Distracted by his wife's alleged infidelities, Roger is one falling anvil away from being fired -- and studio head R.K. Maroon wouldn't mind hastening the process. So the befuddled bunny hires down-and-out detective Eddie Valiant to help him get back the sultry, bosomy Jessica Rabbit. At first Valiant refuses -- he's got his own reasons for hating the 'toons. But when the studio tycoon Maroon is found dead, Roger's one marked rabbit. So Valiant ignores his better judgment and tries to save the harassed hare from a nefarious Judge just aching to terminate him. For Roger's sake, he ventures into a dangerous and tempting space, the place where anything can happen and imagination rules... the magical, maniacal 'Toontown. [More]

The opening cartoon upstages the movie that emerges from it. Full Review |

|
Great fun to watch -- and not just for kids. Full Review |
|||
|
It has become deservedly recognized as a cinema classic. Full Review |
|||
|
A Hollywood entertainment that lived up to its hype. Full Review |
|||
|
While flawlessly delivered, it's overkill -- so loud and excessive, it makes our head swim. Full Review |
|||
|
The real stars are the animators, under British animation director Richard Williams, who pull off a technically amazing feat of having humans and Toons seem to be interacting with one another. Full Review |
|||
|
Yet with all that, Zemeckis' $70 million technical tour de force doesn't get pulled down in the undertow of its own cleverness. Full Review |
|||
|
Supremely entertaining -- especially for adults. Full Review |
|||
|
Not as good as the book, but nonetheless superb. Full Review |
|||
|
It'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. Full Review |

Hoskins está fabuloso, e deveria ter sido indicado ao Oscar. O roteiro decepciona ao não explorar totalmente o potencial do projeto e ao criar uma trama policial pouco interessante. No geral, porém, tem chances de virar clássico.
