List of Who Framed Roger Rabbit Media - Animated Shorts - Roller Coaster Rabbit

Rob Minkoff reprises his role as director in this short, as well as Spielberg, Kennedy, and Marshall reprising their roles as executive producers. The short was released in 1990, Spielberg originally wanted the short to appear with Arachnophobia, Hollywood Pictures's first feature and co-produced by Amblin, but this short would eventually be attached to the US theatrical release of Touchstone's Dick Tracy on June 15, 1990 at the insistence of Michael Eisner. It was also released in theaters in the UK with Toy Story in 1995, taking the place of a canceled Roger Rabbit short intended to be shown before that movie.

The second of the Roger Rabbit shorts features our hero at the fair with Baby Herman and Mrs. Herman (Baby Herman's mother). Baby Herman loses his red balloon and Roger goes to get him a new one. Before he returns, however, Baby Herman sees another red balloon at a dart game and goes to try to get it. When Roger comes back to give Baby his balloon, he finds that he is gone, and the chase begins. Firstly Baby Herman finds himself following the balloon into a field homed to a grazing bull. Roger soon follows the youngster. Baby Herman walks through directly underneath the bull, he notices a round balloon-like object and grasps it unknown to him that it was in fact the bull's scrotum. The grazing creature snaps, Roger picks up Baby Herman but just happens to be looking the bull in the eyes. The animal hurls Roger and baby into the air sending him flying out of the field and the two land crashing into a roller coaster carriage which is traveling slowly up. The next stage of this short the carriage continues to climb a tall hill in the track. The two reach the top of the drop which is exaggerated to reach beyond the clouds and into space. Roger looks down and sees the world. Moments later the carriage drops down thousands of meters. The speed of the drop is maintained throughout the remainder of the chase. After a few twist and turns (in the track) a shot of Jessica Rabbit appears where she is tied down to the tracks, unable to move. She calls out to be saved before Roger and Baby Herman's carriage crushes her. As the cart draws near, it topples over and fortunately bounces over Jessica avoiding her completely. The camera 'moves' along and beside her appears Droopy for a quick one-liner. The story then continues. Roger grasping onto Baby Herman, tumbling and losing their carriage leaving Roger sliding along the tracks with his feet, gradually gaining friction causing his feet to catch fire. The tracks run into a dark tunnel and then stumbles across a 'wrong way sign'. Finally Herman and Roger crash through the sign and into a real-life filming studio. A direct reference to the reality/cartoon cross-over in the feature film.

The cartoon characters that make cameo appearances in this short include: Mickey Mouse (as a doll), Pinocchio (on a poster), Ariel (in silhouette on a poster), Clarabelle Cow (as a psychic), and Droopy (dressed as Snidely Whiplash from the Dudley Do-Right TV cartoons).
