Clever and funny - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

This was a landmark film because it was the first to put cartoon characters into a real setting with real actors. Even the story was pretty good, and I enjoyed all the quirky characters involved. Being 1988, the special effects were incredible. A wonderful movie.

Funny, smart, and genius - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Zemeckis conjures up yet another classic with a story like no other. Bob Hoskins brings up the standard of cartoons with his interaction with them. The toons actually look really cool at some parts.

Nicely done - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Everything was done nicely. The story was original and excititng. The early 1900's era was perfect for this film. When "Toon Town" was shown it was a comical and enchanting moment. The acting was superbly done especially for the era of time. Nothing could make it better than it is.

Great - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

C'mon people, this was one of the most creative, entertaining, and groundbreaking movies of all time. It's one of my all time favorites, and virtually every element is a joy to watch from beginning to end. The opening cartoon is a masterpiece by itself.

Very good combo live action animation film - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

This is a very good film. Has plenty of humor to not only satisfy kids but plenty of smart puns to put a smile on an adult as well. SEE IT!

My childhood movie.. - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

i remember seeing this movie when i was very young i mean hell it came out the year i was born!well when i was little and i watched this and i saw that there was a cartoon town i really did belive that there was a place on earth called toon town i mean i really did think they were real!this movie was really great my favorite part is when daffy duck and donald duck are together playing the pianos together.i hope one day if i have kids they too will enjoy this movie.

Oh yeah! - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!! Who Framed Roger Rabbit was the first time I saw CG really come into play in movies, BUT IT WAS AWESOME!!!! In a 1920s L.A. (including prohibition) where cartoons and humans co-exist, Bob Hoskins plays Eddie Valentine, a cartoon-hating PI, that is called upon by a cartoon rabbit, Roger, to find out where his wife, the cartoon vixen, Jessica, has been going for a few nights. The plot thickens when Eddie finds Jessica with cartoon creator Marvin Acme. The worst was yet to come when Acme gets murdered and his will is lost. If the will isn't found by midnight, the judge (Christopher Lloyd) is going to gain the rights to Toon Town, the home of the lovable cartoons we all know and love, and can use it however he feels fit. Good ending, lovable characters and just outstanding acting and directing make this movie phenomenal.

The original king of comedy - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

I didn't even see Roger Rabbit until I bought the Special Edition and I just loved it. I showed it to some kids and they still love it to this day

What can i say? - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

by dane youssef Gee... What can I say? What can be said that hasn't been said a zillion times about this movie before? By film critics, film buffs, the other user posters on IMDb and every other person who saw this one? But you know what? I'm not here to really promote this movie, or analyze it... I'm here to write my love letter for it. We're all here to share our movie-going experiences, aren't we? Well, f*ck it, here's mine. I still remember being a little prepubescent boy sitting in the theater watching this movie, totally amazed and astounded by what I saw. Seeing this wacky cartoons going through a routine Tom-and-Jerry-type episode... and then... it was amazing how these movie actually tricked you, convinced you to believe that human and cartoons can exist in the same universe and dimension of reality. There are many a great pleasures and moments in this movie, one of them is the duet at a "toon" night club called "The Ink & Paint Club" where Eddie goes to get information about Roger's wife, and the opening act is a dueling duet on the piano featuring two great legends, Daffy Duck and Donald Duck (I doubt there's any biological relation there) together at last. Why did it take so long for these two to get together? Well, they are rival entertainers for rival studios, so... But of course, the dueling duet ends in an all-out war. Come on, we both know the hatchet wasn't going to stay buried very long. The whole movie is worth renting just to see the two great legends, Daffy and Donald, put their differences aside for one memorable dueling piano duet ALONE. "Roger Rabbit" pioneered not only animation and film-making style, but acting, writing, directing and a meshing together of different genres. Imagination, luck, brilliance, skill... it's all been blended so perfectly here... just like the animation and live-action. Funny, sharp, satirical, smart, thrilling, skillful, bright, bold, hard-boiled, colorful... at even at times, a little scary. It one three Oscars, not to mention an Honorary Award for it's Technical Advancements. Hell, it deserved every single Oscar it got! And a few it didn't. It should've won every single Oscar that year. Maybe some from others... God, you know, I still remember finding my little Rescue Ranger toy in my pocket and running in back-and-forth through my fingers... I remember being very careful not to loose it as I watched this. And it was hard, damn it, all of what was going up there on the screen. There's the best of the everything here. Everyone should see it, pure and simple. It's a movie... for pretty much everybody. A masterpiece in more ways than one. So help me God, I cannot think of a better actor for the role of the classic, hard-boiled, rock-bottom, not-too-smooth P.I. than Bob Hoskins. I don't think he's ever played a better role in his whole life. He seems to be a strange collision of Sam Spade and W.C. Fields, in some strange way. Christopher Lloyd proves yet again (as he does in all his roles) that he's one of the most underrated actors in the business. He's known for playing the bizarre, the crazy, the wired. But his ability to play villains, particularly more sedate and low-key ones, is overlooked so much, it's grounds for a discrimination lawsuit. Kathleen Turner is damn perfect as Roger's Mrs; especially considering that all she does here is a voice. Roger Rabbit" pioneered not only animation and film-making style, but acting, writing, directing and a meshing together of different genres. Literature purists and scholars (yes, I mean geeks) will note that this movie is adapted from a novel by Gary K. Wolf, who specializes in science-fiction. For those of you who are enamored with this movie and just learning this, are actively considering dropping this review right this instant and running to your nearest library and bookstore to pick up a copy to read as an addition to the movie or just out of curiosity, I should warn you that the movie is completely unfaithful to the novel. Oh, both are clever and well-written spoofs of the whole "hard-boiled private-detective mystery noir genre," but the two are so completely different, in writing-style, character dialouge, plot, theme, even ending, you wonder why they even bothered to get Wolf's permission and pay him a royalty. Gee, usually these Hollywood types are a little more snaky and know how to exploit all these loopholes. You've no doubt heard the old saying, "You can't please everyone, so don't even bother." Because when you try, you wind up ultimately pleasing no one. Least of all, yourself. It's strange, this movie seems like an exception to that one little rule. I mean, I know there's an exception to every rule, but this is one you're sure is completely iron-clad. This is a movie for everyone. This is a movie that will please everyone. And you know what else? It never got the credit for that. Think about what a big train-wreck this movie could have been. How many things could have gone wrong. How many years Disney and Warner have been at war, all this time, money for a experiment that could have gone worse than than the killer bees and the atomic bomb. And yet, glory be, it didn't. We all live for days like this, filmmakers, film critics... and film lovers. The best part? After it was all over... Roger and Baby Herman went on to star in several of their own cartoon shorts before the movie for real ("Dick Tracy" and "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids"). Good for them.

What i think??? - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

i think that this was a good movie i mean a great movie of all times, what is better then bob hoskins in a film like this his funny and makes you laugh what a guy. i think that there should be more movies like this one here. the hole family loves them and the kids love it. i think this was a good movie to be made and for all the money it made i think it was worht it. thanks again

Mysteriosly goooooooooooood - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Who framed Roger Rabbit an exelent live action meets cartoon movie.It's a mix of mystery,comedy,horror,action, and of course TOONS!Two thumbs up.I really liked how they mixed up Waner Bros. toons with Disney toons.

A milestone in cartoon history here - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is truly quite an amazing movie. Anything that can bring cartoon characters from totally different companies together like this film did HAS to be seen by animation historians or at least anyone who can't stand all those dang Disney sequels.

"the best animated movie of the 80's" - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Everything about this movie is great. The acting, the effects, the animation, everything. No wonder why Steven Speilberg got so famous afterwards. This movie got a ride at Disneyland! So I love this movie. And I will never stop loving it.

Who? - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

I love animated films Jessica was the best every woman wants to be her. Betty boop was cute. I loved the whole plot of it. It's just for silly rabbits like me.

Good job!! - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

i personally like movies were they mix real characters and animated characters i think it really is a hit, if you hate it when they do that then this film probly isnt for you. it has a good storyline and plot. i recommend this film to everyone really its great!

A very good movie - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

This movie is really good. The visuals are also really good for when the movie was released. I like watching cartoons so I liked this movie. It is also a good comedy that delivers some laughs throughtout the movie. It is great.

Fun for the family - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Cartoons and humans together in color wow! It was a great movie for everyone. Bob Haskins stars as the drunk Private Detective Eddie Vilante investigating random murders linked to looney cartonn people. he is also try to evenge his brothers dreadful death in toon-town usa. In order to make the matter worse a fake judge and a group of odd-ball wolves set the famous yet dumb Roger rabbit........................... What about Roger's hot wife Jessica! if I were a cartoon, I'd ***** her hardcore

Wonderful - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was ahead of its time. Before CGI took over animation, this movie with its blend of film noir, animation, humor and outrageous fun is unbelievable. Bob Hoskins who plays detective Eddie Valiant didn't earn an OSCAR nomination for his performance but his performance is pretty believable. Also for first time viewers the appearance of animated icons Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse in a scene together. One of 30 movies that changed my life. Wonderful.

Who framed this picture of roger rabbit? - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

There was never a better Live Action movie with 2D animation in existance. This movie is an instant classic and uses old clique cartoon physics so well it's unbalievable.

Original & entertaining - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

The mix of animation and live action was state-of-the-art back when it was made. It is still amazing to watch, even 16 years later. Bob Hoskins was pretty good, as was the rest of the cast. It was awesome how they used all of those cartoon characters throughout the movie like Bugs Bunny, Goofy, Betty Boop, Mickey Mouse, and many others. Too much innuendos I think for it to garner a PG rating (need I say more than Jessica Rabbit) and a bit too much foul language out of the baby, nothing really bad, but still. Besides that, it was a funny movie with a good idea, although the ending was obvious, but I enjoyed it.

Me - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

I loved Who Framed Roger Rabbit because it was such a funny movie and the people in it like Roger and Jessica were great! And I watched it over and over again, it was just that good.

Wisecracking roger's first cracks at the movies - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

How can you say no to the best movie which won 4 academy awards. The true reason I adore "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is the first time I checked out "Animations in Real Life," or real people meeting cartoons. Bob Hoskins, playing toon-hater Eddie Valiant, fits perfectly when he met with the framed White Rabbit named Roger, who people said he cacked Marvin Acme, the Gag King, which caused sad hittings on Roger's Wife Jessica, who some said cheated on the Rabbit with the ol "Pattycake" routine. Now, the characters, what's with Warner Bros and Disney, we don't know, it was a brainburp on me when I saw Mickey and Bugs parachuting together. Acting is flawless, even for Roger, he's too darn hyper, and makes me wanna cack him. Shooting sludge out of the Acme Factory, burning the shoe with Dips and such, you can say visuals makes you wanna be animated, not like Space Jam, oh no sir. Overall, I would say this movie should be legendary. If you don't like it, then don't say it. I wish Roger Rabbit was alive.

I want to meet goofy! - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Imagine a world where Bugs Bunny was your nextdoor neighbor and Mickey Mouse came to one of your parties. That is the magical world of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a remarkable movie, not only in the visual achievement of the film, but also it stars both Disney and Looney Toon characters. Produced by Steven Speilberg, rights owned by Buena Vista (part of the Disney empire), and directed by Robert Zemeckis, there is a lot of talent involved with this melding of live action and cartoon characters. This, of course, is not the first melding of people and cartoon, one just has to look back at Mary Poppins, but this is the most advanced convergence of real life and cartoon life. The story involves a cartoon rabbit actor, Roger, who is accused of murder. Before Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) took over Toontown (where all of the cartoon characters live, a town that looks like it came out of a child's nightmare), there was no way to kill a cartoon character. But Doom found a way to administer capital punishment for his citizens (by using paint thinner, or course) and Roger is on the lam. He finds aid in a drunk detective (Ed Hoskins) who spiraled down from the heights of the business after a cartoon killed his partner, his brother. The movie features the sexiest cartoon character since Betty Boop, who is also in the movie, in Jessica Rabbit, married to Roger. Why would she marry Roger Rabbit? Easy, he makes her laugh. The story is a pretty standard "whodunnit" movie, but the movie itself is much much more than that. Such a creative merge of hardboiled detective story and cartoons of the 1940s is a joy to watch. And the end of the movie discusses the zany ideas of "stip malls" and "free ways" in such a way to bring out some of the biggest laughs of the movie. A trailblazing movie is enertaining to a point, Who Framed Roger Rabbit has the plot to keep the viewer interested throughout the entire picture.

Pg or pg-13??? - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

This movie is such a classic and i used to love this movie and i still do. but man, some of the stuff in this, "is this PG or PG-13?" parents out there, this is a disney movie so you should trust it, just prepare to 'edit out' some of the stuff in this H I L A R I O U S movie.

Flatbread on the pan with onions - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

i lika this a movie. its good. i know that everyone and their mother and their pet hamster named joe joe has seen this movie. so i wont go into detail about this movie. yes its a review but im just telling you how much i like it and not telling you why. just hafta guess. yap i a meanie.

An animation fan's dream - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

For anyone who grew up watching cartoons (I can't imagine anyone who didn't!), this movie is perfect for you! If anything, it is just amazing to see the unprecedented collaboration between Disney, Warner Brothers, and Tex Avery. Like the geek I am, I squealed with delight when Donald and Daffy duked it out in a piano duel and when I saw the memorable skydiving scene with Mickey and Bugs. It was also fantastic to see other animation legends, like Droopy and Betty Boop. I enjoyed this movie a lot when I was a kid (even though the villain, Judge Doom, scared me a little). As for the adult jokes and innuendoes, they just flew over my head at that time. I just laughed at the baby because he smoked and talked like an adult. Only until I watch it now that I'm delightfully shocked at the adult humor involved. It is a movie that appeals to the older set with its classic characters and modern humor, but kids can still enjoy it by seeing some of their favorite characters. As for the work that went into this movie, I just find it amazing. Bob Hoskins, in particular, deserved an Oscar just for the degree of difficulty he took in the role of Eddie Valiant. Not only did he have to disguise his thick British accent, but also he had to act with invisible characters and make it all look realistic. And what a job he did! As a viewer, you are immersed in this world where people and toons come together. You get so caught up in the storyline and the characters that you don't really take a step back and think that this is just impossible. The actors, the puppeteers, the animators, the directors, and countless other staff members just did a phenomenal job with this movie. It is truly one-of-a-kind, and I don't think we'll see anything quite like this again. Sure, there's been "Space Jam" and "Looney Tunes: Back in Action," but I don't think those movies come close to the innovation and memorable storytelling that "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" achieved. Kudos to everyone involved in this picture. Hopefully someday they can all get together again. I think I speak for many people when I say that we're eager to go back to Toontown!

The original live action film - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

this is so much better than any of todays "live action" films with the toons it has a good story for once ,it flowed well ,you believed that they were in fact living with toons that they were real ,didn't understand why they were in the real world but you still believed it bob hoskins performance was really good believed he was with the toons for the most part ,apart from the extra toons in the back gorund but the main ones at least you believed were real its a very clever film and i can't see there will be anothe rlike it with such diasters as toons back in action

Rather disappointing - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

i was not impressed...no one specifically recommended this movie to me, but it is very popular so i took it upon myself to watch it....and i don't really know why it is so great....it is def more stupid then anything....everything happens in a cliche manner, dropping at the precise moment, without fail....the acting was alright, and the blending of the animation was pretty smooth, but the plot line was just so stupid...i was waiting for it to get better, and it never did...only thing really good was the meshing of Warner Bros and Disney was really neat to see

A classic in the books - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

this is a genuis film it had its weirdness which made it great and its laughter that showed it had a true sense of humor

Oldie but goodie - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

I know this movie is really corny and old too, but i grew up with this one. It is still amuzing to watch once in a while. I love the mixing of the animation with the real world. The director, not to mention story writer, deserve much credit for this one. A very original story line, that could never be duplicated. This was an instant classic, and will be.

Funny and amazing - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

A mystery comedy that has bedazzled me! This movie deserved the Oscars it got! The visuals and SFX amaze me even today! Roger and the toons were just to funny not to laugh. Bob Hoskins did a good job as a detective! Christopher Lloyd went from scientist(Back to the Future) to villain very nicely and greatly! This film is a must see!

Original and funny - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

One of the most original movies of all time.Great from begging to end.It's hallarious with a good story.You'll never see anything like this.It's good for kids but more for adults.

Minority opinion here - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

This was a major hit, and a very well loved movie. My friend and I, lovers of all animation from Betty Boop to The Simpsons, saw it together, and felt the same thing. This is a terrible movie. There is so much unpleasant about it I don't know where to begin. Roger Rabbit is such an obnoxious character, with a horrible voice, that I really wish HE was the one to get killed. But we do see a cute little pair of animated boots who is frightened beyond belief dropped into a vat of acid and destroyed by the laughing bad guy. We see a guy strangled in an editing machine. This is a family movie? The lead character is so manic its as if the creaters thought that by pushing him over the top that it's funny. Well, it's not. My son didn't even laugh. My friend and I both mentioned after viewing this that each time we saw a classic character make a "cameo" we were jarringly reminded about good animated efforts, and wished they were on longer. Who would have thought seeing Mickey Mouse would be a sight for sore eyes? Felt that way to us, but it didn't last long. You may like some of the technical prowess in this film in the way the animated characters interact with the real ones. Ok, the technical effort is what keeps this from being an F. Loud, brassy, obnoxious, and no warm heart.

Will be the first one to diss this movie - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

I really disliked this film. The only reason why I didn't give F in this film was the motive of killer and the response of the detective being unique. Besides that, I am shocked to know that I cannot find any critics dissing this film. Yeah, I guess it was fun to watch characters from looney toons and Disney crowd together, but that still didn't improve this film. This film is highly predictable. Why is it that I was bored by the end of the film? Also, if you don't like looney toons, I will not recommend this film.

Yes this is a great movie - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

I am embaressed to admit that I have never seen the ending once out of the millions of ties I have seen it because I have always been scared of doon lol and I could never watch it or I would have nightmares... This movie was very hilarious and very freaky also I think younger kids6 or younger should beware that there is a very freaky guy at the ending but he isn't real so don't worry...;)

The best family movie! - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

This movie was amazing, the way it was writen, the direction... absolutly perfect. It had a story that is wonderful for the family(yet a bit inapropiat) and very memorable!

An animated fan's ultimate dream come true - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Ever wanted to see the "Looney Tunes" on the screen with "Betty Boop" (voiced by Mae Questel), then this is certainly the movie for you. However, due to some studios that loaned their characters to the movie, you won't see a few of the classic characters we love. It's the late 1940's, and "Private Detective Eddie Valiant" (Bob Hoskins) has been hired by the head of "Maroon Studios," and creator of "Maroon Cartoons," "R.K. Maroon" (Alan Tilvern) to get photographic proof of an adulterous affair between "Marvin Acme" (Stubby Kaye), creator of some of the greatest gags in cartoon history and owner of "Toontown", and popular lounge singer "Jessica Rabbit" (voiced by Kathleen Turner), the wife of popular cartoon star "Roger Rabbit" (voiced by Charles Fleischer). "Valiant" gets his proof, and shows the evidence to "Roger," who goes berserk and runs out of "Maroon's" office. The next morning, after a night of drinking, "Eddie" reads the newspaper and discovers that "Roger" has been arrested for the murder of "Acme." Now, despite his grown hatred for "Toons" since one killed his brother (Eugene Guirterrez, in his only movie role and seen in flashbacks), goes in search for "Acme's" last will and testiment that reportedly gives ownership of "Toontown" to his beloved "Toons" as he protects "Roger" from being dunked in "Dip," a chemical solution created by "Judge Doom" (Christopher Lloyd) that is the only thing known to kill "Toons." The first thing you will notice in this movie is how great the cartoon characters blend into the real world. Thanks to some robotic technology that were used to place the animated characters which interact with their human co-stars makes their reality quite convincing. The characters are also nicely animated. The animators did a great job adding shadow and other tricks to make the characters interact with real people and objects nicely. The script is nicely written. It's got great dialogue filled with some memorable lines and some fantastic one-liners that I guarantee will make you laugh. The characters, not counting "Toons," feel like they belong in a film-noir flick, which this movie gets a good chunk of inspiration from. Everything about this film, from the wardrobe to the score, nails the time the movie is set in. And the performances of all the human actors just added to the movie, as they made their performances a great tribute to 1940's movies similar to this one. The only problem I had with the film is that the version I watched was full-screen. There are numerous scenes with a lot of animated action going on that a wide-screen format would be the only way to see everything. A lot of the humor is targeted to the adult audience, but there are some jokes which target the younger members of the audience, as well as the adults. We also get to see many of the comedic bits from various cartoon characters that make a cameo in the movie that helped us grow to love them. There is very little violence, most of which is done for a laugh. But there is no blood anywhere to be seen in this film. If you want a good movie to rent this weekend, check this one out. You won't be disappointed.

Awsome graphics and plot for the 80s to perform - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

so funny! ha ha ha! see it. in the beginning you thing you're were tricked to watching a show taped on cartoon network, keep watching! as it turns out, the carton characters are making a movie director, who's human. the director yells cut! and the baby, who is still a carton, says 'whatthe h*ll was wrong w/ that take!??' it even gets better, WATCH the laughs won't stop coming!!!!!!!!

This movie is great - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

First of all it's funny. Combines Real life with cartoons. Some of the old cartoons characters like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Roger Rabbit, and others are in it. The story is good.

I'm in love with this film - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

I'm only 14 and well I?ve watched this movie about 30 or 40 times. I just love it. It starts off with a cartoon when Roger keeps messing up his lines and to stressed because his wife is "cheating" on him. Eddie Valiant(Bob Hoskins)is a washed up detective who HATES toons, only because his brother was killed by one. Well I?m not going to spoil the whole movie for you, but I recommend that a adult be present when watching this film with a young child because of the slight adult subjects that they talk about. All in all, this a extremely funny and interesting movie to watch.

The comedy i'm looking for - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

A memorable cartoon comedy with slapstick humor and many laughs. Detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) is forced out of retirement to help clear a cartoon star of a murder that he claims he didn't commit. Valiant soon finds out that the killer is Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd), the same cartoon character that murdered his brother by dropping a piano on his head. Valiant must nab Doom and his cartoon crew called "the Weasles", before they plan to rid Toon Town of its existence in place of a freeway.

Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Who framed roger rabbit was one of the greatest films ever made! Also won 4 academy awards in 1988, to have all those cartoons characters in one movie was absolutely remarkable and genius. Also for Bob Haskins to change his voice from a native from England to a wise cracking detective that was absolutely remarkable!

Great movie - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

This is a really good movie, but stays as far away as possible from the book. That doesn't make it bad though, because I would have to say I like the movie a little bit better. One of the things I wouldn't of liked was if they kept the whole word-bubble-instead-of-speech. It was good in the book, but would of been bad in the movie. This movie has good direction, mostly good acting, and does a good job mixing live action with animation, especially the humans and "real world" objects interacting with the animation.

A wonderful achievement - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Roger Rabbit starts off like many vintage cartoons in the golden age or the cartoon business. Roger is a nanny who is told by his owner to watch her child while she heads out. And as in all cartoons, as soon as the mother (whose face we never see) leaves, the kid gets out of the pen and climbs the fridge to get to the ever-lusted cookie jar. Roger, in a panic,scrambles to get to the baby, but everything from an ironing board to the pots and pans in the kitchen fall on him. This is the mood of the movie, screamingly funny and at times a touch naughty. It is a true achievement, another greaqt film brought to us by the mind of Steven Spielberg. My grade:95/100

Really good - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

really really really really good. This is laugh out loud comedy. I was cracking up. This movie is fun and is for every age, well some things might and I really mean MIGHT not be suitable for children!

Adult animation - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Before I start my actual review, I must say that this is not a movie for children, even though animated ones usually are fine for children. This has crude jokes and definitely more adult situations...yet it's rated PG. Now this wasn't bad enough to get an "R"...maybe they had no "PG-13" back then. Anyways, the movie was good. Those adult scenes I referred to a second ago were hilarious, only not appropriate for little kids. The theme of how laughter is a precious commodity for everyone is good for all ages. When Valiant enters Toontown it's really funny. The story was predictable in some ways, but in others had some twists in it. It's about Roger Rabbit, a failure in most eyes, who only tries to make people laugh. When his wife is caught with a human man in her room, Roger Rabbit goes nuts and runs out the window. The next morning, that man, Acme, is dead with a safe dropped on his head. Everybody automatically thinks the jealous Roger Rabbit is to blame. After Roger convinces Valiant he's not a murderer, Valiant helps him to escape and find the real murderer, which leads them into Toontown. It was pretty good. The acting was pretty good actually. Valiant (Hoskins) did well as a tough-nosed detective. Also, he wasn't afraid to make himself look like an idiot when he started dancing in front of a bunch of cartoons. Judge Doom (Lloyd) did pretty well too. He was pretty weird by the end. Also, seeing the Disney, WB, and Looney Toons characters all together in one movie was pretty spectacular and I'm sure, groundbreaking at it's time. People about the age of 14+ should be able to handle the jokes probably I think.

Amazingly done - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

A rule was set when live action and animation were first combined: Don?t move the camera. Why, you may ask? There are several reasons. When the camera moves, the animators must also change the toons dimensions according to the camera movement, whether closer or farther. To say the least, the animators were lazy. Spielberg picked up the project and gave it to Zemeckis, whose was proving himself to be a strong director with Gremlins, Back to the Future, and others. Spielberg was the executive producer on the film, and sat and watched the ride. The ride was a three year picture. Over a year alone was spent drawing in the characters in Post-Production, which had many layers, including shadows, colors, expressions, etc. And the end result is fantastic. Who Framed Roger Rabbit takes place during 1947 in Hollywood, where toons work with humans and inhabit their own town, Toon Town. The setup is that Roger Rabbit (voice of Charles Fleischer) has killed Marvin Acme (Stubby Kaye), the creator of the Toons, Toon Town, and series of gags like the hand buzzer, ?Our best selling product,? he exclaims. Apparently Acme played patty cake with Roger?s wife, Jessica (voice of Kathleen Turner), and Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) took pictures of it, driving Roger crazy. If you understood that, you?d see it?s the perfect setup. Roger Rabbit is also somewhat of a homage to old film-noirs. Valiant?s Private Eye company is named Valiant & Valiant, like in Maltese Falcon, which had the last names of the detectives as their company name. Also Valiant, like Sam Spade, loses a partner. The diffference is Spade does not mourn and remains firm, while Valiant?s lose causes him to be stiff. There are other things too. Valiant hops a ride on the back of a trolley, which supposedly takes it?s passengers to Sunset Blvd. The movie is a combination of three things. The first is it is a live action movie, a story. The second is it?s a full-length animated feature. The third is that it is a special effects show. And this whole movie was done without one computer. All the toons were drawn in by hand. There are scenes in which the toons are holding various real life objects. Baby Herman holds a real cigar he smokes, while the Toon Patrol (a gang of weasals) hold real machine guns and handguns. The objects were operated by either machines that were rigged to copy the movement of someone else, or by puppeteers. Then there was the camera movement. The animators had to draw different dimensions for the toons, making them change shape and size constantly. This is probably the only movie to do that. Think about it. In Space Jam, a copy cat, Michael Jordan spends all of the tim in front of a blue screen acting with imaginary characters, but Bugs Bunny and the rest of the gang never really enter the real world (except in one scene where they take something from Jordan?s house). Roger Rabbit is also a combination of many different things. His clothes are colored similar to the American Flag, he has the cheeks of Bugs Bunny, the yellow gloves Mickey Mouse wore in the 40s, and Goofy?s pants. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a beautifully realized movie that will go down as the first movie to fully combine live action and animation seamlessly into a story. It?s surprising to know that at the first test screening of Roger Rabbit, everyone walked out in the first three minutes. Probably because their audience consisted only of 18 year olds with their dates and the opening three minutes is a cartoon short in which Roger Rabbit runs around a kitchen while Baby Herman knocks things over in his desire for a cookie. They left before it is revealed that Roger screws up and a director yells, ?Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut!? Each screening got better and better, and soon Roger Rabbit was the biggest hit of the summer of 1988. I would recommend this movie to anybody. The combination of action, story, animation, and whatnot is superb. Bob Hoskins is especially good, since most of his lines are projected into thin air at nothing (until the toons are added). He should have received the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Cool mixture of live action and animation! - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Reviews

Live action animation about a free spirited rabbit who?s framed for murder, based on a novel by Garry K. Wolf. Detective Eddie Valiant [Bob Hoskins] is forced out of retirement and hired to investigate the fidelity of Jessica Rabbit [voiced by Kathleen Turner], though he is then taken upon by the plea of Roger Rabbit [voiced by Charles Fleischer], who?s on the run and framed for a murder he claimed he never commit. Further plot twists develop as Valiant uncover a devious plan to eliminate all the cartoon characters in Toontown, which is headed by the diabolical Judge Doom [voiced by Christopher Lloyd]. Director Robert Zemeckis original styled filming of mixing live action and animation is welcomed in all circles as it triumphed as one of the highest grossing films of the decade. Academy Awards went for Editing, Sound Effects, Visual Effects and a Special Achievement Award for Animation Direction. Noted was the ending sequence that showcased a full scaled account of Walt Disney animated characters [Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Droopy etc.] and Warner Bros. animated characters [Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Porky the Pig etc.] all entwined on the same stage together.
