Review of Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) by Philip N — 29 Feb 2012
An excellent film that harks back to the golden age of cartoons and the creators do the amazing feat of having animated cartoon characters interacting with actors. One of the highlights is Mickey Mouse interacting with Bugs Bunny, which states alone what an ambitious film it is.
You would think a film like this is a disaster, think again! This is a masterpiece and Robert Zemeckis - who is one of my favourite directors - dose a wonderful job with the live action scenes. Wonderful special effects supplied by George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic whose work I admire.
Basically there is a town where all the cartoons live called Toon Town and a troubled Rodger Rabbit who is our reluctant hero seeks the help of detective Eddie Valiant after he is accused of murder. Eddie has a grudge against Toons after his brother was killed by one, but can he put the past behind him and help Rodger.
Watch and learn, this is an education on the golden age in on movie; I just have too much to say for this wonderful film. This is a combination of Loony Toons and Raymond Chandler, with slight tongue in cheek.
