Common Sense Review Reviewed By: Ed Grant The movie that popularized the term "toon," ROGER RABBIT won four Oscars for its imaginative visual effects.
Parents should know that some of the nuances of the story line and much of the film's humor will go right over children's heads.

Endless inventive, this wonderfully clever film offers a brilliant pastiche of Looney Toons in "Somethin's Cookin'," the Maroon Cartoons short Roger and his costar Baby Herman (the voice of Lou Hirsch) are shooting as the movie opens; cameos by famous toons, like the piano duel between Donald Duck and Daffy Duck, which allowed toons from two studios who'd never meet in the "real" screen history we know to butt heads; and an incredible attention to detail, both visual and in dialogue, that makes... ...

Third, and most serious, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT has been edited, changing a few "dirty" frames of the movie that have been deemed offensive by the powers that be.
First of all, the DVD offers zero supplements- this disc really should have been a full-blown special edition that included all the Roger Rabbit cartoons.
