The sequel to the popular 1993 animated film Who Framed Roger Rabbit is set decades in the future, with a gloomier tone than the original. Instead of a jovial, wholesome family film, this latest offering takes a darker approach. The movie’s opening fake out is as clever as the plot, and its characters – a disaster-prone baby named Huey and his overworked baby-sitter, Roger – are all prime suspects. The film also explores the parallels between nihilistic cartoon slapstick and a more serious genre of fiction such as hardboiled fiction and Film Noir.
The sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit continues the blend of humor, technology, imagination, and technical innovation. The movie is set in Hollywood, with human characters collaborating with cartoons to help solve crimes. Despite the comedy and adventure, the plot is also surprisingly dark, and many fans will find this film quite depressing. The plot revolves around a toon adaptation of “Gone With the Wind.”
As a result, Zemeckis is an unlikely candidate for the director’s job. While his name is associated with a few wacky films, his legacy stretches far beyond the 1980s. The director, who is responsible for some of the most beloved movies of all time, is no stranger to controversy and scandal. His latest film, Welcome to Marwen, was not a success, but was a critical flop. Still, fans of his previous films would be glad to see him back.
A combination of live-action and animation has a long history. Disney did it with Pete’s Dragon in 1977. When World War II ended, audiences marveled at the sight of Gene Kelly dancing with a mouse in Anchors Aweigh. The result was a movie that has become iconic in the world of cartoons. If we had to remake Who Framed Roger Rabbit today, we would have to revisit the classic in three or four years.
The film also featured an extensive cast, which included the voice actors of Roger Rabbit. The movie is an animated movie, but it was filmed in real-life as well. Despite being an animated feature film, the movie’s cast includes many actors who are familiar with Fleischer from his other films, including A Nightmare on Elm Street. There are several other notable cast members. Among the best are director Dean Cundey and screenwriter Peter S. Seaman.
The movie also features Bob Hoskins as Eddie Valiant, a down-on-his-luck gumshoe who hates toons. After being thrust into a murder case with Roger Rabbit, the two men begin a new adventure to discover the truth about the man who killed Marvin Acme. While uncovering the truth, they also uncover a conspiracy that threatens Toontown.
Although Who Framed Roger Rabbit took a different approach to animation, it remained an iconic film of its time. It captured the world of animation at a critical crossroads. Animated films, which were once only hand-drawn, were being replaced by computer animation. Computer animation allowed for smooth, digital landscapes that portrayed human characters with a greater degree of humanity. Until this day, it is considered the best of the three worlds.
