Had watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit? for the first time a couple days ago. Was shocked by both the titanic work that must have been put into making this movie (all animation is hand-drawn! And then merged with life-action actors by "manual" editing, without any computer assistance! In 80s, during the "dark age" for western animation!) and by how modern the writing is. I geniunely would have never guessed this script was written in 1988, because I can perfectly imagine this story being written in, like, 2015, and it honestly would make more sense in my head.
Wouldn't nesseasry call this movie an immortal masterpiece or a revolutionary piece of art with a deep message (although it is public transport-pilled), but this is a movie anyone should see at least once in their lives.
"Remeber me Eddie? When I killed your brother, I talked JuSt LiKe ThIs!"
It's a really good movie. A fun neonoir detective story with a technicolor twist.
The animation is absolutely insane. Western animation is known to animate on 2's, meaning you draw a new cell of animation every two frames of film, or 12 animated cells per second of movie. Anime is animated on 3's, saving time and money by drawing a new cell only every three frames of animation.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is ANIMATED ON 1'S.
