Who Framed Roger Rabbit directed by Robert Zemekis is a film that as each year passes becomes more important. Made when so many of the originators of the animated short were still around to contribute and scrutinize the final product. The pre-CGI special effects are a total romp and just another analog aspect of this stunning achievement. So, as well as being a brilliant homage to the glory of full animation it is also a social commentary on the corporate automotive agenda that still plagues us today, poor mass transit and terrible consumer options. A reveal, if one wants to know who Judge Doom really was you have to watch The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Just shake the weasels... Mr Winkie.

With the entire film intact so many of the ambiguities that made the original release seem uneven are smoothed out. Every scene is a work of art. This is cinema on the grandest of scales.

Unfortunately, so are greed, racism, and hatred it would seem. These are precious moments in time forever captured on film so we can remember, and hopefully affect positive change by virtue of this amazing woman and the foundation of goodwill she and others poured.
