A deserving hit

Rating: 8/10 (18 January 2004)

What can I say? Four Academy awards, Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, and Jessica Rabbit! (Kathleen Turner) this was a beautiful and rare collaboration between Disney and Warner Brothers; something I wish they would repeat.
This film is hard to describe to those who have yet to see it. I hope I do it justice.
First off, this is not mere animation. It is a combination of animation and live acting, which works wonderfully together here to weave a gritty, touching story.
Also, this is not for younger audiences. There is quite a bit of harsh language, sexual referencing, and adult innuendo, not to mention some gruesome murders. While there is a total lack of gore, the implications are still there. There are murders, mysteries, twists, and some really strong performances. It is a really gritty story, yet sweet and endearing at the same time.
You will enjoy cameos by Bugs Bunny, Tweety, Mickey Mouse, Bambi, Pluto, Donald & Daffy Duck, Goofy, Droopy, Porky Pig, Betty Boop, and countless others.
Enjoy!
