jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2006/08/31/5534.aspxThis is one of those early scripts of WFRR... I suppose some of you might have already seen this, but I haven't yet 0.0 I knew there were Acme's funeral scene in early script, but I haven't seen detailed script like this, and it's even connected with the pighead scene. It describes brief moment in patrol car when Eddy is being dragged to TT (looks like it's SA that asks Eddy how he likes it, and Wheez driving), and afterward Eddy rides redcar with that head on... interesting.

I tried to load up the page, but there was a problem. I know what you mean. I would like to know what happened during the scene when the weasels have been in the sewer, or even in those scenes, when they showed Eddie and Roger. I would say I would like to see the whole film from the site of the weasels.  |

Okay, finally got around to reading this. I would've responded sooner, but I've been really busy...
Well, I can see that my theory that toons were in a similar situation to black people is agreed upon by the folks at Disney themselves- so I feel that my stories about toons being directly involved in speaking against McCarthy, the Beat Generation, supporting racial integration and the Civil Rights Movement, the hippie movement, and bringing about a social revolution in which toons demand to be treated as equals and participate in social gatherings like clubs and concerts with like-minded humans is entirely justified.
I feel that since toons inherently break social rules- much like the Marx Bros. and other classic live action comedians- they would more often than not lean towards the political left. Toons got more conservative in the '50s, though... at least when it came to new characters and new material starring characters that had already been around. Toons that didn't really make it into the '50s, I imagine, stayed pretty much the same.

Due to the lack of my knowledge and detailed thoughts about toons being involved in political situations, I can't really respond with other interesting theory. I feel most long living iconic characters sort of change through time. Basic personality will stay, but the situation they face and their reaction ,etc...

Oh yes, toons can change over time, but when they're working regularly, I think it's largely due to the whims of the artists around them. I think when a toon isn't surrounded by people who have ideas as to what they're supposed to do, they have more freedom to change by their own free will.
Toons, I think, can choose to live a non-professional life, and can thrive so long as they have people to laugh at them.
As for political positions, think of it this way: Mickey Mouse would likely be Republican, whereas I think Bugs Bunny would more likely be a Democrat.
