The hiilarious character from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" returns in thre short cartoons wich has basically the same plot; Baby Herman getting into trouble and Roger must save him. But who's gonna save Roger?

Tummy Trouble (1989, Origanlly shown togetter with "Honey, I shrunk The kids!")
When Baby Herman swallows his rattle, he's taken to the hospital and along with a huge burp it comes out. But then Roger swallows the rattle and the doctor takes him to the surgery. Just as the doctor is about to cut him open with a chainsaw the lunch whistle goes off. [...].

Roller Coaster Rabbit (1990/89 Orginally Shown togetter with "Dick Tracy)
The movie starts with Baby Herman going after his precious baloon and Roger tries to follow while beign hit by darts, shot full of holes and runs into trouble with an angry bull who throws Roger and the baby on a dangerous roller coaster ride.

Trail Mix-up (1990 Shown togetter with ?)
Roger and Baby Herman explores the great pleasure of beign out doors, but when the baby runs away once igain, this time after a beaver, and Roger must rescue him from the dangers of bees, falling trees and a sawmill. [...]'

I highly recommend this video, it's very hard to find today, so thank goodness for Amazon.com for putting this item back on sale. I enjoyed all the three cartoons. It's a shame they don't make more of these cartoons anymore, cause a guy like Roger deserves his own TV series. executive producer Steven Speilberg also makes a funny reference to his famous "Jaws" in "Trail Mix-up"

These three episodes are absolutely fabulous. The content and production values are not excelled anywhere. Great for ages 2 to 100. Some material is "edgy", but even a media-conservative parent like myself finds it quite tasteful.

This is better than "Oswald The Lucky Bunny" (Wich Walt Disney STOLE for the design for Mickey!). It is just simple slapstick but that is all you really need in a Roger Rabbit cartoon. In the third cartoon is where the problems started, a five second spoof of Jaws caused Disney to stop creating those shorts. In all the cartoons, if you have a good VCR you will find several hidden images

Tummy Trouble
1) Atomic Hair Splitter says made in germany

2) Roger falling through ceiling - cut-outs change

3) Roger coliding with old lady - Old lady beats up Roger

Roller Coaster Rabbit

Couldn't find any

Trail Mix-up
1) Roger spitting out bees - Bees look like certain Disney characters

2) Roger on log Flume - Sign on back of log "We visited splash mountain"

3) Roger on log Flume - Wanted poster

4)Roger hurled into Mt. Rushmore - Reflection on Roger's eyes

The funniest cartoon rabbit since Bugs Bunny is back in his own short cartoons; Tummy Trouble, Roller Coaster Rabbit and Trail Mix-up. All three has a lot of funny moments with Roger getting in to trouble as he tries to save Baby Herman. My brother excplained to me that this movie was very difficult to find. So you better buy it quik before it goes out of sale igain.
The cartoon Tummy Trouble was orginally showed togetter with "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids".

This three-toon set was issued in 1996 and was off the shelves almost before it landed there. As a Roger Rabbit fan, I missed the short-lived offer - they were gone when I checked the stores, so I bought mine used on an auction site. You are in the right place to buy your copy - you can get them now via Amazon's seller program. Yay!

My understanding is that Disney was getting flack in 1996 for these toons - for being "non-Disney" and too adult. Don't worry - who could not love Roger Rabbit and his lovely wife Jessica? Adults will laugh - but they are funny for everyone and nothing to blush over - much!

These are really great toons and worth looking for.

This viedo is the best christmas present I have ever gotten! I am ironically a babysitter and I take the video with me and show it to all the brats I watch. One Dutch girl I babysit watches it every time I come over. She can't speak a word of englsh, yet she still laughs histarcally every time the roller coaster fall apart and Roger's feet burn up from the friction of the Coaster Tracks!
