Originally released in 1988 this film received 4 Academy awards (Best film editing, best sound effects editing, best visual effects, special achievement in animation direction) and was the first film to feature a combination of live action and traditional cell drawn animation. Before any of the other big budget animation films of the 90’s (think the Little Mermaid, The Lion King, etc.) there was Roger Rabbit. This film spawned the animation revolution of the 90’s and there still to this day is nothing like it. One pa...t slap stick comedy and film noir equals a whole lot of fun for you and old as this is not your everyday kids cartoon. The computer animated film of today are great but, after watching Roger Rabbit and remembering just who well shot, directed, written and drawn this film is you can’t help but get nostalgic for the good old days of traditional animation.

Toon star Roger is worried that his wife Jessica is playing patty cake with someone else, in comes washed up detective Eddy Valant to spy on her. But the stakes are quickly raised when Marvin Acme is found dead and Roger is framed for his murder. On the way to redemption we uncover a sinister plot to wipe out all of toon town for good. A movie for young and old alike truly one of the best films to ever come out of Hollywood and Robert Zemekis.
