This was a treat. Plain and simple, this whole story is Barbera Walters interviewing Roger Rabbit. It is done how most celebrity interviews are conducted, starting off with a complete introduction of the arrival and meeting. This is then followed by a transcript of the actual interview. The whole thing is witty as hell. Even the parts before Roger shows up is comically written.
If you are a fan of Roger Rabbit in any capacity, then this is a great little gem. It really reminds you what made that character so endearing. He is entirely a toon and is fully knowledgeable about what being a toon is all about. Being he is one of the sillier ones, he does a good job at giving his opinion in his own goofy way. I totally recommend this one.
The story is brief, so I want to keep the review brief as well. I will, however, leave you with my two favorite parts of the whole interview:
Barbera Walters: How old are you?
Roger Rabbit: That's one of two questions you never ask a Toon.
Barbera Walters: What's the other one?
Roger Rabbit: What's the other one.
-----
Barbera Walters: How do you feel about sex in the cinema?
Roger Rabbit: Personally, I prefer popcorn.

ReplyDeleteThey were great!
DeleteInterviewing a cartoon character would be interesting. What kind of existence do they have off the screen? Do they actually see the speech bubbles when they speak?
ReplyDeleteApparently the speech bubble thing is considered to be more of an accent or something. They can switch it off.
