I heard it on the radio yesterday morning. I thought it was some new
release of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Anyway, if there is no new release and
it is the old one, does anyone know the side/frames to look at?

Actually Baby Herman's middle finger goose of the script girl with
attendant leer (right at the beginning after the bad take of the
opening cartoon) is more lascivious than the 3 or 4 frames of Jessica's
groin later in the film.

And at least on my copy, the Allyson Wonderland graffiti has NO phone
number, just the comment "The Best is Yet to Be".

Is this the new release? Or, just for CAV?

For crying out loud! Jessica is a *BLOODY DRAWING*!!!!

If you really care to watch smut on LD why not just invest in one of the
many adult LDs available and see real nudity.

Jeeeze.

Only in America..........

I always thought these scenes were present in theatrical prints only,
and were removed from all video versions. Is the offending laserdisc
supposed to be the old CAV or the new CAV one?

I read elsewhere that it was in the old version (the one where Widescreen
is in a black bar across the top - the new version has it in a blue
triangle in the upper right corner).
