Dueling Pianos script

Added 2018-11-17 08:21:00 +0000 UTC

I'm just about halfway through production of my next video all about Roger Rabbit, specifically the Donald vs Daffy scene.

I've put a lot of research into this, primarily trying to find proof/sources to every factoid surrounding this movie and actually discovered many assumed truths are false or incorrect.

I'm very proud that I didn't fall for the same trap of spreading the same inaccuracies yet again and can back up every point. One such thing is the idea that Chuck Jones storyboarded the Donald vs Daffy scene (along with Richard Williams, the animation director). I managed to source a copy of Chuck Jones Conversations, which is a collection of interviews and there he clearly states that while it was planned he'd be involved, the final result was totally different to what he'd planned and he hated it. So the truth is while it was intended, he did not board the scene that we actually see! I also found out that Chuck Jones was a bit of a miserable git! Haha!

So if you fancy, I've attached the script. If there's anything you think I'm wrong about or want me to back up (basically test me!), let me know! Naturally if there's anything I'm totally incorrect about, I'd wanna nip it in the bud now before I release the video!

If on the other hand you don't wanna read the script and just wanna avoid spoilers until the video is out, that's all good with me! Just putting the option out there! :D
