Are There Films Portraying Roger Bannister'S Famous Race?

Gotta say, the hidden bits behind 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' are a real treat if you like peeking at how a movie was stitched together. Official home releases (special-edition DVDs and Blu-rays) and various fan compilations have surfaced a handful of deleted and extended scenes — not huge alternate story beats that rewrite the plot, but lots of trimmed character moments, extra gags, and storyboarded ideas that reveal how meticulous the filmmakers were. Most of what shows up as deleted material falls into a few categories: extended versions of the Ink and Paint Club sequence with slightly longer camera moves and alternate takes of Jessica's performance; extra gag beats in the freeway and chase sequences (tiny physical-comedy moments that slowed the film's rhythm); additional bits in Eddie's world that give you more of his grief and snark, including longer conversations or reaction shots that were trimmed for pacing; and storyboard/animatic segments that depict ideas which never made it to final animation — things like alternate Toon gags, different ways the Weasels could have mobbed scenes, and extra exposition about Judge Doom's methods. There are also deleted or alternate shots around the Acme factory and the courtroom/maroon sequences that expand the chaos but ultimately weren't needed for the final cut. Watching these extras changed how I see the film: they don’t improve the movie so much as illuminate the choices Robert Zemeckis and the team made — why a gag was cut, why a dramatic beat was tightened. It’s like reading a director’s sketchbook. I love how the extras underscore that balancing tone between noir and cartoon comedy was a deliberate, sometimes painful process; those missed gags and trimmed moments make the finished film feel all the more precise to me.

I used to stumble across little interview clips and festival panels about Roger Freedman, and what always stuck with me was the sense that his first novel was born out of stubborn curiosity. He seemed driven by a handful of personal scraps — a childhood neighborhood that felt like a character, a weird summer job that taught him how people hide things, and a pile of books that wouldn't stop whispering at him. Those ingredients combined into a hunger to understand motive, voice, and consequence. When I imagine his process, it's not a single lightning strike but a patient accumulation: travel, overheard conversations, an old photograph, then the decision to stop turning ideas over in his head and actually write. I’ve seen creatives talk about ‘necessity’ as their fuel; with him it reads like a compulsion to fix a story that had been circling his mind for years. That tension between curiosity and compulsion is what usually gives a first novel its heartbeat, and I felt that in the interviews and essays about his early career. So for me, the inspiration wasn’t a grand event but a collage of lived moments — enough friction to spark a book and enough affection for people to make it humane.

If we include Gol D. Roger himself, the question almost answers itself: he was the strongest by far — he reached the summit of the sea and earned the title Pirate King in 'One Piece'. But I get that most people asking this are actually wondering which crewmate was the toughest after the captain. For me, this comes down to two names: Silvers Rayleigh and Kozuki Oden. Rayleigh is the seasoned Haki virtuoso who could casually spar with Admirals and later trained Luffy, showing mastery of all three Haki types and ridiculous durability and speed. Oden, on the other hand, was a raw powerhouse samurai with monstrous physical strength, brutal swordsmanship, and a reputation that made him match up with figures like Kaido in their flashbacks. Shanks is in the mix too — he matured into a Yonko — but during the Roger days he wasn’t yet at his peak. If I had to pick one crewmate on balance, I lean toward Rayleigh for technique and overall combat IQ, but Oden was probably the single most physically terrifying fighter. It’s the classic brain-and-skill versus raw-muscle debate, and I love that 'One Piece' gives us both types to argue about while I re-read the voyage on slow evenings.

I still get goosebumps thinking about how Gol D. Roger’s crew stitched together the trail to the final island in 'One Piece'. They didn’t find the treasure by following a single map—what they did was more like archaeology mixed with old-fashioned pirate stubbornness. They chased stories in taverns, bribed port scholars, and fought their way into libraries and ruins to pry loose fragments of history. A big part of their success was having someone who could actually read the ancient stones: Kozuki Oden. His ability to read poneglyphs turned scattered carvings into directions instead of mere curiosities. Beyond reading, they used triangulation. Some stones—what we now call Road Poneglyphs—contained coordinates or hints, and Roger’s team collected enough of those clues to triangulate where the final island lay. Layered on top of that were the usual pirate tools: eavesdropping, interrogating captains, trading favors, and surviving brutal seas with fierce Haki and seamanship. The whole thing wasn’t a straight line; it was patient, brutal, clever work—equal parts brains and brawn. Thinking about it makes me want to trace their route on a map and imagine the conversations under dim lanterns where whole pieces of history were finally sewn together.

I still get chills thinking about that wild moment when the whole world learned what Gol D. Roger had done. In my head, it plays like a scene from 'One Piece' you pause and stare at—the captain and his crew didn't go burying a conventional treasure chest on some secret beach. They made it to the final island, Laugh Tale, and everything they found or left behind is tied to that place. Roger's execution and his last words—basically handing the world a map made of mystery—sparked the Great Pirate Era, not because he hid one chest but because he left something far bigger for people to chase. I like to imagine the crew sitting on the decks afterward, laughing about the irony: all the gold and secrets at Laugh Tale, but the real score was the history and the challenge itself. Fans argue about whether bits of the haul were scattered world-wide, or if the Poneglyphs and that final revelation count as the true treasure. Either way, for me the point sticks: the biggest thing Roger left wasn't a buried chest under an X, it was a story waiting to be uncovered at Laugh Tale, and that sparks adventures even now.

Seeing that final execution scene in 'One Piece' hit me harder than I expected — not because Roger died, but because of what he said as he went. He didn't just leave behind treasure; he left behind a dare. When Gol D. Roger reached Laugh Tale and uncovered the truth (and the One Piece itself), the fact that he declared his treasure open basically turned his discovery into a public map for dreams. His execution became the megaphone: he shouted that anyone could go find it, and that single act spread the idea of becoming a pirate like wildfire. Beyond the speech, there are layers: Roger was the kind of captain who embodied freedom and curiosity, so people wanted that life, not just the wealth. The World Government's reaction — tightening control, scapegoating pirates, and making them legendary figures — only made the romantic image stronger. I still get chills thinking about the crowds reacting to his last words; it felt like the whole world suddenly had permission to chase something impossible. For me, it’s the mix of spectacle and meaning. The Great Pirate Era needed more than treasure; it needed hope and provocation. Roger gave both, and then the ocean filled with people chasing that spark. Even years later, flipping through those panels at 2 a.m., I feel that same urge to chase a wild, impossible dream.

I've dug through release lists, fansub archives, and storefront pages so you don't have to: there is no officially licensed English dub for 'You Want a New Mommy? Roger That?'. From what I can track, this title has remained a pretty niche release — often the fate of short OVAs, special shorts bundled with manga volumes, or region-specific extras. Major Western licensors like the usual suspects never put out a Region A dub or an English-language Blu-ray/DVD listing for it, which usually means the only legal way people outside Japan have been watching it is with subtitles. That said, it hasn’t been completely inaccessible. Enthusiast fansubbing groups and hobby translators have historically picked up titles like this, so you’ll often find subtitled rips, community translations, or fan-made subtitle tracks floating around places where collectors congregate. There are also occasional fan dubs — amateur voice projects posted on video-sharing sites or shared among forums — but those are unofficial and vary wildly in quality. If you prefer polished English performances, those won't match a professional studio dub, but they can be charming in their own DIY way. Why no dub? A lot of tiny factors: limited demand, short runtime, or rights being tangled up in anthology releases. Sometimes a short like 'You Want a New Mommy? Roger That?' appears as part of a larger compilation or as a DVD extra, and licensors decide it isn't worth the cost to commission a dub for a five- or ten-minute piece. If you want to hunt for the cleanest viewing experience, importing a Japanese disc with a subtitle track (or a reliable fansub) tends to be the best route. Communities on sites like MyAnimeList, Reddit, or dedicated retro anime groups can point you to legit sources and alert you if a dub ever arrives. Personally, I find these little oddball titles endearing precisely because they stay niche — subs feel more authentic most of the time, and you catch little cultural jokes that dubs sometimes smooth over. If someday a disc company decides to license and dub it, I’ll be first in line to hear how they handle the dialogue, but until then I’m content reading the subtitles and enjoying the quirks.

I went down a rabbit hole looking for 'You Want a New Mommy? Roger That' and here’s what I found and felt about it. Short version up front: there doesn’t seem to be a widely distributed official English release as of the last time I checked, but there are fan translations and community uploads floating around. I tracked mentions on places like MangaDex, NovelUpdates, and a couple of translator blogs, where partial chapters or batches have been translated by volunteers. Quality varies—some translators do line edits, others are rougher machine-assisted reads. If you want to read it properly, my recommendation is twofold: support an official release if it ever appears (check publisher sites like Yen Press, Seven Seas, J-Novel Club, or any press that licenses niche titles), and in the meantime, lean on fan groups while being mindful of legality and the creators. I personally skimmed a fan translation and enjoyed the core premise enough to keep an eye out for a legit English edition—there’s something charming about the story that makes waiting feel worthwhile.
