Product: Who Framed Roger Rabbit [VHS] (1988)
Rating: 5.0
Great Animation Achievement
"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" single handedly changed the face of animation in live action films. The movie also introduced us to the hottest cartoon character ever (Jessica Rabbit). The movie is directed by innovative directorRobert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Back to the Future) and stars Bob Hoskinsas Eddie Valiant, a private eye who hates toons after one killed his brother. Anyway, Eddie is hired to take pictures of Jessica Rabbit in order to stir some jealousy in Roger Rabbit which will get him to perform better in a movie that he's working on. After Eddie takes the pictures of Jessica with Marvin Acme; Acme turns up dead and the first suspect is Roger. Well, Roger asks Eddie to protect him from the toon-killing Judge Doom (a virtually unrecognizable Christopher Lloyd) and unwittingly Eddie does. The movie is not only well done (animation and such), but it's actually pretty entertaining and funny. A-
