![]() ![]() The problem with this mentality is that it’s bullshit. Jessica Rabbit, with her fleshy plump boobs, was the girl every guy wanted to get, and the boys who watched the film figured that because they were dorks like Roger that meant that they “deserved” a girl as equally attractive. The attitude of “Girls should like me because I’m a nice guy” has festered into something perverse and Jessica Rabbit became a prominent figure in this fucked up farce of manners. Roger Rabbit, Jessica’s husband, is a dork and a nerd by any standards and so the relationship has become a kind of symbol for bitter men everywhere. The conflict became, as so often happens, with young men who couldn’t get laid turning her character into a fetish. The various boobs puns and physical jokes made Who Framed Roger Rabbit the secretly adult film that everybody enjoyed. Jessica Rabbit : You don’t know how hard it is being a woman looking the way I do.Įddie Valiant : You don’t know how hard it is being a man looking at a woman looking the way you do. Straight men everywhere had collected hard-ons for Jessica Rabbit, and the following lines were memorized by puberty-stricken boys (like I was some painfully short time ago) everywhere: Jessica Rabbit, before I knew who she was, was one of my favorites for two obvious reasons: the first was her two curvaceous breasts and the second was her ridiculous body shape, see what I did there? Since the film premiered in 1988, Jessica Rabbit has become a cartoon sex symbol before Japanese tentacle porn became a parody of itself. I’ve written before that I would often steal these magazines and look through them entranced by the naked women found therein, but between my careful studies of the centerfolds I actually really enjoyed the comics and artwork. My first introduction of the character wasn’t actually her vivacious performance in the film, but actually a few cartoons of her in one of my father’s Playboys. That’s why the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Has remained not only one of my favorite films, but also one that leaves me intrigued.īefore I get to that though I need to address Jessica Rabbit. Still watching this scene just the other day with my family I was amazed even then that such a moment could actually happen. I take some pride in recognizing that even at that age I realized that most lawyers were subhuman. Even at that age I understood the basics of corporate copyright and that even though it would be awesome for the pair of them to star in a cartoon together, the adults in charge of such decisions didn’t want it because it would be complicated, cost money, and that you’d probably have to involve lawyers. I remember being a kid and watching this scene enraptured by the fact that Mickey Mouse could appear alongside Bugs Bunny, who was always my favorite of the two (he just had more character than Mickey) on the same screen. Here’s the spare.Įddie Valiant : Aw, no! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Mickey Mouse : Gee, uh, better let him have it, Bugs.īugs Bunny : Okay, Doc. Heh, heh.īugs Bunny : Yeah, but I don’t think you want it.Įddie Valiant : I do, I do. The other problem is the fact that the last time he was on screen alongside the infamous rabbit the following scene appeared:īugs Bunny : Eh, what’s up, Doc? Jumpin’ without a parachute? Kinda dangerous, ain’t it? The reality of licensing issues, as well as Disney’s general soullessness will prevent their beloved Mickey from ever appearing on screen alongside Bugs Bunny who’s fallen upon hard times in recent reboots. Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse on the same screen will never happen again.
