A toon-hating detective is a cartoon rabbit's only hope to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder.
"At first glance, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? may seem outdated, but it's actually a technological marvel even to this day, as it convincingly blended animation with the real world using limited resources, which earned it four Academy Awards (including Best Visual Effects and a Special Achievement Award for Animation). For those in the know of the animation world and entertainment industry, it's also an unrivaled milestone (when will we ever see Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny together on screen again?). But above all, it's a brilliant mystery comedy, a tribute to the golden age of American animation, and a parody of Hollywood film noir, with masterful performances by Bob Hoskins and Christopher Lloyd. Without a doubt, it's one of the landmarks in the always innovative Robert Zemeckis' filmography (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, Contact)."
