Product: Who Framed Roger Rabbit [VHS] (1988)
Rating: 1.0
I love the film, loathe this disc
I have not seen this film on DVD, as nearly every review I have read has advised otherwise, but I can say that to release a featureless disc of one of the most technically significant films of all time is nothing short of travesty. I'm ignoring the fact that Disney actually removed footage from this film, and we're not talking about the infamous laserdisc edition. Is it possible for Criterion to get their hands on this? They did do the super edition of "Armageddon", now let's see them work on a film that actually deserves it. I don't care if it costs $60, issue a two-disc set with commentaries (by Zemeckis and Richard Williams, the great animation director who was completely screwed over on his labor of love, "The Thief and the Cobbler), an extensive documentary, every piece of promotional material, an anamorphic transfer, a guide to all the cartoon characters who appear, and, while we're at it, how about those three "Maroon Cartoons" (Tummy Trouble, Rollercoaster Rabbit, and Trail Mix-up) that were until recently available on video and laserdisc before the Mouse house decided to pull them off the market. All right, I've ranted long enough. The point is, put out an edition of this film that truly does justice to the film itself and people will spend the necessary currency to obtain it. May the dream of an ultimate "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" DVD one day become a reality!
