Review
Our Score
by
Tom Hutchinson
This whizz-bang breakthrough in mixing live action with cartoon characters won a special achievement Oscar for animator Richard Williams. It follows the adventures of private eye Bob Hoskins, who ventures into Toontown - where the cartoon personalities live - to help animated superstar Roger Rabbit, who suspects his wife of adultery. Guest appearances by a wealth of cartoon favourites, including Daffy Duck, Mickey Mouse and Betty Boop, adorn the tale as Hoskins's investigation leads to villain Christopher Lloyd, who's planning to cleanse Toontown of its animated inhabitants. Highlights include Hoskins's encounter with Roger's wife Jessica (voiced by Kathleen Turner), the slinkiest, most seductive vamp since Veronica Lake, and the fantastic all-action opening sequence. It was a creative and box-office success for co-executive producer Steven Spielberg and director Robert Zemeckis, and led the way for the likes of
Space Jam
and
Toy Story
.
