The Dip - Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Did anyone figure out who the judge Doom actually was? The movie shows you....but you gotta really pay attention.

I remember crying as a kid when I saw it and my mom panicked and said "don't worry they'll draw a new one"

Fun fact: Turpentine, acetone and benzene are all paint thinners and, in real life, are mixed together to create the solution hand animators use to remove ink from animation cells.

It says a lot for Christopher Lloyd’s range as an actor that he can go from the lovable doofy genius of Doc Brown to the genocidal maniac monster of Judge Doom. One of the greats.

I've never felt so bad for a shoe before :(

[balanc-joy]

What really hurts to me, watching this scene once again, is that if you notice, the shoe _still_ isn't scared when Doom goes to pick it up, and carry it. The most it looks is a bit confused, and maybe a little apologetic for a bit, then goes back to being happy, but not afraid or really trying to get away. It only gets scared once its _over the Dip_ which by then it was too late. That poor little shoe didn't realize how much danger it was in, until it really was far too late...and then we see that it knew then _exactly_ how bad it was...

Eddie hates toons but even he can't get any satisfaction from seeing one being gruesomely murderd like that in front of him.

[colinz]

a fact: “the dip” is considered the darkest scene of any Disney film ever

[sethmoss]

"A human has been murdered by a toon."

You seem to know from experience, hey doom?

[jnzupka]

Turpentine
Acetone
Benzine
All active ingredients in various paint thinners
That’s clever

Forget Bambi's mom. For all the bellyaching about her, it happened off-screen. *THIS* is what traumatized me. The way it cuddles up to him, as if for protection and comfort, so there's immediately a hideous betrayal aspect, made even worse later on when we learn that Doom is killing his own kind. It's squeaks, reminiscent of a guinea pig, i.e. something sweet and innocent. It's instinctive rictus of fear just before it's...ugh...dipped. Its eyes, full of confusion, sadness, and fear, as its lowered into death. Absolute tragedy. This stabs me in the freaking heart every time.

The shoe scene traumatized me as a kid. It still kinda does.

[TheNeonTheater]

Wow it just occurred to me that the shoe was probably being friendly to Doom because it realized that he was a cartoon also

[toxicdragon]

Poor little shoe. It didn't deserve that. At least one good thing came from this. Judged doom got a taste of his own medicine at the end of the movie.

[nocturnalcove]

There are so many good references in this scene that hints to Doom's real identity. Outside of the cape, never blinking and wearing a glove for the dip, Doom tries his best to not react to the buzzer as Toons are animated to have a bigger reactions, his teeth are ones you'd find in theatre and his stiff yet over the top physicality- after dipping the shoe he holds his arm out rather dramatically and crunches the glove- make it look like a man in a suit. Like he's trying almost too hard to be human that there's something not completely right. Plus he's wearing all black in the LA summer season, who does that?

[masterplag]

This scene really disturbed me as a child, and honestly it still does to this day. The way the shoe looks around as it’s being liquified is just heartbreaking as well as the sounds it makes, but that’s not even the worst part. The worst part is Judge Doom could’ve just made it instantaneous, but instead he deliberately made sure the shoe felt the pain for a few moments. His death at the end has to be one of the most satisfying villain deaths in movies.

[ConnorMiller]

I’m a 24 year old and I got to say, this scene still gives me chills. As a kid I cried when I first saw the show burn and melt and it still haunts me as an adult. This truly is the darkest scene in all of Disney movies.

[mirandabaggins]

That shoe was WAY TOO ADORABLE for this world!! 🥺 Squeak with the angels, little guy!! I hope he earned a cute little cartoon halo and Hermes-like wings!

[redfox]

The way it looks like it’s in pure pain and agony while also sounding like it’s trying to scream…..it’s just heartbreaking

[MisterMilo]

The death of that shoe traumatised me as a kid.

[БлейзМэг]

Actually the most brutal murder openly shown to kids. An innocent toon we only get to look at for less than a minute, acting sweetly as a goddamn pet, being boiled alive with no mercy. No horror movie or surgeon documentary in childhood could shock as this dang scene
