When I first saw 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' in the cinema, I would only
have been eight years old and very probably didn't appreciate the sheer
magnitude of what I was seeing. Recognising the pain-staking amount of
work that goes into making certain films just isn't what kids do. But I
do remember loving it. And that's why this is such a superb slice of
movie history - not only is it smashing entertainment that viewers of
all ages can enjoy, but technically it's quite possibly the best film
of the 80s.
It's 1947, and private 'tec Eddie Valiant (Bob
Hoskins) has carved a living out of handling cases of Hollywood's rich
and famous. Only this is a version of Hollywood with a difference, for
ordinary men and women mingle freely with the great and the good of the
cartoon world. Dumbo, Betty Boop, Donald and Daffy, Yosemete Sam,
Mickey Mouse - they're all here.
Despite having vowed never to work with 'toons after an unfortunate incident in which one of them dropped a piano on his brother's head, Eddie soon finds himself neck-deep in a villainous plot to frame the madcap Roger Rabbit (voiced by Charles Fleischer) for the murder of Toontown mogul Marvin Acme (Stubby Kaye). Against all better judgement, the booze-loving gumshoe sets about helping the rabbit clear his name.
The level of time and energy that went into making this production look as good as it does is quite simply mind-boggling. It's not computer animation - it's the real deal. The hand-drawn stuff. The stuff that takes forever and a day because it has to be drawn into every last frame. Yet the toons look real, much more real than the CGI additions to the
