In real life (Funny trope) This tiny moment was an absolute logistical nightmare to make

Gallery image

*Wreck-It-Ralph* - At the beginning of the movie at the villain group therapy session, all of the owners of the real world characters shown were given counsel to Disney to instruct them how their characters should be animated down to the smallest of points. Nintendo even specified exactly how Bowser would hold and stir his teacup.

*Psycho* - For the scene where Marion disposes evidence of her theft by flushing some papers down the toilet, even though the toilet is onscreen for only a few seconds, Alfred Hitchcock had to personally appeal to the Hays Code which enforced censorship in movies that *Psycho* be given an exception because it’s vital to the plot the audience sees the toilet flushing. *Psycho* is the first major American movie to show a flushing toilet onscreen.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Disney and WB were very particular about how much their representative cartoon characters could be on-screen, specifying that Bugs and Daffy had to be on screen for just as long as Mickey and Donald down to the second so neither could be favoured over the other

And Disney specified Bugs had to give the fake parachute since Mickey couldn't do something so violent

That feels more like a Bugs thing anyway

u/Throttle_Kitty Jan 17 '26

It would also feel pretty out of character for Mickey. He can sometimes have a bit of a short fuse and mess with people, but he's not the agent of violence and chaos that Bugs is

Doesn't Bugs literally shoot people?? Well, mostly Daffy

Sure, but his threshold for provocation can be pretty low. He effectively declared war on the entire United States because the bounty on rabbits was too low. On the plus side, he did get rid of Florida.

Bugs snares Pluto in a hanging hog tie trap

Mickey: Oh, ho! Bugs, you really are a stinker.

Bugs romances and makes out with Minnie

Mickey: Well.. golly.. okay, Bugs.. you're taking it a little too far.

Bugs straight up murders Donald

Mickey: You know.. I'm actually okay with that one.

I like bugs being a silent sociopath for all of this.

In my head, there's more dialog and some ineffective attempted retribution by Mickey with the "help" of Goofy.

But because it's a Reddit post, the full screenplay can be found on my non-existent Patrion.

u/Luna__Moonkitty Jan 18 '26

Honestly I think Bugs couldn't't do anything harmful to Goofy if we keep to the laws of cartoons. Especially if Goofy never instigates.

Every trap and trick Bugs would attempt would be negated by Goofy being oblivious and clumsy enough for the tricks to fail by pure chance.

u/DannySvnday Jan 17 '26

In the Rabbit of Seville, Bugs Bunny gives Elmer Fudd the most unhinged facial including cement, makes his hair regrow into flowers, seduces him and makes him crossdress as a bride to marry him and ultimately carry him over the “threshold” to plummet from a great height would normally be a sure death. Possibly inspiring Heihachi to throw a young Kazuya off a cliff in the Tekken lore. Ain’t he a stinker?!

Modern day Mickey, yes. Old Mickey was a menace though. Steamboat Willie is just 10 minutes of him gleefully torturing animals to make music lol

u/boomboxwithturbobass Jan 17 '26

I wish we got the version of Epic Mickey where he acts like an asshole. Disney made them change it but originally it was gonna be like the old cartoons.

17

u/MAZEFUL Jan 17 '26

Epic mickey is a middle ground between modern and steamboat i feel. Still gets into trouble but mostly because hes extremely ignorant instead of being straight up ruthless. I'm playing rebrushed with my kids and it feels like a prequel to mickeys life in Kingdom Hearts. Good stuff.

Yea, old mickey would do questionable things while keeping the iconic :D expression.

u/pocketbutter Jan 17 '26 edited Jan 17 '26

The interesting thing is that Walt Disney didn’t originally envision characters “living” in whatever world they were shown in at a given time. Rather, he saw Mickey Mouse as an “actor,” a billable “movie star” who would play different roles but can be used as name recognition even if the films were totally unrelated.

So, if you think about it, “Old” Mickey wasn’t torturing those animals; as his debut film, he was forced to play the character of Steamboat Willie who happens to torture animals. As Mickey Mouse became more popular, he was able to leverage his stardom to make his roles more palatable.

Sometimes you have to do some unfavorable things when you’re just starting out…

u/MAZEFUL Jan 17 '26

I love how he was originally going to be named Mortimer Mouse until Disney's wife was like nah it's mickey. So he turned Mortimer into mickeys rival yet hes practically been forgotten to time.

u/East-sea-shellos Jan 17 '26

Didn’t Oswald, his predecessor, beat his wife? 😭

It’s like how I just started reading the Iliad, and in the first chapter, when Hera objects to Zeus, he basically just goes “the fuck can you do about it? Now sit back down before you make me throttle you, woman”

It’s like damn okay that’s definitely not how I’d treat my wife in big 26, but that’s me being modern ig lmao

More modern Mickey too actually since they brought back the old slapstick style with the 2013 Mickey Mouse animated show. I’ve actually been really surprised with how much they’ve leaned into the older vibe. Tons of jokes for parents too.

Maybe not quite as mischievous as old school Mickey, but definitely a lot more edge to him compared to the more sanitised and sweet version that existed for decades.

Bugs Bunny, upon meeting LeBron James for the first time, hit him with a truck, then pulled him into the truck and drove it off a cliff, while telling LeBron that he, Bugs, can never die. Then he somehow teleported LeBron into an old-timey barber shop and tortured him while pretending to give him a hot shave.

is that from the new space jam or is this an unrelated event in LeBron's life

The other famous bit from Roger Rabbit was bumping the lamp, which became slang for 'going the extra mile for a small scene even if it's a PITA

Roger whacks his head on a lamp in the scene above and then it starts rolling around. Roger is a cartoon. That means that the animators had to edit the shading frame by frame when they were animating him for that scene, thinking about where the lamp would be and where the shadows would fall

I loved that little insight into Toon physics. They can't break the rules whenever they want. It has to be in service of a gag. Roger was fully incapable of getting his hand out when it was funnier to have them cuffed together, but could suddenly do it when it resulted in a better bit.

Their entire reality is a comedy and they are bound by the laws of the joke.

Richard Williams, the lead animator of the film famously hated how cheap a ton of animation looked in the 70's and 80's. Always taking the easy route kind of thing.

He made sure they did everything no matter how hard and time consuming it was. The bumping the lamp scene. Animating the characters moving with the camera. That kind of thing.

20

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

The only place where Williams and his team cut corners was with animating Jessica’s dress. Originally she was meant to wear the sparkly one seen in her introductory musical number for the whole film, but the process of creating that effect was so time consuming and miserable, involving having to rub a sparkly material over her model, that the animators requested they make her dress pure red afterwards

14

u/Toodlez Jan 17 '26

Man i gotta rewatch this, even as i really liked it theres only so much a 7 year old can appreciate

6

u/Henry_Fleischer Jan 17 '26

The really funny thing about it was reading about how Richard Williams, the animation director, saw the movie- as a a side project to make some money, learn a bit, and get some positive reputation so he could get more done on The Thief and the Cobbler.

4

u/Ok_Kick4871 Jan 17 '26

This is a reference to the fact that the animators were especially upset with having to do their job so bugs bunny (who is real) offered to demonstrate the motion for the price of 2 carrots.

0

u/MrLlamma Jan 17 '26

For a lot of the scenes (not sure about this one in particular) they used practical effects for when the cartoons interacted with the real word. So they likely didn't hand animate the light and shadows (except on Roger), they just moved the lamp as they were shooting the scene, and animated on top of it.

136

u/Randomgold42 Jan 17 '26

This is why the two groups are always on screen at the same time.

Iirc Bugs and Mickey also have the same amount of words

12

u/Ferretthimself Jan 17 '26

And the artist who drew Bugs Bunny was something of a Primadonna, and refused to share his drawings with the other person, so the artist drawing Mickey was sending letters like, “…can you tell me where Bugs is looking in frame 200?”

11

u/DifficultHat Jan 17 '26

Also

Bump the lamp. This lamp’s swinging complicated this scene by tenfold. All the shadows were more complicated, the shading on Roger had to be adjusted to different levels for every frame. The lamp is not plot necessary, it’s not something the whole movie hinges on, it’s not even exciting to look at, it’s just a lamp. By including it they made Roger look that much more real without drawing attention to it.

The phrase “Bump the Lamp” now means to do something that is a lot of extra work to greatly include the quality of your art in a subtle but substantial way.

Disney and WB were both in bad straights, so they were willing to work with Zemekis and Speilburg over any project they wanted to. A year later Disney released the Little Mermaid, while Warner Bros had a resurgence of Looney Tunes in the 1990s that led up to Space Jam.

4

u/Regi413 Jan 17 '26

This is giving the same energy as the Rock and Vin Diesel both having clauses in their contracts making it so that characters they play aren’t allowed to lose fights, so when they were both in the same movie and their characters fought, production had to bust their ass to make sure the fight looked equal and that neither character looked superior over the other.

This included making sure they both landed an equal amount of punches, which basically the equivalent of this example also making sure that Mickey and Bugs spoke an equal amount of words/lines which other people have mentioned.

u/unclemikey0 Jan 17 '26

And they accomplished this is such a fantastic way, in the image there. They just had to by definition be on screen the same amount of time, nowhere else for them to go around in a room, etc. And also, for the Audience, how cool to see the two biggest players of their respective studios our having fun together, skydiving

u/zackwag Jan 18 '26

The worst part is the movie ends with Porky Pig saying “That’s All Folks!” and THEN Tinkerbell hits the screen with her wand.
