But it&#8217;s still not really a musical, or structured as such &#8211; instead this musical interlude as our three convicts try to get a few coppers to continue their journey comes as a great old-timey surprise. I also like their interrupted reprise of this at the rally later in the film, but couldn&#8217;t find a good YouTube copy of it (without a lot of extraneous stuff included).<\/p>\n<div class=\"centered\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YZtgZ5fHOuU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>7. <span class=\"movie\">Who Framed Roger Rabbit?<\/span> &#8211; &#8220;Why Don&#8217;t You Do Right&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Ah, remember when mixed live-action\/animation films had hand-drawn animation, zany stories, and were awesome? Yeah. Here detective Eddie Valiant gets a surprise when he first sees Jessica Rabbit, who does a spot-on imitation of every sultry 1940s nightclub number, with particular reference to Tex Avery&#8217;s Cinderella\/Red Riding Hood set of cartoon shorts.
