Benny the Cab
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benny the Cab is a fictional character created by Gary K. Wolf who first appeared in Who Censored Roger Rabbit? in 1981. In the story, Benny was a Volkswagen Beetle and had a very minor role in the story.
The Walt Disney Company and Amblin Entertainment improved and expanded on Benny for the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In the movie, Benny is an anthropomorphized taxi cab that takes Roger where he needs to go. Unlike most of the prominent supporting characters in the movie, Benny doesn't appear in the cartoon shorts (although an anthropomorphic ambulance that appears briefly in the Tummy Trouble short does have some resemblance to Benny). He does appear in the Roger Rabbit comic book and had his own feature once in the second issue of Roger Rabbit's Toontown. Benny also has made occasional appearances on the newer House of Mouse series as a guest.
At Disneyland, the attraction Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin has guests ride a spinning cabs made to resemble Benny.
