In the miraculous film by Robert Kartekis Noir "who frames Roger Rabbit", The alcoholic detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) must, during his investigations, travel to a particularly dangerous part of Los Angeles. Tontown, located outside Pasadena, is a freight part of the city where its cartoon citizens live, and it is built specifically with civic citizenship in mind. The laws of physics are changed to Tontown, and even buildings are alive and conscious. Eddie, a live man with action, is in constant death.

In a stand sequence, Eddie finds himself lowering the top of Tontown's high rise. While in free fall, he encountered two celebrities. Bugs Bunny (Mel Blanc) and Mickey Mouse (Wayne Allwine), equipped with slipping equipment, retreat to Eddie and accidentally point out that parachute scrolling is a kind of danger. In the end, they offer Eddie Spare Parachute before pulling the ripples alone. As a last wrapper, the "backup" handed over by Eddie was a spare tire. Fortunately, Eddie is caught before he can enter the pavement tone below.

In 1988, when the Roger Rabbit was released, the audience stood in fear of the scenes. Anyone watching knew that Mickey Mouse was the official mascot of the Disney Corporation, while Bugs Bani was Warner Bros.'s face. The two characters were considered corporate rivals, and they never occupied the same space. Looking at mistakes and Mickey on the screen together allowed viewers to think about Byzantine legal Rigmarol, they probably have to make the scene.

As so, a careful act of balancing was required, needed for many crossover scenes of cartoons in "Who Wrap Roger Rabbit". According to a 2018 article in Hollywood reporterWe can all thank Steven Spielberg for the varied Mishmash with a licensed character. And, even then, there were provisions about a few characters of Warner Bros..

During "Roger Rabbit", you can see characters owned by Disney, Warner Bros., King's features, Turner, Studio Fleischer and several others. In many scenes, these characters appear next to each other, especially in the last scenes of the film, when the tontowned days all overflow into the real world.

"Roger Rabbit" was distributed by TouchStone Pictures, the hand of the Disney Corporation, designed for more adult tickets. At the time, Michael Azner was Disney's head, and he was still friends with ultra-director Steven Spielberg from their paramount days (Spielberg made "Indiana Ons: The thieves of the lost casket" for Paramount, when Aisner was still great). Spielberg - producer of Roger Rabbit, seems to have asked all the above -mentioned Animation Study to borrow their most famous characters, offering all the flat rate of $ 5,000 per character. The above shot cost at least $ 115,000 a license.

However, Warner Bros., knowing that Disney is a rival, there is demand: Bugs Bunny could only share the screen with Mickey Mouse if both characters were given exactly equal time on the screen. This is why mistakes and Mickey appeared on the screen together and stayed on the screen together for the length of their sliding sequence. This was also the case with the finals of the film, where the mistakes and Mickey were seen standing next to each other.

The provision of the WB was held for other characters. Earlier in the film, both Duffy Duffy Duffy and Disney Donald Duck played a piano at the toon nightclub, and their hidden is exactly equal. The same thing about the latest film footage, with SVB's pork Magical by Disney's Tinkerbell. For a moment we will ignore "Roger Rabbit" in 1947, and Disney's Tinkerbell was not invented until 1953.

Diability of Disney Web site He also noted that Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse had another rule to adhere to: both were not allowed to tell each other complete names. It can be noted that mistakes never refer to Mickey like "Mickey", and Mickey called Bugs Bani as just "mistakes". This may be a legal condition, but it was also in character. Mickey would refer to friends by their first names, while mistakes tend to call people "Doc". If the mistakes really wanted to be serious, he may have referred to G -Din Mouse as Michael.

It was supposed to be done serious, time consuming to take classes of many, many "Roger Rabbit", however. It is complete that Dambo on Disney, for example, has the same time on the screen as Yosemit Sam (Blanc). There may have been a recipe for beans somewhere in Warner Bros., counting the animated frames of the SB characters against Disney's characters. As an ordinary viewer who doesn't mind getting involved in such an overview, I can say that the balance at least feels accurate.

Steven Spielberg tried to make a similar crossover Mashup in 2018 With the publication of "Ready Player One", Based on Ernest Klin's novel. That film was heavily in a huge, computer -generated simulation, with players invited to invent any digital avatars they liked. Most of them took their signs of design of the characters of Messianic, pop culture obsessed with Gen-Xer, and disguised themselves as characters like Jason Woches, Fighters Mortal Combat, figures of Healthy Kitty, Monsters, Superheroes and Other Figures, and 90th and Other Figures (90s.Although Spielberg tried to withdraw references to his films). The result, however, was not as exciting or striking as it was 30 years earlier. Pop culture became clear corporate and there was no pleasure to see pop -ups. "Roger Rabbit" was a door to the door. "Ready player one" was just a sign we drowned.
