Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2005)

An excellent film with animation and live-action put together. Golden Globe nominated Bob Hoskins plays Eddie Valiant, a cop who used to work for cartoon characters until an accident involving his brother. He has found out that the wife of cartoon character Roger Rabbit (Charles Fleischer), the very gorgeous and very sexy Jessica Rabbit (Kathleen Turner) seems to be having an affair (although she isn't). She explains that she had to look like she was otherwise someone would kill her. Later he meets Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) who looks like a man not to be trusted, he kills a cartoon character in some special acid. Eddie later finds out that he is the man who murdered his brother. A good comedy and drama with some good giggles and interesting incidents. It won the Oscars Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Visual Effects and Best Film Editing, and it was nominated for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Best Cinematography, Best Sound and a Special Achievement Award for Richard Williams (for animation direction and creation of the cartoon characters), it won the BAFTA for Best Special Effects, and it was nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Production Design and Best Adapted Screenplay, and it was nominated the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical. Jessica Rabbit was number 87 on The 100 Greatest Sex Symbols, she was also number 8 on The 100 Greatest Sexy Moments, the film was number 21 on The 100 Greatest Family Films, and it was number 19 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Outstanding!
