Who Framed Roger Rabbit, in essence a private detective story set in a world where cartoon characters are just as real and alive as you and me and coexist freely with humans, is unlike any other film this troper has ever seen, and to this day remains his favorite. The writing is nothing short of brilliant, the special effects are top-notch, and the characters are all very likeable. As a whodunit, it's a bit easy to figure out, but that's not hte point; the joy of this movie comes from watching the strange and hilarious interaction between the two most mismatched leads in film history: a hard-boiled 1947 L.A. private-eye and a cartoon rabbit who's as crazy as he is naive. Please, please don't file this one in the kiddy comedy bin; that would be a grave injustice. No matter who you are, no matter how old you are, I offer my most solemn guarantee: this film will enchant you.
