Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

[Quelquefois]

Just thought it was appropriate due to the time it's set in.

Keep an eye out for the fashion

It's an ace movie anyways.

It's doesn't all stream at once so make sure you watch all 10 (if you care to) by progressing through the numbers indicated at the top right corner pull-down menu.

Cheers and Enjoy.

I saw it as a child when it came out and loved it!

I've actually never had the luck of watching it until now and I think it's a good thing because I don't think I would have appreciated the humour or environment as much if I had first watched it when I was younger.

All I remember is having this geeky (I hope it's still around to find in my house) elastic belt with Roger's mug on it.

Surely!

It's wild. I love it. Glad you're enjoying it too.

My sister and I love this movie, we bought the DVD some years ago and have it in heavy rotation. It's just silly.

I was just talking about this movie the other day. My friend was showing me some photos from her latest shoot and there's one that was completely a Jessica Rabbit pose. One of my all-time favorite movie lines ever "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way." lol LOOVE IT. When I was younger that's who I wanted to grow up to be.

All animation, and I do mean ALL animation in that film was done by hand.

There was a real effort to do so, to stay true to the era and style of the craft. As an animatior (2D) I hold my hand to my heart and say thank you.

I dated a guy who worked on that movie. I met him before it was released, and he was very proud of it. :eusa_clap

Love this movie! Bob Hoskins did a great job acting with an invisible 'buddy' and the clothes are gorgeous.

Did you know that Jessica is actually based on some of the great Hollywood starlets? I saw it on TV once - I think her bust is based on Rita Heyworths, her hair on Veronica Lake (of course!) and her attitude on Lauren Bacall.

And Kathleen Turner's voice was perfect for the character as well.

And it's on Showtime Saturday 01/20 at 6 am, Thursday 01/25 at 4 am for anyone who hasn't seen it recently.

This has been my favourite movie for as far as I can remember. The blend between animation and live action is so perfect, it's almost miraculous; not only was all the animation done by hand, but so was everything else. And there's no doubt that the setting is part of the enchatment - I still get a strong sighing fit when I see that flyover of the street where Eddie lives at sunset (no, not the avenue).

And another thing- Jessica's performance at the Ink & Paint club is, in my opinion, the greatest animated scene ever, and I'm still baffled by one small detail - how the heck could a cartoon character pull out a real pocket square and use it to rub a real bald guy's head? (I actually have a clue, but knowing it for certain would banish the magic of it all.)

 

[JazzBaby]

That is a great scene, and let's not forget the song - "Why Don't You Do Right?" Brilliant.

I love Kathleen Turner:

Jessica Rabbit "I'm not bad, just drawn that way!"

I totally agree with you Mike. Kathleen Turner's voice was great. This movie was a lot of fun to watch and hear. It was on today, in the late morning. I had thought about posting about it, and when I went to do so, here was this thread! I guess we all are watching the same pay channels.

I love this scene too!

After all these years, that scene still gives me chills.

Same here.

It was a pretty pioneering movie all told.


I believe Willow is officially the first CGI movie, but the art of talking to animated characters was in it's infancy


Bob Hoskins was one of the first human actors to have to work talking to tennis balls to represent the characters involved
