Editorial Review:
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
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.

5 out of 5 stars Cool Carrots!.......2007-06-16

It's Bogey meets Bugs Bunny when 'toon-loathing detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) is the lone hope of the irascible and irritating Roger Rabbit (voiced by Charles Fleischer) to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder. Set in the 1940s in a shadowy world reminiscent of the noir classics, Who Framed Roger Rabbit combines Disney and Warner Brothers cartoon creations in the same scenes. Randy, red-haired Jessica Rabbit (voiced by Amy Irving and Kathleen Turner) is one of the more enduring new noir characters and as it should be, it's the diabolical dame who's believed to be the root of all evil. The DVD is loaded with featurettes, and is well worth the price. (Fans of the movie should definitely read the book, as well. Warning: it's much more adult than the film!)

5 out of 5 stars Toon-riffic!.......2007-05-24

This is a DVD you should own if you enjoyed this movie that came out nearly 20 years ago! It offers you the inside story on the behind the scenes production and the animation. It was too bad they didn't make a sequel for Roger Rabbit! Bob Hoskins was wonderful in this film. Still,its good entertainment for everyone!

5 out of 5 stars WOW DANG ONE OF THE BEST MOVE FOR SHORE.......2007-05-08

NOW I COULD EASYLY SAY THIS WILL GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE GRATEST MOVE EVER MADE IN THE WORLD THAT IS SO FOR SHORE & THAT IS PUTTING IT LIGHTLY

5 out of 5 stars Can I Rate This One Higher?.......2007-04-11

Everyone knows the story. Rabbit meets girl. Rabbit loses girl. Rabbit save Toontown. Rabbit gets girl in the end. It's as old as the movies.

Wait, 'Rabbit gets girl'?! Yes, it's true, and so well done to be astonishing. Bob Hoskins is fabulous in his role, selling everything he does. And Charles Fleischer as Roger Rabbit sets a modern standard for zany. It's just a shame that Disney went cheap on us so we can't have more Roger Rabbit tales (NYUK, NYUK, pun intended). Get the dip for the fuddy-duddies that let this classic character slip through their hands. More Roger Rabbit!

5 out of 5 stars I love this movie.......2007-03-08

I was so happy when they put this movie on DVD. When I was growing up this was my favorite movie. The cover is so creative and it has great special features. It brings me back to my childhood!
