[edit] Page move

This page was moved from "Harvey (movie)" to "Harvey (film)" as per the naming convention set out at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) – Ianblair23 17:04, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anachronism is incorrect

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was set in 1947. Harvey (play) won the Pulitzer prize in 1945, so the character of Harvey the invisible rabbit would have been well-known (and mosty likely the subject of many such jokes) in 1947. Therefore it's not an anachronism.

Also, even if the the anachronism was correct, it would be an error in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, not this movie, so it shouldn't be listed here either way.

Just for interest's sake, it debuted on November 1, 1944. 64.231.15.43 11:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] height

Is Harvey's height measured to his ears or his head top? :S --Homfrog^{Tell me a story!}_{Contribulations} 20:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

• Furthermore, is it 6'8", as in the synopsis, or 6'3.5" in the top section? Ianthegecko 17:29, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

It'd have to be to his head top. The rabbit would also have still been 6'8" (I know they say 6'3.5") in the movie, since Elwood looks up at him. 64.231.15.43

[edit] Related trivia?

I've not seen this movie, but the 'imaginary' 6 feet tall, costume-style rabbit friend theme is also used in the movie Donnie Darko ("Frank") and The Sims 2 computer game (the "Social Bunny", appearing when a Sims social needs aren't being met and his mental health declines) - depictions quite possibly inspired by this film. I'll leave it up to you guys to decide whether they should be included in the trivia. ◄ИΞШSΜΛЯΞ► 16:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pooka stuff=

Okay, I have to correct myself. Earlier I stated that the inclusion of pooka was not warranted in this film, because of Celtic myths basically having nothing to do with Elwood's facination for six feet worth of rabbit. However, upon changing the channel to Turner Classic Movies in which Harvey is playing at this time, and actually hearing Elwood say "Harvey the pooka", I have to admit my own wrongdoings for this page and my own bad edits. So I, and this article, stand corrected. Carajou 02:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Maybe doing your homework next time would be a good idea. 64.231.15.43 11:54, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is Harvey "real"?

My memory of the film is that Harvey is shown to be "real" -- when Elwood asks Harvey to sit down, we see an indent appear in the chair cushion. This is not mentioned in the article. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 15:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Harvey DVD cover.jpg

Image:Harvey DVD cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
