Subject: Who Framed Roger Rabbit was so revolutionary

Written By: Starro23 on 04/30/22 at 9:58 am

First because of the first live action/cartoon film but also because Disney & Warner Bros both worked on it.  This scene will
never happen again in animation lol EVER

It wasn’t the first live action/cartoon film. Disney released some in the 1940s

Also Disney and Warner didn’t both work on it. Other companies allowed their iconic cartoon characters to be used because Steven Spielberg persuaded them to.

Actually Disney already had some in the 20ies (Alice Comedies) but those live action / cartoon crossovers go all the way back to 1900 (The enchanted drawing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Enchanted_Drawing

I even remember a few old Bugs Bunny and other Loony Tunes cartoons from way back that had some live action in them.

On reading the OP, my first thoughts were "Song of the South" (1946) and "Mary Poppins" (1964).

From wiki:
"Song of the South is not available on Disney's streaming service, Disney+, which launched in the United States in 2019. Disney executive chairman and former CEO Bob Iger affirmed during a shareholders meeting that the film would not be getting a release on the service, even with an "outdated cultural depictions" disclaimer, stating that the film is "not appropriate in today's world"" and this film is on my must-see list!

Btw, "Mary Poppins" animated sequence involves penguins.

I can no longer watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit.  That scene where Judge Doom drops that frightened shoe into "The Dip" still makes me cry :\'(

I found that scene unnecessarily hard to watch too. Sometimes less is more. ::)

I remember the first time I saw Roger Rabbit. I did something that I had never done before (or since)-I went to the theatre ALONE. I really wanted to see this movie and there was no one to go with me. Since I didn't drive at night, I went to the matinee. The place was FULL-a lot of kids. This one little girl was bringing in her own Roger Rabbit doll which was so cute. The part when Eddie turned to Jessica and said, "Nice booby trap" I think I must have laughed the loudest. Not too sure if the kids got that joke-actually half the jokes.

As a 12 yr old, I went to the cinema to see this. I found it too whacky and crazy. Wasn't a fan at all.
(Willow was my film of choice in 1988)

What was crazy and wacky about it? Was it the characters? ???

Roger Rabbit was the origin of the phrase "Bumping the Lamp", an industry term referring to the act of painstakingly adding tiny VFX details that are too subtle for the audience to consciously notice but still add to the realism of the scene.

It comes from the decision to add moving shadows to Roger's body in this scene:
