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.
