pretty old classic and it shows

Rating: 5/10 (13 April 2014)

This show has a little bit of nostalgia for me. The first time I watched the show, it was with my parents and we were having a fun family night together. It feels very close to the idea of Space Jam in both the good and bad aspects. Now this actually was surprising to me that it was based off a actual book by Gary K. Wolf named "Who Censored Roger Rabbit." In the book though, Roger is the one killed instead. It is unclear why they changed the story line a bit but I actually like this new idea better, making it have a little more suspense.
When we get into the story line, it's a little odd because of how the main character was actually created as a mixture of many different cartoons in and of themselves. Roger has the nut shaped head like Tex Avery, red swatch of hair like Droopy, Overalls like Goofy, a bow tie like Porky Pig, gloves like Mickey Mouse, and cheeks and ears like Bugs Bunny. Even his personality is like Goofy and Daffy Duck in how he always seems to mess up.
On the other hand, Eddie Valiant was a serious character, a private investigator who became a alcoholic when a toon killed his brother. There were many people who the producer wanted but I actually think that Bob Hoskins was the perfect choice in how he looks and acts. It makes him feel a bit more filled out as being the somewhat overweight and once in a while dopey looking private investigator.
The animation is alright for the time it came out, the characters still look rather plastic and its like they tried to hard to make them look 3D. The only really good part of the animation in this is that when they get into toon town, at least they didn't op for the animated toon world rather then the flat panel that Cool World used.
The voices are pretty good, though some of the normal cartoons sound pretty off when they get on stage. I don't think they had the right voice actors for the toons so got as close as they could.
