Summary: Forget Contact and Gump, this is Zemeckis at his best!
Review: Zany, irreverent, and smart! Along with the Back to the Future Trilogy and Death Becomes Her, this stands as one of the greatest films by director Robert Zemeckis. Roger Rabbit has more depth of character than expected. Christopher Lloyd offers a chilling portrait of cold-blooded justice gone insane, while Bob Hoskins offers a great straight-(hu)man performance opposite Roger. A pure joy to watch. Dump Gump and cut off Contact, this is Zemeckis at top form.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: A review from Mr. Entertainment Lover
Review: Welcome to a land called Toontown. Everything there is controlled by toons. Detective Eddie must protect Roger Rabbit from Judge Doom (played excellently by Christopher Llyod)when he gets framed for murdering a cartoonist named Marvin Acme. The movie is full of jokes and humor that will make you want to watch it again and again. The cartoon characters in this movie look so real. Keep your eyes open for recognizable charactes like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, and much much more. The cartoon animation is so realistic looking that it seems like real people and toons live together and interact with each other. This movie is a classic and it shall remain that way for years to come.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A worthy dvd for one of the greatest movies ever.
Review: When Roger Rabbitt came out, I was probably too young to ever know what it was. I am sure I saw it many times as a kid, but never saw it as the genius piece of filmmaking that it is. This movie is brilliant in every way, and with the release of the Vista Series DVD I have been reacquainted with it. I am 20 years old now and this is one of my top 5 favorite movies. That is the great thing about this movie, that all ages can enjoy something that this has to offer whether it be the animation sequences or just the fun storyline. I love both.

Here is the story. Someone has killed Marvin Acme, owner of ToonTown and Roger takes the heat for it. Of course he was framed but by who and why? Roger seeks the help of Eddie Valiant, a once prominant detective that fell into hard times after his brother was killed by a toon. Thus was his reluctance to help Roger since he was a toon. But he does help Roger, and he must get to the bottom of the mystery before Judge Doom finds and kills Roger by "dipping him". Eddie feels sorry for the rabbit so he investigates before it is too late, and along the way he discovers more and more about why Acme was killed and that ToonTown itself is in danger. Oh yeah, and Roger was the perfect one to frame because his wife Jessica Rabbit had been seen meeting with Acme before he died. So most people probably know the plot already, but if not it is highly original and entertaining.

This masterpiece couldn't get any better treatment than this, a fully loaded 2 disc set sporting both a family-friendly version on disc 1 and enthusiast version on disc 2. There are so many extras that it will take you a long time to see everything. I admittedly have just begun to see the treasures contained within. But it is obvious that the utmost care was taken to give this the fair dvd treatment it deserved--mission accomplished. This is probably my third favorite movie of all-time, and is without a doubt the best mix of live action and animation. So many great characters appear in this movie such as Bugs and Daffy in the scene where Eddie is falling and they hand him an anvil instead of a 'chute. It is sheer movie magic, and something I could watch all the time and never get tired of seeing it. Director Zimeckis has done a remarkable job with this film, and we also great great performances from Bob Hoskins (Eddie Valiant), Christopher Lloyd (Judge doom) and pretty much everyone else appearing in the film with the addition of the voices of Roger and Jessica who were terrific. To me this is a perfect movie so if you havent seen it before rent it, and if you like it then buy it. If you are a fan then you must own this dvd. It is truly a great thing and this dvd set presents it in all of its glory, the way it should be done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tonsa 'toon fun!
Review:

I was 10 when "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" came out and it is just as much fun to watch now, maybe funnier because I missed some of the humor back then. Roger's a riot and his wife, Jessica Rabbit ("I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way"), is truly a toon vixen. Bob Hoskin's Eddie Valiant is sent to find out the truth when the owner of Toon Town is murdered after playing patty-cake (literally) with Jessica. Everyone assumes a jealous Roger did it and that washed-up detective Eddie can't hack it anymore. There is lots of subtle humor, like when Eddie asks for a scotch on the rocks in a 'toon bar and instead of ice he gets actual rocks. Eddie seriously hates Toon Town because his brother had a piano dropped on his head, but he eventually becomes pals with Roger, overcomes his hatred of Toon Town and clears Roger's name. Christopher Lloyd's Judge Doom is perfectly creepy and his squad of weasels are funny as they try to stop Eddie and Roger from discovering the truth.

The interaction between the live actors and the toons is seamless, probably why the movie won four Oscars. The behind the scenes features and commentaries are great, the entire 2-disc set is incredibly well-thought out and packaged, making it a must-have for the fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not just good, but 'drawn that way'
Review: Eddie Valliant (Bob Hoskins) is an LA detective who may be the only person in town who doesn't like 'toons' those loveable characters who star in cartoons and movies and make us laugh.

When R.K. Maroon (Alan Tilvern) calls Valliant with a 'toon case, Valliant initially refuses. Maroon prevails and Eddie discovers cartoon bunny Roger Rabbit's (Charles Fleisher) wife Jessica (Kathleen Turner) playing pattycake with novelty mogul Marvin Acme (Stubby Kaye).

Acme subsequently ends up dead and Roger's framed. If Eddie Valliant can't save him, he'll be 'dipped' by Judge Doom (Christopher Loyd) and go out of existence.

Whan ensues is a madcap chase through human and toon-town. The film is every bit as funny as it was in 1988 even if the at-that-time-state-of-the-art animation is a bit dated now. "Roger Rabbit" is definitely a must for anime collectors.
