Our take on Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Robert Zemeckis blends hand-drawn animation with live action in a 1988 comedy-crime-fantasy that puts cartoon star Roger Rabbit at the center of a murder case. When Roger suspects his wife Jessica of straying, detective Eddie Valiant is hired to watch her; things escalate when Marvin Acme turns up dead and Roger becomes the prime suspect. It's a noir-flavored mystery filtered through slapstick, ideal for viewers who enjoy genre-mixing invention and the technical craft of characters sharing the frame across two mediums. Expect wit and momentum rather than realism. A good pick for fans of animation history and playful detective stories alike.
