Review: In 1988, director Robert Zemeckis brought us a very special film where people and cartoons live in the same world. The movie is set in 1947. Private detective Eddie Valiant is hired by cartoon boos R.K. Maroon, to spy on Jessica, wife of cartoon character Roger Rabbit. Eddie follows her in a nightclub and catches her with funny guy Marvin Acme. Roger Rabbit is completely devastated when he finds out the news about his wife. The next day, Acme is found murdered and Roger Rabbit is the main suspect. He asks Eddie for help to proof his innocence.
The great this about “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” is the wat the cartoon world and the real world are put into one film. You van see that a lot of work went into this movie. As a result we get a modern film-noir, with comedy and sympathetic characters.
“Who Framed Roger Rabbit is an unique film, with both animation and live-action. Even today it still holds up and is a guarantee for an entertaining movie night. Loved it as a kid, still love it today.

Rating: 5/ 5
