What: Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Where: @ home - we own it on DVD
Why: It recently celebrated an anniversary (20 years maybe?)
This movie is soooooooooooooo good. If you haven't seen it, you will be amazed. Especially when you think about the fact that it was made in the late '80s. The effects are pretty impressive. I mean, when you watch an 80's movie, you can totally say, "arg - nice '80s effects!", but not this movie. It's totally seamless between the animated characters and the human characters.
The story revolves around Roger Rabbit (a cartoon rabbit) and Eddie Valient (a human detective). Eddie used to enjoy working for 'toons', until a toon killed his brother. Dropped a piano on his head.
Well, Eddie is down on his luck, and gets involved in sleuthing around the death of RK Maroon - one of the main lovers of toons. If RK's will doesn't show up soon, anybody will be able to buy Toontown! Will Eddie get over his hatred of toons to help them out (RK Maroon was supposed to will Toontown to the toons!)? Or will a piano get dropped on his head, just like his brother?
What's fun about this movie is all the cartoon characters. You'll see Mickey Mouse, Betty Boop, Dumbo, Yosemite Same and hundreds more! You could probably watch this movie a zillion times and still not catch all the cool background stuff.
Best line of the movie:
"What's the password?"
"Walt sent me"
(as in Walt Disney!)
