Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of the most innovative and enjoyable movies ever made and continues to look amazing even to this day. The seamless way they blended together cartoons and live actors is still incredible and has yet to be replicated in such a realistic way.
Bob Hoskins delivers my favorite performance of his as Detective Eddie Valiant, one of the unsung heroes of 1980's movies. He's a private snoop who gets involved in a murder plot after cartoon Roger Rabbit begs for his help to prove his innocence. Along the way, we meet such famous cartoons as Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Donald Duck, and pretty much every other major player from both Disney and Warner Bros. If only studio cooperation like this could happen again (I'm looking at you Sony and Marvel). Christopher Lloyd is devilishly creepy as the evil Judge Doom, a character who is not entirely what he appears to be and who's final reveal will terrify you beyond belief. I think it's easy to see I love this film and it has been one of my favorites for many years. |
