i watched it as a kid, i dont think i understood most of the adult humor in it. but as a kid i still liked jessica rabbit a lot. i didnt know why though. now i do
It's a Disney movie, although at the last minute Disney decided to release it under their Touchstone label that they used for films directed at adults. I guess the final cut convinced them it was too sexy and/or scary for the "Walt Disney" logo

The novel, Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, is completely different too, Roger is the murder victim who investigated, not the accused murderer, and he's not particularly sympathetic.
Zemeckis openly says threading the needle between Disney and Warner Bros could only have been accomplished by Spielberg, without him producing he wouldn't have gotten it made as it was. Even then it was eggshells everywhere. Like how protective Disney and Warner were of Mickey and Bugs specifically, as their mascot characters, they could only appear in the same scene, and had to have exactly the same number of frames of screentime. Not seconds, frames.

Lmfao go back to /n/ trolleys were already on the way out because buses and personal cars can do everything they can AND don't require rails or power lines.
I had a double VHS tape with an extra thick case I've never seen for anything else, one tape was Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the other tape was the three Roger Rabbit shorts they made as a followup to the movie, they were very funny.
Was this movie intended to be watched by kids when it came out?

why?
Because I am trans and subconsciously wished to be her. I even based my anime twitter avatar on her
what's a twitter?
her shins are very attractive
CAUSE SHE'S GOT A.. GREAT ASS!!
AND I'VE GOT MY HEAD... ALL THE WAY UP IT!
(when I think of an ass-- a woman's ass.... something comes out of me)
Me too and I got traumatized by the guy melting at the end.
It was made for general audiences, the plot and tone is for adults, but the funny cartoons kids can enjoy

also probably because of the end scenes with chris lloyd. hes fricking terrifying in the last part

Is this one of the earliest examples of a brand crossover in film?
kids were cool back then
Oh course. Tex Avery cartoons were more risque.
Yes
Frick yeah we were.
When I was a lad and watched this the adult themes passed me by.
I thought the cartoons were great and I was amazed to see humans and 'Toons' interact.
The final baddie scared me but in a great way and the film left me wanting more.
It was great. Rewarding to rewatch it years later too.
Oh and seeing Bugs and Micky Mouse on screen together was a blast.
I think Toon Town SUCKS!
Underrated
adequately rated
best thread on tv right now
WFRR is one of the few movies that genuinely make me say animation indeed is cinema.
i get depressed whenever i look up again what was zemeckis' latest movie, frick disney
its crazy how bigly disney fricked itself
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a perfect film.

You just don't get films like that these days.

kek
>I think you better let 'im have it, Bugs.
Such a subtly funny line

>he doesn't know about the GM streetcar conspiracy
I think you have some reading to do
If you’re too lazy to educate yourself, at least watch No Sudden Move
Holy smokes, he's a troon!
HOLY SMOKES
HE'S A TROON
It's weird that in only four years we'll be as far from this movie as it was from the time period it was set in.
Nice monkey suit.
Wiseass.
What do I look like, a bank?
I think this movie is a timeless classic, its a period piece in of itself.
Noir thriller.
I could watch this movie any time and enjoy it.
When is Cassie going to watch this classic?
Paypigs, make it happen.
My brother was killed by a fricking toon and you post this??
i love how he anticipates he's going to get literal rocks lol
little touches that make this movie special
And then he does anyway, despite trying to head them off.
Toons.

i genuinely thought you could die from laughing after watching this
Here's to the pencil pushers. May they all get lead poisoning.
Roger I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about the REFRIGERATOR.
Great movie
