Disney's Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Special Edition) [DVD] [1988]

Loved it thanks

Very quick dispatch, no complaints at all. Thank you

I haven't seen this film in a number of years and `Who Framed Roger Rabbit' is one of a kind films in having animation characters from across the various studios blended in with a Film Noir detective story. Richard Williams' animation team pulled out all stops ensuring that their dynamics blended with physical reality over twenty years ago now. CGI was in its infancy and the most it added was the colouring. I suspect if the film was made today then all the animated effects would have been produced through CGI so this type of film wouldn't be made today.As the title suggests, cartoon star Roger Rabbit is framed for murdering his employer as a means of ridding Hollywood of its Toon Town district. Private detective Eddie Valliant, played by Bob Hoskins, is employed to unravel what is going on and isn't very keen on Toons as one of them killed his partner.The film shows Hollywood as you imagine it was probably run in the 40s and how even Toons had problems finding employment when they switched from black and white to colour as witnessed by poor Betty Boop. The film is a classic and still very funny,SFCrowsnest guru

A ground-breaking concept that deserved its plaudits. The acting by Hoskins, Lloyd and others mixedseamlessly with the animated antics of what might be called the alternative cast in a wild comedyadventure involving human and cartoon characters in a sort of Raymond Chandler 'tec tale with oneoverwhelming difference that has to be seen to be believed - and enjoyed! Brilliance comes inunexpected ways and this is a top example. Roger - and out!!

A brilliant funny film - one to keep in your collection

So happy to own this film an old classic favourite of mine.Good price as well.

This is an iconic film from my childhood., I remember going to see it in London at an old cinema chain called RANK, it is just a brilliant movie with the perfect blend of animation and real actors. The film has some fantastic actors in it like Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd and many more and is set in "Toon Town" Roger is unwittingly in possession of a piece of paper that the judge (Lloyd) desperately wants his hands on. It is really funny and entertaining and suitable for all ages.... If you haven't seen it this is an absolute must watch for all ages.Even better please find and watch the Making Of so you can see how they used to make movies before CGI was a thing, particularly look at the part with the machinery attached to Bob Hoskins from when Roger was hiding down his top!

At least, it nearly drove Bob Hoskins mad making it. After so much filming talking to & interacting with characters that simply weren't there, he reportedly experienced problems with hallucinations. Never mind that his young son was said to be furious that his father hadn't brought any of his cartoon co-stars home to meet him!On any serious, sensible level this is, of course, a daft film with a paper thin plot. But then this is a film that is, most definitely, not on any serious, sensible level. As a homage to the cartoons that so many older readers of this grew up with, it is absolutely marvellous. As a film in itself, it's both hilarious and an astonishing technical achievement (especially for 1988). If I had a proper critic's hat to wear, I might only give it 4*. Only you see that drum of "dip" over there? That did for the critic's hat!
