Who Framed Roger Rabbit...Humorous from start to finish!

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a humorous movie that makes you laugh and keeps you wanting more.  It was directed by Robert Zemeckis who prior to this was best known for Back to the Future which I will be reviewing later so I won't tell you anything about that now.  Who Framed Roger Rabbit is loosely based on a novel written by Gary K. Wolf, while Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman wrote the screenplay.

This movie was very enjoyable to watch.  It is set in the 1940's in Los Angeles. It is a world were Humans and Cartoons both exist which to me would be awesome. A famous toon known as Roger Rabbit (Charles Fleischer, voice) thought he had an easy life that is until he discovers that his wife, Jessica Rabbit (Kathleen Turner, voice) is having fun with R.K. Maroon (Alan Tilvern), after that things get really bad for Roger as he is now accused of murdering Mr. Maroon. Roger must now go to detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) , who has it out for toons for killing his brother.  Even though he doesn't want to he decides he will help Roger, escape from Judge Doom, and even try to clear Roger's name, in order to do this, he must travel all over L.A. and even into Toontown.

 

The scene pictured above is one of my favorite in the movie.  Earlier Roger Rabbit slaps the handcuffs on the two of them which makes things very difficult for as far as navigating around L.A.  Then they get to a safe place to try and cut them off and Roger just slips his hand right out of them.  This makes Eddie very angry and Roger told him he could only do that when it was funny, which it was.

The special effects in this film were flat out amazing.  Throughout the movie you truly believe that toons and humans live in a world together because between the acting, animation and the editing of the scenes it was flawless.  This movie won an Oscar for Best Film Editing for Arthur Schmidt's work on the film as well as one for Best Effects, Visual Effects for the work by Ken Ralston, Richard Williams, Ed Jones and George Gibbs.
Overall I would give this movie an A because for 1989 you don't see anything like this as far as special effects and acting.  This movie was all around an enjoyment to watch and if you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend that you do.
