On paper I should like this film more than I did, since it's an homage to the old Looney Tunes cartoons mashed up with film noir, things I love, and had special effects integrating animation with real actors that still hold up today. I like how subversive it is, with the darkness of the toxic chemical substance and the critique of consumerism and corruption. I didn't like the new toons - the character and voice of Roger Rabbit (Charles Fleischer) was unappealing, and the giant boobs on Jessica Rabbit (Kathleen Turner) were too much. Something about it lacked the charm of the old cartoons, as if it was working too hard to get all the references and slapstick in. It's certainly watchable, and amusing to pick up on all of its references, but fell a little short for me.
