Ahead of Its Time

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2013)

This film was so ahead of its time as far as effects go, that almost 25 years later, it could not be improved by modern technology. So much energy went into making sure that you believe this you are in a world where humans and toons can intermingle.While not the first film to mix live action and animation, the effects and animation teams made sure to break all the rules and didn't make anything easy for themselves. They had the camera moved so the toons were fully dimensional figures and the characters were subjected to extreme lighting so animators had to pay special attention to the toons' shadows. It's the kind of detail that would be lost on most viewers, but I dare any animator to find fault in the work done in this film. http://amandalovesmovies.com/2012/03/14/who-framed-roger-rabbit
