Roger Rabbit's octopus in Half Pint Pygmy
Did anyone notice that the octopus from Half Pint Pygmy is the same as the one serving drinks in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"? I'd always wondered where this character came from and was surprised to find it in this BANNED cartoon. (Thanks to Japan's lax censorship guidelines, it was shown on the Cartoon Network on a Saturday morning, no less.) After viewing Roger Rabbit recently, some writers had speculated that the Octopus was generic with "Dopey's" face, but it can be clearly identified as the eight-legged creature from Half Pint Pygmy. Can anyone identify this octopus from showing up again in a prior or later cartoon?
