The thing I love about Judge Doom/Baron is that it introduced the concept of a truly dangerous homicidal maniac into precious sanitized world of kids entertainment... for a lot of kids, we saw a truly evil remorseless killer that was in the form of a cartoon but would kill someone in "real life"... it caused you to unintentionally grow up and realize the world is dark and you gotta stop thinking so innocently about it all... which is pretty much what the whole movie is about... Eddie used to love all this cartoon stuff but was forced to grow up when his brother was murdered by a symbol of childhood... a toon.
I come from a somewhat laidback & open-minded background so I've seen a lot of media that I shouldn't have as a young child and that includes horror movies. And yet Judge Doom was the only fictional character that I was ever truly afraid of and upset by...Not Freddy, not Chucky not Norman Bates but Judge Doom. Even before the climax everything about his character and presence was so creepy, unsettling and unacceptable for me. He felt like *an invader* of my fun cartoon movie! The mere 2nd time he was on screen (the bar scene) I was cringing and whimpering to myself "Ohmygawd! You don't belong here! Get OFF of my screen! Getoff! Getoff! Getoff! Getoff! Getoff!" And the climax, well...That needs its whole other post.
Yet, it is also toons who help Eddie re-embrace laughter and joy in life, heal from his trauma, overcome his alcohol addiction, find closure by facing his fears and defeating the toon that killed his brother. ^^ Roger also brings joy to the miserable drunkards at the bar and even shows how powerful and healing laughter can be.
@@pinokosthewife About Roger and the bar patrons : I always thought it was an interesting touch that after picking up the record Judge Doom calls them all a group of "drunken reprobates". As if coming to erase Roger isn't enough, Doom has to undo Roger's legacy of lifting the spirits of humans. It's like he's the "anti-toon". Its his life mission to make everyone miserable.
Ikr, and he’s the type of villain who doesn’t seem so bad at first. Sure; he’s hell bent on executing Roger for a crime he didn’t commit, but apart from that toon shoe he dips early in the movie, he doesn’t seem to have it in for any other toon; until the grand scheme is revealed.
@@TwinePoodle IMO I think cutting that scene objectively improved the film because it gives away too much too soon...The audience already knows that Judge Doom is a terrible "person"...That scene gives away the fact that HE and the weasels are searching for the will despite Doom himself repeating the false narrative of it not existing, ergo HE is Cloverleaf ergo HE murdered Acme and framed Roger Rabbit. Futhermore how did Doom know that Toontown triggered Eddie's PTSD? However the scene is well-acted and seems to imply that Doom actually feeds off on the terror & misery of others. Like Pennywise. Maybe that's why the character spoke to Tim Curry so much.
I had the exact same reaction as you as a child. The part where he gets rolled over and the screaming. It shocked me even though he was a bad guy. Then he got up and that helped ease the trauma but was very weird also. Then he blows himself up which was very freaky, and his eyes and the voice...It's actually quite alarming even now. One shock after another, after another. Then he melts as he deserves and that's traumatic too, but he's gone. I still have this weird fascination with this scary as hell mysterious character. Nostalgic fear/fascination. I want to know more.
That fact that his true form traumatized me is a kid easily places him as one of the most memorable movie villains of all time, if not among the greatest. He is psychotic, kills toons without mercy or remorse, and can change the form of his arm like the Green Lantern or T-1000 at the drop of a hat. Easily one of the most dangerous movie villians.
0:46- Agreed. Before Doom was introduced, the film was very cynical and uncomfortable in tone with Eddie aside from his sprinkles of decency with the kids and Bettie Boop- is willing to ruin a happy Toon's love life for the bills. Doom's introduction gives someone to root against as Eddie gradually becomes more and more like his comedic and empathetic self.
I'm currently reading "Pulling A Rabbit Out of a Hat" (about the making of the movie) and having read the featured plot synopsis of the first two potential scripts of *what could have been* before they came up with Judge Doom and had Jessica as the villain, from a purely plot standpoint Judge Doom literally made the movie. Not only was Jessica boring as a villain but those inital stories were hard to follow and the audience had nobody to really root for or care about. Like WCRR, Eddie is given no backstory (tragic or otherwise) in those scripts. Plus the 2nd potential script taking place in 1944 and having the Toons wanting to fight the Nazis sounded too much like a "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" rehash. I could totally see how when the screenwriters figured out to try a template of "Captain Cleaver" as the villain, a whole new and better plot just sorta terraformed around that character as they kept adding things on. "Make Captain Cleaver 'Judge Cleaver'! An evil self-hating toon, and we'll give him a black trenchcoat! So he looks like the gestapo!..Oh lets say he has a "final solution" aka turpentine! He wants to use it to erase all of the other toons! He wants to be human and passes like the DeGreasy brothers...Oh and, and he's got these WEASEL henchmen because weasels and rabbits are natural enemies and that's an old timey cartoon trope..."
I love the fact that there might actually be a true "body" of what Judge Doom was in Baron Von Rotten. The picture I saw of him was so evil and terrifying it brought me back to the very first time I saw those scary eyes and was like "Oh yeah! He Judge Doom all right!"
He's not Baron Von Rotten. That was just the non-canon interpretation from Marvel. Most comic adaptations are not canon. The movie makes it clear that he's Pistol Packin' Possum, which explains why he leads a gang of weasels. He just happens to be a rare sociopathic Toon. How many cartoon characters have "Pistol" in there title? lol There is a shot when a murder happens against a reflection of Pistol Packin' Possum which all but confirms it.
I saw the first Terminator movie at age 3…around the same time as this, and red eyes were just a terrifying thing to me…I think if his eyes were, say green, I probably wouldn’t have been so traumatized, in all fairness
@@TwinePoodle First time watching, I was obviously terrified but I don't think I even noticed or cared that the eyes were red. It was the fact that they were huge googly *cartoon eyes* on a live-action face (Uncanny Valley) with the weird muppet hair and big derpy smile with huge chicklet teeth and the screechy voice for me...And the manner in which he melted away : a close-up of his agonized "hybrid" face, and the screaming and convulsing and wimpering 😰😰😰 And it was all happening to a character that I was already afraid of and thought was a human being...Up until all of this of course.
The beauty of Judge Doom's evil motives is that he doesn't really need much of a backstory for them to make sense. Judge Doom is miserable. He desperately wants to be something that he is not and will never be. He also lives in a world where a "toon's purpose in life is to make people laugh" and he's a toon that either can't make people laugh or believes that he is above doing so (a few scenes suggest the latter) Someone with this level of internalized misery and self-hatred is gonna project it onto others. If Doom can't be happy or comfortable in his own painted skin than no other toon gets to be...And certainly privileged humans that see him as their toy don't get to be happy either. This is why he looks and sounds so uncharacteristically *alive* and *elated* when he's talking about his freeway and the future world without toons! No more toons to lift the spirits of humans! No more toons to dance, and sing and act like humans' pets to relegate him to such an undignified fate. And yet, as he closes his monologue by informing Eddie Valiant of his victory and begins to *walk away from it all* forever more... Judge Doom fails to do something so "human" and basic : walk around a slip hazzard. He walked directly into it..He literally could not resist it...And his glass eye pops out...And his henchmen laugh at him...No matter what he does, he can't escape it. He cannot hide what is inside.
Did you see the reaction to this film from Magic Magy? Her one issue with the film was that they didn't go into why Doom wanted to kill his own kind because "you gotta explain it more.". But why? The fact that we don't know much more about him is part of what makes him so terrifying. I swear we live in an era where every single thing had to be explained upfront or else that is a flaw. I'm not saying it isn't necessary in some instances but in other areas, explaining too much takes away what makes certain characters intriguing.
@@tristanpetty7173 I was trying to be vague about "Nope" in the previous reply because you gotta go see it! Outstanding film. Getting back to Judge Doom : he's also super scary because we don't know where ANY of these toons come from : if they were drawn to life, where "coming to life" ends & begins for them or if toons are just some gollem-like race of beings that have always just "been there."
@@tristanpetty7173 Okay so my first reply was erased again so now what I said makes less sense...😳 All I said was that perhaps that is why "Nope" is not rated as high because some people wanted more explanation and backstory...Maybe its because I was linking the website accidently.
@@tristanpetty7173 Yes definitely go see it ASAP! All I'm gonna say is that it's clear that Jordan Peele grew up on Robert Zemeckis films (and Stephen King books perhaps) and was heavily influenced by them. Its now in my Top 20 faves of all time.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is one of my Favorite Movies. I'll never forget the First time I watched it. And you brilliantly explained the Reason why Judge Doom is one of the Greatest Antagonist and Movie Villain of all time.
I say, go for the villain series. Villains always get the best lines and songs and leave the strongest impressions. Me, I'm partial to the Doom=Pistol Packin' Possum theory. Most of all because the actual answer of Doom's identity remains a mystery within the movie itself, which makes the movie a meta detective story.
I'm definitely more partial to the Pistol Packin' Possum theory than I am to the whole Baron Von Rotten thing... simply because the movie itself hints towards it. The "Rotten" story, however, is too far outside the original circle for me to call it a definitive answer. And I will definitely be working on the villain series...thanks for the feedback! I plan on covering more Disney characters, because they ARE the best! But I'm definitely not going to be doing JUST them.
@@TwinePoodle Well, yes, there's definitely that, too. The Doom=Baron Von Rotten stuff just feels like the take of someone who, first of all, never put in the work to figure out Doom's actual identity on their own, and secondly just wanted to write their own Roger Rabbit AU fanfic or something. :/ Well, yeah, _just_ doing a villain series would be kind of a waste. ^^; ...something I haven't seen a whole lot of people talk about is the character dynamics of Sleeping Beauty. Specifically the fact that Aurora and Phillip aren't even the main characters. (Seriously, that movie is way more enjoyable once you realize that Aurora and Philip are decoy protagonists and the true MCs are Flora, Fauna and Merryweather.)
@@GrahamChapman Hey thanks for your input on Sleeping Beauty...that actually helps me a lot because thinking about things beyond just the villain would make a much better video...I'm very happy with how this Judge Doom video turned out, but taking it a step further like you suggest with Sleeping Beauty and further discussing the different character dynamics would have easily leveled up this video and made it even better...maybe in the future I'll make Judge Doom v2.0...
@@TwinePoodle Nice to know that my input was appreciated as a source of inspiration for future potential projects. ^^ And, yes, I concur; covering the different character dynamics in Roger Rabbit could definitely have made this an even better episode, not least of all because the movie flirts so much with various character tropes. (E.g., design-wise Jessica is blatantly based on the classic noire femme fatale dame, and a bit of a central theme with her is that she faces prejudice based upon her looks, but within the narrative of the story itself her role is actually that of the good wife.)
I also like the PPP theory better mainly because it would explain why he chose to implicate his ex-boss (R.K. Maroon) and ex-coworker (Roger Rabbit) into his scheme, and why he hates other toons so much. Only one poster in Maroon's office with his cartoon but like half a dozen of Roger's. PPP may have saw himself as a skilled thespian who was just as valid as a human one, but never got taken seriously and had his career hijacked by a toon who "makes people laugh" and reinforces the notion that is what toons exist to do (Roger says this repeatedly throughout the film)
It would have been cool if we did see what Judge Doom looked like. This movie really does stand out as #1 for using classic animation. While there were other movies that were made that tried to capture the original Who Framed Roger Rabbit idea, it will probably never be done again, nor will it be compared to the original.
I like that they left Judge Doom's actual identity a secret, like an "I guess we'll never know" sorta thing... something for fans to speculate on for all time. Although it's questionable how canon the Baron Von Rotten storyline actually is.
2:24- Maybe it's like an interior heating system inside the suit so the Toon inside doesn't suffer from being overheated being in the suit all the time.
Glad to know I am not the only one who places this movie as their personal favorite movie of all time as this has held that title since I was 4 or 5 years old. No movie has even come close to toppling it. This movie just has everything that I could ever asked for: cartoons, film nor, taking place in the detective story golden age of hollywood,, sexy damsel/film Fatale, etc. The score is also amazing and one of Alan Silvestri's best works. Judge Doom continues to be one of my favorite villains of all time!
This is truly an immeasurably impressive film !!! It made me think that this film reminded me, or really reminds me, of what, despite its impossibility, I have hoped dreamed of the world to look like sometime in the future - that of flying cars, beautiful futuristic, high-tech, small and big cities in addition to a functioning, political, world peace-leading world power, this world would be inhabited alongside us, alongside us, along with this crime-parody film by animated characters !!! The characters from the different worlds, realities and universes of countless different cartoon-computer-animation-TV and movie series like the city of Los Angeles, Hollywood, would live together, all over the world, even in my home country of Finland, with the people who created them, us. doing so and otherwise living among us in peace and harmony, and a kind of union would be created for them to guarantee fair and legal representation for all the different characters in the universes of millions, billions of TV series and movies, across different fictional worlds, between us and fictional characters, love, trust, humility and above all peace is our goal. This film is very much reminiscent of my dream of such a future. Before this movie, I was pretty sure of it, and this movie really confirmed that tones can't be killed but Judge Doom, originally named Toon by Baron Von Rotten, came up with a way: a poison he called dip, which was a mixture of turpentine, acetone and benzene, which causes the Toons to be destroyed, causing them to melt into paint because those chemicals are paint thinners and the Toons in this film are in fact mere revived, living ink and paint drawings, traces and stains on paper and those substances dissolve them. Judge Doom is a great character and my favorite even though he's evil, and believe me, even if it was barbaric and a little ironic considering that I would like the animated characters to live with us in the future, as in this movie I would still have supported Doom's plan to destroy ToonTown so that Doom could build that Freeway on top of the destroyed ToonTown, though I didn't want Doom to dismantle the tram company, but he could have developed a solution that would have ensured that people would use Freeway a huge amount of trams as well. in addition. But a great movie nonetheless, absolutely awesome because it reflects my utopian thoughts and dreams about the future of our world !!!
I encourage you to examine other cinematic villains. There's plenty to choose from. The Borg Queen from "Star Trek: First Contact", T-1000 from "Terminator 2", Agent Smith from "The Matrix", Biff/Griff/Buford Tannen from the "Back to the Future" films, Hans Gruber from "Die Hard", Thanos from "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Endgame", The Wicked Witch of the West from "The Wizard of Oz", or Emperor Palpatine from the "Star Wars" films.
Hey thanks, many of those were already on my list! The next one I have in line is a bit obscure, but should be good. Biff Tannen wasn't on my list originally, but...that was stupid on my part. He's essential.
You've got good taste; Roger Rabbit is also my all-time favorite movie, and I learned a few new things. I never noticed the shoe kicking the cop, nor did I realize Lloyd cut his hair like that for the role. Side note: I'm impressed by the Weird Al decor the the background. :-) My only criticism is that the buzzard's name, Voltaire, isn't pronounced VAHL-ih-TAHR, but Vole-TARE. It's the name of a French writer/historian/philosopher. Aside from that nitpick, excellent video. :-) You'll be pleased to know I heard about it from a Roger Rabbit Facebook group, so you're bound to get some good publicity.
Hey, thank you so much! Ha, yes...Weird Al is definitely a big part of my life...like, HUGE. I'm really happy to hear that you learned something new! And I really appreciate the constructive criticism, instead of bashing or belittling me, or the video...as a result, I too learned something new! Thanks for that! Glad you liked it! 😊
@@TwinePoodle Ehh...I'm a little on the fence about that. I kinda like him being a more mysterious figure not to mention we have had plenty of villain backstory movies already. Also, if they go with giving him sympathetic motivations, I definitely wouldn't be interested.
@@tristanpetty7173 LOL there is no way possible to make Judge Doom's motivations sympathetic. The issue I have with works of fiction like "Cruella" "Maleficent" and "Wicked" is that the characters' natures and their worlds are badly retconned, turning the "misunderstood villain" into a Mary Sue who never wronged anyone. Bruh Cruella wanted to skin a bunch of puppies for coats. No amount of backstory can make her seem less evil unless you retcon that and claimed the original story was a lie. I think "Oz the Great and Powerful" mostly did it right because although it acknowledged that Theodora was hurt or wronged in the past, it also acknowledged that in life, we have many paths we can take. And you see that she still chose the wrong one and that's ultimately on her. If you read "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" although Judge Doom obviously wasn't in the story, he was heavily inspired by the DeGreasy brothers and that Genie. While what they may say they wanted might not sound so bad, they still went about it the entirely wrong and narcissistic way so you still see that they are not good. I think that approach could work somewhat, but as you said its not really necessary.
@@TwinePoodle I think it's because I find rage hilarious and his voice was super high. That's the same reason I love Bill Burr. He's the perfect mixture of Daffy and Donald Duck.
@@TwinePoodle Judge Doom is basically *all* of the villain cliches, has a few snarky/petty lines and has a few bumbling toony moments that he tries hard to supress yet fails. Then when he's exposed to be a toon, the older kids and adults in the audience know *exactly* what's gonna happen to him and what his last words will be, so when it does that makes it all the more funny & satisfying. Back in the 80s the memories of Reverend Jim and John Bigbootie were more fresh than they are now, so older kids and adults who recognized Christopher Lloyd immediately were seeing some similarities. *That being said* I first saw this film when I was 6 (on vhs in the early 90s) and Judge Doom was so horrifying to me that Act III was nearly unwatchable. Like my whole soul left my body in response to that. But I was just saying that I "get" how older audiences found Judge Doom funny.
This is my #1 movie of all time, even as a kid. And a story my father lovee to tell people is when i was maybe 4-5 i would want this movie on a lot, and every, single, time Judge Doom revealed himself i would run away screaming even when i knew it was coming. My dad loves that story.
I can relate…my mom told me that when I was little, I was so terrified and could barely bring myself to look at him with those eyes…but I just simply had to watch. I’m glad to know I’m not alone in this world.
There is another bts animation/live action frame of Doom that is featured in the 1993 book The Disney Villain with the live action bit being black and white and the animated eyes being in color which definitely adds to the eeriness of the scene.
@@tristanpetty7173 I hope I see your comments under NC's Roger Rabbit review (which I just recently discovered that he did...Can't wait to check it out)
@@msannethropp7497 In all honesty, I haven't really been watching his reviews lately. My opinions have kind of soured on his reviews overall. But I definitely will post some comments on other possible reactions... when they come up that is.
1:55- Imagine if Mandark played Doom- Doom: When I killed your brother I talked just like this! Eddie barely suppressing his ability to laugh. Doom: I have red eyes and a squeaky high voice! Fear me! Eddie: I know I'm supposed to be scared of you, but HAHAHA! Doom: Screw This! (makes one of his hands into a buzzsaw). Eddie: You're right. You're right I gotta beat you to save Roger and Jesssca- Eddie sees Roger and Jessica's souls flying up due to laughing to death.
dude how come you don't have more subscribers?? your descriptions and explanations are entertaining in a very sincere, nonchalant way! and touching topics and characters often forgotten and only remembered by us oldies. keep up the great work! subscribed!!
1:08-1:28 After hearing him talk about WFRR and how excited he was to play Fester Addams because he loved "The Addams Family" comics as a kid, I've come to the conclusion that Christopher Lloyd is a troll (I mean this as a compliment) You see winks of troll energy come through in "Cuckoo's Nest" and moments on "Taxi" but also as Judge Doom. *AFTER DIPPING THE SHOE* Older 1st time viewers : "Damn movie, it's like that?" *Doom's face beneath the fumes smirking* "It's *like* that. Problem?" *WHEN REVEALING HIS BUZZSAW HAND* "You think this can't cut through stuff, you bout to learn today!"
Thanks for making this video. I love the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Judge Doom makes for the perfect villain. Judge Doom never did scare me, then again I love the villains. In any movie or show or book I always gravitate towards the villians as I find them way more interesting than any other characters... I saw the Roger Rabbit movie as a teenager. As soon as Judge Doom came on screen I knew right than he was the villain and had killed Acme, I didn't know why but I knew it was the Judge. It wasn't the dark clothes, but the fact that Judge Doom wore sunglasses indoors and wore his hat kinda low, like he was concealing something, that's how I knew he was the villain. I also noticed that before the reveal of his toon self, when Judge Doom smiles, it's an un-natural smile, un-human like smile... There are many unanswered questions about Judge Doom but like you, it's more fun to have it be a mystery. There are questions that I ponder over suxh as, being a toon, why does Doom hate his fellow toons? Even with the books, they don't resolve that question, I believe either a book or comic says that as a toon Judge Doom played a villain, got in an accident and somehow lost his memory and Judge Doom thought he was a real villain. However, in the reveal in the movie, the Judge knows he's a toon. Even before the reveal, the Judge knows he's a toon which is why he wears a glove to dip the shoe and when the dip is spilled over in the bar the Judge backs away as he knows since he's a toon, the dip would kill him too. So, since Judge Doom knows he's a toon, why hate his fellow toons? Why does Judge Doom specifically hate Roger Rabbit? Judge Doom frames Roger Rabbit for the murder of Acme and even before that, I think he had something to do with Jessica Rabbit being set up for those patty cake pictures so that Roger Rabbit will be upset and not be able to perform for audiences. Judge Doom seems to really hate Roger Rabbit specifically, but why? These questions have no answer but like you said, the mystery is more fun...
‘Roger Rabbit’ is a masterpiece. It’s up there with Snow White, Wizard of Oz & Star Wars. In time people will recognize it as one of the greatest films ever made.
Judge Doom makes the film, but I really only remembered him from the scene where he revealed he killed Eddie's brother, and the bar scene. What I remember the most was the annoying weasels. "I'm gonna ram 'em!" stuck with me forever. Re-watching it as an adult, Judge Doom is the clear stand-out performance.
Judge Doom : A disturbed Toon with a Thousand Faces , Brilliant Makes a lot of sense. (Stephen King) is pretty twisted whoever made this character up was on another brainwave. Just Brilliant. Lots of Mystery still untold or unseen as to Judge Doom considering many edits from the script it was written but never made to the screen 🤔 yet it still existed in history. Fascinating.
I might have to review it in the near future…then AGAIN down the road. My “larger than necessary” plans involve things I currently don’t know how to pull off at the moment…
Yeah man...he definitely left a terrifying impact on many. I just had another dream about him last night oddly enough. 😬 He's still going strong in the dreams of many!
Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of the best darkest Disney villains alongside Judge Claude Frollo from Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Emperor Belos from The Owl House. Roger Rabbit is one of my favorite Disney movies though
@@TwinePoodle oh yeah Frollo is worse. I don’t know if you watched The Owl House before but if you haven’t, you should check it out when you get a chance. The show has a terrifying villain named Emperor Belos and he’s human but has a curse but he blames his curse on witches. They didn’t nothing to him and he’s also a colonizer and cult leader. The Owl House is on Disney Channel and new episodes premiere on Saturday mornings around 9:00am. If you have Disney Plus, you can check out all the season 1 and season 2a and season 2b episodes.
One thing I noticed during the movie was that at the end when judge doom starts melting, yellow paint seeps out of judge doom instead of blue paint, if judge doom's true form stayed how it was originally portrayed, he would have blue paint seeping out of him instead of yellow paint, so that means that his true form was indeed never truly revealed because baron von rotten was blue so he would leak blue paint, OR he was using a different toon form while also wearing judge doom's disguise.
I’m curious where you got blue paint from…I thought it was supposed to be yellow, based on the saw and anvil, and the paint on the rope? Did I miss something? 🧐
Judge Doom is a terrifying villain. Though the idea that he was Baron Von Rotton or Pistol Packn Possum is good, I thought he would be a toon from the movie Cool World. Cool World is another movie that mixes live action with animation, except Rodger Rabbit did everything better. In Cool World, all the toons look mean and not child friendly( basically cartoons not made by Disney or Warner Bros.), while the environment looks like a hellish version of Toon Town. Of course this can’t work because Who Framed Rodger Rabbit came out before Cool World.
Curiously enough the original screenplay of "Cool World" was severely edited and butchered. The original vision was to have the film be about a character who was the love child of a noid and a doodle (a "human and a toon" in that universe) who had bitter self-hatred issues and became a serial killer....Hmmmm
@@msannethropp7497And then the editors turned it into a Roger Rabbit knockoff behind Bakshi's back There are rumors Bakshi intentionally sabotaged the film in anger
Came back to this today after the announcement that Oogie Boogie Bash, Disneyland's trick-or-treat trail, is adding Judge Doom to the 2023 lineup of characters.
There is one scene in this movie that is missing that I wish more would talk or know and it has to do with a photo of Judge Doom himself on the Dip Canon and not the crazy White Toon that was using it.
One more thought here, in the movie when Judge Doom makes his first appearance he talks about the dip, which is made of turpentine, acetone, and benzene which is essentially paint thinner so it would dissolve a painted toon into nothingness... There are some things wrong with this. First is that the statement is made at the beginning of the movie that this dip is the only way to kill a toon. However, Judge Doom keeps telling the weasels to stop laughing as they would one day laugh themselves to death. This is exactly what happens at the end of the movie, Eddie Valient acts silly and makes the weasels laugh themselves to death. So, apparently, there is more than one way to kill a toon, there's not only the dip but they can laugh themselves to death as the weasels did. The second thing is, that the dip only works for painted toons. If a toon was drawn or animated in any other way other than paint, the dip would be harmless to the toon and it's awfully arrogant for Judge Doom to assume that all of the toons in Toontown were all painted when some could have been drawn at the time. Last but not least, we all know, that like Soap Opera characters, toons never really die. Even after being dipped, all someone had to do was animate that toon again and the toon could come back so a future animator could easily bring back the shoe or Judge Doom by simply drawing them again, so they aren't really gone...
Technically he is. Christopher Lloyd took over for Master Xeanort in Kingdom Hearts Re: Mind after the passings of Leonard Nimoy and Rutger Hauer. It may not be Doom, but for now it's close enough. Now they can just make Roger a summon knocking out Heartless with the boxing glove mallet.
Two foreign dubs found a way to make him scarier. In the Spanish dub, he laughs like an evil clown when he jumps with his springs, and hisses when he cuts the chains with his saw. In the Brazilian dub, the pitch of his voice lowers as he "melts". Also, the kangaroo jury was also going to appear in the bar in response to a barfly saying Roger should have a trial. Two other candidates to play Doom were Alec Baldwin and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I hadn’t even thought to listen to the other dubs on the blu ray…I’ll have to check those out! And yeah I just made a video on the 3rd draft script, and forgot to put in the kangaroo court appearance in…ugh.
It's really interesting to me, I wouldn't say I was extremely traumatized by doom, but the one thing that stuck with me forever was when his eyes became knives, maybe a lil trauma there. But for some reason we search out those things that traumatize us. and we also love them for some reason. My theory is that the only true currency (in terms of movies becoming classics) is memorability. That can be accomplished in many ways, shock value/trauma, comedy, or just some inexplicable thing woven into whats shown on the screen. Doom has that in spades. It's hard to say exactly why some things are memorable and some things are forgettable but it's something. Some certain visuals and scenes just seem to stick with you.
I whole heartedly agree. I can honestly say I wish I would have said exactly this in the video…I’m jealous that you said it instead of me! Haha I love this comment! Thank you for writing in!
If you read the film's rough draft script, the writers wanted Doom to be made out of *red paint* instead of yellow and for you to actually *see* his hands shape shift. So I say that he was a toon demon.
Enjoyed this. Is there a detailed plot breakdown/explanation somewhere that you recommend? I rewatched recently (loved it), but have some plot questions. 1) did Judge Doom set up the frame job from the start? I.e. he told Maroon he would only buy the studio if Acme sold too, so he got Maroon to force Jessica to pose for the patty-cake pictures, knowing he would kill Acme and use the photos to frame Roger (he would have had to have known that Acme was sweet on Jessica, but then I guess that wasn't a secret, Betty certainly knew)? Or did he just see an opportunity and frame Roger after Maroon plotted to blackmail Acme? 2) Why did he need to kill Acme, they were already planning to blackmail him (maybe he knew even with blackmail Acme would never sell Toontown, so he had to kill him)? 3) How did the pattycake pictures get out? Everyone seemed to know about it the next day - but if Maroon wanted to blackmail Acme, he would have kept the pictures private, right? 4) What was Maroon's motiviation? Apparently at the start he wanted to blackmail Acme so he could sell. But then in the end he says he didnt' want to see the Toons destroyed (was he trying to get Acme's will to save Toontown?). He certainly wasn't doing that before he started the plot in motion. Thanks!
1.) Yes Judge Doom set up the frame job from the very beginning. This sounds all the more reasonable if you subscribe to the "Pistol Packin Possum" theory but even if you don't, it makes sense. 2.) Judge Doom had to kill Marvin Acme because Acme owned Toontown, and Judge Doom can only legally destroy Toontown if *he owns it* On the last night that Acme was alive, he confided in Jessica Rabbit that Doom "wanted to get his hands on Toontown and he wouldn't stop at anything" then gave her the will to keep safe in her dressing room and it was written in "disappearing-reappearing ink" for extra security in case Doom and/or his minions try to search for it and destroy it...According to the deleted "Pighead Scene" that is exactly what happened. The Toon Patrol didn't find the will because Roger inadvertently took it to use as a love letter. But even if Roger didn't do this, the search would've been unsuccessful because the ink was still invisible at this point. So Acme knew that Judge Doom wanted him dead and put out all the stops to protect Toontown from beyond the grave, in case that were to happen. R.K. Maroon however, was completely blindsided by Acme's murder, as I will explain more in the next reply...
*Continued* In response to 3 and 4 After Acme is murdered, we don't see R.K. Maroon onscreen again until Eddie's confrontation/interrogation of him (this is also the final time we see him) In this scene Maroon is paranoid, shifty-eyed, guarded and has a gun out ready for self-defense. He now knows that "Cloverleaf" lied to him, murdered Acme instead of the blackmail as they planned and suspects that "Cloverleaf" is coming for him next. I keep saying "Cloverleaf" because its not really clear if Maroon ever discovered that Cloverleaf is Doom. If he did at all, it was only after Acme was murdered. R.K. Maroon said that he considered Marvin Acme a "friend". He had to have known that Doom was antagonizing his "friend" for control over Toontown. The whole time Maroon corresponded with Cloverleaf it could have been human decoys that Doom paid off to represent "Cloverleaf" or even an alternate "human" persona with a completely different disguise and voice from the "Judge Doom" persona. What we do know is that since Maroon armed himself with a gun and not a bottle of turpentine, he *believed* that he is being threatened by another human the entire time. It's also clear from his "I'm a cartoon maker not a murderer!" pleas was that he was not in on the murder of Acme and never supported it (even if he unwittingly enabled it)
Lastly to answer you on how & why the pattycake photos got out so quickly : At that point, R.K. Maroon trusted Cloverleaf to simply "blackmail" Marvin Acme with the photos so he freely handed them over to Cloverleaf to do just this...He's a busy cartoon maker after all. He didn't have the time, it also looks less unflattering for him. Instead what actually happened was that Doom and/or the weasels (Cloverleaf) had to wait for Roger to stop hanging around the Gag Factory crying over Jessica (or simply order him to go away or get dipped) then contact Marvin Acme (whose sleep was probably disrupted thus his judgement is off) and threaten him with the pictures to lure him into the Gag Factory where a safe boobytrap is waiting for him. Shortly after doing the deed, Doom contacted the local press with the pictures *and* the news of Marvin Acme's murder. This does not look sus to the human media because a safe was dropped on Marvin Acme's head (only toons do that) and the yellow paint on the sliced rope is irrefutable evidence of a yellow-handed toon's act and Doom's weasels don't have yellow hands.. There's also a paragraph in the headline that mentions that Marvin Acme had no will (which Baby Herman knew was a lie) and Doom repeats this lie in the deleted Pighead Scene. Hope I answered your questions 😊
The comic saying that Doom is Baron is not canon to the movie; I most believe that his true identity is Pistol Possum. But yeah it's better to think his identity will always be a mistery.
I agree. My one and only issue with Pistol Packin Possum is, I don’t see any yellow paint anywhere on him…HOWEVER, he’s the only possibility imo. Why else would that poster be highlighted when Maroon is murdered?
1: The Baron Von Rotten thing is alright, but what I find most fascinating is the scrapped idea of Judge Doom being originally drawn as the hunter who killed Bambi's mother. He's just a shadow/sillouhette in a handful of frames and he has one purpose: to kill. After this, The Hunter is discarded and forgotten, consigned to oblivion, the only attention given him is the hatred and horror of the kids who watched the movie. So here is this shadow, literally drawn to kill, and he sees his fellow toons become famous and beloved. Already imbued with an instinct to kill, he descends deeper into hatred and a desire for revenge, warping into a chaotic entity of pure Toon evil. Judge Doom is just his way of passing himself off as a human and thus gaining access to the very powers of creation and destruction. Thus, THE DIP.
Lol yeah its scary how the original roger rabbit would kill such a wild character who essentially was so chaotic due to being a rabbit that he would come back even scarier
Look at Temple of Doom (my favourite Indiana Jones movie) it's dark as anything and talk about terrifying. And it's a family friendly movie? The reason today's family friendly movies are rubbish is because they don't have a guy's heart being rip out of his chest while he's still alive
I would love to see bad guys how are you can do all the bad guys and animations movies in specially animes I would love to say that actually and I remember watching Roger rabbit I’m surprised I still remember watching that that movie with Judge to him when his eyes came out it’s still it’s I still remember to this day I wonder if I can ever remake dead to me again I don’t know how Christopher lawyers to play that character again but I would love to see ya gym and another season or another movie I guess I may be a crossover who knows if you guys left stage do you more how are you how are you get scared or hate her more despise up I would love to see him in another picture I’m actually
Micheal Myers etc. never scared me. THIS thing? Even as a grown ass man, this thing is what makes me feel unsafe while watching this film. Up until this point it’s been a detective film while having elements for kids AND adults. But this part? There was just no way to prepare for something like this. You KNOW what you are getting into with Myers, Chucky, etc. but this abomination feels like a genuine invasion into a film it doesn’t belong and to this day causes me revulsion. And the stakes are more personal. His plan is to murder Bugs, Mickey, etc in the most heinous way. Just imagining if Doom SUCCEEDED is more disturbing to me than killers with knives.
Your input on just how invasive this scene is exactly how I feel about it. I don’t say that as a dis either…it’s my favorite scene…but to me, the movie turns to genuine horror for two minutes…
Looks like your parents never knew this movie was barely intended for children, let alone toddlers. I've theorized that that generator of parents were kids in the 70s when their parents made them watch Scooby Doo, and then they grew up thinking all cartoonies were Scooby Doo.. so they thought it was OK for their 80s and 90s kids to watch anything animated with Bugs Bunny and Donald Duck, also forgetting how different a 3-year-old thinks compared to an 8-year-old and a 12-year-old. It's kind of why newly married couples should take a course on child psychology before becoming parents, it's kind of why parents should understand animation history before plopping their children before the TV and running off.
Yeah…to be fair I think it was my cousins who were babysitting me who showed it to me, and probably thought it was fine. I have a surprisingly vivid memory of that day.
![ออร่า (AURA) - JUEPAK feat. SARAN | [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RY9j7Lzp-FI/mqdefault.jpg)
The thing I love about Judge Doom/Baron is that it introduced the concept of a truly dangerous homicidal maniac into precious sanitized world of kids entertainment... for a lot of kids, we saw a truly evil remorseless killer that was in the form of a cartoon but would kill someone in "real life"... it caused you to unintentionally grow up and realize the world is dark and you gotta stop thinking so innocently about it all... which is pretty much what the whole movie is about... Eddie used to love all this cartoon stuff but was forced to grow up when his brother was murdered by a symbol of childhood... a toon.
Huh, I never thought about it that way before, but you're absolutely right!
I come from a somewhat laidback & open-minded background so I've seen a lot of media that I shouldn't have as a young child and that includes horror movies.
And yet Judge Doom was the only fictional character that I was ever truly afraid of and upset by...Not Freddy, not Chucky not Norman Bates but Judge Doom.
Even before the climax everything about his character and presence was so creepy, unsettling and unacceptable for me.
He felt like *an invader* of my fun cartoon movie!
The mere 2nd time he was on screen (the bar scene) I was cringing and whimpering to myself "Ohmygawd! You don't belong here! Get OFF of my screen! Getoff! Getoff! Getoff! Getoff! Getoff!"
And the climax, well...That needs its whole other post.
Absolutely terrified when I first saw this film at 8 years old. Despite that being a lesson, I still believe this should be a PG-13 movie full stop.
Yet, it is also toons who help Eddie re-embrace laughter and joy in life, heal from his trauma, overcome his alcohol addiction, find closure by facing his fears and defeating the toon that killed his brother. ^^
Roger also brings joy to the miserable drunkards at the bar and even shows how powerful and healing laughter can be.
@@pinokosthewife About Roger and the bar patrons : I always thought it was an interesting touch that after picking up the record Judge Doom calls them all a group of "drunken reprobates".
As if coming to erase Roger isn't enough, Doom has to undo Roger's legacy of lifting the spirits of humans. It's like he's the "anti-toon". Its his life mission to make everyone miserable.
Honestly, Judge Doom is just such a well-made and well-performed villain that you just can't get enough of him.
That, and he is completely unique.
Yes, indeed! I wish he had more scenes...it's why I'm disappointed the pig head scene was cut.
Ikr, and he’s the type of villain who doesn’t seem so bad at first. Sure; he’s hell bent on executing Roger for a crime he didn’t commit, but apart from that toon shoe he dips early in the movie, he doesn’t seem to have it in for any other toon; until the grand scheme is revealed.
@@TwinePoodle IMO I think cutting that scene objectively improved the film because it gives away too much too soon...The audience already knows that Judge Doom is a terrible "person"...That scene gives away the fact that HE and the weasels are searching for the will despite Doom himself repeating the false narrative of it not existing, ergo HE is Cloverleaf ergo HE murdered Acme and framed Roger Rabbit.
Futhermore how did Doom know that Toontown triggered Eddie's PTSD?
However the scene is well-acted and seems to imply that Doom actually feeds off on the terror & misery of others.
Like Pennywise.
Maybe that's why the character spoke to Tim Curry so much.
A shame some people think he's just okay. Dumbass modern audience members, some just wanting ALL their movie villains to be overly-complex.
The quote "Remember me, Eddie when I killed your brother, I talked just like thisss!" will always be burned into my brain
You and me both…yeesh…
Me too, in the fear category for me
I had the exact same reaction as you as a child. The part where he gets rolled over and the screaming. It shocked me even though he was a bad guy. Then he got up and that helped ease the trauma but was very weird also. Then he blows himself up which was very freaky, and his eyes and the voice...It's actually quite alarming even now. One shock after another, after another. Then he melts as he deserves and that's traumatic too, but he's gone. I still have this weird fascination with this scary as hell mysterious character. Nostalgic fear/fascination. I want to know more.
That fact that his true form traumatized me is a kid easily places him as one of the most memorable movie villains of all time, if not among the greatest. He is psychotic, kills toons without mercy or remorse, and can change the form of his arm like the Green Lantern or T-1000 at the drop of a hat. Easily one of the most dangerous movie villians.
Hell yes…I agree!
Same here
0:46- Agreed. Before Doom was introduced, the film was very cynical and uncomfortable in tone with Eddie aside from his sprinkles of decency with the kids and Bettie Boop- is willing to ruin a happy Toon's love life for the bills. Doom's introduction gives someone to root against as Eddie gradually becomes more and more like his comedic and empathetic self.
I'm currently reading "Pulling A Rabbit Out of a Hat" (about the making of the movie) and having read the featured plot synopsis of the first two potential scripts of *what could have been* before they came up with Judge Doom and had Jessica as the villain, from a purely plot standpoint Judge Doom literally made the movie.
Not only was Jessica boring as a villain but those inital stories were hard to follow and the audience had nobody to really root for or care about. Like WCRR, Eddie is given no backstory (tragic or otherwise) in those scripts.
Plus the 2nd potential script taking place in 1944 and having the Toons wanting to fight the Nazis sounded too much like a "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" rehash.
I could totally see how when the screenwriters figured out to try a template of "Captain Cleaver" as the villain, a whole new and better plot just sorta terraformed around that character as they kept adding things on.
"Make Captain Cleaver 'Judge Cleaver'! An evil self-hating toon, and we'll give him a black trenchcoat! So he looks like the gestapo!..Oh lets say he has a "final solution" aka turpentine! He wants to use it to erase all of the other toons! He wants to be human and passes like the DeGreasy brothers...Oh and, and he's got these WEASEL henchmen because weasels and rabbits are natural enemies and that's an old timey cartoon trope..."
I love the fact that there might actually be a true "body" of what Judge Doom was in Baron Von Rotten. The picture I saw of him was so evil and terrifying it brought me back to the very first time I saw those scary eyes and was like "Oh yeah! He Judge Doom all right!"
He's not Baron Von Rotten. That was just the non-canon interpretation from Marvel. Most comic adaptations are not canon. The movie makes it clear that he's Pistol Packin' Possum, which explains why he leads a gang of weasels. He just happens to be a rare sociopathic Toon. How many cartoon characters have "Pistol" in there title? lol There is a shot when a murder happens against a reflection of Pistol Packin' Possum which all but confirms it.
I watched this as a child in the early-mid 90s. Finally looking this up it’s strange to me people were scared by it, I just found it a cool villain.
I saw the first Terminator movie at age 3…around the same time as this, and red eyes were just a terrifying thing to me…I think if his eyes were, say green, I probably wouldn’t have been so traumatized, in all fairness
@@TwinePoodle First time watching, I was obviously terrified but I don't think I even noticed or cared that the eyes were red.
It was the fact that they were huge googly *cartoon eyes* on a live-action face (Uncanny Valley) with the weird muppet hair and big derpy smile with huge chicklet teeth and the screechy voice for me...And the manner in which he melted away : a close-up of his agonized "hybrid" face, and the screaming and convulsing and wimpering 😰😰😰
And it was all happening to a character that I was already afraid of and thought was a human being...Up until all of this of course.
fascinating to me that stuff horrifies some people but other people are basically unaffected.
@@TwinePoodle - My parents had me watch Mickey, Donald and Goofy at age 3.................
The beauty of Judge Doom's evil motives is that he doesn't really need much of a backstory for them to make sense.
Judge Doom is miserable.
He desperately wants to be something that he is not and will never be. He also lives in a world where a "toon's purpose in life is to make people laugh" and he's a toon that either can't make people laugh or believes that he is above doing so (a few scenes suggest the latter)
Someone with this level of internalized misery and self-hatred is gonna project it onto others.
If Doom can't be happy or comfortable in his own painted skin than no other toon gets to be...And certainly privileged humans that see him as their toy don't get to be happy either.
This is why he looks and sounds so uncharacteristically *alive* and *elated* when he's talking about his freeway and the future world without toons!
No more toons to lift the spirits of humans! No more toons to dance, and sing and act like humans' pets to relegate him to such an undignified fate.
And yet, as he closes his monologue by informing Eddie Valiant of his victory and begins to *walk away from it all* forever more...
Judge Doom fails to do something so "human" and basic : walk around a slip hazzard.
He walked directly into it..He literally could not resist it...And his glass eye pops out...And his henchmen laugh at him...No matter what he does, he can't escape it.
He cannot hide what is inside.
Did you see the reaction to this film from Magic Magy? Her one issue with the film was that they didn't go into why Doom wanted to kill his own kind because "you gotta explain it more.". But why? The fact that we don't know much more about him is part of what makes him so terrifying. I swear we live in an era where every single thing had to be explained upfront or else that is a flaw. I'm not saying it isn't necessary in some instances but in other areas, explaining too much takes away what makes certain characters intriguing.
@@tristanpetty7173 I was trying to be vague about "Nope" in the previous reply because you gotta go see it! Outstanding film.
Getting back to Judge Doom : he's also super scary because we don't know where ANY of these toons come from : if they were drawn to life, where "coming to life" ends & begins for them or if toons are just some gollem-like race of beings that have always just "been there."
@@tristanpetty7173 Okay so my first reply was erased again so now what I said makes less sense...😳
All I said was that perhaps that is why "Nope" is not rated as high because some people wanted more explanation and backstory...Maybe its because I was linking the website accidently.
@@msannethropp7497 Don't worry about it. I still haven't seen Nope but thank you for not giving anything away.
@@tristanpetty7173 Yes definitely go see it ASAP! All I'm gonna say is that it's clear that Jordan Peele grew up on Robert Zemeckis films (and Stephen King books perhaps) and was heavily influenced by them. Its now in my Top 20 faves of all time.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is one of my Favorite Movies. I'll never forget the First time I watched it. And you brilliantly explained the Reason why Judge Doom is one of the Greatest Antagonist and Movie Villain of all time.
Thanks for the kind words…glad you enjoyed!
I say, go for the villain series. Villains always get the best lines and songs and leave the strongest impressions.
Me, I'm partial to the Doom=Pistol Packin' Possum theory. Most of all because the actual answer of Doom's identity remains a mystery within the movie itself, which makes the movie a meta detective story.
I'm definitely more partial to the Pistol Packin' Possum theory than I am to the whole Baron Von Rotten thing... simply because the movie itself hints towards it. The "Rotten" story, however, is too far outside the original circle for me to call it a definitive answer.
And I will definitely be working on the villain series...thanks for the feedback! I plan on covering more Disney characters, because they ARE the best! But I'm definitely not going to be doing JUST them.
@@TwinePoodle Well, yes, there's definitely that, too. The Doom=Baron Von Rotten stuff just feels like the take of someone who, first of all, never put in the work to figure out Doom's actual identity on their own, and secondly just wanted to write their own Roger Rabbit AU fanfic or something. :/
Well, yeah, _just_ doing a villain series would be kind of a waste. ^^; ...something I haven't seen a whole lot of people talk about is the character dynamics of Sleeping Beauty. Specifically the fact that Aurora and Phillip aren't even the main characters. (Seriously, that movie is way more enjoyable once you realize that Aurora and Philip are decoy protagonists and the true MCs are Flora, Fauna and Merryweather.)
@@GrahamChapman Hey thanks for your input on Sleeping Beauty...that actually helps me a lot because thinking about things beyond just the villain would make a much better video...I'm very happy with how this Judge Doom video turned out, but taking it a step further like you suggest with Sleeping Beauty and further discussing the different character dynamics would have easily leveled up this video and made it even better...maybe in the future I'll make Judge Doom v2.0...
@@TwinePoodle Nice to know that my input was appreciated as a source of inspiration for future potential projects. ^^ And, yes, I concur; covering the different character dynamics in Roger Rabbit could definitely have made this an even better episode, not least of all because the movie flirts so much with various character tropes. (E.g., design-wise Jessica is blatantly based on the classic noire femme fatale dame, and a bit of a central theme with her is that she faces prejudice based upon her looks, but within the narrative of the story itself her role is actually that of the good wife.)
I also like the PPP theory better mainly because it would explain why he chose to implicate his ex-boss (R.K. Maroon) and ex-coworker (Roger Rabbit) into his scheme, and why he hates other toons so much.
Only one poster in Maroon's office with his cartoon but like half a dozen of Roger's.
PPP may have saw himself as a skilled thespian who was just as valid as a human one, but never got taken seriously and had his career hijacked by a toon who "makes people laugh" and reinforces the notion that is what toons exist to do (Roger says this repeatedly throughout the film)
It would have been cool if we did see what Judge Doom looked like. This movie really does stand out as #1 for using classic animation.
While there were other movies that were made that tried to capture the original Who Framed Roger Rabbit idea, it will probably never be done again, nor will it be compared to the original.
I like that they left Judge Doom's actual identity a secret, like an "I guess we'll never know" sorta thing... something for fans to speculate on for all time. Although it's questionable how canon the Baron Von Rotten storyline actually is.
2:24- Maybe it's like an interior heating system inside the suit so the Toon inside doesn't suffer from being overheated being in the suit all the time.
Glad to know I am not the only one who places this movie as their personal favorite movie of all time as this has held that title since I was 4 or 5 years old. No movie has even come close to toppling it. This movie just has everything that I could ever asked for: cartoons, film nor, taking place in the detective story golden age of hollywood,, sexy damsel/film Fatale, etc. The score is also amazing and one of Alan Silvestri's best works. Judge Doom continues to be one of my favorite villains of all time!
Love this movie and doom! Favorite villain of all time
He was the most scariest thing ever in a kids movie since Anjelica Huston as the Grand High Witch in The Witches.
80s family films where dark and edgy. Which is what I love about them and why they are well deserved classics
This is truly an immeasurably impressive film !!! It made me think that this film reminded me, or really reminds me, of what, despite its impossibility, I have hoped dreamed of the world to look like sometime in the future - that of flying cars, beautiful futuristic, high-tech, small and big cities in addition to a functioning, political, world peace-leading world power, this world would be inhabited alongside us, alongside us, along with this crime-parody film by animated characters !!!
The characters from the different worlds, realities and universes of countless different cartoon-computer-animation-TV and movie series like the city of Los Angeles, Hollywood, would live together, all over the world, even in my home country of Finland, with the people who created them, us. doing so and otherwise living among us in peace and harmony, and a kind of union would be created for them to guarantee fair and legal representation for all the different characters in the universes of millions, billions of TV series and movies, across different fictional worlds, between us and fictional characters, love, trust, humility and above all peace is our goal. This film is very much reminiscent of my dream of such a future.
Before this movie, I was pretty sure of it, and this movie really confirmed that tones can't be killed but Judge Doom, originally named Toon by Baron Von Rotten, came up with a way: a poison he called dip, which was a mixture of turpentine, acetone and benzene, which causes the Toons to be destroyed, causing them to melt into paint because those chemicals are paint thinners and the Toons in this film are in fact mere revived, living ink and paint drawings, traces and stains on paper and those substances dissolve them.
Judge Doom is a great character and my favorite even though he's evil, and believe me, even if it was barbaric and a little ironic considering that I would like the animated characters to live with us in the future, as in this movie I would still have supported Doom's plan to destroy ToonTown so that Doom could build that Freeway on top of the destroyed ToonTown, though I didn't want Doom to dismantle the tram company, but he could have developed a solution that would have ensured that people would use Freeway a huge amount of trams as well. in addition.
But a great movie nonetheless, absolutely awesome because it reflects my utopian thoughts and dreams about the future of our world !!!
I encourage you to examine other cinematic villains. There's plenty to choose from. The Borg Queen from "Star Trek: First Contact", T-1000 from "Terminator 2", Agent Smith from "The Matrix", Biff/Griff/Buford Tannen from the "Back to the Future" films, Hans Gruber from "Die Hard", Thanos from "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Endgame", The Wicked Witch of the West from "The Wizard of Oz", or Emperor Palpatine from the "Star Wars" films.
Hey thanks, many of those were already on my list! The next one I have in line is a bit obscure, but should be good.
Biff Tannen wasn't on my list originally, but...that was stupid on my part. He's essential.
You've got good taste; Roger Rabbit is also my all-time favorite movie, and I learned a few new things. I never noticed the shoe kicking the cop, nor did I realize Lloyd cut his hair like that for the role. Side note: I'm impressed by the Weird Al decor the the background. :-)
My only criticism is that the buzzard's name, Voltaire, isn't pronounced VAHL-ih-TAHR, but Vole-TARE. It's the name of a French writer/historian/philosopher.
Aside from that nitpick, excellent video. :-) You'll be pleased to know I heard about it from a Roger Rabbit Facebook group, so you're bound to get some good publicity.
Hey, thank you so much! Ha, yes...Weird Al is definitely a big part of my life...like, HUGE. I'm really happy to hear that you learned something new! And I really appreciate the constructive criticism, instead of bashing or belittling me, or the video...as a result, I too learned something new! Thanks for that! Glad you liked it! 😊
@@TwinePoodle same! I wish there was a book about him too, like a canon book. I also wish there was a Judge Doom movie but oh well
@@Pheonix19765 A Judge Doom movie...that would be awesome!
@@TwinePoodle Ehh...I'm a little on the fence about that. I kinda like him being a more mysterious figure not to mention we have had plenty of villain backstory movies already. Also, if they go with giving him sympathetic motivations, I definitely wouldn't be interested.
@@tristanpetty7173 LOL there is no way possible to make Judge Doom's motivations sympathetic.
The issue I have with works of fiction like "Cruella" "Maleficent" and "Wicked" is that the characters' natures and their worlds are badly retconned, turning the "misunderstood villain" into a Mary Sue who never wronged anyone.
Bruh Cruella wanted to skin a bunch of puppies for coats. No amount of backstory can make her seem less evil unless you retcon that and claimed the original story was a lie.
I think "Oz the Great and Powerful" mostly did it right because although it acknowledged that Theodora was hurt or wronged in the past, it also acknowledged that in life, we have many paths we can take. And you see that she still chose the wrong one and that's ultimately on her.
If you read "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" although Judge Doom obviously wasn't in the story, he was heavily inspired by the DeGreasy brothers and that Genie.
While what they may say they wanted might not sound so bad, they still went about it the entirely wrong and narcissistic way so you still see that they are not good.
I think that approach could work somewhat, but as you said its not really necessary.
I was just thinking about this movie today. Wonderful video.
DUDE YOU DESERVE WAY MORE VIEWS!! I TOTALLY LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!

Thank you for this video still shook @ 34 years old #BestVillian of all time in film.
My favorite villain of all time
I was 13 when the movie came out, so I thought Judge Doom was HILARIOUS!!!
You're not the first to tell me that...I don't get it. 🤯
@@TwinePoodle I think it's because I find rage hilarious and his voice was super high. That's the same reason I love Bill Burr. He's the perfect mixture of Daffy and Donald Duck.
@@TwinePoodle Judge Doom is basically *all* of the villain cliches, has a few snarky/petty lines and has a few bumbling toony moments that he tries hard to supress yet fails.
Then when he's exposed to be a toon, the older kids and adults in the audience know *exactly* what's gonna happen to him and what his last words will be, so when it does that makes it all the more funny & satisfying.
Back in the 80s the memories of Reverend Jim and John Bigbootie were more fresh than they are now, so older kids and adults who recognized Christopher Lloyd immediately were seeing some similarities.
*That being said*
I first saw this film when I was 6 (on vhs in the early 90s) and Judge Doom was so horrifying to me that Act III was nearly unwatchable. Like my whole soul left my body in response to that.
But I was just saying that I "get" how older audiences found Judge Doom funny.
This is my #1 movie of all time, even as a kid. And a story my father lovee to tell people is when i was maybe 4-5 i would want this movie on a lot, and every, single, time Judge Doom revealed himself i would run away screaming even when i knew it was coming. My dad loves that story.
I can relate…my mom told me that when I was little, I was so terrified and could barely bring myself to look at him with those eyes…but I just simply had to watch. I’m glad to know I’m not alone in this world.
There is another bts animation/live action frame of Doom that is featured in the 1993 book The Disney Villain with the live action bit being black and white and the animated eyes being in color which definitely adds to the eeriness of the scene.
Oh sweet, thank you for the information! Im going to have to track that book down. 😁

Doom: I have red eyes and a squeaky high voice! Fear me!
Eddie: I know I'm supposed to be scared of you, but HAHAHA!
Doom: Screw This! (makes one of his hands into a buzzsaw).
Eddie: You're right. You're right I gotta beat you to save Roger and Jesssca-
Eddie sees Roger and Jessica's souls flying up due to laughing to death.

After hearing him talk about WFRR and how excited he was to play Fester Addams because he loved "The Addams Family" comics as a kid, I've come to the conclusion that Christopher Lloyd is a troll (I mean this as a compliment)
You see winks of troll energy come through in "Cuckoo's Nest" and moments on "Taxi" but also as Judge Doom.
*AFTER DIPPING THE SHOE*
Older 1st time viewers :
"Damn movie, it's like that?"
*Doom's face beneath the fumes smirking*
"It's *like* that. Problem?"
*WHEN REVEALING HIS BUZZSAW HAND*
"You think this can't cut through stuff, you bout to learn today!"
Thanks for all the ❤ 😃
Thanks for making this video. I love the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Judge Doom makes for the perfect villain. Judge Doom never did scare me, then again I love the villains. In any movie or show or book I always gravitate towards the villians as I find them way more interesting than any other characters... I saw the Roger Rabbit movie as a teenager. As soon as Judge Doom came on screen I knew right than he was the villain and had killed Acme, I didn't know why but I knew it was the Judge. It wasn't the dark clothes, but the fact that Judge Doom wore sunglasses indoors and wore his hat kinda low, like he was concealing something, that's how I knew he was the villain. I also noticed that before the reveal of his toon self, when Judge Doom smiles, it's an un-natural smile, un-human like smile... There are many unanswered questions about Judge Doom but like you, it's more fun to have it be a mystery. There are questions that I ponder over suxh as, being a toon, why does Doom hate his fellow toons? Even with the books, they don't resolve that question, I believe either a book or comic says that as a toon Judge Doom played a villain, got in an accident and somehow lost his memory and Judge Doom thought he was a real villain. However, in the reveal in the movie, the Judge knows he's a toon. Even before the reveal, the Judge knows he's a toon which is why he wears a glove to dip the shoe and when the dip is spilled over in the bar the Judge backs away as he knows since he's a toon, the dip would kill him too. So, since Judge Doom knows he's a toon, why hate his fellow toons? Why does Judge Doom specifically hate Roger Rabbit? Judge Doom frames Roger Rabbit for the murder of Acme and even before that, I think he had something to do with Jessica Rabbit being set up for those patty cake pictures so that Roger Rabbit will be upset and not be able to perform for audiences. Judge Doom seems to really hate Roger Rabbit specifically, but why? These questions have no answer but like you said, the mystery is more fun...
‘Roger Rabbit’ is a masterpiece. It’s up there with Snow White, Wizard of Oz & Star Wars.
In time people will recognize it as one of the greatest films ever made.
He is a perfect villain. Calm on the outside. Perfect crazy in the inside
I had a dream that he chased me through the neighborhood. What a trip.
Now we have to come up with something to help people (like you & me) overcome their Childhood Trauma of him
Sounds like an AA-esk meeting for Judge Doom victims. 😂
@@TwinePoodle What is an AA-esk meeting?
Alcoholics Anonymous-like
Villain series wow I am trying to kick some of them off to obviously my version yes I am interested
When i first saw the movie i was never scared of judge doom. I mean i seen movies like hellrasier but i wanted to be judge doom for Halloween
Judge Doom makes the film, but I really only remembered him from the scene where he revealed he killed Eddie's brother, and the bar scene. What I remember the most was the annoying weasels. "I'm gonna ram 'em!" stuck with me forever. Re-watching it as an adult, Judge Doom is the clear stand-out performance.
He’s definitely one of the most memorable villains of all time, no doubt!
Judge doom really did make the movie, the perfect villain
Judge Doom : A disturbed Toon with a Thousand Faces , Brilliant Makes a lot of sense. (Stephen King) is pretty twisted whoever made this character up was on another brainwave. Just Brilliant. Lots of Mystery still untold or unseen as to Judge Doom considering many edits from the script it was written but never made to the screen 🤔 yet it still existed in history. Fascinating.
One of the best twists in cinema history.
OMG, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is *also* my all time favorite film.
*I have found my people*
And I have subscribed awaiting your review!
I might have to review it in the near future…then AGAIN down the road. My “larger than necessary” plans involve things I currently don’t know how to pull off at the moment…
@@TwinePoodle Then I can't wait for both of those then!
Him getting crushed by the roller and creepy laugh..so freakin terrifying
hey bro, i was traumatized by doom as well. BADLY traumatized
Yeah man...he definitely left a terrifying impact on many. I just had another dream about him last night oddly enough. 😬 He's still going strong in the dreams of many!
Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of the best darkest Disney villains alongside Judge Claude Frollo from Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Emperor Belos from The Owl House. Roger Rabbit is one of my favorite Disney movies though
Oh man…Frollo…I dunno, he might be worse than Judge Doom…
@@TwinePoodle oh yeah Frollo is worse. I don’t know if you watched The Owl House before but if you haven’t, you should check it out when you get a chance. The show has a terrifying villain named Emperor Belos and he’s human but has a curse but he blames his curse on witches. They didn’t nothing to him and he’s also a colonizer and cult leader. The Owl House is on Disney Channel and new episodes premiere on Saturday mornings around 9:00am. If you have Disney Plus, you can check out all the season 1 and season 2a and season 2b episodes.
Awesome video mate thanks!
Glad you liked it!
The dip scene scarred me for life
I'd love to see you evaluate Dr viper from the swat kats series. He was unique amongst the villains in that series I think.
Hmmm, that's a good idea!
One thing I noticed during the movie was that at the end when judge doom starts melting, yellow paint seeps out of judge doom instead of blue paint, if judge doom's true form stayed how it was originally portrayed, he would have blue paint seeping out of him instead of yellow paint, so that means that his true form was indeed never truly revealed because baron von rotten was blue so he would leak blue paint, OR he was using a different toon form while also wearing judge doom's disguise.
I’m curious where you got blue paint from…I thought it was supposed to be yellow, based on the saw and anvil, and the paint on the rope? Did I miss something? 🧐
Great video
I used to always think Judge Doom was a Toon-Human offspring that went psychotic
The part that scared me the most is when that saw blade on his are came out.😬
This video was awesome 🤩 I was traumatised by judge doom when I was 6.
I made this video for people like us!
I was traumatised by him at 8. Not a children's movie.
Judge Doom/ Baron Von Rotten true and final form is a Terminator
Oh god… 😂
Judge Doom is a terrifying villain. Though the idea that he was Baron Von Rotton or Pistol Packn Possum is good, I thought he would be a toon from the movie Cool World. Cool World is another movie that mixes live action with animation, except Rodger Rabbit did everything better. In Cool World, all the toons look mean and not child friendly( basically cartoons not made by Disney or Warner Bros.), while the environment looks like a hellish version of Toon Town. Of course this can’t work because Who Framed Rodger Rabbit came out before Cool World.
My interest is peaked...I've never seen Cool World...🤔
Adding it to my watch list.
Curiously enough the original screenplay of "Cool World" was severely edited and butchered.
The original vision was to have the film be about a character who was the love child of a noid and a doodle (a "human and a toon" in that universe) who had bitter self-hatred issues and became a serial killer....Hmmmm
@@msannethropp7497And then the editors turned it into a Roger Rabbit knockoff behind Bakshi's back
There are rumors Bakshi intentionally sabotaged the film in anger
Tim Curry V.S. Christopher Lloyd? Yeah hard to tell who would have been a better Judge Doom #GreatActors
This was supposed to be a kids movie,but if you watch it again as an adult,you realize this movie is for adults not kids.
Oh for sure…so much of it went over my head as a kid.
This was awesome man!!
Thanks, Thrasha! 😁
You forgot to mention that his plot about dismantling the tram system in LA and replacing it with a freeway actually happened IRL
Yeah whenever I think I’ve done a thorough job, I always realize I could have done more.
3:22 - Volitar? No. Voltaire = Vol-Tear (as in tear a piece of paper). Like the French writer.
That’s already been addressed in the comments.
Came back to this today after the announcement that Oogie Boogie Bash, Disneyland's trick-or-treat trail, is adding Judge Doom to the 2023 lineup of characters.
Oh for real?? That’s awesome! I was under the impression that Disney “forgot” all about this character.
Try 15, 16, 17, 18 years old and need a Judge Doom costume
you deserve so many more views and subs dude wtf!?
I appreciate that…hopefully the algorithm blesses us someday! Thanks for the kind words! ☺️
Chris lee would have been terrifying as judge doom
I thought Christopher Lloyd was pretty damn scary!
Nice job, i like your work on this character because he comes from my favorite movie ever.
By Cm
Thanks, CM! Glad you like it!
There is one scene in this movie that is missing that I wish more would talk or know and it has to do with a photo of Judge Doom himself on the Dip Canon and not the crazy White Toon that was using it.
I know which one you’re talking about now that I think of it…It’s been a long time since I saw the picture, I forgot all about it
I found out who animated his cartoon eyes and hands, Peter Western, fellow animator Colin White said so on Facebook.
Hmmm…interesting. I might have to go down that rabbit hole and see if I can find out more…
When he revealed his true form, that was some scary shit!…
One more thought here, in the movie when Judge Doom makes his first appearance he talks about the dip, which is made of turpentine, acetone, and benzene which is essentially paint thinner so it would dissolve a painted toon into nothingness... There are some things wrong with this. First is that the statement is made at the beginning of the movie that this dip is the only way to kill a toon. However, Judge Doom keeps telling the weasels to stop laughing as they would one day laugh themselves to death. This is exactly what happens at the end of the movie, Eddie Valient acts silly and makes the weasels laugh themselves to death. So, apparently, there is more than one way to kill a toon, there's not only the dip but they can laugh themselves to death as the weasels did. The second thing is, that the dip only works for painted toons. If a toon was drawn or animated in any other way other than paint, the dip would be harmless to the toon and it's awfully arrogant for Judge Doom to assume that all of the toons in Toontown were all painted when some could have been drawn at the time. Last but not least, we all know, that like Soap Opera characters, toons never really die. Even after being dipped, all someone had to do was animate that toon again and the toon could come back so a future animator could easily bring back the shoe or Judge Doom by simply drawing them again, so they aren't really gone...
Imagine if Doom was in Kingdom Hearts?
That would be awesome!
Technically he is. Christopher Lloyd took over for Master Xeanort in Kingdom Hearts Re: Mind after the passings of Leonard Nimoy and Rutger Hauer. It may not be Doom, but for now it's close enough. Now they can just make Roger a summon knocking out Heartless with the boxing glove mallet.
Two foreign dubs found a way to make him scarier. In the Spanish dub, he laughs like an evil clown when he jumps with his springs, and hisses when he cuts the chains with his saw. In the Brazilian dub, the pitch of his voice lowers as he "melts". Also, the kangaroo jury was also going to appear in the bar in response to a barfly saying Roger should have a trial. Two other candidates to play Doom were Alec Baldwin and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I hadn’t even thought to listen to the other dubs on the blu ray…I’ll have to check those out! And yeah I just made a video on the 3rd draft script, and forgot to put in the kangaroo court appearance in…ugh.
@@TwinePoodle
Can you imagine Schwarzenegger as Doom?
It's really interesting to me, I wouldn't say I was extremely traumatized by doom, but the one thing that stuck with me forever was when his eyes became knives, maybe a lil trauma there. But for some reason we search out those things that traumatize us. and we also love them for some reason. My theory is that the only true currency (in terms of movies becoming classics) is memorability. That can be accomplished in many ways, shock value/trauma, comedy, or just some inexplicable thing woven into whats shown on the screen. Doom has that in spades. It's hard to say exactly why some things are memorable and some things are forgettable but it's something. Some certain visuals and scenes just seem to stick with you.
I whole heartedly agree. I can honestly say I wish I would have said exactly this in the video…I’m jealous that you said it instead of me! Haha I love this comment! Thank you for writing in!
@@TwinePoodle you can definitely steal it from me and use it in another video if you want to!
Hey, I saw this really cool movie called “Power Child” by Russell Rapp. Can you review it here?
I don’t have any current plans, but never say never!
What type of toon is judge doom?
It's a mystery...
If you read the film's rough draft script, the writers wanted Doom to be made out of *red paint* instead of yellow and for you to actually *see* his hands shape shift.
So I say that he was a toon demon.
2:35 a popcorn fart? 😂
Ha...I can't explain myself.. 😝
Why is sans in background 4:06
I’m not sure
Enjoyed this. Is there a detailed plot breakdown/explanation somewhere that you recommend? I rewatched recently (loved it), but have some plot questions. 1) did Judge Doom set up the frame job from the start? I.e. he told Maroon he would only buy the studio if Acme sold too, so he got Maroon to force Jessica to pose for the patty-cake pictures, knowing he would kill Acme and use the photos to frame Roger (he would have had to have known that Acme was sweet on Jessica, but then I guess that wasn't a secret, Betty certainly knew)? Or did he just see an opportunity and frame Roger after Maroon plotted to blackmail Acme? 2) Why did he need to kill Acme, they were already planning to blackmail him (maybe he knew even with blackmail Acme would never sell Toontown, so he had to kill him)? 3) How did the pattycake pictures get out? Everyone seemed to know about it the next day - but if Maroon wanted to blackmail Acme, he would have kept the pictures private, right? 4) What was Maroon's motiviation? Apparently at the start he wanted to blackmail Acme so he could sell. But then in the end he says he didnt' want to see the Toons destroyed (was he trying to get Acme's will to save Toontown?). He certainly wasn't doing that before he started the plot in motion. Thanks!
These are all interesting points... 🤔...I don't know of a detailed breakdown off the top of my head.
1.) Yes Judge Doom set up the frame job from the very beginning. This sounds all the more reasonable if you subscribe to the "Pistol Packin Possum" theory but even if you don't, it makes sense.
2.) Judge Doom had to kill Marvin Acme because Acme owned Toontown, and Judge Doom can only legally destroy Toontown if *he owns it*
On the last night that Acme was alive, he confided in Jessica Rabbit that Doom "wanted to get his hands on Toontown and he wouldn't stop at anything" then gave her the will to keep safe in her dressing room and it was written in "disappearing-reappearing ink" for extra security in case Doom and/or his minions try to search for it and destroy it...According to the deleted "Pighead Scene" that is exactly what happened. The Toon Patrol didn't find the will because Roger inadvertently took it to use as a love letter. But even if Roger didn't do this, the search would've been unsuccessful because the ink was still invisible at this point.
So Acme knew that Judge Doom wanted him dead and put out all the stops to protect Toontown from beyond the grave, in case that were to happen.
R.K. Maroon however, was completely blindsided by Acme's murder, as I will explain more in the next reply...
*Continued*
In response to 3 and 4
After Acme is murdered, we don't see R.K. Maroon onscreen again until Eddie's confrontation/interrogation of him (this is also the final time we see him)
In this scene Maroon is paranoid, shifty-eyed, guarded and has a gun out ready for self-defense. He now knows that "Cloverleaf" lied to him, murdered Acme instead of the blackmail as they planned and suspects that "Cloverleaf" is coming for him next.
I keep saying "Cloverleaf" because its not really clear if Maroon ever discovered that Cloverleaf is Doom. If he did at all, it was only after Acme was murdered.
R.K. Maroon said that he considered Marvin Acme a "friend". He had to have known that Doom was antagonizing his "friend" for control over Toontown.
The whole time Maroon corresponded with Cloverleaf it could have been human decoys that Doom paid off to represent "Cloverleaf" or even an alternate "human" persona with a completely different disguise and voice from the "Judge Doom" persona.
What we do know is that since Maroon armed himself with a gun and not a bottle of turpentine, he *believed* that he is being threatened by another human the entire time.
It's also clear from his "I'm a cartoon maker not a murderer!" pleas was that he was not in on the murder of Acme and never supported it (even if he unwittingly enabled it)
Lastly to answer you on how & why the pattycake photos got out so quickly :
At that point, R.K. Maroon trusted Cloverleaf to simply "blackmail" Marvin Acme with the photos so he freely handed them over to Cloverleaf to do just this...He's a busy cartoon maker after all. He didn't have the time, it also looks less unflattering for him.
Instead what actually happened was that Doom and/or the weasels (Cloverleaf) had to wait for Roger to stop hanging around the Gag Factory crying over Jessica (or simply order him to go away or get dipped) then contact Marvin Acme (whose sleep was probably disrupted thus his judgement is off) and threaten him with the pictures to lure him into the Gag Factory where a safe boobytrap is waiting for him.
Shortly after doing the deed, Doom contacted the local press with the pictures *and* the news of Marvin Acme's murder.
This does not look sus to the human media because a safe was dropped on Marvin Acme's head (only toons do that) and the yellow paint on the sliced rope is irrefutable evidence of a yellow-handed toon's act and Doom's weasels don't have yellow hands..
There's also a paragraph in the headline that mentions that Marvin Acme had no will (which Baby Herman knew was a lie) and Doom repeats this lie in the deleted Pighead Scene.
Hope I answered your questions 😊
The comic saying that Doom is Baron is not canon to the movie; I most believe that his true identity is Pistol Possum. But yeah it's better to think his identity will always be a mistery.
I agree. My one and only issue with Pistol Packin Possum is, I don’t see any yellow paint anywhere on him…HOWEVER, he’s the only possibility imo. Why else would that poster be highlighted when Maroon is murdered?
1: The Baron Von Rotten thing is alright, but what I find most fascinating is the scrapped idea of Judge Doom being originally drawn as the hunter who killed Bambi's mother. He's just a shadow/sillouhette in a handful of frames and he has one purpose: to kill. After this, The Hunter is discarded and forgotten, consigned to oblivion, the only attention given him is the hatred and horror of the kids who watched the movie. So here is this shadow, literally drawn to kill, and he sees his fellow toons become famous and beloved. Already imbued with an instinct to kill, he descends deeper into hatred and a desire for revenge, warping into a chaotic entity of pure Toon evil. Judge Doom is just his way of passing himself off as a human and thus gaining access to the very powers of creation and destruction. Thus, THE DIP.
I love it!
I just wanna know that what doom real face look like
Someone made a pic of Judge Doom of what he looks like under the mask. Some Otter
Lol yeah its scary how the original roger rabbit would kill such a wild character who essentially was so chaotic due to being a rabbit that he would come back even scarier
Hmmm…🤔 I never thought of it like that…

2:04 gosh he looks terrifying😳
4:38 gosh that looks terrifying as well!😳😨😰

6:03 lol lmao 🤣 😂
kangaroo court found the shoe guilty because the shoe isnt guilty, its a kangaroo court.
Thanks for clarifying
I always thought doom was half man and half toon
Look at Temple of Doom (my favourite Indiana Jones movie) it's dark as anything and talk about terrifying. And it's a family friendly movie? The reason today's family friendly movies are rubbish is because they don't have a guy's heart being rip out of his chest while he's still alive

I would love to see bad guys how are you can do all the bad guys and animations movies in specially animes I would love to say that actually and I remember watching Roger rabbit I’m surprised I still remember watching that that movie with Judge to him when his eyes came out it’s still it’s I still remember to this day I wonder if I can ever remake dead to me again I don’t know how Christopher lawyers to play that character again but I would love to see ya gym and another season or another movie I guess I may be a crossover who knows if you guys left stage do you more how are you how are you get scared or hate her more despise up I would love to see him in another picture I’m actually
Micheal Myers etc. never scared me.
THIS thing? Even as a grown ass man, this thing is what makes me feel unsafe while watching this film.
Up until this point it’s been a detective film while having elements for kids AND adults.
But this part? There was just no way to prepare for something like this. You KNOW what you are getting into with Myers, Chucky, etc. but this abomination feels like a genuine invasion into a film it doesn’t belong and to this day causes me revulsion.
And the stakes are more personal. His plan is to murder Bugs, Mickey, etc in the most heinous way. Just imagining if Doom SUCCEEDED is more disturbing to me than killers with knives.
Your input on just how invasive this scene is exactly how I feel about it. I don’t say that as a dis either…it’s my favorite scene…but to me, the movie turns to genuine horror for two minutes…
I would love Tim Curry
so accidently kicking a cop in the balls means the shoe is subject to death? hey, this aint N. Korea
Vol-tare
I’ve admitted my crimes in another Roger Rabbit video.
Looks like your parents never knew this movie was barely intended for children, let alone toddlers. I've theorized that that generator of parents were kids in the 70s when their parents made them watch Scooby Doo, and then they grew up thinking all cartoonies were Scooby Doo.. so they thought it was OK for their 80s and 90s kids to watch anything animated with Bugs Bunny and Donald Duck, also forgetting how different a 3-year-old thinks compared to an 8-year-old and a 12-year-old.
It's kind of why newly married couples should take a course on child psychology before becoming parents, it's kind of why parents should understand animation history before plopping their children before the TV and running off.
Yeah…to be fair I think it was my cousins who were babysitting me who showed it to me, and probably thought it was fine. I have a surprisingly vivid memory of that day.
Well nerd 🤓 looks like you and me have something in common.😎👍
I knew I’d find my people this way!
