Reviews for Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Top CriticIt's still a superb film, a rare big budget blockbuster that concentrates on a clever story, crisp performances, and brilliant jokes while using its groundbreaking special effects only as window dressing rather than as the main event.
11/15/04
Supremely entertaining -- especially for adults.
01/26/06
Yet with all that, Zemeckis' $70 million technical tour de force doesn't get pulled down in the undertow of its own cleverness.
04/08/06
A spectacular blend of live-action and animation.
03/26/03
Miraculously, the film isn't overshadowed by its technical achievement.
03/17/03
The opening cartoon upstages the movie that emerges from it.

Top CriticWho Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is a technically-marvelous film blending animated, ink-and-paint cartoon characters and flesh-and-blood live actors..
01/01/00
Sheer, enchanted entertainment from the first frame to the last -- a joyous, giddy, goofy celebration of the kind of fun you can have with a movie camera.

Top CriticVisually stunning and creatively superior, Zemeckis's work is frequently staggering and always entertaining.
04/17/01
The first blend of animation and live-action that seemed so natural we felt the characters were real. There's many a lad still harbouring a crush on Jessica Rabbit.
05/02/03
A groundbreaking film, notable for both as a technical achievement and quality entertainment
04/12/02
Wonderfully clever film.
01/01/00
A mix of live action and animation, the $45 million movie is as cunning as Wile E. Coyote and chipper as a flock of cartoon bluebirds.
01/01/00
Top CriticA great film for lots of reasons.
01/01/00
Although this isn't the first time that cartoon characters have shared the screen with live actors, it's the first time they've done it on their own terms.
05/20/03
Top CriticExcellent sight gags, clever dialogue, and improbable waistline.
03/08/03
...an exuberant, funny, inventive, and wholly entertaining piece of whimsy.
03/08/03
A glorious mix of diverse styles, techniques and worlds molded into a cohesive and unique whole.
11/07/02
A Hollywood entertainment that lived up to its hype.
