- bobbyi_settv 13y agoI'll also note that the (excellent) film was based on the novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Censored_Roger_Rabbit%3F http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Censored_Roger_Rabbit%3F , but the streetcar/ highway plot elements are invented for the movie completely absent in the book.
- monkeyspaw 13y agoI second the recommendation for anyone who hasn't seen this movie. It was marketed as a kids movie, but has a lot of stuff in it that adults can appreciate. It was also one of the first movies to combine significant CGI with real-world interaction.
- NAFV_P 13y agoI last saw that film about twenty years ago, I think I should catch it again. Back to the Future had some great lines in it as well, but as yet I haven't caught Used Cars.
- tanzam75 13y ago> It was also one of the first movies to combine significant CGI with real-world interaction. The was no CGI in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It was all traditional animation, hand-drawn on celluloid sheets. It wouldn't be until Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park that CGI really broke through as a technique that could be used in conjunction with live-action.
