In honor of the 30th anniversary of the groundbreaking, blockbuster Disney classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Ruthie and Chris bring you through a wacky world where toons and humans live together. This film was a true homage to the classic film noir genre, set in 1947 post-World War II Hollywood, yet simultaneously presented audiences with a true love letter to the golden age of animation.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit would also be the first and last time practically all of the popular cartoon characters from ALL of the major Hollywood studios would unite on screen. This cinematic masterpiece set in motion a resurgence of Walt Disney’s name as a respected leader in innovative and imaginative filmmaking not seen since the 1960s. It also served as the rebirth of animation as a beloved film medium, a period that would soon be known as the Disney Renaissance.

Discover the origins of the Toontown universe. Learn the behind-the-scenes secrets that went into the making of this hand-drawn, hand-inked, hand-painted, 100% computer-free practical-effect-heavy extravaganza of motion picture artistry. Get reacquainted with the on-screen performers and off-screen vocal cast of unforgettable characters. Meet the talented directors, producers, writers, and animation artists who defied all odds in creating this Academy Award winning film that most believed couldn’t be done.

Th-Th-Th-Th That’s All Folks!!!

Chris Lyndon
Chris Lyndon grew up in Southern California, near Disneyland. He formed a lifelong fascination with all things Disney from a very early age, especially Disney music, and has studied the history of the Walt Disney organization for decades. His very first summer job was at Disneyland at age 16, and he also worked at the Florida parks during his college years as part of the Walt Disney World College Internship Program. His lifelong passion for Disney music has evolved into his website, DisneyChris.com. All manner of Disney music can be enjoyed there including the Disney Song of the Day, but the main focus is audio from the original Disneyland theme park in a collection he calls the "Disneyland Magical Audio Tour," with over 1650 audio tracks, full color imagery and historical information for every track posted. Chris also provided archival Disneyland audio for the September 2015 PBS Walt Disney American Experience documentary. In December 2015 he began his very own weekly podcast covering all things Disney, called "Jiminy Crickets!" Since then the show has evolved into two podcasts and he shares the stage with his amazing co-host Ruthie Brown. Currently, the original "Jiminy Crickets!" is a monthly show, presenting various Disney topics of historical significance, and there is also a new bi-weekly Disney news program called "Dateline Jiminy Crickets," which is a audio/visual program presented on the DisneyChrisDotCom YouTube Channel.
