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.
