Product: Who Framed Roger Rabbit [VHS] (1988)
Rating: 5.0
Not just good, but 'drawn that way'
Eddie Valliant (Bob Hoskins) is an LA detective who may be the only person in town who doesn't like 'toons' those loveable characters who star in cartoons and movies and make us laugh.When R.K. Maroon (Alan Tilvern) calls Valliant with a 'toon case, Valliant initially refuses. Maroon prevails and Eddie discovers cartoon bunny Roger Rabbit's (Charles Fleisher) wife Jessica (Kathleen Turner) playing pattycake with novelty mogul Marvin Acme (Stubby Kaye).Acme subsequently ends up dead and Roger's framed. If Eddie Valliant can't save him, he'll be 'dipped' by Judge Doom (Christopher Loyd) and go out of existence.Whan ensues is a madcap chase through human and toon-town. The film is every bit as funny as it was in 1988 even if the at-that-time-state-of-the-art animation is a bit dated now. "Roger Rabbit" is definitely a must for anime collectors.
