I wonder if people nowadays realize just why this movie was so incredibly popular back in the day.

Come on, you had Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse together falling from the sky!

You had Donald and Daffy Duck together playing piano in some theater!

You had Roger Rabbit himself who was fantastic because he was so entertaining and had you laughing constantly.

Most importantly, you had reality and cartoons combined and it looked totally believable like the real people were actually communicating with the cartoon characters. Come on, back in the late 80's many people (children and adults) were a bit surprised film directors were able to pull off something like this. It was bizarre, it was unique, and the movie is quite entertaining as a result and worth watching several times over. This movie was a huge step forward for film directors and I'd say it was a pretty big influence on todays films.

Along with the Back to the Future movies, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of the greatest movies at the time, and honestly the film still holds up and looks remarkable today.

What's interesting is that I'm defending a movie that I honestly HATED when it first came out, but the reason I hated it was because I was a child in the late 80's and expected nothing but a cartoon from beginning to end. Now I understand the appeal.

The ONLY problem with this film is that the final 20 minutes get insanely whacky to the point it's somewhat hard to follow. A remarkable film, and a classic future generations of children and adults must watch at least once.

Oh, and remember that scene where the guy was driving his real car through all the colorful animations with the trees, sun, and sky singing along? There's a popular TV commercial on TV right now (the one with the Loretta Lynn song) that was probably influenced by that scene.
