This was the first movie that I ever saw in the theaters.

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2005)

When I was four years old, some friends took me to the movie theater. Eventually, I realized that there was a character named Roger Rabbit, but I kept wondering why they didn't show more of him. Also, I interpreted that there was a place called "the studios", that someone tried to put Roger Rabbit in some soup, and that at one point, a bunch of characters popped up and started singing. But overall, I didn't understand what the movie was about.
A few years later, I rented a movie, and realized that it was the same one that I had seen in the theaters. I was now able to understand the plot: Roger Rabbit is framed for murder, and he hires detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) to clear him. In the process, Eddie discovers that this all relates to his past. "The studios" were Maroon Studios, the "soup" was Dip, and the characters popping up and singing was the scene where Eddie drives into Toontown.
"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is a most impressive movie. There had been mixtures of live action and animation before, but this brought it to a new level. One of my favorite scenes was when Daffy Duck and Donald Duck were playing "Hungarian Rhapsody" on the pianos and undermining each other's performances.
Anyway, this is a most formidable accomplishment, fun for everyone in every way. As Roger Rabbit would probably say: "P-p-p-p-p-p-lease, ya gotta come see this movie!"
