History Fridge / WhoFramedRogerRabbit

** Note the scene in the bar where a barrel of Dip gets dumped on the floor - everyone backs away from the puddle. Even if you don't know the ingredients, it kills the unkillable - definitely not something you want on your shoes (and probably something that should probably be in a well-ventilated area, at that).

* Also notice that Judge Doom puts on a rubber glove before liquidizing the shoe. Turpentine, acetone, and benzine are all ingredients in paint thinner, which would be harmless to humans...but fatal to a toon [[spoiler: like Doom]].

* FridgeLogic: Best ignored when viewing this film. (Specifically, the whole idea of who ''draws'' the toons and/or how they get created and by whom is never addressed.) Also, why would Doom simply destroy Toontown to make a freeway when he could probably enslave the toons to do his bidding (using the threat of the Dip as a means of controlling them) or bring in millions of tourists from all over the world to view them and charge admission? (One imagines that alone would bring in a lot more money than a simple freeway and a few gas stations.)

* FridgeBrilliance:
** All Toons seem to be crazy drivers - Roger can't drive and the weasels can't drive and we don't see Jessica driving. Think about it - if they're used to Toon cars like Benny (who think of themselves as people anyway) doing their driving for them, no wonder they can't drive.
*** Not that Benny can drive either.
** Judge Doom's insanity makes perfect sense given the timeframe. The theatric shorts would soon go into decline after the animation union got a 25% pay raise and a few prominent figures in the industry got blacklisted. The end result was studios closing down, and the bulk of their efforts beginning to be marketed towards children rather than adults. Doom's behavior is extreme to people primarily familiar with the aftermath of this, but before? Well, bear in mind that this was the same era in which Donald Duck nearly killed and ate Mickey Mouse, and Bugs Bunny's frequent opponents included some of the most offensive racial stereotypes set to film.

* FridgeHorror (well, more like Fridge Squick, but hey):
** The pattycake thing becomes instant {{Squick}} when you see a cartoon which features small children playing it. (Lisa Simpson has played it with a friend onscreen, among other cases.) One can only assume that either the humourously metaphorical type is just a specific variation on the game and that Toons can tell the difference, or it's just Roger and Jessica sharing a ConvenientlyCommonKink.

** As Eddie Valiant said, it was a plan so crazy only a toon could come up with it. Doom probably wasn't the most rational toon ever created.

** About the "where do Toons come from" question: ''Toons are '''not''' created by Humans''. Toons come into being when a Toon mommy and a Toon daddy love each other very much. This is explicitly stated in the books (specifically ''[[WhoCensoredRogerRabbit Who Plugged Roger Rabbit?''), and cartoon characters being a real ethnic minority instead of doodles flipping quickly through the celluloid is the entire "gimmick" of the film anyway. In any case, leaving the question untouched in the film adds to its aura of "realism".
