"I'm not bad. I'm just
drawn that way." – Jessica Rabbit
Why watch this?
... to watch, in awe, the genius it took to intertwine humans and
cartoons into the same celluloid space.
Plot Summary: In
1947 Los Angeles, where cartoons and humans coexist, a private
detective who loathes toons takes a case involving a rabbit toon
star accused of murder. As the detective investigates, he
uncovers a complex conspiracy that threatens the existence of
Toontown, the animated metropolis where toons reside.
Dad's Preview:
I am always a fan of something new and inventive, even if the
effort sometimes falls short. This film is an example
where expectations were exceeded. Director Zemeckis creates a 1950s-ish world
where humans and cartoons co-exist, and it's
business-as-usual. This is an easy film to love. It has all
our favorite cartoon characters (Mickey, Donald, Daffy, Porky,
etc.), zany slapstick bits, devious villains, a
wonderful
ending... and let's not forget naughtily-drawn bombshell, Jessica Rabbit.
