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…
This film really holds up, but I do not know why that woman thought Roger Rabbit would be a good babysitter. He's really well-intentioned, but patently unqualified for the position. That aside, it was quite swell.
Raise the roof movie fans for this groundbreaking phenomenon! For the first time ever Walt Disney and Warner Brothers cartoon characters shared the big screen in this technical marvel combining live action and animation!
I was tickled pink by its raucous and semi raunchy nature! When buxom Jessica Rabbit croons onscreen your eye's won't be the only thing going BOING!
Bob Hoskins was absolutely amazing in this!
The "childhood favourite" area can be seen as a danger zone in some circles when we look at how some of the films that we liked back before our tastes have developed into what we are now are so vastly different. But the moment we still recognize our childhood favourites today as something of a standout is where another story comes by, and in the case of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it has continued to blow my mind with subsequent revisits. For how hit-and-miss Robert Zemeckis can be especially when it comes to his choices of what material he handles, one film in particular still holds up better than all the rest and the brilliance of Who Framed Roger Rabbit…
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…
I was always on Cartoon Network until the Disney Channel came along and ruined my life with all their dumb, lovable & addictive sitcoms.
איכשהו גם אחרי שראיתי כל כך הרבה קולנוע מכל מיני מדינות ותרבויות - עדיין "מי הפליל את רוג'ר ראביט" הוא הסרט האולטימטיבי עבורי. לא משנה מאיזה אספקט אסתכל עליו - הוא מושלם מכל בחינה.
1988 was a big year in cinema as a kid. It’s was the first year I’d get dropped off with friends. Willow, Baron Munchausen, Police Academy 5: Miami, Twins and Big.
You forget what big deal ‘Who Framed’ was. Even the Roger Rabbit shorts that turned up at the start of other films over the next few years.
That cult / aesthetic of 30s/40s that was so big in the 80s. The Chinatown / Raymond Chandler concept of LA corruption is played straight as a new freeway around the toon elements. Nicholson was originally a casting idea for Eddie the PI. Zemeckis continued obsession with that hollywood Park tunnel from Back to the Future.
Also it’s another one of those…
The animation and other technical aspects of this film were inspiringly impressive and unique, and they worked perfectly with the creative story concept. The reason I didn’t rate this film higher is because unfortunately the writing in terms of character/plot/themes/worldbuilding/etc was mediocre at best and boring at worst. Can’t help but feel a bit disappointed when thinking about the masterpiece this film could’ve been. Still, from a technical stand point, it truly is a masterpieces, and I’ll likely rewatch it in the future after further researching how they even did all the things they did. Very unique film and personally as a rookie animation student, I’m a big fan of Richard William’s work.
A technological achievement and a magical, captivating film for all ages (although the “Dip” is a beyond terrifying concept, it is one relatable enough that it transcends age). I grew up with this movie and think it had a lot to do with my admiration for animation and the art of film in general.

A really fun, enjoyable film that I didn’t expect to like as much as I did. I love the atmosphere and world building this film has, and the merging of Disney and Warner Bros and other cartoons was such a surreal experience. I really like all the detective stuff, and wasn’t the biggest fan of the over the top slapstick, which is why I like the first two acts more than the final one. Also, how incredible is the visual effects in this movie, it’s mind blowing how perfect and creative and jaw dropping they are
Literal masterpiece. The special effects are still amazing today. Incredible work by all involved in front and behind the camera.
They don't make 'em like they used to. One of the greatest films of all time, not just animation. Funny, brutal and nostalgic in nearly every frame of this Looney Tuney Disney MGM love letter of a movie.
