We need to talk about Jessica Rabbit. Why? Because Who Framed Roger Rabbit is an amazing movie and because Jessica is the most underrated character in the world and itās tragically ironic, especially when you consider what her character is supposed to represent.
Itās no secret that Jessica is sexy. Her bust-waist-leg proportions are worse than Barbieās! But thatās the point. Jessica was supposed to be proof that some animators completely exaggerated certain body parts when drawing cartoon women.
But as the movie goes on, Jessica actually shows the struggle that she has to face. āYou donāt know how hard it is being a woman looking the way I do.ā I mean, Jessica has to stow weapons in her bra due to the amount of times that guys have tried to fondle her. She was forced to dance, sing, and play patty-cake with Acme. People always reblog her quote, āIām not bad. Iām just drawn that way.ā But very few people seem to know what that means. Jessica was drawn, most likely by a sexist man, to be sexy and act naughty.
But hereās the best part: Jessica doesnāt want any of that. She just wants to be with her husband, Roger. Roger. Out of every Toon in Toontown, Jessica falls in love with Roger. Why? Because he makes her laugh. Because whereas everyone else saw her as being a sex symbol, he saw her for her personality. He unconditionally loved her and she unconditionally loved him. And she was ready to do anything for him. She danced, she sang, she played patty-cake, all because they threatened to kill him. Long story short, sheās an amazing character because she has a great personality, undying love for her husband, and the ability to fight when the time comes. (She used a fryign pan to bash a Toonās head in long before Rapunzel!) She is, in short, amazing.
And do you know what the ironic part is? Go into the Jessica Rabbit tag. Ā¾ of the tag is explicit drawings and photoshops. Most people donāt respect her character and instead see her as simply a sex symbol ā¦ which is completely ironic because her entire plotline was about how nobody respected her and saw her as a sex symbol! Even though she was so much more than that! Do you see where Iām going with this? (Hello Nurse has the same problem but thatās a post for another day.)
