| Roger Rabbit Shorts | comment |
Following the smashing success of the 1988 fantasy / comedy film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Disney, Spielberg, and Robert Zemeckis saw an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone: promote the new Disneyland attraction Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin on the one hand, and revive the great tradition of animated theatrical shorts (dead since the nineteen-sixties) that ran before the feature film, where the trailers are today, on the other. So they produced a series of three partly live-action, mostly animated short films starring the Toon characters from the feature.All three shorts follow the pattern set by Something's Cookin' (the film within the original film) and, supposedly, what the titular lagomorph's big-screen escapades were generally like in the world of the movie. In each one, Roger is trusted to babysit Baby Herman by his imposing mother, who threatens Roger with some outrageous punishment should anything happen to her little darling. Inevitably, Baby Herman gets away from his caretaker and innocently puts himself in grievous harm's way, prompting Roger to leap to the rescue and get badly battered in the process. At the end, Roger will ruin the take in some amusing way (such as setting his feet on fire or accidentally deflating the planet), infuriating the live-action human director and stage crew.It's Disney animation with Tex Avery style gags. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Roger Rabbit Shorts / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Tummy Trouble ends with Roger and Jessica heading home to play "pattycake." An early scene in Trail Mix-Up has a cookie jar slide off a fridge, which was the whole basis for the "Something's Cooking" short at the beginning of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In the same cartoon, Raoul J. Raoul, the director of the same short, is listed as the governor of South Dakota on a welcome sign at the end. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| Roger Rabbit Shorts / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: During the Hospital Gurney Scene in Tummy Trouble, the gurney passes through an endless series of doors, each marked with a different -ology. The doors go faster and faster so that you have to pause to be able to read them all. The last one reads "Burbank". As the roller coaster in Roller Coaster Rabbit first goes down, you can see Atlanta burning. When the coaster goes through its second dip, the tracks read "Jeepers". When Roger spits out bees in Trail Mix-Up, one of the bees has Mickey Mouse's face, while another turns out to be Tinker Bell, a third is Evinrude the dragonfly, and a fourth is the Genie. As Roger and Baby Herman head for the flume, Herman's pupils have Mickey Mouse's head for two frames, while Roger's have skulls. As the log exits the flume, it suddenly has a "We Visited Splash Mountain" bumper sticker on the back. | |

Throw the Dog a Bone: Most of the shorts end with Roger screwing the production up, wrecking the movie and infuriating the director. However, the production of "Tummy Trouble" goes smoothly for him. The worst thing he does is accidentally knock over a table before Jessica proposes they go home and play pattycake. | |

Getting the Baby to Sleep | |
| Roger Rabbit Shorts / int_9b244dd4 | comment |
Getting the Baby to Sleep: In two of the shorts, Roger trying to get Baby Herman to stop crying sets the plot in motion. In "Tummy Trouble", it's giving him a rattle, which Herman swallows, leading to the two going to the hospital. In "Roller Coaster Rabbit", Roger goes to get a balloon for Herman after the one he had flew away, and Herman wanders off in the meantime. | |

Over-the-Top Roller Coaster: The short "Roller Coaster Rabbit" has Roger and Baby Herman riding a roller coaster whose first drop is so high the entire globe is visible below. It then has a lot of insane turns and loops, and seems to last twice as long as the average roller coaster ride. | |

Writing Around Trademarks | |
| Roger Rabbit Shorts / int_d4c98786 | comment |
Writing Around Trademarks: The "Acme Suck-O-Lux" vacuum cleaner from the movie reappears in Trail Mix-Up- but since Disney had to license the name Acme from Warner Bros. for the movie, and didn't do so for the shorts, the name is changed to "Su-Me". | |

Mama Bear | |
| Roger Rabbit Shorts / int_e13156e1 | comment |
Mama Bear: Mrs. Herman repeatedly threatens to destroy Roger if he ever lets anything happen to Baby Herman, but this gets subverted in that she keeps leaving her child in Roger's care despite how often he screws up. | |

No Ending: Roller Coaster Rabbit ends with Roger messing up the scene and being scolded by his director. Trail Mix-Up ends with Roger messing up the scene and destroying the planet. Tummy Trouble, on the other hand, ran smoothly and ended quite well. | |

Groin Attack: Baby Herman inadvertently does this to a grazing bull in "Roller Coaster Rabbit". In an attempt to get his balloon from between the bull's hind legs, Herman accidentally grabs the bull's testicles instead. This causes the bull to snap in anger, pummeling a pleading Roger. | |

Entertainment Above Their Age | |
| Roger Rabbit Shorts / int_f76eaaff | comment |
Entertainment Above Their Age: While Baby Herman himself is an adult despite his babyish appearance, his character within these shorts is an actual baby. In "Roller Coaster Rabbit", after Herman has wandered off, Roger digs through his carriage and finds a magazine with a centerfold of Jessica Rabbit. | |

Low Clearance: On the short "Roller Coaster Rabbit", Roger narrowly avoids a sign on the coaster warning people "Don't Stand Up", but he doesn't miss the next one, which reads "We Mean It!" | |
