Who Framed Roger Rabbit - 25 Years and Still Going Strong

Time passes and you don't always notice it. The movies that I am sharing on this page prove this point. Each of them is the 25th Anniversary Edition.

Looking back I remember when this move first hit the theaters. And I have always loved cartoons. So the chance to watch them combined with real actors I just could not pass it up. I think I actually saw this one in the theaters. And for me that is saying something. I don't tend to go out to the movies. That is as true today as it has ever been. But this was 25 years ago not today.

Yes I was drawn to go to the big screen for this one. Most of the time I spent naming the different cartoon characters and where they came from. Was it Disney or Warner Brothers? Or did they slip one in from somewhere else? The new characters created just for the movie. That was the fun of the movie for me.

OK I admit it I had to see the move a second time so I could catch the plot. But it was well worth it. I did drag myself away from the toons to be able to understand what I was watching. Wondering where they were going with the whole story of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Having to apply what I knew about cartoons, or thought I knew to the plot and where things were going. To me this was a fun way to enjoy the combination of cartoons and real actors.

So as you can see I was willing to spend money to go out to the movies - rare for me. And 25 years later I am able to share it with our kids. Yes this is a good family movie. That's rated PG.

There is one thing to take into consideration. The kids of today may not know who a lot of the cartoon characters are. But I see that as a great way for you to talk to your kids and let them know who they are and where they came from. And more to the point share with you kids. Share how you know these characters and how you feel about them. Who knows you could have a family movie night just watching old cartoons.

One of my favorite scenes from the movie

Just so you don't think I am being short with you.

OK so now I am being short. Or at least the video is.

And for the final rabbit video, the trainer for the movie that got your attention in the first place.

And of course the trailer for The Last Starfighter.

Just in case you wish to see a trailer here it is for Big.

And last but certainly not least the trailer from The Blues Brothers.
