Welcome to the first Two- Part episode of Season 3 (?).

We had to split this one into two parts, because the details of how this movie was made are so incredible, not to mention revolutionary. There’s a reason Richard Williams got an honorary Oscar for his work on this film!

Of course we’re talking about Disney’s 1988 spectacular animation/life action crossover: ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit?’

Based loosely on the novel ‘Who Censored Roger Rabbit?’ written by Gary K. Wolf.

Aly takes us through some information on Gary K. Wolf and his novels, included some fun Q&As she found on a reddit thread! There are a quite a few differences between the film and the novel, but a lot of the changes were actually really necessary to make the story make sense as a movie and Wolf has stated he genuinely likes the edits. He went on to write two more novels about Roger and his pals, but changed the characters around to fit the Disney film’s changes (and get on that Disney money train).

After we discuss the source material, Aly moves on to an overview of another big influence on Roger Rabbit: film noir. She goes over the history of this genre/not-genre as well as some of the key elements that categorise a film as noir.
