Review of Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) by Atheer O — 04 May 2016

I just don't like this kind of blend but this movie should take credit for being the first one to try it. Robert Zemeciks is a director who always dare to step into an unknown territories. He was also the first to use motion capture in movies in "The Polar Express". And lately he recreated New York city his 3D feature "The Walk".

This movie had some good ideas and interaction between its characters but the framework in which everything occurs is simply inappropriate. It should be a family-friendly movie as it contained animation and would be viewed by younger audience no matter what the rating was but the story contained implication of sex, consuming alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Not to mention the detective/ murder story line in which it was wrapped with. Jessica was a character created to diminish females and sexualize their bodies. Not even suitable to be viewed by adults for instance. I really do not understand how such a movie could simply get an PG rating unless there is a preconceived plan to create a horny, ill mannered new generation.
