Everyone thinks Who Framed Roger Rabbit was groundbreaking as it contained animation in a live action movie. This film came out in the 40s and it contained both live action in an animated world AND animation in a live action world. How has everyone forgot about this completely groundbreaking film?

@rosserm11 It is a shame that this wonderful film with two of the most talented black performers of the time has been so over looked because it has been labeled as racist. This is just ignorance and is an insult to James Baskett and Hattie McDaniel. Thank you for your comment.

James Baskett recieved an honorary Oscar for his portrayal of Uncle Remus. Disney should be ashamed of themselves for disrespecting his memory.

@JoelandtheBots How have they disrespected his memory?

[JoelandtheBots]

@LoreneFaith By refusing to show this film, they're not allowing others to see WHY he deserved so much recognition, especially in a time that would have been hard pressed to show it to an actor of color. They're basically sweeping him under the rug with this film.

[LoreneFaith]

@JoelandtheBots I totally agree with you on that Joe. I don't understand how this wonderful movie could ever be banned and yes it is disrespectful of James and Hattie too! Fortunately there are those who have made this film available to those who really want it in spite of the ban.

Ironically, this film taught me how black people are just as nice and kind as anyone else, unlike what Disney thinks today

I had a racist uncle who I took after at a young age, which I am ashamed of but I was very young. But after seeing this film and learning of uncle remus and how he helped johnny after his dad had to leave (My was in the navy so I understood the feeling) I then stopped being so stupid and started to accept people, and I am now so happy it turned out that way

Thanks for uploading, this is one of my all time favourite Disney movies when I was growing up! Many people say its racist, but just watching those kids running along singing together without a care in the world shows totally otherwise! Even though its a very old film, I think it highlights how beautifully innocent children are & how skin colour doesn't have any affect on how they see each other.

I don't care what type of race I am or what type of ethnic background I have. All I care about is being human and being treated as a human in a PROPER manner. It is so ANNOYING that a lot of people claim that Uncle Remus as racist. This film takes place in a post Civil War world for crying out loud. Uncle Remus was a NICE and loveable man who enjoyed telling stories to his friends and family members (although we don't see them) and like many Disney fans, I enjoy this film A LOT.

the ending song never fails to jerk my heart

@LoreneFaith Thanks for acknowledging that you were not looking at it from a black person's perspective. That makes a big difference. I do agree that there was great talent here despite the circumstances.

[jamajo78]

This is so racist. Who ever made the comment about learning about black people from this film... please never say that out loud especially if you are in the company of black people. It's a shame that Hattie and James had to waste their talent pretending to me domicile imbeciles to make white people feel comfortable with them. That is why this film is racist.

[lasvegasdaril]

It is currently available on dvd for $13.00 The original unedited Version and yes it does play on usa american dvd players. go to ioffer.com

[TwilightLink77]

They won't released the film on dvd or blue ray yet they made a ride based off the film weird.

[HenryConway007]

@rosserm11 If you need proof, just look at the scene where Roger and Eddie are handcuffed together. You believe that they are handcuffed. Had they tried to do that in this film, it would’ve been laughable.

[HenryConway007]

@rosserm11 “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was groundbreaking because it was the first time anybody ever believed that they existed together. Watching this, I expect the damned bluebird to just fall right through his shoulder.

[xisomorphicx]

Man, I want to see this movie so badly. One of these days, I'm going to splurge and buy it from ebay.

[LemonCurdAddict1234]

@rosserm11 Yeah, imagine.... Roger Rabbit VS Brer Rabbit - who would win?
