Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAs Roger runs along the top of the logs, there is a whip-pan shot where the camera passes by a poster for 'Rigid Tools' with a woman seductively straddling a saw, styled in cheescake 1940s fashion. This poster became the bane of Disney for several years and resulted in the laserdisc version of this short getting recalled and re-issued minus the now digitally-erased poster. Many VHS editions of the short still contain the full version, though it is actually only viewable on screen for about 4 frames.
- GoofsThe pin on Baby Herman's diaper disappears and reappears between various shots.
- Quotes
Roger Rabbit: Jeepers Baby Herman, you had me worried. I almost dropped a log back there.
- Crazy creditsAt one point, the deflating Earth flies by, and you can hear Roger Rabbit screaming.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Best of Roger Rabbit (1996)
Featured review
Disney being bad...heh heh
I remember 'Entertainment Weekly' panning this cartoon when it came out for its crudeness and sexiness. I'll agree that the 'dropped a log' line is a bit much but on the whole the cartoon seems to be a foil for Disney animator's frustrations with the 'Disney' way of storytelling. To that end, this is the most violent and faced-paced of the Roger Rabbit shorts with Roger getting threatened by a shot gun, bashed countless times, with a face-ful of bee sting welts, and sliced up by the saw-mill.
The drawings are certainly not top-notch with Roger and Baby looking like distant cousins of their characters in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'. The backgrounds are bright and lively but this certainly is the most forgettable Maroon Cartoon short and possibly why others were not produced. Less an homage to Tex Avery and other 1940's-50's cartoon shorts, it just goes a little too far cramming one rabbit-pummeling gag after another.
