The Toon Behind the Curtain: Gary K. Wolf on Creating Roger Rabbit
Step into Toontown with us as Back to Pop welcomes the legendary Gary K. Wolf, the creative mind who brought Roger Rabbit to life and forever changed the way animation meets reality. From his humble beginnings in Earlville, Illinois to his time flying missions in the Air Force, Gary’s journey is anything but ordinary.
In this deep-dive episode, we trace the evolution of Who Censored Roger Rabbit? from page to screen and explore the seismic impact of Who Framed Roger Rabbit—a film that broke barriers, won Oscars, and united the worlds of Disney and Warner Bros. We’ll revisit iconic characters like Jessica Rabbit, peel back the curtain on his legal battles with Disney, and discover how his beloved creations continue to shape pop culture.
Whether you’re a fan of animation, film history, or just love a good noir-meets-cartoon mashup, this episode is your nostalgic backstage pass.
