It is amazing to think it has been 25 years since Who Framed Roger Rabbit first burst onto cinema screens, not only because I still have vivid memories of seeing the film as a child but because it hasn’t aged a day in all that time. Robert Zemeckis’ film is often remembered for its groundbreaking technical achievements and the novelty of seeing Disney characters rubbing shoulders with classic Warner Bros. toons, yet the real reason it has endured is simply because it is a great story brilliantly told. Technical wizardry and novelty gimmicks age quickly; great storytelling is timeless.

As concepts go Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a killer - set in a world where humans and much loved animated…

I've always struggled keeping an all time favorite film. It was something I realized around the time I started getting into the more mature side of film talk/viewing that, for awhile, I didn't really think about what my real, all time favorite film was. Like, the one set in stone.

Hell, even in the last two years of properly getting into the more underground side of the medium, my favorite film of all time shifted between literal months (going from "Monsters Inc", to "Pulp Fiction", to "Synecdoche, New York", to "Moon").

I don't know exactly why. I guess it's because my tastes keep evolving into new discoveries of different loves in various different types of films (especially during last year),…

This is, and always will be, my childhood in a nutshell.

As a kid, I used to watch this religiously. Not only was this one of the first films I'd ever seen, it's also one of the first films (might have been the first) that ignited my passion for cinema. I just loved everything about it and I still do. A lot of that has to do with just seeing all of my favorite toon characters in one film. Imagine how blown away my mind was seeing not only Daffy Duck and Donald Duck in one hilarious slapstick scene, but also seeing just two of easily the most iconic animated characters of all time, Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. It…

What an achievement in film making. The behind-the-scenes stuff is probably even more entertaining that the movie itself. This was made before the advent of CGI but the end result looks better than a lot of what we get today thanks to the incredible attention to detail and the experts involved in its making.

I went to see this in the cinema when I was 7 years old and I think its highly unlikely that I understood very much of what was happening. While being marketed as a kids/family film, this is definitely aimed at adults. The plot is complex and the dialogue would have gone right over my head as a kid. While the Toon humour is the sort…
