Very Imaginative

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2019)

Hired to find out the reason a cartoon actor named "Roger Rabbit" (voice of Charles Fleischer) is not performing in his usual manner, a private detective named "Eddie Valiant" (Bob Hoskins) discovers that Roger's wife "Jessica Rabbit" (voice of Kathleen Turner) has been "playing pattycake" with a human by the name of "Marvin Acme" (Stubby Kaye). However, not long after the incriminating photos are shown to Roger, Stubby just happens to die a violent death-and everybody suspects it was Roger who did it. Everyone that is, except Jessica who tells Eddie that the entire affair was a setup and that she isn't a bad person but that she was simply "drawn that way". Although not totally convinced that Jessica is as innocent as she claims, something doesn't seem quite right to Eddie and as a result he decides investigate a little deeper. But what he doesn't realize is just how dangerous his quest for the truth will eventually become. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a very imaginative picture which made excellent use of portraying real actors next to a host of cartoon characters. Very imaginative indeed. Likewise, there is also a certain amount of mystery mixed in with the cartoonish atmosphere as well. That being said, I thought that this was an entertaining film and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
