Watch Tummy Trouble For Free

So much average

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Tummy Trouble follows the misadventures of Roger Rabbit (voiced by Charles Fleischer), who is placed in charge of watching Baby Herman when his mother needs to run errands. Herman instantly throws a temper tantrum that results in Roger panicking, even more-so when Herman winds up accidentally swallowing his favorite rattle. In an effort to restore sanity to Herman's home, he must comfort Herman's stomach pain, control his incessant wailing, and restore order to their home, which rapidly descends into array. Also in the picture is a doctor, who tries to help the situation, but only winds up creating a dangerous playground upon which Roger and Herman wreak havoc. The result is chaotic and reckless as can be.The Roger Rabbit short films possess similar qualities as Tom & Jerry shorts and the Looney Tunes bits that focus on Sylvester the Cat painstakingly trying to outwit Tweety Bird. The result is a brash and hectic parade of visual gags for seven minutes before a fourth-wall breaking sequence at the tail-end of the short. Tummy Trouble showcases this brand of fast-paced, blink-and-you-miss-it humor done right, with enough emphasis on the limitless boundaries of animation to make this a favorable entry in the genre. The beauty of animation is such ridiculousness like what is shown in this short can be conceived so shamelessly, and through a loving blend of chaos and a smoothly introduced (and flawlessly executed) live-action sequence, there's little not to love here.Voiced by: Charles Fleischer, Lou Hirsch, and Kathleen Turner. Directed by: Rob Minkoff and Frank Marshall.

"Tummy Trouble" is a Roger Rabbit 8-minute short film from over 25 years ago, the first one actually I believe. Unfortunately, this one does not even come close to Bugs Bunny's finest short films. This one here is much more crass and in your face, but it also does forget to be actually funny while being very loud. This is the first directorial effort from Rob Minkoff ("The Lion King", "Stuart Little") and it's safe to say that he stepped up his game a lot as his career progressed. Not even the inclusion of Droopy or the fact that Walt Disney worked on this short film here as well could make it a good watch. It was obviously a very prestigious project, but the outcome is just disappointing. The mix of live action and animation (the big strength of Roger Rabbit) was only included very briefly at the end and was still by far the best thing about this movie. Everything before it pretty much sucked. Not recommended. Also, how do 6 writers work on a film that does not even run for 8 minutes. Classic example of too many cooks spoiling the broth.

PERHAPS IT WAS done to see if we could bear witness to a sort of Renaissance of the Theatrical Cartoon Short, or maybe it was just made in order to ca$h in on the popularity of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?. In either case, we're happy that the short and subsequent cartoons were produced.SOME HAVE EXPRESSED disappointment at the ROGER RABBIT/BABY HERMAN Cartoons by stating that they were not like the ROGER RABBIT feature film. To them we must remind them that the cartoons are not on the same level budgetarily or otherwise. The cartoons are just that, cartoons. They exist in order to give a little variety to the program.BEYOND THE REALM of being a warm-up and laugh getter for the movie audience, we must realize that there is yet another dimension to these latter-day animations. In addition to the usual aspects of a cartoon's having funny characters, snappy hip dialogue, over the top sight gags and a lively soundtrack featuring both appropriately chosen music and befitting sound effects; we have yet another complex element here.WE MUST KEEP in mind that for whatever reason they were made, their genesis was steeped in satire and parody. Whereas the ROGER RABBIT Feature was (among other things) a satire of the Hollywood and indeed the whole American scene, the resulting shorts were driven by their need and purpose of parodying the work of icons of the animation art such as: Walt Disney, Chuck Jones, Ub Iwerks, Tex Avery, Fritz Freleng, Bob Clampett, etc., etc., etc........AS FOR OUR opinion, both Schultz and myself highly approve and wish that the series would continue.

Man oh man, this is just one of those classic toons that just can't be explained. Along with Bug's Bunny's "Rabbit Fire" and Tex Avery's "Swing Shift Cinderella" this is just a classic!!! All the jokes are hilarious!!! When Roger is dancing and his fluffy little cotton tail is grabbed by the male nurse. And then when they pass through all the doors which have words that all end in Ology until it gets to Burbank. Then, "ANISTETIC" and then a mallet to the head. All of them are just classic well done jokes, it's a must see for any Looney Tune, Tex Avery, Tom & Jerry and Roger Rabbit fan!!! A big TEN from the Rizz man!!!
