Does it hold up?

>movie is only remembered for the sexy redhead woman

I wish there were more movies like it. I wish I was living in the timeline where CGI didn't kill 2D. This must be how people feel in the timeline where Nintendo and Sega didn't save video games after the video game crash.

>>149424129 (OP)
On a technical level? Absolutely. I've always found the movie as a whole a little overrated. Not by much though.

It's still the prime example of how to blend animation and love action for all I care, at least 2D animation. No other movie comes close to it.

>>149424129 (OP)
It's a miracle of a movie

>>149424129 (OP)
Had strong sequel/franchise potential, but Disney and Spielberg are gay and retarded.

>>149424159
Sex sells. Get over it.

>>149424129 (OP)
Yes

>>149424455
Did it? Most Disney sequels are utter shit. Not to mention licensing would've become a bigger problem than it already was.

>Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
>The Little Mermaid (1989)
>The Simpsons (1990)

Definitely a turning point

Sex with Judge Doom.

So why didn't Back in Action do well at the box office like Roger Rabbit and Space Jam did?

>>149424556
I think so. They wouldn't have needed to lean so heavily into other non-Disney IPs since the gimmick was already introduced and Roger Rabbit's name alone would have probably attracted a large audience for a sequel. But that window's closed a long time ago by now. Few people are going to get hyped for Roger Rabbit in 2025. Anyways, we kind of see the themes a sequel could have worked with in the comics.

Doom’s true form looks kinda eh in this. Pic related looks way cooler, and much more accurate to his colors.

I didn't know Bob Hoskins was actually BRITISH until I saw an interview with him before he died.

>does it hold up?

Whenever you ask this question, you have to ask: is there any CG sloppa? If yes, then no. If no, then yes.

>>149424129 (OP)
SAY IT

>>149425327
I always wondered why his true form in the comic is basically just Christopher lloyd from the movie. If Judge Doom was intended to be Baron Von Rotten's Human disguise, then why would he choose a skin suit that looks almost identical to how he was drawn? Idk, I guess the entire point is that toons don't operate on logic.

Doom was the Pistol Packin Possum and I refuse any other answer.

>>149424455
no need for a sequel

>>149424129 (OP)
The test footage for part 2 looked good even if they were going to make Roger CGI

>>149424129 (OP)
>Does it hold up?
Absolutely. It's the kind of movie I can throw on any time and be entertained the whole way through.

>>149424129 (OP)
I think Fantagraphics should do a collection of the Roger Rabbit comics since they have the Disney license
I remember enjoying it

>>149426133
Not needed for sure, but wouldn't have been unwelcome either if been made at the time and by the right people. CG Roger Rabbit wasn't it though.

I'd imagine the looney tuners would be way too expensive for a sequel. It was crazy that Disney got them for the first one but since it became such a huge hit I bet WB would ask for a lot more.

>>149426214
If they ever make a Plastic Man movie they should do it like this. Just make him all CGI and some what cartoonish (but still looks like he exists in 3 dimensional space and has some weight to him)
making him photo realistic would be gross

>>149424129 (OP)
The best movie Zemeckis ever did.
Better than Back to the Future 1 and 2.
>b-b-b-but it's just Chinatown with cartoons!!!
Yeah, hence why it's a better movie.

It's timeless. So much love and care went into it, just look at those practical effects.

>>149426681
It's certainly better than Forrest Gump

>>149424556

Spielberg sequels tend to be complete shit too.

>>149424165
>I wish I was living in the timeline where CGI didn't kill 2D
But it didn't. There's more 2D shows than 3D shows.

>>149426112
That’s not sexy.

Are most Toons anatomically correct? Baby Herman is, at least.

>>149428469
only if it's funny

>>149424963
>No wonder Maroon Cartoons was in the red!
Heh

>>149427384
Haven't 2d movies dried up outside of anime?

>>149424129 (OP)
Stupendously! It was really the start of the Disney renaissance and it's mix of live action and animation has never, EVER been topped. Jessica Rabbit is just the sexy cherry on top.

>>149424159
It's known for being an incredible blend of 2d animation and live action that hasn't been topped even in the age of digital editing and cgi. It is a paramount example of what dedicated film makers and animators can accomplish.

nothing can ever replicate it and those who try to fail miserably and are forgotten. fear the rabbit.

>>149424129 (OP)
Yes.

>>149424129 (OP)
Yeah I'd say so. It's a really solid movie with a great story and the blend of live action and animation still looks good to this day. It also has a wild cast of characters, and is pretty much the only official Disney/Warner collab we'll ever get until one buys the other out.

>>149424129 (OP)
Yeah Roger Rabbit holds up alright

>>149424129 (OP)
The animation? Hell yeah.
The movie itself? Boring.
Roger is annoying, even Richard Williams admitted it had no emotion.
