Hi peeps, I'm so sorry yesterday's link got blocked again. It's been really odd how even blurred videos without audio seem to be a new problem on YouTube. I've blurred this one a LOT more and it seems to be okay so far. As per usual, if it gets blocked again, I'll blurr more and reupload.

It's just that exporting and uploading a full length video like this takes a lot of processing time and for example like yesterday if I need 2 try's, I can't stay up to do it a 3rd time that same evening. ANYWAY. hope this one works, I hope you can still easily sync with it and enjoy!!

This is one of my favorite movies :) I was 10 when I first saw it, which I think was just about the perfect age: Old enough to not be too scared by the scary parts, but young enough to get swept up in the magic of it all. The story of the making of the movie is a long one. But the short version is that it was based (very loosely) on a novel called "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?" in which humans interacted with comic strip characters. For the movie, the "Toons" were rewritten as animated cartoon characters, and the whole thing was meant as a tribute to classic 1940s & '50s cartoons (and also detective movies of the same period). It was made through Disney (which released it under its "Touchstone Pictures" label), but the producers were able to make deals that allowed characters from other studios to appear. Executive producer Steven Spielberg played a large part in this. As for it being a "kids' movie" - I think it was thought of more as a "family movie" at the time, in that both kids and adults could find things to enjoy. And yeah, "family" movies in the 80s were maybe a bit edgier than they are today. :)

That is so crazy that they block blurred soundless videos like this.

When I was a child I had a book about the making of this film. It had a load of behind the scenes photographs showing how they did the scenes where the humans and toons interact; Eddie holding Roger under the water, or Jessica playing with their clothing, for example. It was so mind-blowing for me and one of the things that really sparked my interest in the making of movies. I still find this film astonishing, but what's really amazing about it is the wit and intelligence of its script, and the brilliance of Bob Hoskins' performance to make us believe in this illusion. I wish more films today were made with this level of care and imagination.
