(1988) [Full Movie]
Director: Robert Zemeckis (IMDB)
Strange to think this came out in 88. I was 11 at the time but it feels like I was a lot older when I first saw this in theaters. It's weird how time flies.
Synopsis: Cartoons and humans coexist in the same world. The famous Roger Rabbit has been set up for murder and a cartoon hating private eye is the only man that can help clear his name.
I'm pretty sure this is the first full length film to fuse animation and live action together, which is a pretty impressive feat and it still looks good. You can definitely tell Robert Zemeckis is directing and a 'Back to the Future' feel is there with the score plus Christopher Lloyd. It's noir meets cartoon and the story is pretty straight forward but fun. I found that Roger started to wear thin and became annoying after a while. Although I didn't hate his performance, Bob Hoskins seemed a bit awkward at times and I think his character could've been cast better. My last thought... Jessica Rabbit is only with Roger for the money.
