Who Framed Roger Rabbit: 13 Easter Eggs & References You Probably Missed
7. Bre’r Baer
The Toontown alleyway where Jessica shoots at Judge Doom and Eddie’s Dum-Dum bullets go “thataway” the wrong way is replete with gag advertisements.
You can’t miss the in-your-face handbill for “Porky’s All Beef Sausage” but there’s also a briefly glimpsed poster for "Toby's Turtle Soup" featuring Disney's Toby Tortoise from The Tortoise and the Hare (1935) and Toby Tortoise Returns (1936), and one for "Gregory and his Rubber Band," likely a reference to production assistant and animator and musician, Gregory Hinde.
Finally, there's an easily missed poster for a character named “Bre’r Baer” which reads "He’s not too hard, not too soft, he’s juuust right!" The caricature is almost certainly of the late Dale L. Baer, who was the Supervising Animator with his then-wife, Coordinating Animator Jane Baer, at the L.A. animation unit.
