Roger Rabbit short films

Roger Rabbit was featured in a series of cartoon shorts following the popularity of the movie. These shorts were presented in front of various Touchstone/Disney features in an attempt to revive short subject animation as a part of the movie-going experience. These shorts include Tummy Trouble (The short took 70 animators nine months to produce) released in front of the blockbuster Honey, I Shrunk The Kids, Roller Coaster Rabbit shown in front of the hit Dick Tracy and Trail Mix-Up shown in front of the soon forgotten A Far Off Place (starring a then unknown Reese Witherspoon).

Roger Rabbit circa 1983. Pictured as Eddie Valiant is Disney animator Mike Gabriel, next to a very different Roger than what we’ve all come to know. This was after Disney’s acquisition of the rights to 1981 Gary Wolf novel “Who Censored Roger Rabbit?”.
