As Crazy As A March Hare

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2004)

I love this move. It's crazy and enjoyable and a virtual cavalcade of cartoon stars from Betty Boop to Bugs Bunny even if it neglects the existence of TV Toons like Scooby Doo. The recent live action cartton such as Space Jam and the others just don't have the spirit of Roger Rabbit. The plot involves Eddie Valiant, played by the excellant Bob Hoskins, a detective who hates toons, who once more has to enter their world as he gets involved in a murder investigation involving Jessica Rabbit, the most oversexed cartoon ever born under ink and paint. Christopher Lloyd plays the psycho judge who wants to destroy Toon Town. The plot, however, plays second fiddle to the effects, which by now are a bit dated under the computer magic of today's movies. Hopefully, the promised sequel will be all it can be. I also hope that if Warner Brothers and Disney can get together to show their big toon stars together than it will inspire Marvel and DC Comics to put their best heroes together in a live action extravaganza.
