Roger Rabbit (deleted scene) the Pig Head

Roger Rabbit (deleted scene) the Pig Head (Update)


http://youtube.com/watch?v=QIjU8v--kjY

Here’s the scene (actually a collection of scenes) that were deleted from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. That gorilla from the club in the earlier scene catches Eddie and Judge Doom sends Eddie to Toon Town with the weasels. They paint a living cartoon pig face over his head and Eddie freaks out.

Notes:

~That famous Witch from the loony toons cartoons with the hair-pens makes an appearance here. Look closely…

~Jessica Rabbit appears to be working for Doom, or we’re supposed to believe that in this scene. She would later try to convince Eddie that she’s a good person...er cartoon

~The FX shots of Eddie washing the ‘pig head’ off are nicely done here.

~It would appear that these scenes were deleted very late in the post-production process.

Side post: Here’s a “making of” special that’s a little creepy. Yeah, the guy that did the voice was on set reading the lines in a roger rabbit suit.

See to me, in the context of the narrative, I really think this scene would have sidetracked things. I mean, it added layers that didn't need to be there really.

I can see your point, being that the story is already a full story. (plus, it weakens Eddie's fear of going to toon town, because he was there during this scene.)

But, I sort of like that Jessica Rabbit is implied that she's involved with the bad guys. But I see your point

Well, that and the idea that you could draw living cartoon tissue on a human being muddies things to.

I can see that. But, I really liked that FX shot. It does make the whole thing a bit more confusing.

I always figured that only humans could create toons in he Roger rabbit universe.
