The Making of Who Framed Roger Rabbit-Part 1/5

[Barrymit]

Possibly Bob Hoskins' best performance. Acting to nothing is very complex, but he really makes you think he's talking to these animated characters.

[ebernv]

¿porque no metieron este documental en los extras del DVD?, por lo menos esperemos que lo metan en una edición en Blu-Ray.

[CheesecakeD]

wonder someday you can upload this again with a higher quality,

I remember watching this as the kid,

 not just the movie but this "making of" video

[DonDuracell]

Two bad the quality of the VHS did not last as long as my admiration for that film.

[MyNameZebra]

@DonDuracell What do you mean by the quality of the VHS? Do you mean the unmastered look or the ink lines matching the paint? They both look good even today.

[TheRoomy]

"Over at Warner Brothers the animators took a slightly different approach to their characters".

Yeah, that difference was actually being funny. And when Speilberg said this was for Walt, why didn't he mention Chuck Jones or Tex Avery? They had way more influence over the characters of this film than Walt did. And they actually made cartoons that were funny. Steam boat willy was never funny, its like watching people stand around existing for 10 minutes. They don't actually DO anything in em.

[KBAFourthtime]

Is that hostess supposed to be Joanna Cassidy, the one who played Valiant's gal, Dolores?

[thEannoyingE]

Thanx for this, I haven't seen this doc on WFRR before too bad this one isn't on the new dvd. Does anyone know if touchstone studios still owns all the costumes? I really to know what happened to Judge Doom's costume, especially the sword cane and those awesome spectacles. :) All i know is that the steamroller is at the backlot with alot of the other ACME Factory props such as the ACME Stay-Put Adhesive, but i really want to know what happened to Dooms costume and cane. Can anyone fill me in?

[rextony22]

@thEannoyingE

is acme real?

[FranBMan]

I absolutely love Bob Hoskins. Great man, great actor.

[inrwizards]

looney tunes back in action was okay but this is great

[mermaidamp]

This movie rules!

[Bthackrey]

i think now is the time to do another Roger rabbit movie .....in 3d

DO IT

[TheRingmasteR23]

one of my all time favourite movies.

[francisjairam]

I still don't understand how can they put the cartoon characters into the real life verison.

[nessnes64]

@francisjairam real life video put over animation cels and filmed

[torrity]

My 3yr old is watching this right now.

[mermaidamp]

@torrity Really?

[torrity]

@mermaidamp Yea he was. He's watching felix the cat, original transformers cartoon, thundercats, and original he-man cartoon's now.

[demm9000]

Thanks for sharing this! I think I´ve seen it when I was a kid, AND LOVED to know how they do that magic. Thanks, dude!

[toonpatrol59]

I have never seen this documentary before. Thanks for putting it on you tube. I had forgotten how much I loved this movie.

[RousettusAegyptiacus]

Thank you so much for making this available. It is so much better than the documentary that comes with the DVD!

This is what I remember watching 20 years ago, and I've been looking for it for so long.

Thank you!

[ArchetypeXE]

my all time favorite movie since I was in diapers(this is not a lie!) Maybe that's why I'm so screwy! Thank you!

[megadork456]

Porky technically came before Gugs, but really they appeared in the same episode, where Porky is hunting Bugs.

[CheesecakeD]

Dang i don't think this "making of" isn't on the dvd version huh?

would be awsome

[Mavericker7]

I haven't seen this in years. Kudoz to the person who uploaded this.

[angelofmusic1992]

I knew that Bob Hoskins had an Australian accent, but I've never heard it before. Interesting...

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

Bloody hell that thames tv introduction brings back memories.

[brutusmuerto]

Still have this on tape.. after all these years! And it works fine. =)

Long live VHS! Heil!

[Barclay1987]

Nice!

[ebernv]

Tenía que haber salido en los extras del DVD.

[mermaidamp]

LOL!

[Dalen77]

Was this made in England or was it made in america and broadcast in England

[leostiles]

RICHARD WILLIAMS IS KING

[xanafanadu]

"technical wizardry of today" LMAO i want these people from the 80s and see avatar. then we'll see who's talking!

[Mysterious0Bob]

They'll probably feel sorry that special effects take priority over plot, because Avatar fucking sucked.

[wilby126]

@Mysterious0Bob if you went in to Avatar expecting to see an amazing plot and storyline, then i guess you set yourself up for disappointment from the beginning. I'm pretty sure they'd be amazed with how much just 20 years did for special effects technology advancement.

[brivanas]

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was a MUCH better movie than Avatar...and the special effects were more clever.

[princessxmommy]

retard

[SrWilson3s]

I remember seeing this in 1989 =D

[spongefan1222]

Roger Rabbit is Adorable :D

[SIMPFANN]

Joanna Cassidy is hot! OK, maybe she pales in comparison to Jessica, but still.

[Snegenad1]

Lol great. By the way she isnt completely right in the start; Porky was the first Looney Tune, Daffy 2nd and Bugs 3rd. XD

[Cresantstar]

thanks for uploading this yay betty boop appears <3

[Adler36]

Thank you so much for uploading this!!!!!!!!!!

[birdflue93]

i love movies with toon cartoon character in the real world, like looney tunes back in action! i hope they do another new movie!

[AniCator]

Although I thought Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a better movie.

[squid0862]

@birdflue93 They're making a Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2!

[orgixvi3]

@birdflue93 2012- Roger Rabbit 2

[hugh0221]

@birdflue93 They're planning Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2, and there'll Timon and Pumbaa, too!

[AnimatedFan195]

I love Roger Rabbit

[weikko79]

Thanks for this! I've been waiting to see this documentary again for years, in fact ever since I first saw it in 1988!!

[twist58]

To those who don't know, that one scene in the movie where Eddie Vailiant drives into the tunnel to head to Toon Town, that tunnel was also used in Back to the Future Part II (the scene where Marty McFly rides his hoverboard through the tunnel while Biff Tannen chases after him). Look carefully!

[TheRocketVoltage]

I KNEW they were related! I went to that tunnel a few days ago! And I remember awhile back when I was watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the tunnel scene, I just started listening to the background music and I could have SWORN it was the same music from Back to the Future!

[85Silvana85]

This is SO OLD !!

But great !!

Thanx for posting !

XD

[mrkingofkings]

Notable fact: This film mark the second time that Christopher Lloyd (who played Judge Doom) and Robert Zemeckis collaborated together. The first time they did was Back to the Future and will later do in BTTF part II and BTTF part III, but before BTTF, they also did "Go to the Head of the Class" which is from the TV series "Amazing Stories" before Roger Rabbit was made.

[mrkingofkings]

Sorry, I take that back, Go to the Head of the Class (from Amazing Stories) was after BTTF and it was made before Roger Rabbit.

[UmmSureOk]

Thank you so much for uploading this. My mom threw out my copy, and when I checked last fall, no one had yet to upload it.

[tscastro114]

Someone did awhile back on Youtube, but that user got suspended.

[raceintothesunset]

thanks for uploading this! I was wondering if there was a documentary for this :)

[VALENTINEproductions]

mel blanc should have played roger.

[VALENTINEproductions]

Im mad Popeye never got to be in this.

[tscastro114]

The filmmakers also tried Popeye (along with Bluto and Olive Oyl) to appear in the film, but Paramount Pictures refused to give the rights. Though both Paramount and Disney did made the live action film in 1980. Little did the copyright holders know that Roger Rabbit would go on to be a smash hit.

[baltusd]

before the internet they had to do

this docs to get the wor out there. amazing

[tscastro114]

I wish this appeared on the Roger Rabbit DVD. Also Tom and Jerry were suppose to be in the film, but the filmmakers couldn't get permission from MGM.

[twist58]

Ironically, MGM co-owned Disney to form Disney-MGM Studios (now called Hollywood Studios) in Florida in the late 1980s.

[CronosGuy]

is that a rabbit in your pocket or are you just happy to see me! lol

[ExcoriatedZero]

Thanks for posting this!

[AppleLovr]

i thought Felix the cat came first on cartoon tv

[mermaidamp]

Roger Rabbit looks cross-eyed.

[megatranceformer]

why so bad quality? maybe it is from tv to camera?

[andresnicolas82]

OMG!!! i remember watching this when it was aired! 20 years ago!! and the next day i went to see the movie hehe

thanks for uploaded this!!

[pbscraze]

My Mom said she saw that movie when she met my Daddy!

[Turnmills2000]

go ahead mate :)

[SteelEye009]

This is fantastic! Quite a rare find. My channels on YouTube & DailyMotion post stuff like this (the rare stuff is usually on DailyMotion). With your permission, I was wondering if I could post this on one of my channels?

[jcoch1r]

dynamite down your pants.

[BunnyfriendMX]

I haven't seen this documentary since I was 8 years old, when "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was premiered in big screens. Thank you very much for bringing back a lot of memories: I really love Roger Rabbit and watching back all those scenes and how they were made is great =3

[Turnmills2000]

it dose the same for me :)

[gus4all]

I just watched 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' today and coincidentally you just uploaded this making of. Thanks so much! It was awesome.

[Turnmills2000]
