Who Framed Roger Rabbit: A Quick Review

The main thing that I wondered as I was watching "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was why in the world would a woman ever marry a rabbit. I just don't understand the logic behind this. The movie is great though. It came out in 1988, during the period of time before Robert Zemeckis went crazy and decided to only make motion capture movies...which look nice...but he should seriously consider going back to making normal movies like "Back to the Future," "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," "Forrest Gump," etc. Even in these he was still able to use tons of special effects. I've decided that cartoon characters coexisting with live characters in a movie is one of the coolest things a person can hope to do in movies. The special effects in the movie are great and the interaction between the actors (mostly Bob Hoskins and Christopher Lloyd) and the cartoons actually feels normal. Also, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is the only time in the history of the world that Disney characters and Warner Brothers characters have been in the same movie...which I find really interesting. The movie is a great combination of comedy mixed with a mystery...since Roger Rabbit is indeed framed for murder...the title of the movie isn't a lie. Great acting (from the actors and the voice-over actors), great script, and groundbreaking special effects are just a few of the several reasons why "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" has become regarded as classic.
