I know it's a disney film, so there isn't going to be any cursing. But do you think the 'toons can curse?
I think it depends on wether or not their creators want them to. For example, Baby Herman and Roger Rabbit were made for more childish cartoons, so the most they can say "Gosh diddly darn!" Or in Herman's case, "Dinky". Or Smarty when he said "Bull-Shtick", he's obviously made for the more mature genre, so his creators made it so that he can say words that very closely resemble what they mean (b*** would be birtch, f*** would be fudge, etc).
What do you think? Can 'toons curse? And if so do their creators have any influence on what they say?

That's A good question I never really took it into account and always assumed thay had complete freedom of speech but as you mentioned with Smart Guy and Baby Herman being seemingly unable to use profanity I guess it's really up to creator to decide whether his toons can swear or not I do know that in WFRR after Eddie says "nice monkey suit" to Bongo the security gorilla at the ink and paint club Bongo calls him A "wise ass" and flips him the bird

Flipping Eddie the bird? I thought he was flexing his arm?
I figured that if 'toons come from animators and dont work on the same level of humans, to me, it would make sense that they can only curse if their creator willed it.
Hey, since we're on the subject, I had a thought that maybe Acme somehow made these 'Censor Pills' for the 'toons, and these are the only way they could actually curse like us, except it comes out as *BEEP*, and if they do any inappropriate hand gestures like the bird, their hand gets the black block of censorship. If they take too many then the 'toons' entire body becomes censored and everything they say comes out as *BEEP* no matter what they're doing.
This was just a funny thought to me!
