Here's a swipe John snuck in at Lorre in the first episode of Beany & Cecil '88, by the way. Directed by John K, written by Chuck Lorre, surely one of the great oil & water combinations in animation history

One of the most compelling moments in Roger Rabbit, which I never hear singled out for attention, is when Eddie briefly has to fight the weasels in the bar. It's the only time when any human is in imminent danger of actually being killed by a Toon, which makes them feel "real" in a way that all subsequent RR "inspired" films have never done - by making them a legitimate threat to human beings & not just a silly sideshow. Yeah, Eddie fights Doom at the end, but he's like a Supervillain at that point - here the weasels are just using things like bladed weapons, & Eddie is smashing bottles in their faces - it's played straight, it's the grittiest thing in the movie. If anyone tries to make another live action / animation hybrid film that aspires to the level of immersive fantasy this one did, they should exploit that angle because the contrast between unreal cartoon characters & real world violence is potent.

Live action / animation hybrids have always worked better in small doses, & this commercial illustrates something I tried to articulate in my Superman commentary, which is that when you see Superman in his native cartoon form, your brain accepts him *as Superman* more you ever could any actor - even if you recognize Patrick Warburton's voice. This commercial requires less suspension of disbelief than any live action Superman film ever made

It's too bad Warner Bros. didn't just keep making big flashy Batman movies with special guest villains every 2-3 years into the 2000s, because here's Martin Short playing the Mad Hatter in 1999 & you can absolutely see the funny but menacing energy he would've brought to the role

One of the great things about Escape From New York is how the opening prologue plays like the attract mode for a beat 'em up. Maybe Final Fight got some inspiration from it
