Hondo and I have been having an offline discussion.  Who are the crows?

                                                               Now here is the complete band pictured. As Jay asked - who are the crows ?

David

The Crows....in all the Disney forums and Disney wiki pages is considered a very racial stereotype nowadays - historically not that unusual for Disney.

The leader was Jim Crow, no big deal Downunder but a big no-no now - however not having a background in American Black history I had to look up why...ooops Disney!

For those of us who care...the Disney bible can be found here:

Jim Crow on double bass.                                                       

Glasses Crow behind the double bass. 

Straw Hat Crow on drums

Preacher Crow

Fat Crow

Who is the band pianist ? It doesn't appear to be either Preacher crow or Fat Crow. Is it just a generic crow drawn for this film, or if not, any thoughts on who it could be then?

David

Jim Crow: Tall, brown bowler hat, pink spats, cigar
Fats: Obese, open-front red vest, blue hat
Deacon: Slender, grey vest, spectacles, grey hat
Dopey: Slender, yellow hat with a hole on top, red and blue striped shirt
Specks: Short and slender, spectacles, blue sailor hat, glasses

jayn_j

I agree with the 2 on bass, but the ones on drums and piano don't seem to match Disney crows. I'm wondering if they  threw in heckle and Jeckle?

David

The crows make a cameo appearance in the film. They are seen playing the background music of Jessica Rabbit's song "Why Don't You Do Right?". Jim Crow, Deacon and Specks can also be spotted during the final scenes, hidden amongst the crowd of toons.

Heckle & Jeckle were planned to appear in Jessica Rabbit but were cut out or replaced later (along with others) either due due to legal issues and/or production limitations and/or during final production and development.

H&J are owned by 20th Century Fox...

HONDO

 According to an article I have read, it stated Heckle and Jeckle, along with some other cartoon characters didn't end up making he final cut due to contractual and time constraints. David said the same thing but was the fastest buzzer.

Special Edition DVD Cameos

Numerous characters that did not make cameos in the film made a few on the menus of the Special Edition DVD.

Note: Most can be seen in the second disc.

• Lady Tremaine from Cinderella*
• The Bread-and-Butterflies from Alice in Wonderland*
• Elliott from Pete's Dragon*
• Emperor Kuzco from The Emperor's New Groove*

(*) Denotes anachronisms; these characters (or, in the cases of characters such as Tinker Bell and Marvin the Martian, the animated versions of them that appear in the film) were created after 1947. But as screenplay writer Peter S. Seaman said, "The aim was entertainment, not animation history." It also has been argued that the characters may have "existed" in the Toon world before being "discovered" and featured in real productions.

 The crows in Dumbo in 1941.

We have had great Who Framed Roger Rabbit information and discussion, but now let me challenge you with three new images for you to name.

# 39

# 40

# 41

David

#39 Footrot Flats

Murray Ball the creator of the iconic Kiwi comic strip sadly died just a few months ago. Every Kiwi and almost every Aussie will recognise the (theme) song...the accompanying video includes scenes from the movie. It also starred Kiwi/Aussie comedic icon John Clarke as Wal Footrot, who also very sadly died just a a couple of months ago. Both of their sudden deaths squeezed a little more of my childhood/teens out of me...

HONDO

# 39 answered by David is Indeed Footrots flats  that was released in 1986.

For # 40 the image is from a particular film poster but I will also accept a completely different answer for the film as also being correct if given.

For # 41 there is an Australian daybill around for the film the image featured appeared in.

HONDO

For 40 and 41 I had originally thought someone would bring the answers back home here in no time at all, which would have been music to one's ears. 

David

#41 is from a batch Disney shorts the Donald did during the war (Japanese plane) they all would have used the stock poster but no idea the title of the film.

Donald was a very good actor, a little short tempered but the consummate professional, always on time and knew all his lines so got a lot of roles during the war, some propaganda some entertainment.

Yes David is correct in stating the image is from a Donald Duck short from the World war 11 period. I have given a clue previously so hopefully someone can come up with the answer soon.

41.  Home Defense...google is my friend.

Correct and Home Defense was released in 1943. I really don't care Ves if you or any other members use Google or anything else to come up with an answer. All I care about is receiving an answer.

Now for the remaining image # 40, a clue is that the image is also from Walt Disney.

HONDO

                                                   

# 40. This one seems to have proved too tough. I would have excepted Melody Time as well but the image was from Music Land.

Music Land ( 1955 ) was a compilation film which featured nine segments from earlier Walt Disney animated films, Make Mine Music (1946 ), Melody Time ( 1948 ) and Two For The Record ( 1954 ). The scene that was originally from Melody Time, and appeared in Music Land also, is from the Bumble Bee segment. The music was by Freddy Martin and his Orchestra and was a swing-jazz variation of Rimsky-Korsakov's  Flight Of The Bumble Bee which was one of the many pieces considered for Fantasia.

I have the 1Sht-didn't recognize the LC's. Nice lobbies & OS. 

HONDO

                                  

If anyone is thinking that an RKO Australian daybill of Music Land would be desirable, forget about it as it certainly appears the film didn't obtain a release in Australia for whatever reason.

HONDO

# 42. Name the film title.

#42.  Looks like one of the Disney 'educational' series.  Seems to be math/geometry related.  Guessed Donald in Mathamagic Land and confirmed with similar image.


Back from my week vacation to Montana to see my USAF son and ready to play.

HONDO

David's answer for 43 is correct. Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown ( And Don't Come Back! ) from 1980.

Jay's answer from 42 is also correct. It is indeed Donald In Mathmagical Land  from 1959.

It is great to have a few keen animation fans on board here.

Coming up shortly  two new images. One I would consider difficult but the other shouldn't present too much of a problem in answering.
