I brought this into class one day and literally everyone shouted "HE'S A TOON!?" Apparently, I was the only one who watched this movie beforehand, even the teacher was shocked
What makes this scene even more creepy is Valiant's reaction. Just look at him - he is absolutely terrified. Throughout the entire movie, he was a hard-boiled detective who had never shown fear. Even when facing impending death, he seems either resigned to his fate (like when he thinks Jessica is about to shoot him) or just frustrated (when Doom is about to run him over with a road roller). But when he realizes that he is standing face to face with his brother's killer, he completely breaks down and tries to run away. Bob Hoskins' acting is what really sells this one.
@@blackdruidhymns5333 yeah, especially since he had to visualize those burning red eyes and animated weapons in the filming. Bob Hoskins sure did a convincing performance.
Also when the tip is getting close Roger has Jessica in his lap willingly putting his life on the line if it will buy her a few more seconds to survive
This movie was truly one in a million! Margaret Hamilton who played the the wicked witch would be proud that Judge Doom used her lines and performed so well.
Watching Doom being destroyed by his own creation is as poetic justice as it could get, now he knows how that poor shoe felt when he slowly put him to death just to demonstrate the dip.
@@jamesalvisii8491Judge Doom had quite a few deaths to answer for. Or actually, murders. The murder of Marvin Acme, which he framed Roger for. The murder of Roger's boss, R. K. Maroon, owner of the Maroon Cartoon Studios The murder by dip of a cartoon show And last but not least, that of Theodore"Teddy" Valiant, brother of Edward "Eddie" Valiant.
“HOLY SMOKE, HE’S A TOON!” We will miss you Bob Hoskins. Thank you for being our childhood & you’ll always be our funny actor, whether you’re hated or favorited, but you’ll always be famous. Rest In Peace😢😔🙏
There are many subtle hints throughout the whole entire movie of Who Framed ROGER RABBIT that helped gave away the fact that Judge Doom was actually not a real human being, but a Toon in disguise: •Judge Doom’s behavior whenever he is using or around his own DIP is actually rather very curious. Because when he first uses his DIP, he wears a black rubber glove🧤 to help protect himself, suggesting that he wears it to avoid getting soaked we of course later find out that is actually his right toon hand that won’t melt. Then after the DIP gets kicked over by Eddie Valiant as a distraction during the bar fight with the Toon Patrol in Dolores’ bar, Judge Doom quickly backs away from the spill. The other bar patrons back away from it as well making it less obvious. Also, when Judge Doom decides to get Benny the Cab🚕 off the road so he can capture Eddie Valiant and Jessica Rabbit, he kicks the drum of DIP and keeps a safe distance from it. •If you look👀 very closely, it is shown that Judge Doom always has a mysterious ominous wind gently rustling at his clothing, even if Judge Doom is indoors the human characters’ clothing will stay still. •It is noted that whenever Judge Doom is shown on-screen, he always never ever blinks. This was likely an allusion to the fact that his face was actually revealed to be nothing but a rubber mask and fake eyeballs 👀 as part of his disguise. •When Judge Doom accidentally slips on some fake eyeballs, he doesn’t actually directly fall but only slips a few times until he finally suddenly falls. In reality, a human being would actually fall directly after slipping only once which Eddie Valiant did. Also, when Judge Doom gets back on his feet after falling, he hides one of his eyes, not because he is in physical pain but to actually conceal his real red Toon eyeballs with the fake ones he is wearing. •Eddie Valiant states that Judge Doom’s “lamebrain freeway idea could be cooked up by a Toon”. •When Judge Doom is run over by the steamroller in the ACME Factory, he’s merely compressed and flattened. If he were a human being, It would’ve actually been a lot more bloodier, gorier and messier. •In TOONTOWN, when Jessica Rabbit shoots Judge Doom to help save Eddie Valiant from Judge Doom, Judge Doom is moments later running away but yet seemingly unaffected by the gunshot fired by Jessica Rabbit.
FARMER GIOVANNI *But wait, there's more* Bob Hoskins, Joanna Cassidy and all of the other actors deliver their lines as if they're in a 1940s film (which is appropriate). "Judge Doom" on the other hand, speaks with such gravitas, as if Christopher Lloyd is delivering every line, like he's *in a theater* At first, we all think that's because he's stuffy and humorless (which is probably part of it) but in retrospect, as the film goes on, it becomes apparent that he is *incapable* of speaking like a natural human being, because he isn't one. On that note, when he takes Eddie & Jessica to the Acme factory he *monologues* his dastardly plan and ties up Jessica and Roger a la Snidely Whiplash which are all "cartoon villain tropes 101" In addition to no blinking, the makeup applied to Lloyd exaggerates his chin & nose to the point of looking like a caricature. He has huge obviously fake teeth. His "skin" is so pale, he doesn't appear to have capillaries. The makeup also gives off the optical illusion that he has no lips. Nonexistent lips is how the vast majority of humanoid toons are drawn. Like with the safe and piano, it's just like a toon to want to dispatch someone with a steamroller.
Can't forget the part where Doom and Eddie first interact. Doom pretty much said that he would think someone like Eddie would take the death of a human allegedly by a toon more seriously.
Him being flattened and screaming was uneasy to take. Him moving around all weird after being flattened didn't help. His eyes popping out nearly got me, but when he turns towards Eddy with that wicked grin and those freakish cartoon eyes ....that did it. For a long time afterwards this was a "fast forward" scene.
A gem of a film. Still glad to have it on cassete, and I'll never forget watching it when I was younger as a kid during my childhood. Extremely underrated this film was, and extraordinary especially with the effects they had. When it was released there was almost nothing like it, as not many films were able to have this style, and effects as the technology like CGI didn't exist yet, and this film accomplished so much for it's time. Top tier actors, characters, animations, storyline, soundtrack and honestly to me it was perfect. A true classic, worth watching. I'll never forget this film, and it's sad seeing the actors, and creators who made this possible, go, but it is what it is. Legend of a film. They don't make these anymore, but what a time it was.
Iirc by this point CGI was VERY NEW and it would probably not be able to recreate the same effects as you would with actual hand animated toons Which is actually true because we've yet to be able to stimulate hand animation via cgi effectively at such a large scale after decades too
Mehmeh Meh. Lloyd gave a most authentic portrayal of an *inauthentic* person, throughout the entire movie. Hoskins was excellent too. He was reacting to and interacting with thin air throughout the whole movie. Here in this scene, where Eddie sees Doom for what he truly is, he looks terrified out of his mind. Like he knows he's about to die horribly.
My dad took me to the movies to see this when it was first released (in the 1980s). I do not think he knew that a movie that featured the likes of Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse would also have scary parts like this. I remember he spent a lot of the movie running time checking on me and asking "are you alright?" - making sure I was not pissing myself (getting scared to death) or whatever. Sure, this whole scene (and also the part where Doom dips the toon shoe) did frighten me at the time but I would not have missed seeing this on the big screen for anything.. This has always been my favourite movie and I think that it always will be. [I believe there is just something magical about the movies we see at the cinema during our childhoods.] More recently, I was looking through some old family photos, there was one of myself [taken in the late 1980s] where I was wearing a Roger Rabbit shirt and shorts [pants], standing next to a Roger Rabbit poster whilst holding my Roger Rabbit plush.. You can easily see in the photo just how much this movie meant to me.
so when Jessica was saying how much she loved roger in their final moments and all that chemical dip was getting closer to them I guess you could say it was a........ CHEMICAL ROMANCE!! who ever gets my reference or pun is amazing
God I love this movie. The mix of cartoons and dark detective fantasy is perfect for adults and kids alike. Plus the animation for the time is phenomenal.
I barely remember this film. But when I was young, I thought cartoons were an actual thing you can meet irl when I watched this film and Space Jam LOL. Ah, good times.
liszst the actor who played eddie’s actual son who was little back then was upset that his father never got a cartoon character home for a visit He too thought they were real actors
Fun fact: Tim Curry auditioned for the role of Judge Doom, but the producers and director found his performance too scary. Either way, I would have LOVED to have seen the audition footage.
Funny... THIS scene was actually the FIRST scene I've EVER seen from this movie. I was, like, four, when I saw this scene on TV, and then saw a bunch of random famous cartoon characters come out. I was just confused at the time, wondering, "What the hex is going on?" I was more confused than scared, mostly because I saw this scene from a distance. That and I saw it play by much faster than this. -- Later, I heard of this movie called "Roger Rabbit" where toons interacted with the real world. I saw parts of it on TH-cam and got intrigued. Then I saw Doom again, and he REALLY gave me chills up my spine! So much so that I had to block the screen! But then, to think that THIS was the first thing I ever saw from this movie, it really tickled my funny bone. -- I now own the movie and love it to death! Even the frightening Doom scene.
Oh my God, now that I think about it, I think the same thing happened to me!! This scene is the earliest I can recall from this movie when I was a kid.
One of the best cartoon movies! Also one of the best directed movies in general due to the actors needing to know exactly where, when, and how to react to every scene with a toon in it.
2:59-3:17 Am I the only one enjoying the satisfaction that is Eddie Valiant witnessing the traumatizing enemy that killed his brother, and haunted him, melt away before his very eyes? Eddie is the avenger here.
2:33 since Christopher Lloyd also played Rasputin in Anastasia. Here's something. "This is for the shoe" "This is for Teddy" "And this, this is for you"
A reference from Anastasia (1997) movie This is for Teddy This is for the shoe This is for Marvin Acme This is for RK Maroon This is for Jessica and Roger
Farrah SugaryCandy The funny coincidence about that is : In the live-action movie, Matthew Broderick was wearing huge obviously fake teeth (exactly like Judge Doom's) during his "RoboGadget" portrayal. Which makes sense as both characters have artificial faces.
2:56 ''AAH! You cursed detective! Look what you've done! I'm melting, melting! Oh what a world, what a world! Who would have thought that a good detective like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness? Oh, look out, look out! I'm going!''
Ever since I was a kid Doom’s face after he turns into a toon terrified me and still to this day it does. Christopher Lloyd was perfectly cast for that character and his voice just fits
My all-time favorite scene from any movie. I was about three years old when I first saw this...WAY too young, so you can imagine how that went. I love Christopher Lloyd when he talks about this character. He says that when he was a young kid, he'd go to showings of movies like Snow White, which had some frightening imagery with the witch and all, to which he said, "for me, that was nightmare fuel. So when I played Judge Doom, I thought: PAYBACK!"
I know he also mentioned Bambi as being another film that scared him when he was younger... Which becomes a little funny in hindsight when you consider the original idea for Doom was for him to be the guy who killed Bambi's mother. On a related note, did anyone see Lloyd's Twitter Q&A for the movie while he was promoting the Prop Culture show on Disney+? He mentioned that his favorite scene that he did was the shoe dipping scene. He really seems like a cool guy in person but damn!
Literally my childhood right here. I remember watching this as a kid on cassete and even now I honestly can't believe how this movie came out in 1988, it was way WAY ahead of its time. Very glad that I still have the cassete for it as well to when I watched it with my brother during our childhood when we were kids. Like there was nothing that could compare against it, not even its style, effects, and not even technology like CGI existed at this time, like this wasn't even CGI at all, like literally no other movie was nothing like it. It was on its own, in its own world, category and etc. This was way before CGI was even a thing. Like its so amazing how much they accomplished back in the day when they first came out with this. They were literally one of the first to do it as well. Pure nostalgia, and memories from my childhood of watching this as a child. Such an underrated film that you honestly could keep going and going on about constantly like I am right now, talking about how amazing it is, what it meant to me as a child as well as now and much more. Even the actors were amazing, characters, the animation itself, the storyline, the soundtrack and so many references to other films as well as characters like at least to me this was an amazing film, and if anyone does complain I don't see why they would since its undeserved as well as shouldn't be criticized. This is honestly such a classical film. Like even now I haven't forgotten about it when I watched it during my childhood when I was just a kid on the VHS, on cassete. Kids nowadays don't even know how it was back in the day, and how amazing movies like these were. Like what a time this was. They just don't make movies like these anymore either. Truly one of a kind as well as legendary. Such good times, and what an amazing time it was like I said. Like I could just keep going and going on about how much this film just means to me as well as my brother when we watched it during our childhood as kids and what it still means to us. Truly a spectacle of unlimited words to say, describe, explain and talk about. Not trying to spoil it either.
This is for Teddy! This is for R.K Maroon! This is for Marvin Acme, this is for trying to destroy Toontown, and our favorite Toons in it to build that bird-brained freeway. and this, This is for the Shoe... you psychopathic toon DASVIDANYA!!!!!
Glad you remembered that shoe, who especially didn't deserve it. That's like when Simpson killed his ex-wife and Ron Goldman got in the way. Ron is like the shoe.
Not really. Then again, not a lot of things scared me as a kid. The only thing that remotely scared me or gave me nightmares as a kid, was the Jackal from Thirteen Ghosts. That guy still scares the hell out of me.
+Marshall the firepup I think this was the first film that Christopher Lloyd was on where he was a bad guy. The other movie he was a bad guy on was the movie "Dennis The Menace."
@@afriendofbean No, that would be "Stark Trek III" (1984) where he was the Klingon villain, Commander Kruge. And although Lloyd was more of a minion than a villain, he was among the evil "Lectroids" from "Buckaroo Banzai" which was also years before Roger Rabbit. He was also villains in many other bit parts or obscure movies and TV shows, before this movie was made. It's just that *this role* is his first villain role that actually scared people. His best villain role IMO.
+Brady Hartsfield Yes, I remember Star Trek III. I guess Christopher Lloyd played more of a good guy in most movies than a bad guy. Also yes, I found it a little scary seeing Christopher Lloyd as a villain here wearing a dark trench coat and hat and the way how he was able to magically get Roger Rabbit to come to him in the bar scene. Also I used to think when I was young, what I should do if Judge Doom got a hold of me and dunked me in his "Dip" when I didn't know it was only a cartoon killing liquid. (Of course, after Doom died here, I was hoping that cartoon sneaker he dunked in the "Dip" came back since that sometimes happens in movies when a bad guy dies, the ones who he kills come back to life).
I first saw this when I was 5. Judge Doom gave me nightmares. And now I watch this scene over 10 years later, and appreciate how Drugsy this movie looked.
0:10 The look on Jessica and Rodger's faces. Also I just noticed that while everyone looks away from Doc-I mean Judge being crushed, Rodger is still watching!
@@richardhernandez4490 Maybe given that he does it quite a bit himself, the OTT screaming tipped him off. Roger may be a little dense at times but there are a few instances where he shows he's a bit smarter than he appears. I mean earlier on in the climax, he did figure out ahead of Jessica what Eddie was doing when making the weasels laugh.
@@a.jcheshiremen7822 Not at all. That lame-brain freeway idea could only be cooked up by a cartoon. Like when they end up flattened by a steamroller without blood and gore, they deflated themselves to survive.
That scene where his eyes pop out and he turns to reveal those twisted cartoonish eyes left a mental scar in my brain when I was 9 years old. Damn, this movie scared me but it's so good.
OMFG this scene scared the F*** out of as a kid. The part with the roller crushing him was terrifying and the voice was worse. I would rather face off against any horror movie villan then that abomination.
Judge Doom's reveal as the villain was not at all surprising (I mean, come on, after he killed that shoe, we knew he was bad), but I would argue with anyone that the reveal of Doom AS A TOON is one of cinema's greatest plot twists, right up there along with the likes of Sixth Sense and Empire Strikes Back. Viewing in hindsight, there were very subtle hints, but I think you'd be hardpressed to find any viewer who saw that coming. One of the reasons being is that it goes against the typical formula. Toons were created to bring joy and laughter to others, they are pure and innocent, the evil comes from MAN. In man vs nature movies, "man" is often the villain. But when Doom is revealed to be a toon, that mentality is flipped on its face, especially with him being driven by, essentially, corporate greed, a very human trait. Yes, Eddie overcame his prejudice of toons, but there ARE bad toons. If you applied this to another area, it'd be like if there was a movie made about racism, which it would probably be a white male, who is racist against blacks or Jews, learns the error of his ways, but then to have the villain ending up being black or Jewish. Clever subversion of expectations and a lesson that evil transcends race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or in the case of WFRR, human and toon.
0:37 This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I say rather this part "Holy shit! He's an cartoon!" 0:42 "Not really, that lamebrain freeway idea can only be cooked up by a cartoon."
As I got older this scene became my favorite. I always loved imitating voices and Chistpher Lloyd's high pitched "Judge Doom" is my favorite. When he melts from the dip it's funny as heck because as many know it comes from the Wizard of Oz.
Even as a kid I couldn't grasp how this made it as a kids' movie, that mother f**ker was terrifying, and my siblings and I were traumatized for literal years!
I brought this into class one day and literally everyone shouted "HE'S A TOON!?" Apparently, I was the only one who watched this movie beforehand, even the teacher was shocked
Puddinghead 3434 that must have been very fun!! 😊
Well did they like, find out before he was crushed by the steamroller? Because if not, I’d really like to know how they reacted to him being crushed.
@@cityoftruro2767 No, they legitimately thought he was crushed till he got back up. It was quite the reaction to see
Puddinghead 3434, Damn.
How did the class feel about Jessica scenes

This, a thousand times this. The sheer terror on his face is haunting; Hoskins really nailed this part.
What makes it even worse is that Doom/Von Rotten is _gloating gleefully_ about it, with a sadistic look on his face.
Exactly. People say this scene terrified them as kids... no... it's the reaction of Eddie that makes the scene.
@@blackdruidhymns5333 yeah, especially since he had to visualize those burning red eyes and animated weapons in the filming. Bob Hoskins sure did a convincing performance.
It's sorta scary to imagine what doom looked like with out the mask since we only see his eyes
If you look closely, you'll see that Jessica and Rodger never let go of each other's hands.
What if Jessica was a rabbit like Roger?
Also when the tip is getting close Roger has Jessica in his lap willingly putting his life on the line if it will buy her a few more seconds to survive

i like how roger and jessica held hands the entire time they were tied up
Sandy Angel literally just noticed that! so cuteeee
Not to mention Roger has her on his lap as the dip is nearing them. Almost surprising he doesn't get included as a cowardly lion on TvTropes
There is also a pet where they’re chained, I think it’s when Doom is getting splashed, Roger is using his ears to cover Jessica’s eyes

Omg it's true, never noticed, why is that tho? seems even a little unnecessary, such a dark easter egg
You can thank Yosemite Sam for that, since he was seen shooting people on a train in one episode
And another thing, Corey Burton (The current voice of Captain Hook, Ludwig Von Drake, and Dale) did Doom's Toon voice.
I didn't notice that until now
Omg that is dark as heck
his scream kills earphone users
bristar32 It sure killed me.

Did anyone else think of Rackaracka’s Ronald McDonald scream whey they heard Judge Doom’s scream?
I kind of liked how Jessica and Roger were holding hands for the entire time they were tied up together
My dad took me to the movies to see this when it was first released (in the 1980s). I do not think he knew that a movie that featured the likes of Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse would also have scary parts like this. I remember he spent a lot of the movie running time checking on me and asking "are you alright?" - making sure I was not pissing myself (getting scared to death) or whatever. Sure, this whole scene (and also the part where Doom dips the toon shoe) did frighten me at the time but I would not have missed seeing this on the big screen for anything.. This has always been my favourite movie and I think that it always will be. [I believe there is just something magical about the movies we see at the cinema during our childhoods.]
More recently, I was looking through some old family photos, there was one of myself [taken in the late 1980s] where I was wearing a Roger Rabbit shirt and shorts [pants], standing next to a Roger Rabbit poster whilst holding my Roger Rabbit plush.. You can easily see in the photo just how much this movie meant to me.
This was just too cute to not read.
Cherished memories.
I doubt anybody else could've pulled this off so convincingly. Christopher Lloyd is one if the greatest character actors of all time.
2:58 I'M MEEEELTTIIIIIIING! I'M MEEEEEEELTING! OHHH WHAT A WORLD!!! WHAT A WOOOOOORLLLLD!!!
WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT AN ORDINARY MAN LIKE YOU COULD DESTROY MY TOONIE WICKEDNESS!!
Me: (to Eddie) He's...he's dead. You've killed him.
*tosses water at the wicked witch and judge doom* Hehehehehhehehe 😈😈😈😈
'HAIL TO EDDIE, JUDGE DOOM IS DEAD!!!!"
Was this wizard of oz reference intentional?
I find the idea of an evil cartoon character masqquerading as a human among real people (live-action) utterly fascinating😁
why?

Oh , and judge doom melting is an omage of wicked witch of the west melting
so when Jessica was saying how much she loved roger in their final moments and all that chemical dip was getting closer to them I guess you could say it was a........
CHEMICAL ROMANCE!!
who ever gets my reference or pun is amazing

Just the sort of thing that could make anyone’s heart MELT.

God I love this movie. The mix of cartoons and dark detective fantasy is perfect for adults and kids alike.
Plus the animation for the time is phenomenal.
WTF THIS EYES
EEEEEEEEWWWWW
Brisa Ferreyra that was the one thing that creeped me out when I was little along with the voice

Yep, that's cartoons for you.
2:32 Funny. Doom's death, Von Rotten's death was done by his own dip an taste of his own medicine.

One of the funniest villains deaths for me was Makoto Shishio from Rurouni Kenshin. Which incidentally inspired a meme in Japan. X3
Indeed.
Killed by his own chemical weaponry.
Makes no. 6 or so on Watchmojo's top 10 villians destroyed by the power they sought
I barely remember this film. But when I was young, I thought cartoons were an actual thing you can meet irl when I watched this film and Space Jam LOL. Ah, good times.
liszst the actor who played eddie’s actual son who was little back then was upset that his father never got a cartoon character home for a visit
He too thought they were real actors
If only...
Richie Rich was the president. XD
Fun fact: Tim Curry auditioned for the role of Judge Doom, but the producers and director found his performance too scary. Either way, I would have LOVED to have seen the audition footage.
4 or 5 year old me would be pissing my pants if that happened
No thanks. I would pass out lol!
Doom is one heck of a villain I'll never forget.
And that Wizard of Oz reference was just perfect!
He’s one of my favorites

And don't forget Smart Ass the weasel too!
Funny... THIS scene was actually the FIRST scene I've EVER seen from this movie. I was, like, four, when I saw this scene on TV, and then saw a bunch of random famous cartoon characters come out. I was just confused at the time, wondering, "What the hex is going on?" I was more confused than scared, mostly because I saw this scene from a distance. That and I saw it play by much faster than this.
--
Later, I heard of this movie called "Roger Rabbit" where toons interacted with the real world. I saw parts of it on TH-cam and got intrigued.
Then I saw Doom again, and he REALLY gave me chills up my spine! So much so that I had to block the screen! But then, to think that THIS was the first thing I ever saw from this movie, it really tickled my funny bone.

I now own the movie and love it to death! Even the frightening Doom scene.
Oh my God, now that I think about it, I think the same thing happened to me!! This scene is the earliest I can recall from this movie when I was a kid.
I can literally relate to your whole comment.
"Good bye mydarling!
GOODBYE! AHHHHHH" Jessica,I love you girl.But you being an over dramatic diva is TOON much for me
Uh... They were within an inch of meeting their demise. How else would you have expected her to react?
Hahaha nice pun
I think I Gonna Faint -Jesicca Rabbit-
*judge doom jumps high with the slinky*
Dramatic? Have you seen the house of mouse?epsode somethin minnie is way more worst for me
One of the best cartoon movies! Also one of the best directed movies in general due to the actors needing to know exactly where, when, and how to react to every scene with a toon in it.
Love it to this day
2:59-3:17
Am I the only one enjoying the satisfaction that is Eddie Valiant witnessing the traumatizing enemy that killed his brother, and haunted him, melt away before his very eyes? Eddie is the avenger here.
2:33 since Christopher Lloyd also played Rasputin in Anastasia. Here's something.

When I was a kid, I thought Judge Doom was like an evil version of Inspector Gadget. XD
Farrah SugaryCandy
The funny coincidence about that is : In the live-action movie, Matthew Broderick was wearing huge obviously fake teeth (exactly like Judge Doom's) during his "RoboGadget" portrayal.
Which makes sense as both characters have artificial faces.
Awesome
Wow this is kinda nightmarish
Remember me Gomez? When I saw Cousin It I talked... JUST LIKE THIS!
God, I used to be terrified of the scene where his eyes popped out, and his voice became much more high pitched.

Eddie: 😮
Christopher Lloyd is one of the best actors ever.
Ever since I was a kid Doom’s face after he turns into a toon terrified me and still to this day it does. Christopher Lloyd was perfectly cast for that character and his voice just fits
Why does Jude doom need weapons to kill Eddie he has an amazingly high pitched voice that could make your ears bleed
Caleb Cabz That because is a cartoons logic!
My all-time favorite scene from any movie. I was about three years old when I first saw this...WAY too young, so you can imagine how that went. I love Christopher Lloyd when he talks about this character. He says that when he was a young kid, he'd go to showings of movies like Snow White, which had some frightening imagery with the witch and all, to which he said, "for me, that was nightmare fuel. So when I played Judge Doom, I thought: PAYBACK!"
I know he also mentioned Bambi as being another film that scared him when he was younger... Which becomes a little funny in hindsight when you consider the original idea for Doom was for him to be the guy who killed Bambi's mother.
On a related note, did anyone see Lloyd's Twitter Q&A for the movie while he was promoting the Prop Culture show on Disney+? He mentioned that his favorite scene that he did was the shoe dipping scene. He really seems like a cool guy in person but damn!
The one time ACME products actually worked right.
They’re technically defective if they work.

Imagine if Wylie Coyote was watching this, he'd be like, "Oh sure, when a human does it, he succeeds. But when I do it--KA-BOOM!!"
Literally my childhood right here. I remember watching this as a kid on cassete and even now I honestly can't believe how this movie came out in 1988, it was way WAY ahead of its time. Very glad that I still have the cassete for it as well to when I watched it with my brother during our childhood when we were kids. Like there was nothing that could compare against it, not even its style, effects, and not even technology like CGI existed at this time, like this wasn't even CGI at all, like literally no other movie was nothing like it. It was on its own, in its own world, category and etc. This was way before CGI was even a thing. Like its so amazing how much they accomplished back in the day when they first came out with this. They were literally one of the first to do it as well. Pure nostalgia, and memories from my childhood of watching this as a child. Such an underrated film that you honestly could keep going and going on about constantly like I am right now, talking about how amazing it is, what it meant to me as a child as well as now and much more. Even the actors were amazing, characters, the animation itself, the storyline, the soundtrack and so many references to other films as well as characters like at least to me this was an amazing film, and if anyone does complain I don't see why they would since its undeserved as well as shouldn't be criticized. This is honestly such a classical film. Like even now I haven't forgotten about it when I watched it during my childhood when I was just a kid on the VHS, on cassete. Kids nowadays don't even know how it was back in the day, and how amazing movies like these were. Like what a time this was. They just don't make movies like these anymore either. Truly one of a kind as well as legendary. Such good times, and what an amazing time it was like I said. Like I could just keep going and going on about how much this film just means to me as well as my brother when we watched it during our childhood as kids and what it still means to us. Truly a spectacle of unlimited words to say, describe, explain and talk about. Not trying to spoil it either.
The only Time Warner Brothers characters and Disney characters shared a scene
This is for Teddy! This is for R.K Maroon! This is for Marvin Acme, this is for trying to destroy Toontown, and our favorite Toons in it to build that bird-brained freeway. and this, This is for the Shoe... you psychopathic toon DASVIDANYA!!!!!
Anastasia reference
Glad you remembered that shoe, who especially didn't deserve it. That's like when Simpson killed his ex-wife and Ron Goldman got in the way. Ron is like the shoe.
1:04 Still one of the creepiest f***ing scenes
Not really. Then again, not a lot of things scared me as a kid. The only thing that remotely scared me or gave me nightmares as a kid, was the Jackal from Thirteen Ghosts. That guy still scares the hell out of me.
0:00 - 0:21 always had me laughing. I'm sorry, but that death scream lol
Agreed. One time I was watching this in 0.5 speed and when a friend of mine heard it he said," What in the hell is that? Some kind of fire truck?"
@@phelps12471 I thought it was a flute lol
1:10 Whoa. Somebody call a plastic surgeon.
I understood that reference.
Watched this as a kid. I have it on VHS since 1989.
Still watching :)
Judge doom was Doc Emmet Brown in Back to the Future
Marshall the firepup and mr clipboard from food fight
Best movie ever
I was about the say wtf there do I know him from and now I have the answer...
+Marshall the firepup I think this was the first film that Christopher Lloyd was on where he was a bad guy. The other movie he was a bad guy on was the movie "Dennis The Menace."
@@afriendofbean No, that would be "Stark Trek III" (1984) where he was the Klingon villain, Commander Kruge.
And although Lloyd was more of a minion than a villain, he was among the evil "Lectroids" from "Buckaroo Banzai" which was also years before Roger Rabbit.
He was also villains in many other bit parts or obscure movies and TV shows, before this movie was made.
It's just that *this role* is his first villain role that actually scared people.
His best villain role IMO.
+Brady Hartsfield Yes, I remember Star Trek III. I guess Christopher Lloyd played more of a good guy in most movies than a bad guy. Also yes, I found it a little scary seeing Christopher Lloyd as a villain here wearing a dark trench coat and hat and the way how he was able to magically get Roger Rabbit to come to him in the bar scene. Also I used to think when I was young, what I should do if Judge Doom got a hold of me and dunked me in his "Dip" when I didn't know it was only a cartoon killing liquid. (Of course, after Doom died here, I was hoping that cartoon sneaker he dunked in the "Dip" came back since that sometimes happens in movies when a bad guy dies, the ones who he kills come back to life).
3:56 I like trains.

This scene traumatized me as a child. That's the only reason I remember this movie😨😨😨
Judge Doom scared me so bad a child and i still get chills and Fear down my spine Everytime i watch this part of the movie
I first saw this when I was 5. Judge Doom gave me nightmares. And now I watch this scene over 10 years later, and appreciate how Drugsy this movie looked.
Scarier then Pennywise
From my research, I would define Judge Doom as a "horror villain with cartoon elements incorporated". Thank you very much
In the script, Judge Doom would be identified as the killer of Bambi's mother.
If Doom was in the Cuphead game, he will be a tough boss to defeat
This is inspiration of cuphead
Nicolás Quintana Vilches you know, I don’t remember why I put this comment down
Omg...imagine a secret round of him being the next boss!
Doom's plan of destroying Toontown and building a freeway has backfired on him.
1:17 staring daggers
"WAAAAAA LIGGLY IM MELTING! MELTING!!!!"
Oh they decided to add a little Wizard Of Oz reference.nice.
Considering he is a toon who would normally reference something and be over the top about it, it makes sense.
Was the reference intentional?
0:10 The look on Jessica and Rodger's faces. Also I just noticed that while everyone looks away from Doc-I mean Judge being crushed, Rodger is still watching!
Roger had a hunch on Doom. He was right.
@@richardhernandez4490 Maybe given that he does it quite a bit himself, the OTT screaming tipped him off. Roger may be a little dense at times but there are a few instances where he shows he's a bit smarter than he appears. I mean earlier on in the climax, he did figure out ahead of Jessica what Eddie was doing when making the weasels laugh.
0:37 OMG!!! He’s a cartoon! 😨😨🤭
“Surprised?”
@@a.jcheshiremen7822 Not at all. That lame-brain freeway idea could only be cooked up by a cartoon. Like when they end up flattened by a steamroller without blood and gore, they deflated themselves to survive.
@@nataliehughes1020 NOT JUST ANY TOOOOON!!!

Eddie didn’t just bring Doom to justice and clear Roger’s name, he also avenged his brother.
OMFG this scene scared the F*** out of as a kid. The part with the roller crushing him was terrifying and the voice was worse. I would rather face off against any horror movie villan then that abomination.
-I totally did not have nightmares after this-
-TOTALLY-
-this scene is like Slender but better-
One of the best movies ever made.
This still makes me laugh to this day 😂 Did anyone else find this hilarious as a kid? 🤣
No I was terrified of Doom Judge back then as a kid but anymore though since I find him really very hilarious now as an adult 😂😭
Judge Doom's reveal as the villain was not at all surprising (I mean, come on, after he killed that shoe, we knew he was bad), but I would argue with anyone that the reveal of Doom AS A TOON is one of cinema's greatest plot twists, right up there along with the likes of Sixth Sense and Empire Strikes Back.
Viewing in hindsight, there were very subtle hints, but I think you'd be hardpressed to find any viewer who saw that coming. One of the reasons being is that it goes against the typical formula. Toons were created to bring joy and laughter to others, they are pure and innocent, the evil comes from MAN. In man vs nature movies, "man" is often the villain. But when Doom is revealed to be a toon, that mentality is flipped on its face, especially with him being driven by, essentially, corporate greed, a very human trait. Yes, Eddie overcame his prejudice of toons, but there ARE bad toons.
If you applied this to another area, it'd be like if there was a movie made about racism, which it would probably be a white male, who is racist against blacks or Jews, learns the error of his ways, but then to have the villain ending up being black or Jewish. Clever subversion of expectations and a lesson that evil transcends race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or in the case of WFRR, human and toon.
0:37 This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I say rather this part "Holy shit! He's an cartoon!" 0:42 "Not really, that lamebrain freeway idea can only be cooked up by a cartoon."
Surprised?
@@johnbuck8399 Not really
@@tolbertjason not just any toon!
When he got ran over and pumped him self up again I screamed so hard I popped my ear buds
As I got older this scene became my favorite. I always loved imitating voices and Chistpher Lloyd's high pitched "Judge Doom" is my favorite. When he melts from the dip it's funny as heck because as many know it comes from the Wizard of Oz.
I don’t recall Christopher Lloyd doing the creepy toon voice when Doom is revealed as a toon. It was done by a voice double.
Looking back now at 30, this is fuckin terrifying.
Even as a kid I couldn't grasp how this made it as a kids' movie, that mother f**ker was terrifying, and my siblings and I were traumatized for literal years!
I watched this when I was about 4 and it still haunts me. Fantastic film
