Remember the weasels when they laughed themselves to death? Their ghosts flew out of their bodies. But one got kicked into the vat of Dip instead, and no ghost came out. His SOUL was destroyed.
* This is because toons can, and do, reincarnate as themselves.
* It makes sense that phantom toons would still be ink and paint, and therefore weak to the Dip. Not even {{Casper}} was safe.

** This troper just watched the film, thanks to troping it last night, and I can't be sure but it looks like Greasy's soul continuing on. A bit hard to tell since Smart Ass and Greasy both wore very similar attire with differing colors, but Greasy's location directly under Psycho makes more sense, compared to Smart Ass being kicked into the giant vat behind the both of them in the machine. The soul even has the same-esque expression in both shots.

Toons.



[[WMG: Dip is no more than turpentine and paint thinner.]]
It melts the paint and cellulose that Toons are made of. If a Toon had been subject to [[KillItWithFire real fire]], the same thing would have happened, but with a lot of blistering and burning. Toons aren't indestructible; the people in the movie's universe are just that uncreative (the Toons' creators had to steal ideas from another dimension, for [[ChuckJones Chuck]]'s sake!).
* This is canon. One of the cops at the crime scene where Acme's murder took place explains to Eddie that Dip is made of acetone, turpentine, and benzene.



* CGI-lings (aka People of Data): The result of the unthinkable -- sex between humans and Toons.

\n[[WMG: Jessica Rabbit is related * I reckon all Toons can change what they're wearing, but it's like extreme special effects makeup - it has to [[ThePowerpuffGirls Mrs. Bellum]] be painted on and [[TexAvery Red Hot Riding Hood]].]]
it's a lot of effort, so most of them don't bother unless they need to do it for the animation. When just wandering around, they stick with a standardised outfit.



It starts with a toon couple playing pattycake, or doing whatever their sex equivalent is. As the toons play, a sliver of sound makes its way into the sky, onto some sort of floating cloud like feature, where some baby delivering storks live (like in the {{Dumbo}} movie). While humans and most creatures are incapable of hearing the sounds, the storks can, and occasionally, one of them will be inspired by the sound, and start to draw a new cartoon. The qualities of the sound floating up depend on the toon couple in question, and also influence how the stork draws. Once the drawing is complete, with a fully formed body and partially formed personality, the stork delivers the new toon baby to the "mother" toon in the original couple. And thus, a new toon enters the world.

In the beginning, there were human humans and hand-drawn-looking Toons, and [[RudyardKipling never the twain did meet]]. But then one day, someone got curious, and [[HalfHumanHybrid the result]] was something oddly in-between - a CGI Toon. As this has become more common (and social attitudes have become more egalitarian), it's got to the stage where CGI toons can get cast as stuntmen and props alongside humman actors without people batting an eyelid - and now they're even [[SerkisFolk taking starring roles]]. In fact, Hollywood may be approaching an extended [[Blaxploitation CGI-spolitation]] period. In 30 years' time, ToyStory may well be viewed as this generation's {{Shaft}}.

They're basically living viruses of toon town, eating away at everything until there is nothing but paint. And unless one is ignored they grow until all is destoryed and they are the only ones left.

** [[FlatWhat What!?]] First of all Anime wasn't all that common in the 40's, the most Japan had animated where WWII propaganda films. So if there where toons in Japan the government clearly didn't have much interest in them and wouldn't waste time with it (besides they did have a "war" going on.) Second; post WWII Japan got many American imports one of which where films, and many animators (or directors in this world) where "inspired" by many western toon (SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs, OswaldTheLuckyRabbit, ect.) and later incorperated some of that style in the 60's. So by that anime characters would look up to toons as idols, and wouldn't dream of killing them because without them they probablly wouldn't have gotten that far... or exist... or somthing.
