One thing that many people watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit may not realize: The Pacific Electric - referred to as the Red Car in the movie (which was the actual nickname for the line) - was at one time a very extensive streetcar system that served most of Los Angeles County. Beginning in the 1940s, National City Lines - a company backed by General Motors, Standard Oil, and Firestone Tire and Rubber, began a campaign to convince streetcar companies like the Pacific Electric, most of whom were losing money, to convert their operations from streetcars to buses. In many cases, National City Lines would buy out these companies directly and reorganize them.. All this took place at the same time that Los Angeles was beginning to plan and construct its freeway system. The first of these freeways, the Arroyo Seco Parkway - now known as the Pasadena Freeway, was constructed in the time period of the movie.

There is also several hidden clues as to Judge Doom's true identity. The way he reacts around DIP (especially when it is spilled in the bar), Eddie's dialogue of "how did that character become a Judge?", Santino explaining that Judge Doom bought the election with a large sum of money combined with Eddie's history of how his brother died and the crook getting away with a large sum of money...

Is there a reason you didn’t mention Fleischer Studios or Betty Boop? Max and Dave Fleischer were groundbreaking animators who invented many techniques adopted by Disney and others.

My wife and I are both HUGE fans of Roger. And we've also introduced our children to the film. And they both love it!!

Bouncer was the first time I ever heard a cartoon character curse as a child.
Eddie: "nice monkey suit"
Bouncer "wiseass"
this is also the movie that made me never look at "playing Patti cakes" the same again.

[MrUnidyne]

Charles Fleisher is fluent in French, and provided Roger Rabbit's voice when it was dubbed in that language.

Here's another fact: The "Dip" that Judge Doom created to destroy toons is made of turpentine, acetone, and benzene, which they're all paint thinners used to remove ink from animation cels.

Honestly, some cameos I have a bigger respect for as an adult are cameos that are right in the foreground, but have a little significant reason for us seeing them.
After meeting Dumbo, Maroon tells Eddie that he got him from Disney, along with half the cast from Fantasia. And, sure enough, a decent amount of the characters Eddie runs into when outside are from Fantasia, including one of the ostriches and Hyacinth Hippo from Dance of the Hours, the Brooms from The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and there was going to be a scene of a director eating donuts on one of the centaurs for The Pastoral Symphony, all at Maroons studios. A neat little detail not a lot of people notice.

My cousin was the kid offering the smoke on the back of the street car.😂

One of the greatest movies of all time. I can even imitate when Roger says P-P-P-P-P-P-P-PLEASE

[WyattGloverTV]

I agree that Roger Rabbit is very great animated character in the "Warner Bros. Animation-Verse".

[MarcoKlammer]

The actor who played Lt. Santino was called Richard LeParmentier.
He was also in "Octopussy".
He died in 2013, aged 66.
I met him once at a convention in 2003

I saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit in theatre when it first opened. It's always been a favorite of mine since then. Watching all the characters of my youth come to life on the big screen was magic. While the dueling pianos with Daffy and Donald was hilariously funny. I remember being absolutely blown away when both Mickey and Bugs appeared together on screen in the "free fall" scene.

[chrisclarke]

Richard LeParmentier also appeared in Star Wars; I was surprised to see him on stage at a small theatre in Shepherd'
s Bush when I was at Film School in 77-78; flash forward to Feb 1988, I was back in London, where my first job was working as an assistant animator on Roger Rabbit!

Disney needs a Roger Rabit 2 where Roger is Discovered in a warehouse after being packed away for the past 30 years. He can have encounters with today's cartoon characters!

[RegularInvader]

I thought he was gonna mention that Toon Disney's series "Bonkers" was an official spin off of Roger Rabbit because there was a disagreement about Roger having his own show.

[scotttrail]

There's the one and only. . . Bambi, who's portrayal of realistic art opened the doors for realism in animated movies, to this day.

I was always disappointed that they never did more with Roger rabbit as a character after the movie because I thought for sure he would have become one of the more Mainstays of Disney characters after the successfulness of the movie but pretty much the movie in a couple of shorts was all he got.
Did you also know that who framed Roger rabbit was based off of a book called who censored Roger rabbit.

Now I need to watch this again. It'll be an absolute blast from the past😊
