THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is a phenomenal concept movie that seamlessly blends live actors with animated characters in such a way that they appear to be occupying the same physical space. WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT also stars Joanna Cassidy as Eddie Valiant’s streetwise girlfriend Dolores and features the vocal talents of Charles Fleischer (delightful as Roger Rabbit), Mel Blanc, Mae Questel, Tony Anselmo, Joe Alaskey, June Foray, Amy Irving and an uncredited Kathleen Turner as the speaking voice of Jessica Rabbit. While I have always marveled at WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT ($30) for its technical achievements, the story is just a little too predictable to make it a truly great film in my book. www.thecinemalaser.com /dvd_reviews/who-framed-roger-rabbit-dvd.htm   (871 words)

Jessica Rabbit "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (1988- the graphic novel adaptation of the movie); "Roger Rabbit" #1 (June 1990).

Roger was innocent, and for a time it was suggested that Jessica herself might have done the crime. users.cwnet.com /xephyr/rich/dzone/hoozoo/jessica.html   (248 words)

Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Roger Rabbit As it is, Who Framed Roger Rabbit (the plot was modified to leave Roger alive at the end, and the title adjusted to match), which premiered June 21, 1988, sparked a new wave of modern animation, revitalizing Disney's position in that field. The comic books haven't been seen in a decade, and a proposed prequel to the movie, Who Discovered Roger Rabbit, was never produced. Roger Rabbit would probably be an amusing footnote in modern literature, if The Walt Disney Company hadn't teamed with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment (Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures) to turn it into a feature-length film, displaying the most sophisticated melding of live action and animation ever seen. www.toonopedia.com /roger.htm   (762 words)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988) But let's not forget that Disney took the first shot years ago with Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a 1988 live-action and animation combo that won Academy Awards for Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing. Richard Williams, the man who gave birth to the clownish Rabbit and directed the animation, was also given a Special Achievement Award. Hoskins plays Eddie Valiant, a hard-drinking, hard-boiled private eye who's hired to prove that the superstar Rabbit's sexpot wife, Jessica Rabbit (voiced by Kathleen Turner), is "playing patty cake" with Marvin Acme, head of the Acme gag factory and owner of Toontown. www.reel.com /movie.asp?MID=1426&buy=closed&PID=10105898&Tab=reviews&CID=18   (1127 words)

Roger Rabbit - TheBestLinks.com - Cartoon, Los Angeles, California, 1940s, ... The character first appeared in the book Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf, which was loosely adapted as the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit; both stories center around a world in which animated films are produced by filming actual living cartoon characters, or "toons", who coexist with the human world in 1940s Los Angeles.

Who Made Roger Rabbit She is probably best known for her role in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." This was not her first role though, her acting career began in 1974 with a small part in "The Laughing Policeman" with Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern. The budget for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was originally set at $27.5 million but Disney certainly did not stop there. But when he tried to explain to his small children who his co-star was, "they would look at me (Hoskins) as if their old man had gone loopy!" "I had to build a relationship with thin air-to actually hallucinate that Roger was there." explains Hoskins. www.twyman-whitney.com /film/lecture/rogerrabbit.htm   (2880 words)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is a technically-marvelous film blending animated, ink-and-paint cartoon characters and flesh-and-blood live actors, in a convincing comedy/mystery noir thriller, set in Los Angeles in 1947. Wolf's 1991 sequel book to the film (not to his previous book) was titled Who P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?: A Hare-Raising Mystery. The possible cause of the hare-brained Roger's distractedness and forgetfulness is that his sexy cartoon-animated wife named Jessica Rabbit (with the speaking voice of Kathleen Turner) may be unfaithful, but Roger think's she's an angel. www.filmsite.org /whof.html   (3417 words)

DVD Verdict Review - Who Framed Roger Rabbit The irony of doing this to a film that is based on a book titled "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" ought to have caused some Buena Vista executive to choke on their cigar. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a wondrous achievement in film, a delightfully amusing story with a little something for adults and children alike. When I found out that I would be reviewing Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I never would have bet that I would end up drawing a comparison with the mammoth blockbuster Titanic, but think about it for a second. www.dvdverdict.com /reviews/whoframedroger.php   (1847 words)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit: Vista Series (1988) While I'll never claim that Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of the all-time great movies, it is a very good one, and more than that, it stands as one of the finest technical achievements in motion picture history. Who Framed Roger Rabbit appears in both an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 and in a fullscreen version on these single-sided, double-layered DVDs; the widescreen image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. Rabbit relied heavily on composite shots to meld live-action and animation, and those came across as a little fuzzy at times. www.dvdmg.com /rogerrabbitvista.shtml   (3696 words)

The DVD Journal Reviews : Who Framed Roger Rabbit: Vista Series Zany toon headliner Roger Rabbit is implicated in the murder of Tinseltown's gag king, Marvin Acme (Stubby Kaye), who Valiant photographed trysting with Roger's wife, the voluptuous human-like Jessica (voiced by Kathleen Turner like liquid Bacall). At least half of Roger's character comes from the versatile voice work of Charles Fleischer, who took to the role with such Actors Studio Method elan that he worked on set wearing a full-sized Roger Rabbit costume, floppy ears and all. A key factor that makes Roger Rabbit work is that it creates something wholly new from ingredients that are endearingly familiar. www.dvdjournal.com /reviews/w/whoframedrogerrabbit_vs.shtml   (3279 words)

Cinephobia Reviews: Who Framed Roger Rabbit Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Robert Zemeckis’ elaborate tribute to Hollywood cartoons, served as a marker for this nostalgia, and hinted at the widening of the audience for animation that occurred in the 90s. Certainly there is more continuity in personnel between The Little Mermaid and the 90s hits (such as Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King) than there is with Who Framed Roger Rabbit. By suggesting that "anything for a laugh" Roger (who shows only the briefest moment of empathy for Valiant) is right and the grief-stricken Valiant is somehow wrong to feel the way he does, the film articulates its central imbalance: it’s not nearly as interested in making Roger real as it is in making him funny. home.mira.net /~satadaca/whoframd.htm   (1730 words)

Who Delayed Roger Rabbit? And in the case of 1989’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit it was a clash between some of the biggest names in Hollywood - Steven Spielberg and Disney studio head Michael Eisner - that squashed any hope of further feature length adventures of the loony `toon.

Animation World Magazine Part animated feature, part live-action film noir, all entertainment, Who Framed Roger Rabbit made animated stars out of a sputtering rabbit named Roger and his mammiferous mate Jessica as they led live-action detective Eddie Valiant through sunny Los Angeles and the insane asylum known as Toontown in a desperate chase. Roger, Jessica, Baby Herman and the venerable denizens of ToonTown were the third wave, the one that engulfed the nation and made toons cool again.

DVDFILE.COM: Who Censored Roger Rabbit? In case you haven't heard, Disney has censored Roger Rabbit and once again altered someone else's accomplishment forever.

Quieter scenes dealing with the reluctant friendship between Eddie and Roger or in Eddie's problem overcoming the bottle, tend to be regarded as less important filler material. www.moria.co.nz /fantasy/rogerrabbit.htm   (805 words)

Needcoffee.com DVD Review: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) Roger Rabbit (voiced by Fleischer) is a star of Maroon Studios who's got everything: starring roles, fame, and an animated bombshell of a wife--Jessica (voiced by an uncredited Turner). The Who Made Roger Rabbit mini-documentary is hosted by Fleischer, and is definitely oriented towards rugrats. The one thing it is good for, however, is walking you through the various appearances of characters--just in case you don't know who Koko the Clown is, for example, or where the hell he comes from. www.needcoffee.com /html/dvd/wfrrabbit.htm   (1116 words)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit - Movie Review Based on the novel 'Who Censored Roger Rabbit' by Gary K. Wolf, and directed by Robert Zemeckis in between making the first two Back to the Future films, this marvellous movie deservedly scooped four Oscars (including a Special Achievement Award for animator Richard Williams) and was nominated for three others. When I first saw 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' in the cinema, I would only have been eight years old and very probably didn't appreciate the sheer magnitude of what I was seeing. In fact, 'Roger Rabbit' provides yet more evidence that the standard of such visual effects has largely gone backwards since the late 80s and early 90s. www.movie-gazette.com /cinereviews/542   (667 words)
