WFRR Movie Mistakes

Even our favorite movie has some mistakes, and someone decided to gather several of them in a single video. Many are continuity goofs and visible production equipment, but they’re worth the watch (and you’ll even start to wonder “Hey, why I didn’t notice that before?”).

Roger Rabbit pencil test

You probably remember the CGI animation test we blogged about recently, well here is the pencil animation for it as well:



The Roger Rabbit scene can be seen at the end, pretty much the same as the other video except in pencil instead of CGI.

Finally, some news! Well, sort of…

/Film gives us an update of the upcoming Roger Rabbit sequel… Well, not actually.

They talk about a “newly discovered” screen test made for “Roger Rabbit 2” back in 1998. If you’re familiar with this blog, maybe you’ll remember we reviewed that screen test, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO:

Toontown Antics - Meet Roger Rabbit – In 3D!!

I found that screen test back in May of this year, in Brendan Body’s blog. Someone decided to upload it to YouTube (since it was originally hosted on Vimeo) and then Cartoon Brew picked it up, claiming it was a new discovery. Let’s remember what we’re talking about fellas:

Eric Guaglione's Roger Rabbit 2 Test from Brendan Body on Vimeo.

Although we don’t credit Cartoon Brew on that find (instead, we choose to credit Brendan Body since he was the person that found the RR2 test in Eric Guaglione’s website and shared it with everyone), we instead can credit them for bringing more news about that failed project, as some persons that were involved in it posted about their own experiences in the pre-production stages of this ill-fated prequel, and shared some facts about the making of that animated sequence.

I invite you to read about them in /Film or in Cartoon Brew, it’s a really interesting read and absolutely worth your time if you’re a hardcore Roger Rabbit fan like me =3

UPDATE: Eric Goldberg (Animation Director of this project) left his own comments on Cartoon Brew and explains a little about how this test was made and why the prequel project was canceled, besides costs. You gotta read this guy! =D

Who Censored Roger Rabbit? Available as an e-book

Thanks to TeleRead, I discovered that Gary K. Wolf (creator of Roger Rabbit, Toontown and the whole basis for “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”) is now selling his most famous book, the one that started it all, the big banana: Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, as an e-book through Smashwords.

You can get the book here, among with his first novel Killerbowl. It costs only a couple of bucks!! =D

It worths the read, although be warned: after reading it, you won’t ever see Roger or Jessica in the same way. But what the heck: the book is quite funny and entertaining!

P.S. If you aren’t convinced yet, you can read a small sample of the book; it’s totally free!

This Only Happens in the Movies

This sweet, lovable song was supposed to be part of the Original Soundtrack of "Who Discovered Roger Rabbit": one of the failed projects for pulling out a Roger Rabbit sequel. It was released some time ago in a CD Album sung by Kerry Butler, but almost no one knew of its existence... Until now, thanks to Youtube user SSlovebird (who also shared the song with the Roger Rabbit Fan Club at DeviantART).

Hope you enjoy this great song! Thanks again to SSlovebird!!

Roger Rabbit and the Secrets of Toontown

Youtube user Turnmills2000 just uploaded the whole documentary about the making of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but not the downsized one included in the movie DVD: actually is the original “making of” broadcasted worldwide more than 20 years ago, when the movie was premiered!!

Here it is: Roger Rabbit and the Secrets of Toontown (hosted by Joanna Cassidy, who played Dolores in the movie).

  

Thanks, Turnmills2000, for uploading this documentary and sharing it with everyone! =3

Hello World!

Hello, and welcome to Toontown Antics!

As you can notice, this blog will be mainly devoted to one of the greatest bunnies in animated world: Roger Rabbit, as well to his fellow friends. Also, it will feature the newest items on my "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and my other miscellaneous collections (there's a lot of character plushies on my room, hehe), some of my impressions about the newest animated features (both small and big screen), and some antics and tidbits from my personal life (hence the name "Toontown Antics").

Feel free to comment and share your points of view with everyone! I'll be reading all your comments but p-p-p-p-please, be polite and have fun!!
