Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pure nostalgia with this film undoubtedly a jewel, beautiful slipcover and already in the 4K collection

This is an astounding looking 4k but the film itself had me in awe. There are so many details and effects marrying the in camera film with the animated elements. It's very impressive and def holds up. And when Jessica Rabbit makes her initial appearance it still drops the jaw. Highly recommended.

The movie has great sound and a clear picture. It also has bonus features that are real enjoyable.

Classic movie never looked so good. 4k makes this look like a brand new movie

What can be said about Who Framed Roger Rabbit that hasn’t already been said? It is a modern classic and largely the film that should be credited with catalyzing interest in animation at Disney among its new executive team in the mid 1980s leading to favorite films like Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King and Aladdin. But that is the legacy of this film…and this review is of this film and - specifically the 4K. So, is this version worth it, especially since many probably already own it or have access to it on Disney +? The answer is an unequivocally yes! Forget the sheer quality, creativity and unique vision of the film. This new version features a brand new transfer that not only was used to produce the 4K disc (obviously an amazing experience if you have the hardware to play and display the movie in that manner) but ALSO the blu ray. THis is NOT the same blu- ray transfer as the BD/DVD combo from a few years ago (which I *ahem* have) and its certainly different from the 2 disc DVD collectors set from even more than a few years ago (which I *ahem* also own) and it’s a HUGE increase from the original VHS release of the film (which I *ahem* still own…love those foil hearts on the box). This is the best the film has ever looked (and that includes in theaters in 1988…yes, I saw it three times back then). So yea…classic film that holds up in its plot, its characters, its special effects and its humor over the nearly 35 years since it was created…check. Integrated animation (via CGI) is common place today, but it wasn’t back in 1988. Who Framed Roger Rabbit uses hand drawn animation in a way that had never been done. Sure, animation live action hybrids exist all the way back to the Alice comedies of a century ago and Disney’s Song of the South, Mary Poppins, and Pete’s Dragon utilized the integrated techniques well. But if you watch those films (at least two, since Song of the South isn’t available) you may notice that when the animated characters are on screen the camera doesn’t move in three dimensional space. It pans up or down and left or right. That’s because moving a hand drawn image in three dimensional space via traditional animation is technically difficult. Roger Rabbit was filmed as a regular movie with camera sweeps, pans and 3d movement. It’s animation moves as well and is truly astounding from a technical level. New Transfer showcasing the film like never before? Check. The film looks gorgeous and if it was just made. Extras plentiful and insightful…sorta check. They ARE but if you own this film on Blu Ray or that 2 disc DVD edition, you already have seen these extras. So final verdict? Highly recommended for the film itself and for the new technical aspects of the transfer. Roger Rabbit holds up as a true all ages classic that takes well defined and relatable characters and puts them in a noir style ish murder mystery plot that reinvents the golden age of animation in such a way that it seems like the WB and Disney and Fleischer characters always existed within this context. If you’ve seen Roger Rabbit, treat yourself to this version all over again. If you’ve never seen it…go see it. Right now. As Roger said, a laugh is a very powerful thing. Even if you’re not into animation or comedies, who couldn’t use a laugh as we close out 2021 and head into an uncertain 2022? Thanks for nearly 35 years of laughs Roger and I’m happy to have this new version to generate another 35 years of them…

Funny, and great effects throughout movie. Cartoon and human acting tops! Looking for comedy, love, and drama, its all in Who framed Roger Rabbit. Great oldie to add to collection.

Great pick up . Wish i gotten the steelbook but this is noce. Film looks great with everything i remember from when i was little.

So surprised that i even found this on disc! Absolutely love this movie so much!

Still enjoyable to watch. Love the characters and now it travels with me with the digital copy.

On of the greatest movies of my childhood. Love it!

Umm. Roger rabbit on 4k, niw you have to own this movie. Its a classic and a must have for your collection

This is a classic from when I was a kid. Great for children and great movie

Always a fun choice to view anytime anywhere for everyone

Roger Rabbit is still a fun movie and holds up well after all these years. The 4K Blu-ray looks very good and is an upgrade from the HD blu-ray (although not a MASSIVE one). A large percentage of the movie involves optical effects to combine animated characters with live people and in the era in which the film was made, that meant losing at (the very least) one full additional generation from the negative. ILM did a great job reducing the loss in sharpness and increase in contrast to a minimum, but the loss is still there. Never the less, this movie by director Robert Zemikis (the director of Back to the Future and Forrest Gump) will never look like the absolute best 4K blurays in existance. I was very pleased with the quality, but it isn't mind blowing. Still, Who Framed Roger Rabbit will never look better and this disc comes highly recommended.

i love animation and this film is full of great animation

Excellent. Disney and Looney Tunes characters coming together on screen for the first time. The HDR still keeps this movie very natural and appropriate for a live action film. Cartoons don't look to outlandish compared to the live action elements. The new Dolby Atmos audio presentation makes this worth the upgrade over the standard blu ray. Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg and groundbreaking technology equals a movie you should have in your collection.

It is perhaps the most iconic animated/live action film ever, perhaps even more so than Toy Story, The Lion King, etc. The movie brings a creative idea, where what if cartoons are real and they exist in the same world as real life people. The film has an incredible concept based on a surreal style of humor.

I bought this on 4k ultra hd cause i have roger rabbit in dvd .but when i saw it on 4k to be honest this movie is to old for a better upgrade version i didnt see much of the difference i was kinda disappointed on this one.i still love the movie my favorite but 4k wasnt really 4k it was upscaling it to 4k but still look like a dvd.

Without a doubt, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is a stone-cold classic family film. This 4K release only confirms it, with improved picture and sound that improves on previous versions. All of the features from earlier DVDs and Blu-rays are included, which doesn't always happen nowadays with re-releases. Very much worth the upgrade.

I wanted to get the steelbook but I couldn't so I purchased this copy and I'm very happy with it. The transfer look fantastic and the audio is good as well. It's not reference material but a fun enjoyable movie to watch. Thou Disney+ has the movie in there catalog nothing beats physical media. Thank you BestBuy.
