if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The animated rabbit is accused of killing a man and he is to be punished by "deleting" sentence. His beautiful animated wife and a human private detective are trying to solve this case and save the rabbit and the whole animated world from destruction.For me, this noir-mystery-comedy-thriller to this day remains the best movie that combines live action and animated film. I saw it countless times, never found a flaw, and I could count the qualities until the day after tomorrow. The story is simple but well-written, the combination of the noir atmosphere and the atmosphere of short cartoons is captivating, and one-liners are hilarious. This is the only film in which Disney and Warner characters appear together on the screen, and there are also several characters from other studios. The film has several parallels to "Chinatown" and "Back to the Future", and it parodies or pays homage to many more iconic movies and characters. It is full of awesome details that you have no chance to notice all during just one viewing, and for some it is necessary to watch the movie in slow motion because they are put in single frames.What fascinates me most about this movie is that computer animation wasn't used at all. Everything was done old-school and 326 animators hand-drawn over a million drawings, of which nearly one hundred thousand frames were used in the movie. With 70 million dollars invested, this is the most expensive film of the 80's. It had six Academy Awards nominations, out of which it won three. I must also mention the excellent music by Alan Silvestri (Fandango, Cat's Eye, Back to the Future franchise, Predator, Young Guns II, The Bodyguard, Judgment Night, Forrest Gump, Judge Dredd, Identity, Van Helsing, Night at the Museum, Captain America, The Avengers).I recommend this movie to everyone, and if you end up amazed like me, you can find tons of interesting trivia online. I just spent a couple of hours reading interesting things about this movie and rewinding the movie to find the details I'm reading about.10/10

We will never see another movie like this ever again. So many animation/live-action hybrids have happened before this movie and many tried to capture the success of this movie, but none of them will live up to the masterpiece that is Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The techniques to how they've combined live action footage and animation under the brilliant direction of Robert Zemeckis and Richard Williams is astounding, especially how they did not use the computer technology we have today. Not only that, but the fact that you see all your favorite cartoon characters that have stood the test of time all in this one film. Right down to having Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny together at the same time, the likes of this kind of crossover will never be seen again. Even without those gimmicks, the movie is still an incredibly funny, heartwarming story about a man learning to stop taking out his depression in unhealthy ways and how to laugh again. The characters are lovable and unforgettable, the story is engaging and tightly-woven together, the music is great, and of course, the animation is groundbreaking. If you are fan of animation, this is mandatory viewing. Even if you're just a casual film fan, this is still worth a watch just to see what it's all about. It's a great loony ride, and I'm proud to call it my favorite movie of all time. That's all folks!

Film includes an extraordinary cast of actors: Charles Fleischer (the voice over of Roger Rabbit, Benny the Cab, Greasy, and Psycho), Bob Hoskins (Detective Valiant), Christopher Lloyd (Judge Doom), Kathleen Turner (Jessica Rabbit), the legendary voice artists of Mel Blanc (aka "The Man of a Thousand Voices" who does Bugs, Daffy, Tweety, Porky, and Sylvester) and Mae Questel (who does Betty Boop!), just to name a few....Alternately hilarious and suspenseful, this film is replete with the kinds of throwaway gags, inside jokes, and one-liners that audiences would expect to see in an old-time cartoon short, while at the same time it unfolds into an intelligent who-done-it mystery worthy of Bogart's Sam Spade. Movie represents the apex of 20th century film-making, but it is also wholesome family entertainment that offers something for kiddos and adults alike. This one will still be enjoyed by audiences of all ages long after it becomes an icon in the history books.Overall rating: 9 out of 10.

Steven Spielberg was on a roll in the 80s... first "Jaws", then "Poltergeist", then "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" Which ones best? That would be the most recent one. This one. It's a cartoon about a busty broad who's married to a rabbit (reference to f-ing like a rabbit, rabbits have lots of sex), and she wants to get off one and the subway system is taking over the whole country as a metaphor for the federal government/Illuminati/Anton La Vey's Church of Satan. There's a lot of crude jokes at the expense of the bunny in this movie.The main selling point of this movie is the special effects, which have actually been trumped by more recent and similar fair such as "Ted" and "Ted 2", which are better movies because they are more recent... but still, I've heard it said in the school of film criticism that it is important to pay tribute to the past, and give the old movies perfect scores for trying. With that said, I think this film tries very hard but a lot of it looks terrible. Similar to how movies like "Toy Story" look terrible now even though it sold as a gimmick in the old times because it was a movie made with computer technology. They didn't have computers in the 80s, but this movie has other kinds of special effects like putting fake puppets into the movie.Bob Hoskins from "Super Mario Bros." makes a cameo in this movie as an old-fashioned detective, and he gets his fair sure with the TITular broad. The main character is actually played by a rabbit, and it's a Pee Wee Herman type show when he's involved, and he actually smells a lot. The movie made a lot of money back in the day, and it was kind of a big deal because you could buy a lot of merchandise. A little known fact is that the movie is actually based on a book, and in the book Roger Rabbit was a comic book character instead of a cartoon character. He's a metaphor for a black minstrel which is why he is portrayed as sub-human.
