Summary: Who doesn't like Roger Rabbit? This movie is classic!
Review: Amongst the numerous all-time favorite classics of mines, 1988's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" stands out brightly against almost every other all-time favorite movie of mines. The reason "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" stands out in this case is not only is it fun, but brilliantly joins together two separate worlds, the real world, and the toon universe in such a brilliant way, there's no way one can resist loving every moment of this classic. The plot revolves around a humorless and even cold-hearted ACME detective named Eddie Valiant (Played by Bob Hoskins) who is on a case to investigate the murder of toon president Marvin Acme and also the killing of his brother by a 'toon' which has embittered Eddie against associating with the toon world. Unfortunately for him, much to Valiant's disgust, he is sought after for help by a toon who is one the run, being considered the prime suspect but the truth is, a criminal crime lord named Judge Doom (Played by Christopher Lloyd) is the one who is responsible for the murders of Marvin Acme and also of Eddie's brother and not only that, Doom is on a spree to take over toon town, destroy the 'café district' and replace it with a super freeway, jammed with smog-generating traffic, & lined with gas stations, billboards, and giant strip malls 'as far as the eye can see'. Now with the help of the twitchy Roger Rabbit, Detective Valiant is now on the case to foil the evil Judge Dooms plans, and save both the 'real' world, and the toon universe from his malicious ambitions. I just don't know where to begin to explain the high level of brilliant casting and great plot that propels this already great movie to unforgettable classic status. Each of the two separate worlds, the 'real' world, and the toon world, are just in a chaotic state of fun as Roger Rabbit and his sidekick/nemesis team up in their fight against their common enemy Judge Doom and his 'toon' thugs and to find out who is/was responsible for the murders of Marvin Acme and Eddie Valiant's brother. From here, it's an incredibly wild and often hilarious ride as they go on their mission to stop Doom from being able to take over the toon world and build his 'superfreeway' and urban sprawl 'as far as the eye can see' and turning the toon world into a giant, smog-ridden suburb. Christopher Lloyd's eccentric personality reaches it's peak with his awesome and chillingly funny role as the main villain Judge Doom. From what I'm guessing is that those who were involved in the making of this classic went through painstakingly hard work, drawing over 840, 000 animation cels to create the characters and then they were eventually incorporated into the live action shoots and voila! You have a brilliant yet laugh-inducing classic. I don't know about you but the crew must have had lots of fun making this movie. In the end, it all results in an amazing and extremely hilarious classic for the ages. "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is one of the best movies that 1988 produced. Not only does it bring lots and lots of laughs but combines the humor with a mix of brainless but intelligent dialogue and outstanding storylines.

Summary: Roger Rabbit with so many cursing language!
Review: Roger Rabbit and his beau-T-FUL cartoon wife Jessica are really great amazing cartoons and me and my little niece have seen the original Roger cartoons so i decided to rent this movie out in Blockbuster since I never saw it back in the 80's cause I wasnt alive back then so when me and her watched it we loved the acting and stuff but after the movie my niece started using the words...alot, and that is just the directors fault. This cartoon movie should be rated PG-13 but still The Looney Tunes, Roger & his gang, and Disney combined and made this movie worth seeing! Good Job and I would of rated it a 5 if the movie didnt curse that much.....

Summary: Great movie that looks great on DVD
Review: Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a cutting edge film in its day, and is still a classic. And it looks absolutely fabulous on DVD!!! I love the fact that you have the option of watching it in widescreen or full screen, because some of us don't have big, widescreen, digital TV's yet. And even after all of this time, this film still delivers the laughs.

Summary: Chinatoon
Review: I would guess everyone in the world has seen this film at least once, but if YOU haven't, DO IT NOW!!! (in a perfect world those words would pulse out at you and turn several color shades-maybe a rubber mallet would jump from the screen and pop you on the forehead for emphasis). Only a couple of the reviews I've read allude to the influence of Bob Evans' (and Roman Polanski's) Chinatown on Who Framed Roger. . . If you haven't seen Chinatown, do, then watch Roger again-it's even more hilarious.

Summary: A Gem With Two Small Flaws
Review: Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is a wonderful movie that has delighted movie-goers of all ages. It is a gem. Before buying this DVD, note that it is not a completely faithful reproduction of the original theatrical release. It has been censored (by Disney). The censorship involves animation in two separate scenes. Two scenes, both involving Jessica Rabbit. If you are a movie purist, or simply object to censorship of material that was widely available on the big screen more than a decade ago, then this disc might not be right for you. However, the movie is a treat even without those missing frames of animation. And you might not consider censorship a big deal. But it is nice to know what you are getting before you commit to the purchase.

Summary: A Classic Film On A Great DVD.
Review: After BACK TO THE FUTURE, Robert Zemeckis proved once again to be among the best directors in the business. WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is one of those films that defines the word "classic", and if not, it certainly comes close. The whole idea is ingenius! Get this...Hollywood, 1947: Humans share their world with living animated characters dubbed 'Toons. Brilliant! And it must be said that it would not be so brilliant if the effects were any less than they are. The filmmakers have done the miraculous, by seemlessly combining cartoons and live-action. You thought the combination MARY POPPINS or BEDKNOBS & BROOMSTICKS was flawless? Well, you ain't seen nothing yet. You are truly swept away into this world, and never, not EVER, do you stop to consider how this is possible. But the film is far from just an excuse to show off effects (like so many modern films are). No, the plot keeps you guessing, and everything is so compliated and fits so well together that I keep understanding more and more every single time I watch it! The actors are extremely talented, and work so well with their animated co-stars it's nothing short of mind-boggling. Bob Hoskins is very entertaining as anti-sober P.I. Eddie Valiant, and Christopher Lloyd shines as Judge what's-his-name. But, of course, the real star of the show is Roger himself; his mere existence is a masterpiece of idiocy! And I could not possibly write a review for this film without mentioning Jessica Rabbit.....without a doubt the hottest cartoon to appear on paper/the silver screen. A highly recommended film, and an absolute must-see! I'd only owned one VISTA Series title before buying WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT, and that was TOMBSTONE: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT. While that DVD had a spectacular transfer with seamless picture/sound quality, I was a bit disappointed with the extras. It is the same with this one. Though the picture quality isn't what I'd call seamless, it's the best the film's ever looked (at least since it's original release). The sound quality is fine, however. The special features, while informative, are not up to the preferred standard. Then again, all special features seem this way after owning/viewing The Extended Edition of LOTR! Conclusion: If you're a fan of Robert Zemeckis...well, this is one of his most famous (and certainly most ground-breaking) films! I you're just a fan of the film, see previous praise. If you're a fan of special edition DVDs (especially the VISTA Series), as long as you don't get you're hopes up too high, you'll be absolutely fine.

Summary: Worth every penny.
Review: For fans for Roger Rabbit, this DVD is worth it all. The best part is the digital soundtrack, which sounds wonderful! The extras are fantastic, especially if you've ever wondered ... "how the heck did they DO that?!?" A great addition is the three additional Roger Rabbit cartoon shorts that came out later. Enjoyed it all!

Summary: IF YOU LIKE MOVIES & CARTOONS COMBO, YOU WILL LOVE THIS.
Review: I like this movie because it's.......Well it's not like just any other movie. I must say they did a wonderful job of making this DVD, and I like all the special features like the standard/wide screens versions and the trivia questions, and the surround sounds is just out of this world. If you like movies and cartoons combo, you will love this.

Summary: Hey, 'who EDITED Roger Rabbit'?
Review: One of the film's most adult moments with Jessica Rabbit has been cut up and out by Eisner's Disney in the battle to make empty uncontroversial familial fluff. It was a shocking scene and made you take the film more seriously... not anymore. I could see them taking it out of the kid's version if they mentioned it, but the Enthusiast's disc being edited? Thanks a lot Disney. Learn not to play with scissors... or history. I appreciate getting FULL and WIDE screen in one package. They should have given all of the deleted scenes in this, and brought back the original frames and full scenes, like customers expect. It's been like this since the VHS release... Extras should not have been crammed onto one disc. Anyway, beyond that, this is a Great DVD with fine extras. You may want to wait for a better edition with all deleted scenes...

Summary: A wacky, fabulous film!!
Review: Talk about fun and farce!! This is a great little movie with again, the wedding between animation and actors. I believe it's one of a long list of Disney firsts. Bob Hoskins does a marvelous job trying to juggle lines to cartoon characters, and in particular "Roger" and the gang, not to mention the "femme fatale" (Jessica). There's a lot of the "old kind gangster/private eye" movie in this film, and it flows quite easily. You can actually believe that this happening before your eyes. Then, naturally, you have the "villains" and these are the most outrageous villians - little rats who are more like the Keystone Cops, but dirtier, to use the old Jimmy Cagney phrase. And lastly we have the Villain, who is really a "toon" underneath his human facade. That's right, but I can't give too much away, here, because as you know, many good crime novels have to be read by the reader instead of "given away." Let me assure you, though, that seeing Christopher Lloyd as a "toon" was a hoot. His eyes which popped out of his head bigger than life, and the feats he could do as a "toon" were amazing. Then, Toon Town is the place to be. You're always happy all the time, and no one ever dies. Sounds a little like Heaven, doesn't it. And at the end, everyone lives happily ever after, and Roger gets the girl in the end. It could only happen in a cartoon. Wonderful movie!!!
