Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Live-action/cartoon combo classic, based on Wolf's 1981 novel WHO CENSORED ROGER RABBIT?, in which private inspector Hoskins investigates a murder where the prime suspect is the title character. Lots of great performances and countless fun cameos that include Disney and Warner characters sharing the screen together for the first time ever. A favorite for many; the film's greatest quality is its timelessness. However, Leonard Maltin summed up the film's fatal flaw terrifically in his capsule, pointing out that it is terribly difficult for even the most open-minded viewer to acclimate to a world where humans and cartoons live together. The MPAA would never rate it PG today.
