still amazed that this is rated PG. The ratings system was different back then.
Side Note - This is the only time you will ever see Disney and Warner Brother's characters together.
If you haven't seen Mary Poppins, there's animation mixed with live action there, too. It's also such a wonderful movie overall.
Yeah, this was the first time it was through the whole film though.
The Penguins from Merry Poppins are the wait staff at the Ink and Paint in Roger Rabbit even.
Totallt agree with this! He should react to Mary Poppins 😍 Nick would love it!
The Harvey line the guy gives Judge Doom in the bar was a reference to a play/film starring Jimmy Stewart about a guy whose best friend is a 6’ 3-1/2” rabbit that only he can see. You’d probably really enjoy it, Nick.
Omg yes! What a great idea. Nick, you have to watch it. Such a great movie and a classic.
Just to the play - the film hadn't been filmed yet, in 1947.
The film won 3 Oscars including Best Visual Effects. It was a box office and critical success, making $330 million dollars against a $50 million dollar budget.
There will probably never be a movie like this ever again and that makes me sad. THIS WAS ALL DONE WITHOUT CGI, TOO.
Nothing but animatronics, puppetry, rotoscoping and traditional animation cels
There's a few little hints as to judge Doom being a toon the entire time. For one he never blinks his eyes and when he's covering up the one, one of them fell out that's why he had to leave. There's also the fact that everywhere he goes his little cape is always flowing like there's wind. There was also him being afraid of the dip when I got dumped in the bar.
I never noticed all these before!
Eddie said it himself: "I don't know who's toonier, you or Doom."
His cape even blows indoors!
And he gloves up before dipping the shoe, since he dunks his whole hand in.
The fact that this film still holds up insanely well 33 years later is a testament to just how great this film truly is.
I feel so bad for Squeaky Shoe. Poor little guy was being nice! #justiceforsqueaky!
It is voiced by Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson).
@@MrParkerman6 of course. The legend
I always felt bad for its twin who probably was looking for him and couldn't find him
@@joni-leesmith3991 - okay, now I’m gonna be sad for the rest of the day…..
@@joni-leesmith3991 I didn't even think about that; thanks for nothing! 😭😭😭💔💔💔
When Disney made this, they made a deal with the other studios that the respective studio characters would be given equal Screen time and lines. That’s why Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse are on screen together as well as Donald Duck and Daffy Duck. It was a HUGE deal at the time to see ALL of the characters together in one film. I’m sure a film of this magnitude (talent wise) could never happen today. Too much greed involved.
There’s also an awesome “making of” video that was absolutely fascinating. As a film buff, it’s something you should see. So much insight and background info that makes the film even better for subsequent viewings. Loved your reactions throughout!
Disney didn't make it. They made it under Their Touchstone Banner.
@@MrParkerman6 Pardon me, they didn't make it under the Disney banner, but they did make it, as Touchstone (and Hollywood), and eventually Miramax, and so much more all fall under the Walt Disney Company. Anything Touchstone makes, Disney makes. I didn't read about it (before it happened when it was on the slate to be made) in the Touchstone Annual Report....I read about it in the WDC Annual Report.
It isn't necessarily even greed. It's intellectual property laws, precedents that can be unintentionally set by allowing usage of an I.P. by a competitor if the legalese isn't perfect, and potentially quite a headache. It's why some artists and studios (Disney is a notorious example but by no means alone in this) have such a tightly clenched fist on their intellectual property. It just keeps things simpler.
That ending scene with Doom always TERRIFIED me as a child, especially when that little giggle laugh after he gets flattened.
Yep sadly they don't make movie animations like this anymore 😔 😞
David Bowie, Christopher Lee, Roddy McDowall, Tim Curry, Peter O'Toole and Robin Williams were considered for Judge Doom.
Okay, I knew about everyone, except Robin Williams. Now that would be interesting! If I had to make Robin Williams a villain, it would definitely be one made to represent the dark side of cartoons! On another note, did you know the villain of the book this film is based on was a genie that got summoned by a Disney song? Ironic, ain't it?
Imagine the Goblin King as Judge Doom
@@theatergeek82 that would’ve been so interesting lol, 80s nostalgia right there for sure
Tim Curry would've been amazing!
Eddie Murphy too.
Here's something to keep in mind Nick.
When a Toon does physical comedy, nobody gets hurt. They say it's because actual injury and death aren't funny.
Doom's tricks however, actually kill people. The only reason that can happen, is that Doom thinks people dying is funny.
Completely wrong.
@@MrParkerman6 I mean not that I’m picking sides cuz I really don’t know the lore but if the other person is wrong what the right answer then? I’m not trying to be snarky I’m just genuinely curious what ur answer is 🤷🏻♀️
@@captainteeko4579 So further research reveals he was a toon who suffered a severe head injury that caused a major personality change.
But the rule of funny still stands.
Roger can only bend the laws of physics when it is funny to do so.
In order for a toon to kill, they have to belive the act will be funny. Judge Doom had killed and is eager to do so again, thus he find violence and death humorous.
@@magicjewel96 Wow. I'd never heard that. Would you happen to have a link or title for us to look at.
But, wait -- if he thinks death is humorous, why doesn't he ever laugh? Is it a psychotic humor when no actual laughter is needed? Like it's mildly funny, just not enough to laugh or smile?
I have So many questions
@@LA_HA Who Framed Roger Rabbit had a graphic novel where Roger and Jessica find out Doom used to be a toon actor named Baron Von Rotton. You could probably find it online somewhere.
As for the laughter bit, think about how Doom went after Eddie. The joy he took in seeing how frightened Eddie was of him and the sick, twisted grin he had whilest trying to kill him. Doom is a sadistic psychopath, who seems to be downright giddy at the idea of making people suffer. He isn't laughing, but he is having fun.
He also may be remnant of the era in which Cartoons were in no way for children, depicting bloody gore and violence. He might be designed to look for humor in bloody acts.
Actually: the guy who plays Roger DID show up in costume so that the non toon characters had something to react to on screen.
And that works to their advantage in another way, because seeing this guy in a cartoon rabbit costume made the actors react similarly to how they would be reacting to Roger.
@@BloodylocksBathory There is a pretty funny reaction from Lou Hirsch who played Baby Herman reflecting on that thinking: "If they think they are going to make me wear a diaper on set, they have another thing coming."
And when voicing Benny, he turned himself into a car!
Little Bo Peep is an an English folk song from the 1870's.
Harvey is a play and movie about a an invisible rabbit that came out in the 40's.
That was Bugs Bunny with Mickey Mouse.
He didn't recognize BUGS BUNNY? Then again, he didn't recognize Betty Boop. Guess he doesn't go out much, does he?
This movie was released back in 1988 and even now 33 years later it still holds up as a pioneer in filmmaking. RIP Bob Hoskins aka Eddie Valiant.
You're watching all my childhood favorites. I actually had a Roger Rabbit birthday back in 91.
This movie is amazing! It keeps surprising me the more i learn about the works behind the scenes. Definitely something that will never be able to be remade. It’s one of a kind
4:01
Oh yes it can! They really did hand-draw those cartoon characters in post-production!
For 1988, the special effects were absolutely astounding. For example, they literally took plush dolls of Roger and shot scenes with that plush doll before they shot the proper scenes, just so they could get a feel for how the light should be displaced by the toons' bodies! That's how committed they were to making this look good!
Wrong! The animated them in MID-Production, NOT Post!
This production used nearly every animator in California as well. It's not far off from a full length animated feature when nearly every shot has animation in it that has to be hand animated and rotoscoped back with the original set plates. And for all the shots on black/green stages in Toon Town, all of that stuff had to be HAND masked and rotoscoped out the old fashioned way and THEN animated over.
And they're still amazing to this day. No other live-action/animated movie has ever done blending the two styles so seamlessly.
Nick: "...it's animated..."
Me: "Oh boy, are you in for a surprise."
When you get to Shrek 2, be sure to stay tuned when the credits roll, about a minute in there is an AWESOME post credits scene we MUST see you react to!
Thanks for letting me know!
Your reactions are so pure. I love how you find joy in everything. (Well, except for the dark scenes.)
Also, I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but at 28:27, it's a reference to a James Stewart movie, where he has an imaginary friend, who is a rabbit called Harvey.
*Jimmy. No one calls him James except Credits.
While the movie adaptation is more famous nowadays, the guy actually references the original stage play - the movie was still three years away in 1947.
Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Michael Keaton, Michael J. Fox, Sylvester Stallone, Eddie Murphy, Kevin Kline, and Ed Harris were considered for the role of Eddie Valiant before Bob Hoskins was cast.
Honestly, I'd be curious to see their casting tapes for it. But I'm so glad they went with Bob... he is just knock out perfect.
@@mycroft16 I agree. If those were preserved, they need to be let out into the wild (TH-cam, Rumble, etc.)
Hold on… Michael J. Fox!! I can’t see that without thinking of Back To The Future somehow!!
Michael Keaton is the only one of these that I think could have pulled it off.
I heard of Michael J. Fox considered for the role of Eddie Valiant, but I’m sure Zemeckis knew he’d feel too similar to his then-ongoing production of Back to the Future.
Definitely one of the top classics I grew up watching! 💙Also, Little Bo Peep is a nursery rhyme that’s been around since 1805. ☺️
5:55 Mary Poppins has live action and animation together for 10-15 minutes.
Other: Pete's Dragon, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Incredible Mr. Limpet, etc.
Anchors Aweigh has a small scene where Gene Kelly dances with Jerry Mouse.
And there's Dot and the Kangaroo.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks is stupendous, I bet Nick would love it!
Disney has ALWAYS experimented with combining live action and Animation.
There was also a 1992 movie called Cool World but it got bad reviews back then. I know I watched it but remember almost nothing about it besides it also being live action with animation. I support the recommendation for Bed Knobs and Broomsticks - great fun, great soundtrack!
~FM :)
There's also Monkeybone, which is live action and stop-motion animation.
Nick, your joy is infectious. It always makes my day a little bit better when I can watch a Nick movie review.
Lol it always looks kinda forced to me. Like he has a gun pointed at him off-camera.
Though, I could be wrong and cynical and it turns out it's actually genuine.
Someone mentioned the Brave Little Toaster, oh my GOSH yes, that one is a must see
I remember that being really sad.
Oh yes. But beware that it features an impressively disturbing nightmare scene.
Jessica Rabbit was voiced by Kathleen Turner, while Amy Irving provided her singing vocals.
Amy Irving killed my Parents!
...and the song is probably best known version is the one sung by Peggy Lee.
When I saw this on the big screen when it first came out, I about lost my mind. I love your reactions.
I'm glad you enjoyed this movie! Another great classic.
But I think you are one of the first reactors I've watched who doesn't know who Bugs Bunny or the rest of Looney Tunes are! That is mind-boggling to me! They are big time classic and iconic characters. I hope you get the chance to watch some of their cartoons at some point, I think you'd like them. I'm so tempted to list off a bunch of them but the list would be too long.
Anyways, great reaction as always! Can't wait to see what you'll react to next!
I liked Bugs Bunny more as a kid, especially since we went to Six Flags Great America Amusement Park every year and saw Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Tweety, Sylvester and other Warner Brothers characters walking around like Mickey Mouse and friends at Disney parks.
He said he recognized him, he just couldn't remember his name.
Looney Tunes appealed to me a bit more than Mickey, Donald and Goofy. They have more edge.
That black and white cartoon you saw in the beginning was Betty Boop. She's one of the oldest cartoons in existence and legendary, so her appearance in the movie was shocking. What made this movie iconic was seeing all these cartoons from famous brands like Disney, Warner Brothers (Loony Toons), Fleisher (creator of Betty Boop), MGM (Droopy, the dog you saw in the elevator in Toon Town). It was MASSIVE to see all of these chars together.
This film took an *immense* amount of work to synchronize, animate, and coordinate. There's a reason nobody's tried it again. Bob Hoskins actually started to *see* Roger on set. Incidentally, the ingredients listed for the Dip (turpentine, acetone, benzene) are all key ingredients in paint thinners and removers. It's why the combination kills toons.
@btamamura Possibly. His kids were, like, four or five, at the time.
@btamamura
His daughter wouldn't speak to him for not allowing her to meet the Toons.
You should watch movies with funny moments more often, your laugh is adorable
One of my favorite movies of all time, my dad showed it to me when I was a kid and I've loved it ever since.
Me too I like this movie 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 and what do you think about this movie same thing what I say right
I think this might be one of my all time favorite reaction videos. Makes me happy to see someone take such joy from a movie that brought similar joy to the rest of us.
Also, one of my favorite movies is Pete’s Dragon (the original). He’s animated while everything else is live-action.
My soul died a little when you didn't recognize Bugs Bunny when Eddie was falling in Toontown. 🥺 😉 Great reaction!!!
Dunno if anybody has already stated it, but I will. The episode with Jessica's performance (the very first scene with her) took about a year to finish, the main difficulty being making her dress sparkle... Actually, I love that they showed here that an attractive woman is not necessarily a bonehead. She can also be a good friend, a devoted wife and a person able to undertake the initiative
Such a fun creative idea that still holds up so well today. I loved your genuine, shock, confusion, and awe over every moment of this film!!
I always think that Disney, Zemeckis and Spielberg should make a sequel of this movie set in modern Hollywood with the changes and conflicts between the 2D, 3D and anime toons characters! Could be amazing! 🤩
First off, they made it under their touchstone banner, not their Disney one, and second, you left out the writer, fruitcake.
@@MrParkerman6 ...why so mean though?
@@MrParkerman6 "Fruitcake"? Did you comment from the 50s somehow?
@@fabianhebestreit3240 Fun fact, supposedly a script exists for Roger Rabbit 2, which just continues the story into the 50s and transition from film noir. Seems like a fitting insult lol
That's my favorite type of reaction : diving in a excellent movie with knowing so little about it. Your face when the live action scene began whan absolutly priceless.
I can’t remember the last time I watched this. It’s such a good movie. Excited for ur Shrek 2 reaction.
You're right that Toy Story was made after this movie, but the Beau Peep reference was for the original Mother Goose/nursery rhyme character (which the Toy Story character was also based on). There were many cartoons from this era which featured famous cartoon characters meeting nursery rhyme characters including Beau Peep, so technically, she was a toon in this time period as well.
the Seagull crashing the Bike was actually unintentional, the production crew had a hell of a time trying to keep the bike standing upright during production, the animators had fun with their struggling by animating the seagull mailman struggling to keep the bike upright. They eventually got it right, but decided to keep the bike crashing because it was funnier and more on brand.
Still one of my favorite films from when I was a kid, not many apparently appreciate it’s worth thanks!
If you like the mixing of animation and live action, then you gotta do the original Space Jam!
And especially Looney Tunes: Back In Action which was released in 2003
@@Luke-3281 oh yes, how could I forget that one!
One of my favorite movies of all time; it even came out the same year I was born! 😍😍😍🏀🏀🏀
For me this one is up there with Wreck It Ralph and Ready Player One. We don't get to see many crossover movies like these in our lifetime but I'm glad I was born in a generation where we could enjoy them. Also Nick, if you slow down some frames of the cab chase, you can actually see Eddie Valiant as a drawn cartoon character ( :
I'm still baffled at how Jessica Rabbit and Roger Rabbit got together. Still a fun movie though ❤
And thank you for clearing it up. Its been a while since I last saw the movie.
He makes her laugh
Also theres a fan theory she's asexual.
While some like the asexual theory, I simple like the line that "he makes me laugh".
Jessica rabbit is a very sexualised character, by most men, it's easy to assume that Rodger Rabbit didn't sexualised her so much and instead making her laugh.
To toons, physical appearance is pretty pointless. But being funny? Making people laugh? That's the ultimate. Hence why everyone keeps saying Jessica is one lucky gal.
Humans value looks. That's what Eddie says to Betty in the club "She's married to Roger Rabbit?!" He can't believe Roger landed a woman who looks like that. But Toons value laughter, which is why Betty replies, "Yeah, what a lucky girl." Literally saying that Jessica is the lucky one to land a toon as funny as Roger. It's a really cool little expectation subversion that they don't make a really big deal of.
I think it's a nice subversion of expectations.
Nick, I thought you'd like to know at 28:30, when Angelo puts his arm out and says, "Harvey," he's referring to a movie from the 1940's called Harvey, starring Jimmy Stewart and Harvey is a rabbit that only Stewart's character can see. And I am glad you're enjoying this movie so much!
I'm disappointed you didn't know who Betty Boop was. She was one of biggest black and white cartoon characters.
Edit: AND YOU DON'T KNOW BUGS BUNNY?!? HE HAS BEEN IN MUCH MORE THAN JUST SPACE JAM!
He's young. Saturday morning cartoons haven't been around for a while
@@smokeyverton7981 I'm 18, idk how young he is; I think he is older. Maybe I was just lucky to have watched on the weekends here in Canada but I guess it wasn't the same everywhere.
I have never seen a Betty Boop cartoon, but I knew who she was. To be fair, she was plastered over a wall at the local bowling alley. Although she was drawn in colour.
@smokey verton
Bugs and Betty aren't saturday morning cartoons, dumbass. They are cartoon Short characters which pre-date saturday morning cartoons by a long shot, yu fruitfly!!!!
Sorry just never grew up with them.
Your excitement after this reaction is contagious! It's such an iconic film and still stands the test of time.
this movie is still so very impressive for the time it came out.
I like this movie 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
It was so fun to see your reaction to that! Your enthusiasm and joy is so contagious, thanks for that!
The rabbit is called Bugs Bunny he’s from Looney Tunes and yes from space jam
....and Merry Melodies and Warner Bros.
There had been other movies that mixed live-action with traditional animation, many from Disney...but never to this degree. For starters, the toons are practically in the entire movie, not just some fifteen-minute sequence. Their presence in the real world is made believable through a combination of the live cast's performance, the puppeteering of set pieces and props and the toons being shaded/ highlighted to match the lighting in the scene.
Okay, Looney Tunes Starter Kit time. There are many wonderful classic shorts, but these 20 are a decent primer to see if these characters are your thing (or at least now understand where they come from):
* Rabbit Fire
* Rabbit Seasoning
* Duck, Rabbit! Duck!
* What's Opera, Doc?
* Rabbit of Seville
* High-Diving Hare
* Devil-May Hare
* Bully for Bugs
* Duck Amuck
* Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century
* Robin Hood Daffy
* The Scarlet Pumpernickel
* Drip-Along Daffy
* Canary Row
* Fast and Furry-ous
* For Scent-imental Reasons
* Lovelorn Leghorn
* One Froggy Evening
* Feed the Kitty
* The Dover Boys at Pimento University (or The Rivals of Roquefort Hall)
"Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my rag-time gaaaaal"
Omg yes! This is a great list, excellent work
Don't forget The Cartoon Drafty Daffy
Beautiful list for starting into Looney Tunes. Grew up on them side by side with Disney.
@@dje6719 This is only a starter kit. It has a small handful of the most famous ones plus at least one appearance by every major character (except for Speedy Gonzales, because while the character himself has aged well the rest of the shorts he's in have enough problematic elements that I wouldn't put them in an intro course)
P.S. Pepe LePew has the opposite problem, where he as a character has aged poorly, but one or two of his shorts still mostly hold up which is why the one I feel the least uncomfortable with snuck in (this one also won an oscar so...)
You: How can they reference Toy Story?
Me: Dude... little-bo-peep is a nursery story that existed WAY before Toy Story, that's where the toy in the film is based on.
I’ve been waiting for this!!! Can’t wait to see shrek 2’s reaction
Shrek 2 sucks like all the sequels, just like the toy story sequels.
Hey Nick, congratulations on your 50K! @ 28:25 That is the second reference to "Harvey" [the rabbit] you've heard now. The first was in Shawshank when Andy was explaining to Red how he made up the fake person Randall Stevens by saying Stevens... "He's second cousin to Harvey the rabbit." Both of these refer to the wonderful classic "Harvey" (1950) which is one you definitely should do a reaction video on. Based on how you like older fantasy movies like Wizard of Oz, and this more modern fantasy Roger Rabbit, you will enjoy "Harvey" very much. It won the main actress Josephine Hull a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in it as Jimmy Stewart's older sister. And she was brilliant!! When watching Harvey you'll then get the jokes about it in both movies! LOL! Another older serious drama you need to do is "12 Angry Men" (1957) and all I can tell you about it is it's a court drama. Harvey and 12 Angry Men will be two excellent classics to add to your video list. ✌️😎
I don't know why, but watching you react to this... I was suddenly struck with the thought out of nowhere that if you haven't seen The movie musical Little shop of Horrors from the 80s, then that is one that you _absolutely_ should react to! I'm almost positive that you'll _love_ it. Don't even put it on Patreon. Just add it to the list of movies that you watch because you _want_ to. You won't regret it, I promise.
The woman toon in black and white who talked with Eddie at the bar is Betty Boop, the character of a cartoon, with the same name, very famous in the 30's (time where the TV was still in black and white)
Yay love this movie! So hype for Shrek 2 tomorrow! Also I feel like you'd enjoy The Brave Little Toaster, also animated
On my list!
I loved this movie as a kid and recently watched it for the first time in over 25, it holds up amazingly well. Aside from the AMAZING job they did blending the animation with live action, every time you watch it you find something new.
Like when they're investigating Marvin's death and Edie asks how Judge Doom became a Judge, the cop tells him that he spread a bunch of simoleons around Toontown and bought the election. If you're paying attention, you'll connect that to what Eddie says later to Roger in the movie theater when he says that the toon that killed his brother robbed a bank for a zillion simoleons.
When they're in the bar hiding Roger and Doom is doing the shave and a haircut, Eddie says "I don't know who's toonier, you or Doom".
Then Benny the cab shows up in Toontown when Eddie puts out his thumb, the crazy lady Lena has an adams apple, there's just so many hints, connections, setups, payoffs, I love it!
Not only do they not make them like this anymore, but this movie is one of a kind, literally the only movie to blend animation and live action to the degree that they did.
40:00
Wait, how have you never heard of Bugs Bunny? He's like the Micky Mouse of Warner Bros.
I was shocked by that too!
Nick seems to know what Warner Bros is according to his Iron Giant reaction
My jaw actually dropped, I stopped the video and said out loud "You did not just say that!"
Now I'm scrolling through these comments and it's nothing but people explaining all the references to Nick... I am done.
@@d.-_-.b literally I was looking for This comment and nun but mfs sayin the same shit 😭 but I was like Whaaatt thaaa fuucckk he said "What's up doc" and everything 😭😭😭 it's coo though
@@d.-_-.b @CJ Jackson
Oh no! Nick not knowing about the character and having the references explained to him is the biggest betrayal humanity can suffer. Such a silly complaint... 😒
This is, hands down, one of my top three favorite movies of all time! It's so full of things you don't notice until you watch it again, and even then you'll need a few times more to really find everything.
This was one of the best movies that let cartoon characters be more realistic, more humanlike.
I'd suggest checking the TV Tropes page for this masterpiece, specifically the Fridge page. There's so much you wouldn't think of until later, and many people have given brilliant ideas and reasons why certain things were done by certain characters. Example; why did Roger react so, strongly, to alcohol? Alcohol can be a potent solvent, and Roger is made of ink. It was causing him actual physical damage, just a little, so his body reacted in a cartoonish way to the pain.
Bob Hoskins did a fantastic job, and he actually is that agile. It's kind of cool that he also managed to sing in character. His natural accent is, was, English, so being not only able to drop that accent, but to hold a different accent while singing, even the simple modified take on "The Merry-go-round Broke Down", is a pretty good show of skill.
Also, you have great instincts. You predicted, correctly, that the guy that offed Acme was the same one that dropped Eddie's brother.
Ah, this is a great movie. Great cast, great story, great practical and special effects (this is the best movie ever made involving a mix of live action and animated characters), and great music (reminiscent of Back to the Future (amusing that Christopher Lloyd involved in both), and there's good reason for that).
If you haven't seen it, it may not have the best reputation, but Bob Hoskins was in the live action Super Mario Bros movie. It's not the best movie, but I think it's fun enough.
Jessica Rabbit reminds me a Red Hot Riding Hood from Tex Avery’s animations.
Ikr I love classic toons ☹️
Glad to see you finally react to this...
Glad you enjoyed it...
Fun fact, the Bob Hoskins role was supposed to go to Eddie Murphy, but Eddie thought the idea of animation and live action together was stupid. He says he regrets that now.
Oh man, thats much hurt for Eddie 😬😬😬
I think Eddie Murphy will playd fantastic in this role.
But to be onest, i'm glad Bob Hoskins got thats role.
Love that you loved it! It's definitely one of those special movies that always comes back again. ♥
This movie is the best murder mystery ever made, hands down, I will argue that till the end of time. The only one that comes close for me is Clue!
literally my favorite movie of all time. ive seen it hundreds of times. no movie has ever been able to blended live action with animation as well as this
This film is set in the 1940’s yet Tinkerbell appears at the end of the film. Peter Pan didn’t come out until the 1950’s.
Somebody got fired......
They always lived in Toontown. They just hadn’t been cast in their respective movies yet. They probably had to audition for Disney when those movies were in pre-production.
This is one of the only time Disney and Warner Bros. Collaborated. The deal was that characters from each would get equal screen time. That's why you often saw them on screen together at the same time like Donald and daffy playing the pianos.
*Warner Bros. and TOUCHSTONE.
That’s such a cool fun fact! Thanks for sharing.
@@MrParkerman6 Disney owns Touchstone.
I adore this movie! It was amazing how they made it! Its my favorite ride at Disneyland!
I loved that ride. Then they went and got rid of it and Toon Town. Man, I miss Toon Town. My grandparents used to live in California so I went a lot of times as a kid.
@@fightingfaerie I didn't know they got rid of it! I was there in 2018 for Christmas and it was there. I got to ride the one in Japan in 2019 for Christmas too.
@@jaymieberry I haven't been to California in a long while, I just remember hearing they got rid of Toon Town
Long before Wreck-It Ralph, Disney was getting permission from fellow animation studios like Warner Bros, MGM, and Universal to get cartoon characters from those properties into their film. What an achievement this movie made with Special Awards granted to them by the Oscars.
Robert Zemeckis sure pulled out all the stops by doing this back-to-back with Back to the Future Part II at the time.
The Dip is literally simply just paint thinner
Oh! I’m still sad for the shoe 😟🥲
@@cottonhairedaesthetic2005 yeah that's just about as dark as this movie gets
PREPARED TO BE AMAZED!
When you said you didn’t know “the guy on the right” I died
lol that actually shocked me
@@kylelee5966 When he said he thinks bugs is in space jam I was shook
@@JohnnyDoorknob ikr lol
that daffy and donald paino fight will keep me coming back to this movie.
10: 30 that’s Betty Boop one of the earliest cartoon characters. There is still a lot of Betty Boop merchandise.
She is far from one of The earliest.
One of the early ones and not forgotten.
@48:11: You're not alone Nick, I was one of many who got freaked out. Love this movie and watching your reaction! Glad you enjoyed it too!
There were a few Roger Rabbit shorts made after this movie. They're hilarious! =)
Yep
I like this movie 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 the short one is good too and the short one is not funny
There are certain movies i _especially_ look forward to you watching. Because it's so obvious that you're going to love them.
This is one of those.
