Technology has advanced significantly since 1988, but Roger Rabbit doesn't just hold up, it wows.

Sheila Benson

Los Angeles Times

For audiences who grew up with cartoons as a natural part of their moviegoing, the shock may not be the mix of live and animated folk--it may come from the truly revolutionary sight of great icons of rival studios cheerfully rubbing shoulders.

Carrie Rickey

Philadelphia Inquirer

Imagine watching cartoon characters and relating to them as if they were flesh-and-blood instead of paint-and-ink. This is the slap-happy effect of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and - please - a 24-carrot salute to director Robert Zemeckis.

Rated: 4/4

I find Who Framed Roger Rabbit a deplorable development in the possibilities of animation -- and a melancholy waste of the gifts of one of our most gifted actors.

Noe G Who framed Roger rabbit is one of my favorite Disney films I give this film a 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Laura B stop only watching the Jessica scenes. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Zachary A Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a classic and is one of the best films ever made. Its groundbreaking animation techniques, clever storytelling, and timeless appeal make it a must-watch for audiences of all ages. A movie like this could never be made again in the new age of cinema. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Doug N Disney's live action and animation hybrid film is based on a novel by Gary K. Wolf, Who Censored Roger Rabbit? It's a highly imaginative, funny, and visually impressive film that inventively combines animation with a clever premise of cartoon characters co-existing in the real world. The story has elements of film noir drama, and wacky cartoon humor in its narrative that's boosted with a lively score by Alan Silvestri. The animation is stunningly blended in the live action settings of the film, which parodies and pays homage to the animation medium, and iconic cartoon characters. The performances from the live action cast are well-done, including Bob Hoskins as the private investigator Eddie Valiant, and Christopher Lloyd as the intimidating and eccentric Judge Doom. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a wildly innovative film that remains a timeless homage to the golden age of American animation, with a witty and brilliant original story woven into the premise. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Jack G A awesomely written film with incredible effects! Charming Characters, pretty cinematography, and has some of the best exposition in film history! (in my opinion) it's a entertaining charming gem! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Teddy B A sheerly outstanding and top-tier technical and storytelling feat that manages to balance its humour, charm, and wit without missing a beat in the process. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
