This film is a quite good adventure for the whole family to enjoy. It had that funny story and cleverly written story too. It was the start of Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back In Action. This film makes me laugh because Roger Rabbits character reminds me a lot like Daffy Ducks because they are both trouble makers but nice animals though, they are both heroic in a clumsy way, they are quite ridiculous characters but are just pure entertainment. The story in general is clumsy and quite silly but it is just family entertainment nothing more. It is a very witty story. It brings together all sorts of different types of characters. This film became big when it first came out because nobody has ever seen a film where there are real life people and animations that appear at the same time on the same film. This was like a classic blockbuster in the 1980s and early 1990s. This film lost its well known status until Space Jam was released in 1996. This film was extremely weird and really bizarre when it came out.
I did like Bob Hoskins as Eddie Valiant. Bob Hoskins truly makes Eddie like a grumpy old man who just wants to do his job nothing more. Eddie Valiant is a man who used to work with toons and doesnt like them anymore but until he is entwined with Roger Rabbit and the murder of Marvin Acme. When Roger confronts Eddie and asks for help, Eddie is torn because he doesnt want any trouble with the toons but he doesnt want anything to do with them either. Now he has no choice. He became a toon hater up until a toon hero who saved Roger and his wife Jessica. I thought the direction was descent with the clever scenes and the good actions that were used on each of the characters.
I love Robert Zemeckis work but I have to say that Who Framed Roger Rabbit is my least favourite from Zemeckis. I personally think that this film sort of set a level of comic book films even though this isnt a comic book. I cant explain why but I can just see it. I found the script quite lame to be honest because I found that most of the scenes were far too long and there were quite a lot of lame words involved in this film.
As I said this is my least favourite Zemeckis film because it is the weakest out of all of the films he has done. I thought this film was good but could have been a bit better. Also, it is an overrated family film. I think the main thing that disappointed me about it was it was just quite a weak story and poor characters. Apart from that, it was a good family film.
