Product: Who Framed Roger Rabbit [VHS] (1988)
Rating: 3.0
Good Movie, But Did It HAVE To Be Risque?
I have mixed feelings about Walt Disney Pictures' and Steven Spielberg's first (and so far only) collaboration "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" First off, it was a good movie; funny and entertaining. BUT did it have to be full of sexual innuendo and strong profanity (one use each of "Bastard" and "S.O.B.") which are not associated with Disney? I didn't like Baby Herman in this movie. did he have to be so crass, especially in the scene in the hallway (smacking his sexy mommy on the rear and saying, "I got a 50 year-old lust and a three year-old dinky")? And what was that gag about prostate & probate? Totally NOT Disney material. GREAT SCOTT!!! What in the Space Time Continuum is Doc Brown doing in this future?!!! Could have been released as a Disney movie without the innuendo and strong profanity. "The Rocketeer" should have also been released via Touchstone Pictures, as it had a strong profanity and innuendo. Rated PG, but should have been rated PG-13. Walt Disney himself would be ashamed of this movie.Walt Disney Pictures isn't known for making this type of movie, so thankfully it was released via Touchstone Pictures. Nor is Steven Spielberg known for making junk like this. Former Disney head Michael Eisner was smart to release this under the Touchstone Pictures' banner, but why were Walt Disney Pictures and Steven Spielberg still involved after they read the script? Stick to Disney's classic animated and live-action films, and avoid this hybrid mess of a bad joke for a movie.
