Story Synopsis:
Based on the book “Who Censored Roger Rabbit?” by Gary K. Wolf, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is still as exciting as it was ten years ago when it garnered four Academy Awards® for Film Editing, Sound Effects Editing and Visual Effects, plus a Special Achievement in Animation Direction. Mixing live action with animation, this enchanting story tells of 1947 Hollywood, a world in which humans and Toons coexist.
LaserDisc Picture:
The picture is sharp and clear with brilliant colors. The aspect ratio is about 1.75:1. The real actors and the Toons look equally good. The CAV format allows a frame by frame look at the techniques of animation and special effects.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
Dialogue is clear and easy to understand. Foley is good and the stereo definition is excellent. Unfortunately, there is virtually no surround and the action in this film cries-out for an aggressive surround mix. Nevertheless this is a visually entertaining nights fare.
