Summary: Great Movie, Blah DVD
Review: I bought the DVD because I love the movie. I still love the movie, but the DVD is not anything special. There are no extras and the picture and sound quality remind me of the video cassette copy I own. In essence, there was no reason for me to go out and buy the DVD because it is exactly the same as the cassette tape. I love the movie (hence, that is why I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars) but the DVD needs a lot of work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delightful!
Review: I saw this in the movie theater and it was fantastic! I got the video a few years ago and to be honest I haven't watched it very often but last week I watched it while I was sick with a very bad cold and it cheered me up, it's definitely a wonderful pick me up! Roger Rabbit voiced by Charles Fleisher is hysterically funny and Bob Hoskins is great as Eddie Valiant! I'm thinking of getting a DVD player and I was thinking of getting this on DVD but since reading all the reviews warning about the poor quality and that they edited scenes out I would like to know what exactly it is that is supposed to have been edited out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible !!
Review: Not only is Jessica the sexiest woman ever, the movie actually gives a little insite to life in Los Angeles during the time before the freeway system we all know. Most people didnt know LA actually did have a great mass transit system at one time so even though this movie pokes fun at a lot of things it is based on some truths. the coupling of Disney and Warner Bros cartoons was also a first, Mickey and Bugs in the same scene. and did I mention Jessica?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Top film, very poor DVD
Review: I have loved this film ever since it was first made, but this DVD really does not do it justice.

Despite being called a 'special edition', it contains not a single extra feature. The widescreen format is not anamorphic, which means that the MPEG aspect ratio is 4:3 and the picture resolution of the viewable area is lower than it should be. The quality of the film print used is poor and contains scratches and white speckling. The film has also had some bits edited out, so I suppose you could say it contains a negative number of special features: i.e. some normal features taken out. This is a shocking misuse of the format because the DVD standard contains the possibility for having optional scenes which can be shielded from young viewers, so why wasn't this used?

I doubt it will be long before the next version comes out, the 'collector's special edition' or whatever they will call it, so my advice would be to wait for that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A brilliant idea!
Review: In a funny and touching story revolving around "Toontown" the city where everyone from Bugs Bunny to Mickey Mouse to Betty Boop lives in this movie, the top cartoon companies came together to create a lovely (and, of course, hilarious) story that will have all cartoon fans cheering, not only for the characters' roles in this movie, but also to see cartoon characters from rival studios side by side on the screen. In particular are shots with very few cartoon characters, each from a different studio. My favourite example is where one of the human characters falls out of a building in Toontown and Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse are skydiving and decide to help him out by giving him a "spare" (which, of course, turns out to be a tire!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Fun!
Review: I don't really know what to say about this movie, besides the fact that YOU DEFINITELY MUST SEE IT!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A modernist, anti-HUAC film noir classic.
Review: Zemeckis' masterwork boasts all the requirements of film noir - loser detective, femme fatale, patsy, shadowy noir look, corrupt big business interests etc. - and is yet really an anti-noir: the negative stereotypes and expectations are reversed; the dissolution of boundaries and the breakdown of reason, so traumatic in noir, is here celebrated.

This is the work of the animation half, a genre hostile to boundaries and reason, even if the thriller plot here means it is not quite as liberated as the average Looney Toon. Not only is this possibly the first blockbuster film to allude to Joyce's 'Ulysses' (the Toon Town/Night Town sequence), but it is also an allegory of the McCarthy era, reminding us how animation bravely protested when live action kept ingloriously schtum.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action packed fantasy!
Review: I really enjoyed this movie, especially the quality of the DVD. You'd be hard pressed to find a more entertaining movie. Adults and kids enjoy this movie immensely. Its a classic about a mystery in 1940's Hollywood. The twist is that in this movie, cartoons actually exist and interact with people. They get paid, just like any actor. There is impressive special effects with great acting. But I wish the DVD had some kind of behind the scenes or ducumentary, or even the trailer. The best thing about this movie is a complete dynamic story from beginning to end. It's an action packed rollar coaster ride. Its really funny and can get really suspenseful. Dont miss out on this epic in fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great film-unimpressive DVD
Review: For such a great film the DVD to it was disappointing. NO extras. The movie is only 13 years old. There could have been such extras to put on the disc. Disney needs to go to extras school.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best ever
Review: You can't say enough about this movie. The characters come to life in such a way that you forget that they're animated after a while; they become fellow actors to Bob Hoskins and company. The cartoon short at the beginning is also a hoot, but it's just warming up for the insanity and anarchy that follows. My favorite part: Patty Cake, and when you see it, you'll know why.
