Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 American fantasy comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis from a screenplay written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman. It is loosely based on the 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf. The film stars Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, Stubby Kaye, Joanna Cassidy, and the voices of Charles Fleischer and an uncredited Kathleen Turner.
I didn’t get it as a kid, but it’s so clearly a metaphor for the decision to build freeways through marginalized communities that happened in real life. Thanks for posting this here, I hadn’t seen this movie in probably 15 years, and it holds up really well. Too bad there wasn’t a real life Eddie Valiant back then.
I fucking loved/love this movie and could watch it a thousand times!
Can’t believe it’s 36 years old.
Watched this in the cinema when I was a kid 👴
Patty cake patty cake.
This movies background is amazing. How they created all the effects was groundbreaking. I love watching the clips of the behind the scenes for scenes like the dish throwing where they created animatronics to handle the actual physical props, and then painted the cartoons over it.
It’s also amazing to me that no one drew shadows on cartoon characters in films until this movie.
Don’t let the 260p throw ya’. It’s totally watchable.
The art deserves better.
Having originally (and repeatedly) watched it on scratchy video tape, it can’t be worse than that lol
