Roger Rabbit DVD -- Version 2
Reviewing the movie: "Who frameed Roger Rabbit" (without the question mark, because it's bad luck) was the "E.T." from the end of the eighties; when this movie was released, almost there was no CGI graphics in the movies (the "Digital era" began at the mid of the 90's); this movie was a land mark in the way of the making special effects and animation (every single animated frame was made with pencil and ink -- everything was drawed), but not only that, it's the first (and maybe the only and last) movie that brings together the Looney Tunes and the "Mouse Pack" among other Toons.This movie was directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump) and produced by Steven Spielberg (Jaws, The Schindler's list) and it won 4 Academy Award (with a special achievement award for animation direction).The plot is about a detective, Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) that must help a Toon to clean his name of the charge of homicide, this toon is Roger Rabbit (Chales Fleischer); in this world, all the humans and the toons coexist hand in hand (even the toons that we saw in all the animated shorts from the 40's and 50's were actor under the contract of the many Hollywood studios); however, all the toons are segregated in a place named Toontown (here, we can see a couple of references of the racism that US lived in the post-war era).The movie is rated PG, because it's sexual innuendo and the mature subject (i feel that this movie is more oriented to adults than kids)Reviewind the DVD: This package contains 2 dvd: Family Friendly (with the Full screen format of the movie and the Roger Rabbit's animated shorts, among other kids oriented to kids, like games and puzzles) and For Enthusiasts (with the widescreen version, deleted scene (the famous "Pig Head"), comparisions before and after the toons where added to the film (specifically the Toontown secuence), production notes, audio documentary, featurettes, etc); the sound is very good (THX certified... even a speaker of mine fall down in the "THX sound"); the case of the dvd was something like a card-box (pretty, but i prefer the plastic cases); in the foreign language support, i feel that it could be better, the movie includes french, english and spanish tracks, but lacks form spanish subtitles (i think that it has french subtitles, but i'm not sure), the worst part is that all the extras has no subtitles at all! (not even english subtitles) so if you don't know english, you're going to suffer a little.Anyway, this DVD is much better that the first (that was released a couple of years, and if you love this movie, you'll love the dvd!
