Wheezy



Wheezy (voiced by June Foray) is a member of the Toon Patrol and one of the supporting antagonists in Touchstone's 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.Contents [show] PersonalityWheezy is distinguished by his chain-smoking, and for having smoky blue fur while the other members all have brown. Wheezy's mouth is usually full of cigarettes and his teeth are grubby and yellow from nicotine. He wears a beat-up off-white bowler hat which carries an additional stash of cigarettes, a black vest, a loose tie and a wrinkled shirt. He has brown eyes, which are frequently bloodshot. His weapon of choice is the Thompson 1928 variant of a Tommy Gun but he only uses it once in the film (when he shoots Eddie Valiant's door open), preferring to use physical combat. He is the second weasel to die after losing control of his laughter and also evidently from too much smoking, considering the voluminous amounts he coughs up. He appears afraid of dying, as he is seen unsuccessfully trying to pull his soul back into his body, though when it breaks free, it does not appear regretful.In addition to Wheezy's smoky-blue fur, his clothes, fingers and teeth are all heavily discoloured from nicotine. If he speaks without cigarettes in his mouth, he has a deep voice(when he says "Let's go!" as Roger Rabbit and Eddie Valiant escape in Benny the Cab) and if he does, he speaks in a harsh, raspy voice(as he ties up Roger and Jessica Rabbit in the Acme Factory, he says "Move it."). He also coughs frequently. Who Framed Roger RabbitWheezy is first seen with the other weasels in the Acme warehouse. His next appearance is in Eddie Valiant's office searching for Roger Rabbit. He uses a Tommygun to shoot Eddie's door open. While searching for the rabbit, he starts laughing when he sees Smarty with a bar of soap in his mouth; not before being silenced by him after spitting the soap out and letting it hit his head to shut him up; stating that if he can't stop laughing, he's gonna die laughing literally one day. In the bar scene, he attempts to stop Eddie but is hit in the face with a chair. Wheezy is next seen at the Acme warehouse helping Stupid drill open a wall to Toontown. Later he is charged with pouring the Dip ingredients(turpentine, acetone and benzene)into the Dip mixer and giving Psycho instructions on how to use the Dip sprayer. He later dies laughing and tries to pull his soul back into his body, but fails.GalleryFor more images, click hereTriviaSome people have mistaken Wheezy to be a female, as he is voiced by a woman (June Foray).In the movie, Smarty claims that Greasy will die laughing (as a way to get him to shut up). Ironically, this is exactly how Wheezy dies later on.
