Yes, it's true. 25 years ago, the movie classic "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was released on the silver screen and is celebrating it's silver anniversary this year! It has a great story, memorable characters, fantastic animation & ground-breaking film technology. Just about everyone has seen this movie, but for those of you who haven't seen it, I'll be nice. Here's the full movie on YouTube [link] and a really creative, fan-made, hour-long, documentary-style video about how the film was made [link] .

For the drawing, there's a small story I made behind it. The drawing itself is the after-effect. On the day of the 25th anniversary, just about all the film's main characters arrived at the Acme Factory to celebrate. A giant, 5-tiered cake has been made for the ocasion, each cake simbolizing 5 years. The only person not there is Roger himself. He's rushing as fast as he can driving Benny since they're both late for this very important date. They arrive at the factory, accidently crashing into the cake, causing the mess you see here. I took a while for me to find a good enough background from the movie, but I did find a menu from the DVD & used that. I also wanted to include Judge Doom into the mix, but in keeping of the spirit of the character being dipped, I made him a ghost. I also wanted to draw his curvy hair but it didn't look right so I drew his hat instead. I don't have a good reason why the Weasels are alive again. You make up that on on your own.

And now for my history with the movie. For starters, I actually didn't grow up with this movie, but I was familiar with the character of Roger growing up. I remember seeing him in "Disneyland Fun Sing Along" [link] and a few meet and greets at the Disney Parks.
Later on, in about my middle school years, I was channel surfing and came across the movie being shown on Cartoon Network. Of course, I didn't know Roger was in it. The part it was on was Eddie's encounter with ToonTown [link] and once I saw all those toons together in one place I was glued to the tube. I didn't think that could ever happen, all those cartoons together! And just to clarify, I didn't know this was made by Disney. I recognized Benny when he appeared in that scene ('cause he once appeared in an episode of House of Mouse) & once Roger drove in on Eddie's car, I went "ROGER?!" and I remembered his fun from the stuff I saw him from outside this movie. I also recognized where Toontown from the Magic Kingdom came from.
Later my parents bought the movie at Blockbuster Video and started from scratch with this movie, clicking with it immediately. Why? Doug Walker put it best in his Disneycember video on the film: [link]

And so, to finish up, I'd like to wish a happy silver birthday to a golden film. I hope this film keeps being watched by people of young and old because nobody can hate this film. Thank you and abba-dee-badee-badee-badee-that's all folks!

Comment and enjoy!
