[Who Framed Roger Rabbit] What about non-toony toons?

In the movie, they make a big deal about how the entire point of a toon's existence is to make people laugh. The thing is, that's not as true now as it was during the Golden Age of Animation, as there are just as many dramatic cartoons nowadays as there are comedic cartoons. Hell, that was even true back when the film takes place, with many Disney films like *Snow White*, *Pinocchio*, and *Bambi* having a lot of drama in them.

They also point out that it's impossible to (permanently) kill a toon with anything other than dip. It makes sense, knowing how characters in the classic cartoons can survive practically anything that's thrown at them. But a lot of animation nowadays has more realistic physics, even the comedic ones like *The Simpsons*, so it's easier for a character to die in one of those than it is in, say, *Looney Tunes*.

They are probably there.  Funny you should mention Pinocchio and Bambi because they are on screen at the end looking at the death of Judge Doom.

That doesn't mean anything.  Heck, even in the Simpsons, Homer has taken enough abuse falling off Springfield Gorge to kill him and he's been fine.  The toons don't die unless the plot or the story says they die and even then it's acting. They simply don't die.
