About this movie

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.

Literally my childhood right here. I remember watching this as a kid on cassete and even now I honestly can't believe how this movie came out in 1988, it was way WAY ahead of its time. Very glad that I still have the cassete for it as well to when I watched it with my brother during our childhood when we were kids. Like there was nothing that could compare against it, not even its style, effects, and not even technology like CGI existed at this time, like this wasn't even CGI at all, like literally no other movie was nothing like it. It was on its own, in its own world, category and etc. This was way before CGI was even a thing. Like its so amazing how much they accomplished back in the day when they first came out with this. They were literally one of the first to do it as well. Pure nostalgia, and memories from my childhood of watching this as a child. Such an underrated film that you honestly could keep going and going on about constantly like I am right now, talking about how amazing it is, what it meant to me as a child as well as now and much more. Even the actors were amazing, characters, the animation itself, the storyline, the soundtrack and so many references to other films as well as characters like at least to me this was an amazing film, and if anyone does complain I don't see why they would since its undeserved as well as shouldn't be criticized. This is honestly such a classical film. Like even now I haven't forgotten about it when I watched it during my childhood when I was just a kid on the VHS, on cassete. Kids nowadays don't even know how it was back in the day, and how amazing movies like these were. Like what a time this was. They just don't make movies like these anymore either. Truly one of a kind as well as legendary. Such good times, and what an amazing time it was like I said. Like I could just keep going and going on about how much this film just means to me as well as my brother when we watched it during our childhood as kids and what it still means to us. Truly a spectacle of unlimited words to say, describe, explain and talk about. Not trying to spoil it either.

A gem of a film. Still glad to have it on cassete, and I'll never forget watching it when I was younger as a kid during my childhood. Extremely underrated this film was, and extraordinary especially with the effects they had. When it was released there was almost nothing like it, as not many films were able to have this style, and effects as the technology like CGI didn't exist yet, and this film accomplished so much for it's time. Top tier actors, characters, animations, storyline, soundtrack and honestly to me it was perfect. A true classic, worth watching. I'll never forget this film, and it's sad seeing the actors, and creators who made this possible, go, but it is what it is. Legend of a film. They don't make these anymore, but what a time it was.

An amazing timeless classic. Remember, this movie was made BEFORE CGI was a thing, and still holds up today. Not only was the cinematography terrific, the story and the characters will also leave you enthralled. A great movie for all ages. A lot of us remember this from our childhood but there is plenty of subtle humor for the adults. If you havent ever seen the movie or havent seen it in a long time, definitely give it a whirl you wont regret it!
