The first blend of animation and live-action that seemed so natural we felt the characters were real. There's many a lad still harbouring a crush on Jessica Rabbit.

Visually stunning and creatively superior, Zemeckis's work is frequently staggering and always entertaining.

A profoundly ridiculous premise, surely, but it works, not only as story and special effects showcase, but satire of the filmic conventions of two genres seemingly left to history's waste bin.

While flawlessly delivered, it's overkill -- so loud and excessive, it makes our head swim.

The real stars are the animators, under British animation director Richard Williams, who pull off a technically amazing feat of having humans and Toons seem to be interacting with one another.

Yet with all that, Zemeckis' $70 million technical tour de force doesn't get pulled down in the undertow of its own cleverness.

It's still a superb film, a rare big budget blockbuster that concentrates on a clever story, crisp performances, and brilliant jokes while using its groundbreaking special effects only as window dressing rather than as the main event.

What makes Roger Rabbit so successful is that it never feels like a gimmick film.

Hoskins está fabuloso, e deveria ter sido indicado ao Oscar. O roteiro decepciona ao não explorar totalmente o potencial do projeto e ao criar uma trama policial pouco interessante. No geral, porém, tem chances de virar clássico.
