Robert Zemeckis is a director that doesn't stick to one genre. Usually you can watch a movie and know who directed it simply by the genre or visuals. Zemeckis makes each movie different. It must be hell on teh studios sometimes, I mean, you can'te really advertise "Foreest Gump" as, "From the director of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit." or "What Lies Beneath - From the director of Back to the Future." He's a good director, don't get me wrong. The variety of content in his filmography is one of the resons I admire him.
Although he's a hideous looking guy. he looks like post-career Ali Muhammed, only white.
"Who Framed Roger rabbit," really isn't a kids movie. It's good for kids, but I don't imagine they'll get half of the jokes or any of the plot. In fact, most kids won't recognize 75% of the animated characters or the style of animation. In the 40s and 50s when Warner Brothers characters DOMINATED children's programming, cartoons were different. There was tons of violence, but it was all slapsticky. Every Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, etc. cartoon was like a Three Stooges film with animals. Completly differnt from what you see today. In my opion, i'll take Yosemite Sam over any damn Pokemon!
The plot of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," is simple. It takes place around the studios of Maroon cartoons. In this movie's version of post WWII Hollywood, cartoons are REAL. They're not just pictures on paper. They're walking talking creatures that live jsut like people, only they can't die. Until Judge Doom, (Christopher Llyod) concots a liquid called the dip, that kills cartoons. A person has been murdered and Roger Rabbit is framed for the murder. Bob Hoskins plays Eddie Valiant, an alcoholic private investigator who hates cartoons, but gets suckered into clearing Roger Rabbit's name. The whole movie is like an animated version of "Chinatown."
I honestly love this movie. It's funny, and I lvoe cartoons. At least I love cartoons that don't suck (cough Pokemon cough). the movie does have it's flaws, like Jessica Rabbit's character, but overall, it's pretty entertaining.
