This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I've always been guilty of rewarding ambitious films, much like with Birdman and Boyhood. This film is a staple and a must-watch for anybody. There was no digital compositing with this, it was all optical. This means they took stills frame by frame and composited the animation post-production. The animators went through hell to convey fluidity with the real-world cinematography. They included shadows, highlights, tone mattes, etc. Hand-drawn. Frame by frame. Over 82,000 frames. Then you have the live-action issues with interacting with something not present. The filmmakers went out of their way, challenging themselves, with motion control technology and puppeteering. It won three Oscars for the effort. One flaw was perhaps the misguided decision to screw Warner Bros., despite having their blessing. Following Warner Bros.' lead would have had positive results. Overall, however, this film is a technical marvel of the late 80's and great fun to watch. Top 300 film. 8.5/10 — watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Overall: Hilarious movie that is great for everyoneGood: Sensational cameos! There is childish, slapstick, innuendo/darker humour that makes it great for everyone. It was fun and entertaining from start to finish. Phenomenal contrast between reality and cartoons. Expert animation that does decently today and really fun and interesting characters.Bad: The villain wasn't interesting and his grand reveal came of as forced and misplaced. His toon version wasn't funny and was very stupid. The big twist he murdered his brother could have been handled better and there could have been a more interesting resolution for ToonTown.Best Part: The slapstick comedy routine at the end Bob uses to defeat the mafia type henchmen.9/10

As outdated as Who Framed Roger Rabbit is, it offers so much nostalgia to those times when Saturday mornings were the best times to watch animation. The whole movie seems like one of those extended cartoons, though to its credit, it works out so much better than movies like the Hotel Transylvania films, Inspector Gadget, or Son of the Mask. The story offers a combination of Disney magic and Amblin exhilaration, providing a mystery that seems so familiar yet is executed in a way that it feels quite unique. The animation and cinematography are edited together in a style, with techniques like puppetry, that they seem to coexist in one setting; the live-action characters feel to the audience like they're in an animated environment (and animated characters in live-action) and they can interact with said environments either realistically (like Los Angeles) or not (like Toontown). The characters are absolutely memorable along with their acting, providing the action, comedy, and drama of a masterpiece. The songs aren't as memorable, but the sheer silliness or enjoyment of them rounds this movie out. No matter whether its ideas seem obsolete today, this is a movie that no one, including you, should miss.
