Judge Doom yellow-tinted glasses; he also carries a pocketwatch, as well as a cane which is revealed to be a saber in disguise, for use in emergency situations. During the writing process, Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman were unsure of whom to include as the villain in the plot of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". They wrote scripts that had either Jessica Rabbit or Baby Herman as the villain, but they made their final decision with newly created character Judge Doom. Price and Seaman based the scheme of Judge Doom of destroying Toontown for a freeway by a planned unproduced sequel of
Valiant (film) about The Magic Roundabout. He also explained the attraction to making the film in Britain, saying "It would have been $3 million cheaper to make in LA but we had $10-12 million in tax and co-production money that we were able to attract because we made it here." Additionally, the bonus of locating to Britain was that the UK Film Council offered "Valiant" a record-breaking £2.6 million grant. "Valiant"s budget of $35,000,000 is considered low in comparison to other CGI productions, with films which Williams had previously worked on, such as "Shrek 2" having a budget of $150,000,000.
