Eddie Valiant | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Eddie Valiant is a Californian private investigator and the protagonist of Disney / Touchstone 's 1988 hybrid film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit . Contents Background Development In Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, Eddie is a fictional Californian private detective hired by comic-book star Roger Rabbit to investigate the workings of Roger's corrupt employers, the DeGreasey Brothers. When Roger is found dead, and his final words having been censored out, Eddie is soon sent on the case of tracking Roger's murderers. This first incarnation of Eddie is a heavy smoker, has a beard and is active when the book is set ( 1981 ), rather than the later, more accepted incarnation of the character. The 1988 film gave more insight into the character of Eddie, who was played by Bob Hoskins . He also does not smoke but is an alcoholic. He does not like Toons since Teddy was killed by one years ago. Before Bob Hoskins was cast, many A-list actors were up for the role including Eddie Murphy and Harrison Ford who was Spielberg's choice but demanded too high a price.

Bill Murray was also in consideration for the role, but ended up not having the opportunity to participate. This regret would lead him to participate in another animation/live-action hybrid film: Warner Brothers' Space Jam. Personality Eddie has a hard-boiled disposition, coming across as stubborn and cynical. He initially harbors a general distaste for Toons , since his brother, Teddy, was killed by one; since his death, Eddie stopped taking cases for Toons and began drinking heavily. Despite this, he retains his street smarts as well as his knowledge of Toon rules and culture. Prior to Teddy's death, both brothers were (as shown in pictures) to be extremely fun-loving, and would do anything for a laugh. They were the only known humans who could ever out-funny a Toon. Underneath his gruff exterior, Eddie proves to be a loyal comrade (aiding Roger in his time of need despite his own reservations), and harbors a soft spot for his girlfriend, Dolores . By the film's end, he gives up drinking, is finally at peace with Teddy's death when he defeats the evil Judge Doom , and has reconciled with the Toons.

Biography Eddie and his brother, Teddy, were sons of a Barnum and Bailey circus clown (shown by the pictures on their desk in the film), who joined the police force; they graduated from the LAPD in 1925. They eventually started their own private investigation service, Valiant & Valiant , in 1934 , working largely on Toon cases such as the kidnapping of Donald Duck 's nephews in 1937 , and clearing Goofy of accusations of espionage in 1940 (both seen as newspaper clippings in Eddie's office). However, during another investigation in the early 1940s, he and Teddy were chasing the unknown Toon form of Judge Doom who was robbing the First National Bank of Toontown (the home of all the Toons), during the chase, Doom dropped a large grand piano on them from 15 stories up, Eddie survived, only with a broken arm, but Teddy was killed. After his death, Eddie showed a great dislike for Toons, turned to the bottle, and disappeared from the public eye. Since turning to alcohol, Eddie became a subject of ridicule among the police force.

Appearances Who Framed Roger Rabbit In 1947, R.K. Maroon of Maroon Cartoons paid Eddie $100 to photograph Jessica Rabbit , Roger Rabbit 's wife, quite literally "playing pattycake" with Marvin Acme , owner of Toontown and founder of the Acme Corporation . When Acme is murdered and Roger becomes the prime suspect of the case, Eddie teams up with Roger to find the killer, and, after a long search, he finds not only Acme's murderer, but the murderer of R.K. Maroon, and his own brother who turns out to be Judge Doom who is a Toon wearing a human mask, attempting to destroy all of Toontown to make a freeway for him to profit retirement from. After defeating Doom and the Toon Patrol at Acme Warehouse, Eddie makes peace with Toons, avenging the death of Teddy at the hands of Doom and walks home with Roger, Jessica, and Dolores . In the graphic novel of the film published in 1989 by Marvel Comics , Eddie is the narrator of the story, telling the film through his eyes and in the style of a detective story.

Roger Rabbit: The Resurrection of Doom According to Roger Rabbit: The Resurrection of Doom, Eddie has given up drinking, but now tends to consume jellybeans quite a bit. In the non-canon sub-sequel set after the film, Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?, Eddie is adamant to no longer take any Toon cases but is forced to do so when Baby Herman , Roger Rabbit's costar, is found dead. Disney Parks Eddie made what is probably his first appearance at a Disney park as a costume character in 2013 during the Disneyland Paris portion of the Disney Dreamers Everywhere events. In the Walt Disney's World on Ice: 10th Anniversary show, Eddie makes an appearance in a scene where Roger brings Scrooge McDuck to meet him. They try to tell jokes to Scrooge to cheer him up. Gallery The Disney Wiki has a collection of images and media related to Eddie Valiant . Trivia Eddie's hard-boiled attitude seems to derive from Dick Tracy or other such detectives. In the 1988 film, he was made to portray the film noir detective character usually found in Humphrey Bogart or Alan Ladd , while maintaining the Dick Tracy attitude.

Although little or nothing is heard about the methods employed by Teddy, the items on his side of the desk in shots of the Valiant & Valiant office suggest that he was based more on Sherlock Holmes , judging by the tobacco pipe and magnifying glass on his desk. Eddie looks like a composite of Peter Falk of the TV series Columbo and film private eye Philip Marlowe , wearing a shiny brown suit and beat-up fedora above a craggy face. Eddie's character is somewhat different in the movie. Rather than being a smoker, he is an alcoholic and having no facial hair whereas, in the novel, he has a beard. It should be noted that Bob Hoskins is British and has a Cockney accent, and Eddie was raised in California. In early screen tests for the film, Disney veteran Pete Renaday portrayed Eddie. Judge Doom | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia “I'll catch the rabbit, Mr. Valiant, and I'll try him, convict him, and execute him.” ―Judge Doom Judge Doom, formerly known as Baron Von Rotten, is the main antagonist in Touchstone 's 1988 hybrid film Who Framed Roger Rabbit .

Contents [ show ] Background Doom is the much-feared Judge of Toontown . Despite presiding over a city of Toons , he is totally without mirth and passes capital punishment on Toons who break the law, placing them in a chemical vat of turpentine, acetone and benzene (essentially oil, paint thinner and film dissolver) which he calls "the Dip ". This concoction melts Toons, permanently killing them. He wears gloves supposedly to avoid the mess (but as it is soon revealed, it is actually to prevent himself from melting). He employs Toon henchmen (the Toon Patrol ) to assist him in hunting down Roger Rabbit for the murder of Marvin Acme , whom he framed for the act he did himself. Personality Doom displayed two very different personalities in the film, both equally menacing to his enemies. Human Doom is a calm and reserved man without mercy and brutally executes those who he perceives as guilty or stand in his way. He is also cruel to the Toon Patrol and mainly abuses them with his cane although he only hits two members.

First, he hits Smarty round the head with his cane after he continued laughing and then he hit Greasy round the head after his hand was caught in a hunting trap. He has the ambition to erase Toontown in order to create a freeway due to its profit and potential benefits; buying and then dismantling the " Red Car Trolly " to avoid competition and taking money from his theft at the bank to launch the project. He also proves to exhibit a cunning personality, as he lures Roger out of hiding with the "shave and a haircut" trick. He has a Hitler complex which he tries to deny to the extent of disguising himself as a human to try to rid the world of Toons, despite being one himself.

However, when he is being run over, he acts like a Toon (screaming incomprehensible noises in fear) and does not deny it once the jig is up, but when called a Toon, he replies "not just any Toon..."[sic] Toon After Doom re-inflates himself with a helium tank, he reveals himself as the killer of Eddie's brother, Teddy, telling him why he should not remember his eyes, but his voice (which grows higher until it reaches a horrifyingly high pitch) and his eyes turn to daggers to show Doom's intent to kill Eddie. Though he doesn't talk again until his demise, he pursues Eddie when he tries to run away, reactivates the cannon to melt Roger and Jessica Rabbit once he was pushed to the ground, punching Eddie with an anvil, turns it into an buzz saw, slices through some hanging chains to demonstrate how lethal it was, and slowly strides towards Eddie with swirling eyes and a wide grin. All these traits show that he was a deranged and sadistic psychopath who enjoys making his victims watch as their friends die and loves to kill them slowly in the most agonizing way.

He does have a fear of death, as he instantly panicked as soon as the Dip hit him and screamed as he melted. Powers and Abilities In his flesh-and-blood guise, Doom uses his skull-headed swordstick and Acme products to fight Eddie, and overpower him with surprising strength. While in his Toon form, he has evil red eyes and a squeaky voice and is able to produce an arsenal of tools from his body which he can employ as weapons, including an anvil and buzz saw. He uses springs in his feet to jump far distances, and (like most Toons) can survive anything but his own Dip, which melts him to his death. Appearances Who Framed Roger Rabbit When the film first introduces Doom, Lt. Santino confides to Eddie that Doom bought the election. Later, at the Terminal Bar, Doom uses the "shave and a haircut" trick to lure Roger out, then prepares to execute him. After a brief scuffle inside the bar, he orders the weasels to capture Roger and Eddie. Roger realizes he's in trouble with Doom after him and begs Eddie to hide him. When Eddie learns that studio head R.K.

Maroon is connected to the plot to frame Roger, Eddie interrogates him, but Maroon pleads that he is "a dead man" if he confesses. Just as Maroon is about to spill everything, he is killed by an unseen gunman who nearly shoots Eddie as well. Upon chasing the killer to Toontown, Eddie catches Jessica, thinking she's the murderer, but Jessica reveals that Doom was the one who killed Acme and Maroon. At the film's climax, he traps Eddie, Roger and Jessica in the Acme Factory to explain his scheme: erase Toontown from the map using a giant, mobile vat of Dip linked to a high-pressure water cannon and then build a freeway over it. He then plans to retire from being a judge and control all the profits from the new road system. Doom also reveals that he is the sole stockholder of Cloverleaf Industries and explains that he bought the "Red Car Trolley" (the Pacific Electric Railway) for the sole purpose of putting it out of commission. He then orders Roger and Jessica to be tied up and raised into the air via a skyhook to be sprayed by the Dip cannon.

Eddie distracts the Toon Patrol using hilarious antics (partly while singing The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down to the accompaniment of a music machine playing the tune) to make them literally laugh themselves to death, then attempts to rescue Roger and Jessica when he is interrupted by Doom. The two men then square off, dueling with various ACME props. During the fight, Doom is run over by a steamroller, but he does not die as expected. As the steamroller crushes him, Doom's body is flattened into a flimsy paper-thin shape, revealing himself to be a Toon wearing an assortment of fake, but live, props, such as fake eyeballs, false teeth, and a rubber mask in order to disguise his Toon body. After he reinflates himself with an oxygen tank, he shows his red Toon eyes and talks in a high squeaky voice and Eddie recognizes him as the bank robber in Toontown long ago who murdered his brother, Teddy, thus triggering his hatred towards Toons and explaining how Doom managed to buy the judicial election and the trolley car company.

Being a Toon, Doom turns out to be capable of sprouting an anvil and an extendable buzz saw from his hand, with which he attempts to kill Eddie. In the end, Eddie proves to be too clever, using his own concoction to melt him, leaving behind his human disguise. He melts away screaming "I'm melting! Melting!" before he dies. A crowd of various Toons then surround his burned empty suit and melted face and wonder what kind of Toon he was. It hasn't been revealed what type of Toon he was or if he was one specific type of Toon at all, but the Toons seem to agree that they don't need to know. Printed media The Resurrection of Doom Baron Von Rotten as seen in The Resurrection of Doom In the graphic novel Roger Rabbit: The Resurrection of Doom, it is explained that Doom was originally a Toon named Baron von Rotten, who took up the role of playing antagonists in movies, until an accident in which Von Rotten suffered a concussion and awakened believing that he was a real villain.

Von Rotten thus begins his crime career, robbing the First National Bank of Toontown, then killing Teddy Valiant by dropping a large piano on his head and spreading the stolen money all over the town in order to buy the election for Judge of Toontown, assuming the new name of Judge Doom. After the events of the film, Doom was later revived by another gang of weasels (brothers of the Toon Patrol) who used an old cell and a multiplane camera to bring him back to life, proving that it is possible to revive a Toon. He disguises himself as a director, forcing Roger to purposely tone down his acting in hopes of ruining his career and has other designs in mind for his revenge. Kingdom Keepers Doom appears in the seventh book, The Insider, in which the Keepers go to Disneyland. Doom's appearance is due to the Toontown area of the park, which is not present anymore in Walt Disney World. He is thought to have originated from Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin , though it is also pointed out that he was originally to be part of the nearby Mickey and the Magical Map with other villains before being cut in favor of another plot.

During the battle between the Keepers and the Overtakers in Toontown, Doom took Willa hostage and threatened to slit her throat to keep the Keepers at bay. However, Jess and Wayne worked to free her, at the cost of Wayne's own life. Amanda released a powerful telekinetic blast, which threw the Overtakers out of Toontown. Doom returned after Tia Dalma created an earthquake. However, Amanda's attack left him with a dislocated jaw and a leg mangled so badly it was compared to the shape of the number 3. His job was to operate a crane to put the Partners statue on top of the Matterhorn to attract lightning to ignite the natural gas released by the earthquake. Fortunately, Maybeck and Charlene's teamwork resulting in lightning striking the crane. All that could be said about his fate was "Inside that sludge is the Judge - Doomed." Gallery The Disney Wiki has a collection of images and media related to Judge Doom . Trivia Doom appears to bear some resemblance to Roland Freisler, the notorious Nazi figure who was also a ruthless judge.

Doom's death is an allusion to the Wicked Witch of the West 's death in MGM's The Wizard of Oz , as they both melt while shouting, "I'm melting! Melting!". In addition, both have weaknesses to liquid. The Witch's demise comes from water while Judge Doom's demise is the Dip. The character was originally going to have an animated pet vulture named Voltaire (after the French philosopher) that sat on his shoulder, but that idea was dropped in the interest of saving time. However, the vulture later resurfaced with Doom when a bendable action figure was produced. Doom originally had seven weasels accompanying him, rather like the Seven Dwarfs, but he ultimately ended up only having five. He was also to have a jury of kangaroos, as in "Kangaroo Court." These elements were all dropped because animating these extra characters would be too costly. In a deleted scene, when Doom attempts to dip Roger at the bar, the patrons protest that Roger should at least have a proper trial.

The judge agrees, then pulls out a suitcase from which jumps a group of kangaroos that hold out signs reading "Y-O-U A-R-E G-U-I-L-T-Y" (a literal Kangaroo Court, in other words). Originally, Doom was going to dip a toon gopher instead of the cartoon shoe seen in the film. It is believed by a large group of spectators that Judge Doom is also the Toon who robbed the 1st National Bank of Toontown. This is never told is the film: they only say that it's a day they were searching the guilty party for a rob in this bank that Eddie and Teddy met Doom for the first time and that Doom killed Teddy. Also, they think that the money Doom gave to the Toons for being elected was the one he previously robbed in the bank. The ending scene was originally going to have Doom reveal his Toon mouth and red hands with long nails. In early drafts for the film, he was revealed to be Man , as in the early drafts Eddie mentions offhand to Roger that the person who killed Teddy was probably the one who killed Bambi's mother . However, this dialogue was cut from the film for reasons yet unknown.

In the Bonkers series, the Collector is the reverse of Judge Doom. He is a human disguised as a Toon but shares a similar personality and glasses. Though Doom's real identity remains a mystery in the film, the yellow paint that remains of him following his death may hint that he was a Toon of a yellow or gold color, as evidenced from the yellow/gold-animated props (handles of his knife-like eyes, springs in his heels, anvil and buzz saw) that sprouted from his black suit during his second fight with Eddie. Prior to the publication of The Resurrection of Doom, many fans speculated that Doom's real Toon form was the "Pistol Packin' Possum", a Toon seen on one of the posters in R. K. Maroon's office. This is mainly because the Possum has red eyes just like the Toon that killed Teddy Valiant as well as the exact same gun that Judge Doom had in the scene where he shot Maroon. Additionally, in the first scene where Valiant talks to Maroon about taking on the snoop job, behind Maroon are posters of cartoons on a rotating wall. The one on the right is a poster of the "Pistol Packin' Possum".

When Valiant and Maroon walk over to the desk to discuss more business, the rotating wall is closed and the poster (along with the gun the possum is holding) is always pointed towards Maroon with his back turned to it. Even after the release of The Resurrection of Doom, this theory could still be somewhat valid, as "Baron Von Rotten" was known as "the toon with a thousand faces" and played many disguised roles, one of which might have been Pistol Packin' Possum. There are many subtle clues throughout the film that give away the fact that Doom is a Toon: Doom's behavior when using or around Dip is rather curious. When he first uses the Dip, he wears a rubber glove to protect himself, suggesting that he wears it to avoid getting soaked when of course we later learn it's so that his Toon hand won't melt. Then, after the Dip gets kicked over by Eddie during the scuffle in Dolores' bar, Doom backs away from it. The other bar patrons back away from it as well making it less obvious. Also, when he decides to get Benny the Cab off the road so he can capture Eddie and Jessica, he kicks it and keeps a distance from it.

If one looks closely, it is shown that Doom always has an ominous wind gently rustling at his clothes, even indoors and when the human characters' clothes stay still. It should be noted that whenever Doom is shown on-screen, he never blinks. This was likely an allusion to the fact that his face was actually revealed to be a mask and his eyes were fake. When he slips on some fake eyeballs, he doesn't fall directly but slips a few times until he suddenly falls. Normally, a human would fall directly after slipping once, as Eddie did. Also. when he gets back on his feet after falling, he hides one of his eyes, not because it is in pain, but so as to conceal his actual red Toon eyes with the fake ones he is wearing. Eddie states that Doom's "lamebrain freeway idea could only be cooked up by a Toon". When Doom is run over by the steamroller in the Acme Factory, he's merely compressed and flattened. If he were a human, it would have been a lot messier. In Toontown, when Jessica shoots Doom to save Eddie, he is moments later seen running, seemingly unaffected by the gunshot.

Several notable actors and celebrities were considered for the role of Judge Doom. Originally, Tim Curry was a big contender to play Doom, but he was seen as way too frightening in his audition and the producers were afraid that viewers would find him terrifying. [1] However, even with Lloyd ultimately being cast as Doom instead, viewers still find him very frightening, especially considering the fact that even if he was cast as a villain, most of Christopher Lloyd's roles were often comic relief, something Doom isn't. John Cleese expressed interest in playing Doom, but both Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis refused thinking nobody would take a former member of Monty Python seriously as a sadistic villain. Cleese later played the antagonist in An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. [1] Roddy McDowall , Robin Williams , Eddie Deezen , Sting , and Jon Pertwee were all considered as well. [1] If one pauses at the shot of Doom getting knocked by the spray of Dip, they will notice the dummy used for filming.

Judge Doom was originally supposed to be said to be the hunter who shot Bambi's mother as a dark joke from Eddie, to illustrate how Eddie's brother's death had been just as traumatizing for him as Bambi's mother's had been for Bambi. When that offhand command was unearthed in an old script that leaked on the Internet, it was unexpectedly taken seriously and many still think of it as a seriously scrapped idea when it was never intended to be more than a joke (Man, Bambi and his mother are all clearly fictional actors played by toons in the movie's continuity). When Christopher Lloyd read the script's instructions to never blink on camera, he correctly guessed, "He's a toon."

Angelo : Hey, I seen a rabbit. [Roger gasps] Judge Doom : Not just ANY Toon... [Doom wobbles over to an oxygen tank, puts the valve in his mouth and turns it on. He inflates back to his old self. His hat flies off and his prosthetic eyeballs pop out. Then he turns menacingly to Eddie, his eyes glowing a grim Toon red. Eddie gasps in terror] Judge Doom : [voice getting higher, until it reaches a high-pitched squeak] Remember me, Eddie? When I killed your brother, I talked... just... like... THIS!

[eyes pop out in the shape of daggers] R.K. Maroon : How much do you know about show business, Mr. Valiant? Eddie Valiant : Only that there is no business like it, no business I know. R.K. Maroon : Yeah. And there's no business more expensive. I'm 25 grand over budget on the latest Baby Herman cartoon. You've seen the rabbit blowing his lines. He can't keep his mind on his job. You know why? Eddie Valiant : One too many refrigerators dropped on his head? R.K. Maroon : Nah, he's a toon. You can drop anything you want on his head, he'll shake it off. But break his heart, goes to pieces just like you and me. Judge Doom : You wouldn't have any idea where the rabbit might be, Mr. Valiant? Eddie Valiant : Have you tried Walla Walla? Cucamonga? I hear Kokomo's very nice this time of the year. Judge Doom : I'm surprised you're not more cooperative, Mr. Valiant. A human has been murdered by a toon. Don't you appreciate the magnitude of that?

Eddie Valiant : What's that? Lt. Santino : Remember how they always thought there wasn't a way to kill a toon? Well, Doom found a way. Turpentine, acetone, benzene. He calls it "The Dip." Judge Doom : I'll catch the rabbit, Mr. Valiant. And I'll try him, convict him, and execute him. [dips shoe in poison, and cremation smoke starts sizzling out] Eddie Valiant : Aw, no! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Mickey Mouse : Aw, poor fella. Ha ha. Bugs Bunny : Yeah, ain't I a stinker? Lena Hyena : [Eddie continues falling until Lena Hyena catches him before he hits the ground] My man! [Gives him a stretching kiss, Eddie tumbles backwards away from her a long way] Lena Hyena : Come to Lena! Eddie Valiant : [Starts running towards him, Eddie rips part of a street line and moves it toward a wall which she runs straight into] Toons. Gets 'em every time. [Bongo catches Eddie spying on Jessica] Bongo : What do you think you're doing, chump?

Eddie Valiant : Who are you callin' a chump, chimp? [Picks up Eddie and carries him to the backstage door] Bongo : Don't let me catch your peepin' face around here again. Got it? GRR! [Slams door] Eddie Valiant : OOGA-BOOGA! Smart Ass : [From outside Eddie's Office] Don't make us play rough, Valiant. We just want the rabbit. Roger Rabbit : What are we gonna do, Eddie? What are we gonna do, Eddie? What are we gonna do? Eddie Valiant : What's all this "we" stuff? They just want the rabbit. R.K. Maroon : [Ducking under the curtains] Kinda jumpy, aren't you, Mr. Valiant? It's just Dumbo. Eddie Valiant : I KNOW who it is. [Maroon opens the window] R.K. Maroon : I got him on loan from Disney - him and half the cast of Fantasia. The best part is, they work for peanuts. [Throws peanuts to Dumbo, who flies off] Betty Boop : Long time, no see!

Eddie Valiant : What are you doing here? Betty Boop : Work's been kinda slow since cartoons went to color. But I still got it, Eddie! "Boop-boop-be-doop-*boop*!" Eddie Valiant : [grins] Yeah. You still got it. [Eddie is hiding Roger and the handcuffs in his sink, to hide him from the Toon Patrol] Smart Ass : Okay, wise-guy. Where's the rabbit? Eddie Valiant : Haven't seen 'im. Smart Ass : [sniffs suspiciously at the sink] What's in there? Eddie Valiant : [holds up a dirty sock] My lingerie. Smart Ass : [yelps, winces, and covers his nose] I see, Valiant. Eddie Valiant : Dolores, you need to find yourself a good man. Dolores : But I already have a good man. [they are about to kiss when Roger sighs - they turn to him] Roger Rabbit : P-p-please, don't mind me. [Eddie is hanging on to a flagpole with Tweety Bird's nest on top] Tweety : Oh, wook, piddies!

Tweety : This wittle piddy went to market. [lifts one of Eddie's fingers from the pole] Tweety : This wittle piddy stayed home. [lifts another one] Tweety : This wittle piddy had woast beef... [lifts another one] Tweety : [wincing] And *this* wittle piddy - had... [Eddie falls] Roger Rabbit : Hide me Eddie... PLLLEASE. [Jumps into the Drawers] Eddie Valiant : GET OUT OF THERE. Eddie Valiant : GET OUT OF THAT CHAIR!... That's my brother's chair. Roger Rabbit : [looking at photo on desk] Yeah, where is your brother anyway? He looks like a sensitive and... SOBER fellow. Eddie Valiant : That's it. I'm calling the cops. Roger Rabbit : [leaving] Go ahead. Call the cops. I come here for help and what do you do? Yo turn me in. No, don't feel guilty about me. So long, and thanks for nothing. [slams door] Roger Rabbit : But I wanna drive. Benny the Cab : No. I'LL drive, I'M the cab!

Outta my way, pencil neck! Roger Rabbit : Jeepers, Eddie. That was swell. You saved my life. How can I ever repay ya? [kisses Eddie, Eddie pulls away] Eddie Valiant : For starters, don't ever kiss me again. [Judge Doom about to "dip" Roger] Eddie Valiant : Hey, Judge. Doesn't a dying rabbit deserve a last request? Roger Rabbit : Yeah, nose plugs would be nice. Eddie Valiant : I think you want a drink. So, how about it, Judge? Judge Doom : Well, why not? I don't mind prolonging the execution. Roger Rabbit : [taking drink] Listen, when I say I do, that means I do. [Roger smokes up, releasing him self from Judge Doom, and Eddie takes out the Weasels] Judge Doom : You see, Mr. Valiant, the successful conclusion of this case draws the curtain on my career as a jurist in Toontown. I'm retiring, taking a new role in the private sector. Eddie Valiant : That wouldn't be Cloverleaf Industries, by any chance? Judge Doom : You're looking at the sole stockholder.

Eddie Valiant : Scotch on the rocks... and I MEAN ICE! Jessica Rabbit : Well, we're not going anywhere in my car. Let's take yours. Eddie Valiant : I have a feeling someone already did. Jessica Rabbit : From the looks of it I'd say it was Roger. My honey bunny was never very good behind the wheel. Eddie Valiant : Better lover than a driver, huh? Jessica Rabbit : You'd better believe it, buster. R.K. Maroon : Roger, I know this seems pretty painful now, but you'll find someone new. Won't he, Mr. Valiant? Eddie Valiant : Good looking guy like that? Dames will be breaking his doors down. Roger Rabbit : Dames? What dames? [Angrily grabbing Eddie by the lapels] Roger Rabbit : Jessica's the only one for me. You'll see. We'll rise above this piddling pecadillo. We're gonna be happy again. You got that? Happy. Capital H-A-P-P-I. [Runs through window] Eddie Valiant : At least he took it well. [Eddie gets $50 for a $100 job] Eddie Valiant : Fish special?

Dolores : Well, my boss checks the books on Friday. And if I don't have that money I gave you back in the till, I'm gonna lose my job. Eddie Valiant : Don't bust a button, Dolores. [extracts his $50 check] Eddie Valiant : You've only got one left. R.K. Maroon : [Being Interrogated by Eddie, to make him talk] What are you gonna do to me, Valiant? Eddie Valiant : I'm gonna listen to you spin the Cloverleaf scenario. The story of greed, sex and murder. And the parts that I don't like, I'm gonna edit out. R.K. Maroon : You got it all wrong, Valiant. I'm a cartoon maker, not a murderer. Eddie Valiant : Everybody's gotta have a hobby. Bongo : Got the password? Eddie Valiant : Walt sent me. Smart Ass : Look, Valiant, we got a reliable tip-off. The rabbit was here. It was corrugated by several others. So cut the "bull-shtick"!

Eddie Valiant : You keep talkin' like that, and I'm gonna have to wash your mouth out! [he sticks a bar of soap in Smart Ass's mouth, making the other weasels laugh] Eddie Valiant : This singing ain't my line / It's hard to make a rhyme / If I get stuck, I'm... I'm out of luck, and... and... Jessica Rabbit : I'm running out of time! Roger Rabbit : A toon? No! Eddie Valiant : Yes, a toon. We were investigating a robbery at the First National Bank of Toontown. Back in those days, me and Teddy liked working Toontown, thought it was a lot of laughs. Anyway, this guy got away with a zillion simoleons. We trailed him to a little dive down on Yukster Street. We went in. Only he got the drop on us, literally. Dropped a piano on us from fifteen stories. Broke my arm, Teddy never made it. I never did find out who that guy was. All I remember was him standing over me laughing, with those burning red eyes, and that high, squeaky voice. He disappeared into Toontown after that.

Eddie Valiant : I'm glad Teddy isn't here to see me running with my tail between my legs. Roger Rabbit : It's not so bad, once you get used to it. Eddie Valiant : Weren't you the one I caught playing pattycake with old man Acme? Jessica Rabbit : You didn't catch me, Mr. Valiant. You were set up to take those pictures. Eddie Valiant : What are you talking about? Jessica Rabbit : Maroon wanted to blackmail Acme. I didn't want to have anything to do with it, but he said that if I didn't pose for those pattycake pictures, Roger would never work in this town again. I couldn't let that happen. I'd do anything for my husband, Mr. Valiant. Anything. [Presses her chest against Eddie's with a "thump"] Eddie Valiant : A ladies' man, eh? Baby Herman : The problem is I got a fifty year old lust and a three year old dinky. Look, Valiant, the rabbit didn't kill Acme. He's not a murderer, I should know, he's a dear friend of mine.

I tell ya Valiant, the whole thing stinks like yesterday's diapers. Look at this. The papers said Acme left no will. [Tosses Eddie a Newspaper which shows Marvin Acme with a will in the pocket of his shirt] Baby Herman : That's a load of succotash. Any toon knows Acme had a will. He promised to leave Toontown to us toons. That will is the real reason he got bumped off. Eddie Valiant : Has anyone ever seen this will? Baby Herman : Ah, no. But he gave us his solemn oath. Eddie Valiant : If you think that guy could do anything solemn, the gag's on you, pal. Baby Herman : I just thought that since you were the one who got my pal in trouble, you might wanna help get him out. I can pay ya. Eddie Valiant : [angry] Save your money for a pair of elevator shoes! [pushes stroller] Baby Herman : Hey hey hay, Valiant, wait! [cigar falls to floor as stroller hits woman] Baby Herman : WAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WAAAAAA... Eddie Valiant : Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that in a fit of jealousy you wrote your wife a love letter? Roger Rabbit : That's right! I knew that she was just an innocent victim of circumstance. Eddie Valiant : I suppose you used the old lipstick on the mirror routine. Roger Rabbit : Lipstick, yes. Mirror, no. I found a nice, clean piece of paper. [reading] Roger Rabbit : "Dear Jessica: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. One one-thousand. Two one-thousand. Three one-thousand. Four one-thousand. Five...? Roger Rabbit : Say, Eddie. That sure was a funny dance you did for the weasels. Do you think your days of being a sourpuss are over? Eddie Valiant : Only time will tell. Roger Rabbit : Yeah, well... put 'er there, pal. [They shake hands; Eddie gets shocked by buzzer on Roger's hand; he glowers at Roger] Roger Rabbit : Don't tell me you lost your sense of humor already? Eddie Valiant : [Grabbing Roger by the throat] Does this answer your question?

[Eddie kisses Roger in the mouth] Eddie Valiant : Say, Roger. That letter you wrote to your wife at the Ink and Paint Club? Why don't you read it to her now? Roger Rabbit : Sure thing, Eddie. "Dear Jessica: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I, Marvin Acme, of sound mind and body...? It's the will! R.K. Maroon : [Pulls a gun on Eddie] Let me see that will. Eddie Valiant : I told you, I got it. R.K. Maroon : I wanna see it now! [Grabs the will from Eddie's coat and reads it] R.K. Maroon : "How do I love thee, let me count the ways"? Is this supposed to be a joke? Eddie Valiant : No, this is. [Squirts seltzer on Maroon, then punches him] Judge Doom : Have they got the will or not? Smart Ass : [Holding out Jessica's Love Letter from Roger found in Eddie's pocket] Nah, just a stupid love letter. Judge Doom : No matter. I doubt the will'll show up in the next fifteen minutes, anyway.

Eddie Valiant : What happens in the next fifteen minutes? Judge Doom : Toontown will be legally mine, lock, stock and barrel. Eddie Valiant : Can I borrow your camera? Mine's at the shop. Dolores : Wouldn't be the pawn shop, by any chance? Eddie Valiant : C'mon, Dolores. You want the other fifty, I need the camera. [Dolores hands Eddie the camera] Eddie Valiant : Any film in there? Dolores : Should be. Haven't had that film developed since our trip to Catalina. Sure was a long time ago. Eddie Valiant : Yeah. that was along time ago. We should do that again some time. Dolores : Yeah, sure, Eddie. Eddie Valiant : So, how long have you known it was Doom? Jessica Rabbit : Before poor Marvin was killed, he confided in me that Judge Doom wanted to get his hands on Toontown, and he wouldn't stop at anything. Eddie Valiant : So he gave you the will for safe keeping. Jessica Rabbit : That's what he told me, except when I opened the envelope, there was only a blank piece of paper inside.

Eddie Valiant : Ha! A joker to the end. Eddie Valiant : Everything's funny to you, ain't it, needlenose? Smart Ass : You got a problem with that, Valiant? Eddie Valiant : No, I just want you to know something about the guy you're gonna dip. [Pulls a lever on a calliope, which plays "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down"] Eddie Valiant : [singing] Now Roger is his name / Laughter is his game / C'mon you dope, untie his rope / And watch him go insane. [He starts dancing and tumbling around, as the weasels laugh] Benny the Cab : "Which one?" [a sign pops up on the dashboard reading "This one, stupid!"] Roger Rabbit : Listen, my philosophy is this: If you don't have a good sense of humor, you're better off dead. Eddie Valiant : You might just get your wish if we don't find out what happened to this. [Tosses a photo at Dolores] Eddie Valiant : Just look at it.

[the photo is an enlargement of one of the photos of Acme and Jessica, with a paper in Acme's coat pocket circled] Roger Rabbit : Mister Acme's will! Eddie Valiant : Yeah, and I think Acme took the part of sound mind, and your wife of sound body. Roger Rabbit : Why, I resent that innuendo! Jessica Rabbit : Uh-oh. It's the weasels! This way. We'll take Gingerbread Lane. Eddie Valiant : No, no! Gingerbread Lane's this way! [Points with his thumb; suddenly, Benny the Cab appears in front of them] Benny the Cab : So, Valiant, you call a cab or what? [Sees Jessica] Benny the Cab : Hubba, hubba, hubba! [Opens the door for her] Eddie Valiant : Let's go. Eddie Valiant : Nobody's gonna drive this lousy freeway when they can take the Red Car for a nickel. Judge Doom : Oh, they'll drive. They'll have to. You see, I bought the Red Car so I could dismantle it.

[Eddie arrives with Roger at Dolores' store to get the handcuffs removed, and hide Roger from Judge Doom] Dolores : I thought you said you'd never take another toon case. What did you have a change of heart? Eddie Valiant : Nothing's changed. Somebody's made a patsy outta me and I'm gonna find out why! Roger Rabbit : Let's forget it, there's nobody here! Eddie Valiant : Is that it, or are you scared? Roger Rabbit : P-p-p-p-please! Me, scared? Don't be ridiculous! [teeth chatter] Roger Rabbit : When you called Maroon, you told him you had the will, but you don't. When he finds out, he's gonna be mad! He might try to kill ya. Eddie Valiant : I can handle a Hollywood cream puff. I just don't want the odds to change. You cover my back. If you hear or see anything, beep the horn twice. [Eddie goes into Maroon's office] Roger Rabbit : Yeah, that's it, beep the horn twice. Cover your back. Boy, I'm ready: dukes up, eyes peeled, ears to the ground.

Why, nobody gets the drop on Roger Rabbit! [a frying pan is held above his head from behind; it slams down on his head, knocking the rabbit out cold, after which the assailant drags Roger around behind the wall] Roger Rabbit : [Emerges from the closet and slaps cuffs on Eddie] Eddie Valiant, you're under arrest! Pbbbbbbbbb... Eddie Valiant : Get outta there! Idiot, I got no keys for these cuffs! Judge Doom : Then frisk the woman. Greasy : *I'll* handle this one... [He puts his hand down her dress and feels around for a beat before screaming in pain and removing his hand which has been caught by a bear trap] Eddie Valiant : [to Jessica] Nice booby trap. [the weasels all laugh at Greasy's misfortune, but Doom glares at them and they stop] Judge Doom : Do they have the will or not? Smart Ass : Nah, just a stupid love letter. Judge Doom : No matter. I doubt that will is going to show up in the next fifteen minutes anyway. Eddie Valiant : What happens in the next fifteen minutes?

Judge Doom : Toontown will be legally mine, lock, stock and barrel. Judge Doom : [deleted scene] We'll handle Mr. Valiant our own way: downtown. Eddie Valiant : Downtown? Fine. I'll just get a hold of Santino. I'll be more than happy to go downtown. Judge Doom : Oh, I'm not talking about *that* downtown. I'm talking about downtown *Toon*town! Judge Doom : [deleted scene] Rummaging around in a lady's dressing room? Tsk, tsk, tsk. What were you looking for, Mr. Valiant? Jessica Rabbit : Last week, some heavy breather wanted one of my nylons as a souvenir. Eddie Valiant : Look, doll, if I'd wanted underwear, I'd have broken into Frederick's of Hollywood. You know damn well I was looking for Marvin Acme's will. Judge Doom : Marvin Acme had no will. I should know; the estate's in my jurisdiction. Eddie Valiant : Oh, there was a will all right. And she and R.K. Maroon killed him for it. Jessica Rabbit : [offended] That's absurd!

Eddie Valiant : Someone else is in here looking for the will, too. Probably Maroon's flunkies. [gestures toward the gorilla bouncer] Eddie Valiant : I would've caught 'em, too, if Cheetah here hadn't have interrupted me! Eddie Valiant : [to Delores] I'm on the verge of wrapping up this case.

Biography Edit Eddie and his brother Teddy were sons of a circus clown (shown by the pictures on their desk in the film), who joined the police force and eventually started their own private investigation service Valiant and Valiant, in 1934 , working largely on toon cases, such as the kidnapping of Donald Duck 's nephews in 1937 or clearing Goofy of accusations of espionage in 1940 , both seen as newspaper clippings in Eddie's office. However, when Teddy was killed by the then-unknown toon form of Judge Doom in 1942 , Eddie turned to the bottle and disappeared from the public eye. This is also the explanation of why Eddie shows dislike towards toons. Edit In 1947, R.K. Maroon paid Eddie $100 to photograph Jessica quite literally "playing pattycake" with Marvin Acme . When Acme is murdered and Roger becomes the prime suspect of the case, Eddie teams up with Roger to find the killer and soon, finds not only Acme's murderer, but the murderer of Maroon and his own brother, who turns out to be Judge Doom who is a toon wearing a human mask.

Eddie manages to defeat Doom by squirting dip on him, making him to melt and scream, "I'm melting! Melting!" a reference to the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz (1939), who melts when she gets water squirted at her. After defeating Doom at Acme Warehouse, Eddie then abandoned his vendetta against toons and walks home with Roger and Jessica and his girlfriend Dolores. In the graphic novel of the film published in 1989 by Marvel Comics , Eddie is the narrator of the story, telling the film through his eyes and in the style of a detective story. Other appearances Edit In Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, Eddie is a fictional Californian private detective hired by comic-book star Roger Rabbit to investigate the workings of Roger's corrupt employers, the DeGreasey Brothers. When Roger is found dead, and his final words having been censored out, Valiant is soon sent on the case of tracking Rogers' murderers. This first incarnation of Eddie is a heavy smoker, has a beard and is active when the book is set ( 1981 ), rather than the later, more accepted incarnation of the character.

The 1988 film gave more insight into the character of Eddie Valiant, who was played by Bob Hoskins . He also doesn't smoke, but is a border-line alcoholic. Trivia Judge Doom | Disneyvillainroleplay Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Judge Doom is the villain in Who framed Rogder Rabbit?. He is roleplayed by Joshuakrasinski .

Formely known as Baron Von Rotten is the villain from the hybrid film: Who Framed Roger Rabbit. He is evil, murderous, fearsome, greedy, abusive, cruel. He wears a black jacket, under it he has a white shirt. Personality Doom displayed two very different personalities in the film, both equally menacing to his enemies.

Movie Doom is a calm and reserved man without mercy and brutally executes those who he perceives as guilty or stand in his way. He is also cruel to the Toon Patrol and mainly abuses them with his cane although he only hits two members. First he hits Smarty round the head with his cane after he continued laughing and then he hit Greasy round the head after his hand was caught in a hunting trap. He has an ambition to erase Toontown in order to create a freeway due to its profit and potential benefits; buying, then dismantling the "red car" to avoid competition and taking money from his theft at the bank to launch the project. He also proves to exhibit a cunning personality, as he lures out Roger with the "shave and a haircut" trick. He had a Hitler complex which he tries to deny to the extent of disguising himself as a human to try to rid the world of Toons, despite being one himself.

However when he was being run over, he acts like a Toon (screaming incomprehensible noises in fear) and does not deny it once the jig was up, but "not just any Toon..." Toon After Doom reinflates himself with an oxygen tank and reveals himself as Teddy's killer with reunion with Eddie he tells him why he should not remember his eyes, but his voice (which grows higher until it reaches a horrifyingly high pitch) and his eyes turn to daggers ready to kill him. Though he doesn't talk again until his demise, he pursues Eddie when he was running away, turns on the cannon to melt Roger and Jessica Rabbit once he was pushed to the ground, punching Eddie with an anvil, turning it into an buzz saw to demonstrate how lethal it was and the swirling eyes with a wide grin as he was gradually getting closer to kill Eddie. All these traits show he was a deranged and sadistic psychopath who enjoys making his victims watch as their friends die and loves to kill them slowly in the most agonizing way. He does have a fear of death, as he instantly panicked as soon as the Dip hit him and screamed as he melted.
