Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a technical marvel, a handcrafted spectacle, arguably the peak of traditional animation. It's also a superb piece of film-making. The story and script is fantastic and timeless, and can be enjoyed by both kids and adults... And I don't mean that in the same way you'd describe modern Pixar and Dreamworks films, essentially childrens flicks with a few dirty jokes... I mean each of these characters have their own story to…

Surprised this movie isn't as remembered or revered from the 1980's pop culture as others. It was a very big deal back when it was released. Still the only time Bugs Bunny & Mickey Mouse have appeared on screen together--even though both studios (Warner Bros & Disney) were so insistent that one character not get more time than the other that had to appear in the scenes together, just to make sure (same thing with Donald & Daffy Duck--that's how…

Its alright. Looks good, especially for its time. There were some funny moments and it was cool to see Warner Brothers and Disney together. I was a little bored but the animation kept me interested. Maybe if I saw this when I was a kid I would have some nostalgia for this.

I had fun and it looks amazing, they did an amazing job blending animation with live action. On top of that it was crazy to see Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny in one scene. On the other hand, I wasn't as captivated as I hoped I would be. Lost my interest a bit and maybe I'm too tired but this movie has so many annoying and loud scenes, even Roger Rabbit himself is a bit annoying in my book. Glad I saw it though and I do consider it a must watch for…

It was very innovative and cool in 1988, nowadays it's not that impressive anymore. And the creepy character portrayed by Christopher Lloyd is probably the reason I didn't like that movie much in the childhood. The movie is a bit weird. Kinda childish for adults, but the story itself and some episodes is not something you wanna show kids. It's much better anyway than today's stupid woke agenda everywhere, but still.

I didn't intentionally wait 25 years to see "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", and I wish I hadn't. The problem is that the blending of animation and live action that was amazing when this movie premiered, now seems nearly primitive. And unfortunately, the story is pretty pedestrian or maybe I just knew what was coming because it's been part of the movie culture for so long. As a fan of cartoons of the past and animation overall, I really thought it…

Technically brilliant. Hoskins is good. Funny at times but the story isn't really that exciting.
