This movie is such a rare case for me, as it unequivocally checks all the boxes in an outstanding fashion. It blends drawn animation and live-action perfectly while telling a 1940's film noir story, which are hard to screw up in my opinion. The film ages remarkably well, partly due to it being a faux period piece in the first place and also the balanced use of timeless characters that don't overstay their welcome. Visually I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. Voice acting aside, the real actors on screen, especially Hoskins, make you believe the animated characters are really there and that's a true testament to great acting. Most importantly I feel, the film leaves you wanting more and you really can't find this magic truly anywhere else, that void can only be filled with replays of Roger Rabbit.
I always believe a 10 rating should be reserved for movies that you find so great, that if you happen across it playing at any juncture of the film you will stop, watch, & enjoy. Who Framed Roger Rabbit fits that mold like a toon-sized hole in the wall.
