Technology has advanced significantly since 1988, but Roger Rabbit doesn't just hold up, it wows.

For audiences who grew up with cartoons as a natural part of their moviegoing, the shock may not be the mix of live and animated folk--it may come from the truly revolutionary sight of great icons of rival studios cheerfully rubbing shoulders.

4/4

Imagine watching cartoon characters and relating to them as if they were flesh-and-blood instead of paint-and-ink. This is the slap-happy effect of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and - please - a 24-carrot salute to director Robert Zemeckis.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? rockets from start to finish in a manner that not only seems tremendously innovative, but effortless as well.

I find Who Framed Roger Rabbit a deplorable development in the possibilities of animation -- and a melancholy waste of the gifts of one of our most gifted actors.

I loved all the comedy in it with the toons. I wish we had cartoon characters coexisting with us like in the movies right now.

This movie still hold up TO THIS DAY. What a beautiful blend of live action and cartoon. A movie that got Warner bros and Disney to shake hands is also a crazy thing this movie did. The story is strong with this one. Give a noir style feel that works. This is an all time favorite and to me stands next to a movie like Shawshank redemption as a perfect movie with rewatch ability being at a high. Kids can love it, adults can understand it! This movie hits for all age groups in my opinion. Jessica rabbit of course has to get a mention as the drop dead knockout….and she’s a cartoon. Roger is hilarious among others. If you know the classic cartoons at all there is something here you can recognize. A must watch for all!

Este filme é uma verdadeira proeza técnica para a época e um marco histórico ao juntar os universos da Disney e da Warner Bros. no mesmo ecrã. A mistura entre animação tradicional e live-action envelheceu incrivelmente bem, e a atmosfera de filme noir clássico dá-lhe um charme único. O único filme que eu vi que conseguiu chegar no mesmo nível foi "Tico e Teco 2022"
