Who Framed Roger Rabbit follows the adventures of an animated rabbit framed for murder, and the detective who helps him clear his name. You know the movie, nostalgia aside you most likely (like us) love the movie and it’s a marvel on all fronts. There really hasn’t been anything like it before or since and it speaks to how special a project it really is. The Special Edition released some years back was a stellar edition but this, with mostly retreaded special features is worth it in this cleaned up and much cleaner presentation. P-p-p-p-p-please, do yourself a favor and p-p-p-pick it up!
