A Hollywood treat and a technological advancement

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2011)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit features filmmaker Robert Zemeckis at his best. The combination of cartoons and real-time is something not done prior or after this film so successfully. It's a lovely and cheerful film that does not pretend to be anything more than pure entertainment. Zemeckis also keeps his film in check in the sense that he does not let the new technology overwhelm his film's images or storytelling. That is what keeps this one so effective and masterful, unlike many films in the 21st century. The animation put against the real-time looks amazing because it does not come across as fake or industrial, it looks real and that is what establishes our credibility, even when we realize how far-fetched this fantasy is.
