Bob Hoskins worked so hard and long having to imagine where Roger was all the time that after a while he apparantly began to see and hear Roger following him around.
It's amazing to see some of the behind-the-scenes stuff and realize how amazingly difficult it was to make a film like WFRR. When I watch it, I'm having too good a time just laughing at it to really think about HOW some of the things in it were achieved, and now that I get some sense from watching this of how intense the work was- well, what can I say. Kudos to the special effects people and their well-deserved Academy Award!
I just think it's a shame that they used too many crude tom & jerry type of gags. Animation quality was epic though, especially with all the things they had to overcome.
The animators use printed-out pics of the live-action footage to properly draw the characters in place. Then the animation cells are added to the live-action footage.
WOW! No wonder it took a year and half to animate! That's a LOT of live action to print out and match because the camera's constantly moving. Now it would just be done in like six months with computers! Amazing how there was once a time not so long ago when people existed without computers, cell phones and digital equipment. And I was alive and have memories of it! LOL! Thanks! <3
They actually had the option to use some early computer elements on this. But the filmmakers refused. They said that if they were trying to create this homage to these old cartoons and started using computers, it'd ruin the whole idea
LOL! I've been wondering that question for 21 years ever since I saw it in the theater at 9 years old! They kinda glossed over it in this and at the end this documentary just now I was like... Wow! Fantastic...! But still... how'd they get the animation to match the film?! LOL!

How do they add the animation to the movie? Do they use some kind of camera?

What a great documentary. I'm surprised they didn't put it in the movie's 2-disc DVD.
Random Trivia: Mae Questel (Betty Boop) played Aunt Bethany in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"
Also: the director of this documentary, Les Mayfield, directed the 1999 action comedy Blue Streak starring Martin Lawrence.
