June 21, 1988 –
Robert Zemeckis’ incredible advance in animation, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, opened in NYC on this date.
Since the movie was being made by Disney’s Touchstone Pictures, Warner Bros. would only allow use of their biggest cartoon stars, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, if they got as much screen time as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. For that reason, they were always in pairs, such as the piano battle between Daffy and Donald and the parachute scene with Bugs and Mickey. This was continued with Porky Pig and Tinkerbell at the end of the movie.
