Roger Rabbit was featured in a series of cartoon shorts following the popularity of the movie. He is framed for the murder of Toontown owner Marvin Acme and seeks out Eddie Valiant to help clear his name. In the film version, he is re-envisioned as a 1940's character in animated cartoons and a resident of the fictional Los Angeles enclave Toontown. Roger does not take well to alcoholic beverages it is shown twice in the film that when he has consumed one, he changes color rapidly, at least one of his eyes swells, his head spins and he mumbles incoherently at a fast pace, before stretching up into the air and whistling like a steam train at a loud enough tone to shatter glass, all the while spinning around. He is a white clownish rabbit with a gap between his front teeth, a voice that resonates of Huntz Hall in "The Bowery Boys", a blue Porky Pig-like bowtie with yellow spots, a droopy-like hair, a Bugs Bunny-like head with blue eyes, a pink nose and round-tipped ears, red Oswald-like pants with a green patch behind and Mickey Mouse-like gloves (yellow ones). One of his famous traits is his voice, "P-b-b-b-b-bleeeease!". In the movie, the voice of Roger Rabbit is performed by Charles Fleischer, who was known for electing to wear an actual rabbit costume on the set to get into the role. While his antics initially annoy Eddie and he wants nothing to do with him, even he eventually comes to appreciate his better qualities, which contributes to him getting over his negative bias towards Toons due to seeing they're not all bad. However, he's also genuinely kind, empathetic and well-meaning, and takes the concept of using humor to make people happy quite seriously, which probably contributes to why he get along well with many of his fellow Toons like Baby Herman and Benny the Cab, as well as why Jessica is attracted to him (in addition to his sense of humor, which is considered a very important quality among Toons). He is also somewhat childish and somewhat dimwitted at times. In many ways, Roger acts like a typical cartoon character, meaning he's very prone to acting over-the-top, regardless of what emotion he's feeling. 2.4 Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (movie). ![]() Watch them together as a family, and you won't feel bad about screen time. And, best of all, you can find these kids movies on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, HBO Max, Paramount+ and Peacock, so you don't have to dig out your old discs. Some are great animated movies that kids can start watching as soon as they have an attention span for a toddler movie, while others are better suited for older kids who can appreciate the themes more. Some are the stone-cold classics that have stood the test of time and remained favorites for decades, while some are new favorites that are following current trends. These are 60 of the best kids' movies of all time to work through before they're all grown up and out of the house. The flip side is that, at any given moment, there are just so many kids' movies ready at the press of a button, so it can be hard to figure out which movie to choose. There's no need to cross your fingers and hope that your family's favorites are available at the video store, and there's no worry that - heaven forbid - they're locked away in "the vault" and unavailable to watch. Kids today are lucky: When they latch onto a movie, it's generally available to them around-the-clock, thanks to the proliferation of streaming services (depending on which ones you may or may not subscribe to). ![]()
