(Archive) Animated movie of the day: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

Originally posted: January 10th, 2022 Few animators have contributed so much to the craft as Richard Williams. Writer of The Animator's Survival Kit(an absolute, utter MUST read for any aspiring animator), his dominance of perspective is the stuff of legends. Things you see nowadays animated through the assistance of 3D imagery such as camera shifts in moving environments he could animate by hand. And this exceptional capability was put to the test in one of the most complex animated features ever.

While technically a live action film, this movie has as much if not more animated footage given cartoons are integral to the very plot. Rather loosely based on the much darker "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?" novel, this movie is as much of a classic cartoons fan's biggest fantasy as it was a production nightmare, involving characters from classic Fleischer studios, Tex Avery(aka MGM), Warner Brothers and Disney. And it incorporates them in the real world interacting with humans. With a moving camera and scene appropriate lighting. Even with today's technology that is one daunting task, let alone with traditional compositing techniques(Jessica Rabbit's dress was one particular headache).

But of course, impeccable animation and fanservice to animation enthusiasts can only do so much for a film. Fortunately, this movie does have a backbone to it's zany antics. Playing half a buddy cop film, half a noir film, it presents a compelling enough crime mystery that also involves a surprisingly human protagonist in Eddie(and not just because he's an actual person). Bob Hoskins manages to thread the balance between the comedy and the genuinely tragic backstory of his character, making the seemingly absurd premise work. Same goes for Cristopher Lloyd. He's a lovable goofball as Emmet Brown, but here he's genuinely terrifying.

While a resounding success, given that stars had to align to even make this film possible at all, we'll never see something like it again.

Hey I’m R! A few things about me: I’m a minor, Jewish, and I use she/her pronouns. I love Taylor Swift, mystery and fantasy books (and movies), writing, and baking, so that’s what most of this blog will be dedicated to. Also: I’m a Scorpio (November child), hufflepuff, youngest child and American.

For the specifics of some of my likes:

Taylor Swift

my favorite album is a tie between folklore and evermore and second is reputation

I don’t really have a favorite song because theyre all really good but some of my tops are gold rush, tis the damn season, champagne problems, yoyok, this is me trying, dear reader, happiness, sparks fly, Cornelia street, ibytam, tolerate it, long live, mirrorball, dwoht, haunted, dbatc, waolom?, i hate it here, the albatross, the prophecy, clara bow, holy ground, and the black dog

I really want a cardigan (either the original, green, or speak now-if there’s a rep one I’m definitely getting it) but I don’t have one

I haven’t been to the eras tour but I did see the movie and it was AMAZING

I also like Olivia Rodrigo, Maisie Peters, Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, and Noah Kahan

Books/Movies

My favorite books currently are little women, the 13 clocks, poison for breakfast, Rebecca, the Princess bride, the invisible life of Addie Larue, David Copperfield and and then there were none

my favorite movies are rear window, the Princess bride, legally blonde, wait until dark, the prestige, and folklore lpss

i also love Brooklyn 99 and Gilmore girls

i like golden age mysteries best out of that genre

i don’t really care what’s in the fantasy novels but I hate when they don’t world build enough

i like romance but nothing super spicy

Baking

i love baking chocolate stuff

i prefer cakes and other things with frosting

I'd like to learn how to do confections like chocolate covered caramels

I’ve been baking since I was nine

DNI if you’re antisemitic, transphobic, homophobic, racist, sexist, ableist, or misogynistic. Also you will be blocked for any creepy behavior and I am a minor.

#taylor swift #writing #reading #mystery #fantasy #folklore taylor swift #evermore taylor swift #fearless taylor swift #speak now taylor swift #1989 taylor's version #lover taylor swift #taylors version #cats #baking #Noir movies #jewish #speak now taylor’s version

I wanted to explore new techniques with After Effects with an older illustration. It just really makes the scene alive I think ! I also added sound, and yes I took some sounds from Disco Elysium because I was looking for vintage phone operator sounds and I found nothing more exploitable than Alice's lines :'D

Find more of this universe/characters on this blog!

Phantom Lady, 1944

Ella Raines in one of the most characteristic and "famous" moments of the film Phantom Lady , 1944. The viewers enjoy the involvement of Ella with Elisha Cooke Jnr, who plays a very horny drummer, who will probably be one of your favourite characters in this film.

When Cook does his big solo, with its double strokes, paradiddles and increasing sweat and effort, Ella Raines stands before him and comes to orgasm! Someone called it ‘rape by jazz’...

Phantom Lady is a 1944 American film noir directed by Robert Siodmak.The film was Siodmak's first Hollywood noir and was based on the novel of the same name written by Cornell Woolrich but published under the pseudonym William Irish.
