Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), Toons can do whatever they want

Rating: 4/10 (6 December 2015)

This movie was is an unforgivable attempt at comedy/mystery, it does one thing I have allows found to be wrong and downright unsettling when watching any movie. The film takes place in the big city where the movie industry is booming and cartoons are living members of society, so you have brightly colored cartoons walking around the not so bright real world. The problem I have with this is that the cartoons are where they put all the adult content. The cartoons doing things that are sexual or swearing like a sailor and other adult actions. I find that this was a very common thing during the mid to late 1900s to have cartoon characters doing this sort of thing but not to the extreme that this movie takes it to, i believe more adults watched cartoons during this time so they were catering to them in part.
The problem with having adult content mixed with the good humor is the fact that a larger number of children are still watching these cartoons, children idolize cartoon characters and when they do inappropriate things kids may find it OK. At one point in the movie a well endowed female toon is being searched for something and another toon sticks his hand down her shirt between the breasts, This is a PG film with many well-known cartoon characters in it kids are going to see that and may think that's all right, when if any adult did that he could go to jail on sexual harassment charges.
Speaking of there over use of sexuality, the female I spoke of earlier is brought to the stage at the start of the film as the main entertainment in a bar. She is a singer and a very seductive presence that the all man club just loves. She is over sexualized for the entire length of the movie from seducing men to get her way to having someone stand up off the ground and run into her far too large breasts.
Sexual behavior is not the only adult things the toons are doing. People seem to think that if it's a bright colored moving drawing that they can do whatever and it's not a problem because it's not a real person. The toons do most of the swearing and smoking and are rude and violent quite often, well the human characters do not, except for a select few times. For children that connect with the toons better than the adult characters it could be confusing. Not to mention it is not what anyone is expecting from them making for an uncomfortable environment for many adults.
As far as the human characters they don't have much to them they just don't do much except the two main human characters. The side cast of living people just draw attention to the things I talked about earlier by commenting on the nature or appearance of toons objectifying them every chance they get. It reminded me a great deal of racial prejudice, toons are treated like property and loaned between the different studios. The toon vs human dynamic is very strong though the movie, humans have all the power and rights they can act as judge and jury and executioner if they see fit. these things made it a very hard to enjoy.
