Mini-review:
Look, I know this movie is a classic and it has had a huge impact on pop culture, but for some reason, I never got around to watching it. Until last night. And now I regret not watching it sooner. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is funny, thrilling and surprising. It was released almost 40 years ago, and yet, it still feels astoundingly groundbreaking. In a way, it made me realize that production values have gotten seriously worse in recent movies. Here, all the sets and costumes look gorgeous and completely real. You can tell they barely used green screens (except for the Toontown scenes, obviously). Sure, some of the interactions between the live-action actors and the animated characters look a bit iffy, but all things considered, they managed to pull off a pretty crazy concept that shouldn't work as well as it does here. My only complain is that sometimes I couldn't understand what the animated characters were saying, but it might have been because of my TV or the D+ platform, I don't know. So, I loved this and I'm glad I finally watched it.
