Old School Lane Casual Chats: Who Framed Roger Rabbit

In this episode of Casual Chats, Patricia and Kevin discuss about one of their favorite movies of all time: the 1988 animated/live action hybrid film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? based on the 1981 book Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf. A washed up detective named Eddie Valliant is hired by a cartoon named Roger Rabbit to clear his name after he was suspected of murdering famed animator Marvin Acme. Meanwhile, an eccentric business man named Judge Doom wants to find Roger and sentence him to death via a liquid called The Dip that kills cartoons. When the film premiered, it made $351 million dollars out of a $50 million dollar budget receiving critical acclaim from critics and viewers loving the animation, the story, the characters, and its premise. It was one of the crucial films that would bring Disney into a new golden age a year before The Renaissance Era would begin with The Little Mermaid. But does it hold up after over 35 years later? Listen and find out.
