Who Framed Roger Rabbit - 7 stars out of 10

Who Framed Roger Rabbit - 7 stars out of 10

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is an incredible feast for the eyes and is one of the greatest artistic accomplishments in 1980's cinema, convincingly splicing together the real world with the cartoon world. Richard Williams deserved his Special Achievement Oscar and the labor of the animators and editors were rightfully awarded with three Oscars. You won't want to look away, trying to find some flaw between the real footage and the animation. You will not find one. Not to mention the excitement of seeing many of your favorite animated characters appearing in the places that you would least expect. One might think that this type of film is "below" directors/producers like Spielberg and Zemeckis but it takes two genius minds like that to do a convincing job with this script. All of the actors interact well with the cartoon characters, Charles Fleischer's voice acting as Roger Rabbit is incredible, and the animation of Jessica Rabbit = wow (and most guys will probably agree), not to mention Mel Blanc in one of his final performances, voicing the classic Looney Tune characters! If you think that "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is a children's movie, you are going to be surprised by the grit and intensity brought into the cartoon world.
