Lighting is everything in this film, because there are cartoon characters in the real world, and real people in the animated world.

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2013)

Many elements contribute to the overall theme of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". An example of one such contributing element is the fifties gangster motif of Judge Dooms' weasels. The attire and attitude of the weasels plays to their shadiness or evilness as characters. Also, Roger has an old west revolver with animated cowboy bullets; when he loads and shoots the gun the cartoon bullets seem heroic. Lighting is everything in this film, because there are cartoon characters in the real world, and real people in the animated world. Without proper lighting and music this animation/live shot film hybrid could have been a disaster.
