At long last, the most epic installment yet of The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews has arrived!
In this episode, I’ll be taking nearly one hour to look at the beloved live-action/animation hybrid, Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
I’ll cover everything from the inception of the original novel to the years it took to bring it to the big screen and the century-old techniques that were utilized to breathe life into this classic.
Finally, I’ll review the film’s expansive 2-disc DVD set.
The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews is hosted by David A. Rose.

There are no words to describe the epic awesomeness of what I’ve just seen. From the getgo I was just slackjawed by the through the roof production value. The cinematography was great, the animation was off the hook. The only thing that I noticed was some of the color correction, but that’s not a huge problem. I’m just amazed at how you were able to pull off that animation without using Flash. As far as the non-technical aspects go, you kept it all professional and very interesting. The clips of the behind the scenes stuff was all very well used. The only part that dragged was talking about “The Thief and the Cobbler” (Some things didn’t seem pertinent) and there was more to be said about the history of why there isn’t a Roger Rabbit 2, but I think you said plenty. All in all, freakin’ solid. I love this movie and now you make me wish again that I owned it. Here’s a little fun fact for ya, I actually once had the honor of attending an ILM department showing where they showcased their effects stuff. I got to see the puppet that was used for the flattened Judge Doom. Let’s just say that time and water have not been kind to it.
