Editorial Review:

Description:
It's 1947 Hollywood, and Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins), a down-on-his-luck detective, is hired to find proof that Marvin Acme, gag factory mogul and owner of Toontown, is playing hanky-panky with femme fatale Jessica Rabbit, wife of Maroon Cartoon superstar Roger Rabbit. When Acme is found murdered, all fingers point to Roger, and the sinister, power-hungry Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) is on a mission to bring Roger to justice. Roger begs the Toon-hating Valiant to find the real evildoer and the plot thickens as Eddie uncovers scandal after scandal and realizes the very existence of Toontown is at stake! WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is deliciously outrageous fun the whole family will enjoy.

Amazon.com:
This zany, eye-popping, knee-slapping landmark in combining animation with live-action ingeniously makes that uneasy combination itself (and the history of Hollywood) its subject. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is based on classic L.A. private-eye movies (and, specifically, Chinatown), with detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) investigating a case involving adultery, blackmail, murder, and a fiendish plot to replace Los Angeles's once-famous Red Car public transportation system with the automobiles and freeways that would later make it the nation's smog capital. Of course, his sleuthing takes him back to the place he dreads: Toontown, the ghetto for cartoons that abuts Hollywood and that was the site of a tragic incident in Eddie's past. In addition to intermingling cartoon characters with live actors and locations, Roger Rabbit also brings together the greatest array of cartoon stars in the history of motion pictures, from a variety of studios (Disney, Warner Bros., MGM, Fleischer, Universal, and elsewhere): Betty Boop, Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Woody Woodpecker, Droopy Dog, and more! And, of course, there's Maroon Cartoon's greatest star, Roger Rabbit (voice by Charles Fleischer), who suspects his ultracurvaceous wife, Jessica Rabbit (voice by Kathleen Turner: "I'm not bad; I'm just drawn that way"), of infidelity. Directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, Contact), not since the early Looney Tunes' "You Oughtta Be in Pictures" has there been anything like Roger Rabbit. --Jim Emerson



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great comic spin on crime movies and cartoons
This is a very inventive, technically brilliant cartoon. It has a lot of incredibly funny scenes and a great many superb comic in jokes.

For the time this was made, the special effects are stunning. This is a great piece of entertainment.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great DVD of a great movie.
The quality of the film itself isn't in debate; this DVD is a very nice set for any fan. The special features are great, it comes with some nice touches like nice packaging and design. You can tell they put a lot of effort into it. It's not cheap or a cop-out in any way. I bought it for my boyfriend as a present and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for this movie.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Thank you!!!
I am a huge fan of Roger Rabbit! It was great ordering products from this company. Not only did I get it in one piece but it still had all the origional stuff inside. I will definately order from this company again.. Thank you!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Enjoyable Solid Entertainment
This movie is a cartoon bonanza mixed with live action. A ridiculous and roller coaster spoof of the 1940's film noir genre. Cleverly written and executed in so many ways. This a movie the whole family can enjoy.
There are many toons (cartoons) here borrowed from the likes of Disney, Looney Toons etc. You have the typical plot with bad guys the weasels and the good guys Eddie Valiant and Roger. Of course, along with the action you get understated adult humor that children will not get until older. Aside from a few sight gags, the most notable example is the extremely sexy and curvy Jessica Rabbit who says, "I'm not bad, I'm only drawn that way". Shades of Lauren Bacall and Veronica Lake. This why this movie will appeal to everyone. Even to those who they try to frame in real life.
