The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day isn’t bad, it’s just drawn that way.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
Stepping clear of the all horror/movie monster centric October run of BtSPotD we find ourselves with a rather interesting (and a bit risqué) picture from the filming of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?
This particular title is bound to have plent of interesting behind the scenes potential due to the crazy technique used to bring the hybrid live action/cartoon worlds together.
I have many fond memories of this film. In fact, it’s an early movie memory for me. I can vividly remember watching this in the theater with my mom. As I grew older the references became more clear, but I recall even at a young age thinking how different this movie was from others of its type. Jessica Rabbit was an unapologetic sex symbol, her animated cleavage causing more than a few young boys to see the light. Probably some young girls, too. I’m sure Jessica swings, so whatever floats your boat.
The photo comes from reader Steve Abramson and was one of my top contenders for the recent Making of Empire Strikes Back book contest I just ran. He got it from Cinefex and makes sure to point out that the human stand in for Jessica Rabbit is an actress named Betsy Brantley.
I hope you guys enjoy the image and make sure to click for the mega-version of it.
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
I think tomorrow’s pic is the start of a beautiful friendship.

Vote for Jessica Rabbit!
-
She's like the 'toon version of a starlet with MASSIVELY FAKE GIANT TITS, a la Pamela Anderson. To quote Weird Science, "Anything more than a handful's wasted". Pocahontas and Esmeralda (Hunchback) and Ariel are all MUCH hotter cartoon cuties.
-
...had everything to do with Kathleen Turner's pipes. My God, that woman was sex on a stick (Body Heat?) until she Kirstie Alley-ed out...
-
as opposed to those other underage fairytales i.e Aerial or Pocahontas. We need more real voluptuous women in our animated films.
-
When rumors of a Roger Rabbit sequel pop up, I cringe, because I know that they would do it all with computers, and the magic of all that hand-drawn animation would be down gone. I loved that movie. So much remarkable practical effects work. Brilliant. And I have to agree with Nasty-Pasty. I'd rather split the little mermaids fins than play patty-cake with Jessica. If you think that's wrong, then I won't go into details of what I would do with the centaur ladies of Fantasia.
-
It's completely amazing that they got so many different cartoon characters in their classic forms to appear together onscreen. All hail the golden age of animation and Roger Rabbit for bringing it back at least for a little while. Maybe we will get another golden age revival. The public demands violent nonsensical over the top cartoons.
-
Now he could teach a master class on how not to use motion capture. Just God awful crap from him in recent years. So sad.
-
Really makes that club look creepy. I guess because Jessica, with her massively overt sexuality, seemed more than a match for all of those leering guys it didn't come off as quite as disturbing on film. Really interesting to see, and a cool shot.
-
Happy Xbox-rape day!!!!
-
so when's the first bts pic from a porno?
-
The way this move was made was amazing...and it shows. There was a level of skill present in the production of Roger Rabbit that has not been seen since CGI made the scene. Classic movie...instead of a sequel,I would love if they would just re-release this one to theatres.
-
Puts Giacchino's Pixar scores to shame.
-
You mean Zeke Andersons Dr girl in Tour Of Duty?? Man I used to love Tour Of Duty. Staying up late (real late) on a Saturday to catch in on ITV. Paint it black! Didi mau! Dit mau! Dit mau!
-
Get me some money too
-
Interesting topic. Never really thought about it before. I guess you mean "before the rise of CG". <p> I'd be tempted to go for "The Abyss" if you mean a film with great practical effects work rather than a great film with good practical effects. (I consider The Abyss a good movie, but not a great one.) <p> Of course, The Abyss was also the movie whose five minute pseudopod sequence also kickstarted the modern computer effects industry...
-
...until "CONTACT", which was just pretentious oscar bait. Maybe he burned himself out on filming ridiculously complex live action films. Going the motion capture route is his way of taking it easy.

-
Must have seen it about 4 times when it was released ... it had a very magical feel when watched in a dark cinema.
-
it came after RR but it's not as popular which is a bit unfair because its a very good movie too.<br /> <p>it also has a sexy toon version of Kim Basinger:<br /> <p>http://imdb.to/bOVgZ6<br /> <p>http://imdb.to/9MUzj7
-
Er, no. She's really not.
-
This is one of those movies where I prefer not knowing how they did it. That was just a woman they drew over? Ahh man!
-
Everything about it was pretty awful aside from how hot Holli was.
-
Try another word. We'll wait.
-
of the guys' faces then that chick shoulda been nude
-
live action remake with christina hendricks as jessica and verne troyer in bunny suit as roger. IT COULD WORK!
-
was sooo awesome as the villian in this film. One of my childhood favs and yes, Jessica Rabbit caused me to go thru several boxes of tissue paper.
-
Worst Zemekis film ever!
-
she epitomizes fake hollywood with tits bigger than her head and a waist you could strap a wristwatch around and on top of all that she's a goldigging whore. Garbage!
-
i believe the animation is the standing dead man in a yellow suit from 'blue velvet'
-
In the movie she looks about 25.
-
Was the scene when Eddie fell off the cliff and ran into Bugs Buuny and "The Mouse" WOW! I get nerd boy goose bumps every time I see that!

CGI still has to be drawn, you could make a new Roger rabit movie that was CGI and you could make it look hand drawn. It's not really about whether it's handdrawn or not. CG characters are still handdrawn, just not on paper. It's about the stories you put them in. If it's bad film, it's bad whether it was hand drawn or not. See plenty of the later disney films. Proof that CG isn't the problem. Pixar.
-
Yep, Disney sure didn't want the pron industry to have to work very hard to come up with titles for that one.
-
was also Fred Savage's mom in the opening scene of The Princess Bride and she also had a part in the Rocky Horror sequel Shock Treatment. good stuff. great BTS pic!
-
"...and the rabbit out to dry. C'mon boys, let's amscray." I have such affection and admiration for this film. The animation was great, the effects really clever, Bob Hoskins and Christopher Lloyd, the insane soundtrack. Loved it in the theaters and watched it a million times on VHS. How many years later and I bet I still could recite almost the whole thing by heart.
-
...when he was ogling an animated hottie.<p> He was ogling an ACTUAL hottie.<p> I'm so disillusioned.
-
...the vhs and laserdisc to capture the moment where Jessica proves that the carpet matches the drapes? I remember reading that they removed the offending frames for dvd.

Bill Murray as Eddie Valient!!!! Hoskins ruined this movie.
by Professor_Monster
Okay, maybe he didn't ruin it, but there was something cool about Zemeckis wanting Murray in the movie because he's a great reactor to all things weird going on around him. Hoskins was unknown to me at 15 and I think alot of the funny was lost because of him. It's the Stoltz, Fox thing all over again, but I guess Zemeckis was selling the technology in this movie and not the actors, unlike BTTF. Man, can you imagine Murray falling off the building with Bugs and Mickey... instant wall poster!
-
Hoskins makes every movie he is in pure gold. Shut up. <p> Also, Jessica Rabbit's not a golddigger. Roger makes her laugh.
-
Hoskins bores the shit out of me.
-
I can't wait to see some Casablanca BTS goodness.
-
YOU"RE DEAD ! YOU'RE ALL DEAD!
-
You just shifted my paradigm. <p>Also, as much as I dearly love Bill Murray, I cannot see him playing the part of Eddie Valient. "GET OUTTA THAT CHAIR!!!" It would have been a totally different movie.
-
That is just plain weird. I thought he was one of those universally-enjoyed actors.<p>
-
Has there ever been one? I've always wanted a really, really in-depth making of documentary to accompany this film. The extras on the existing UK DVD are beyond shit (I can't speak for the US version). I really really hope that for the blu-ray they pull out the stops and give this amazing film the treatment it deserves.
