"One of the greatest British gangster films ever made in the Thatcher era. Bob Hoskins is at his best, and there’s a small part for the actor who plays Charlie in BBC’s Casualty. —GB"

Ground-breaking animation technique for the time with the late great Bob Hoskins as a detective hired to investigate a murder, very clever blend of toons and live action and derserved of the oscars received, however not one I would watch again.

"When I first saw Mona Lisa, I had no idea who Bob Hoskins was (I was eight). I honestly thought they paid some low-rent criminal money to be in this movie. He was so believable that when I saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I was like “Hey, that guy really turned his life around. This movie is huge. Good for him.”"

A surprisingly good part animated comedy based on the Garfield comic strip. I liked this one more than the first one. This has plenty of other animals being voiced over by a range of well known actors including Bob Hoskins as a British bulldog and Vinnie Jones as a rottweiler, what else? With Bill Murray voicing Garfield. Perfect for kids and older fans of Garfield.

Fun for everyone
I love this movie!! Roger is such a clumsy, adorable, crazy character that you can't help falling in love with.
Bob Hoskins is great in this role as the grumpy detective who hates toons.
And Jessica Rabbit, voiced perfectly by Kathleen Turner, is fantastic.
The crossover from animation to real action is seemless. It is a movie to enjoy over and over.

"I love Mona Lisa. Bob Hoskins and Neil Jordan. It’s such an incredible movie. It’s really, really, really good. It was very, stylistically and in the production design, it’s very ’80s, very late ’70s-’80s looking. And it’s one of those movies that has a song that was written for it, you know, like they used to like to do in the ’80s. [laughs] It’s such an incredibly well made film, and it’s so interesting, a really dark, twisted, well acted story."

It's me mario
Start the review by saying it's a better movie than the Bob Hoskins movie there said it. Anyway the movie this is proper Mario bros from start to finish the look of characters the easter eggs thruout the movie which I spotted thru the movie just because I've the played games when I had an Nintendo console back in the 90s one gripe I had was Mario and lugi should have sounded more Italian than they do anyway take the kids to see the movie

A masterpiece of American animation
The movie starts with a cartoon that could just about pass as one of our favorite cartoons from the 40s (if not for the computer-hand-drawn objects within) & from there, it's non-stop. We're treated to a noir, but very colorful, detective story filled with American animations best characters. Characters from different studios share the screen for the first time ever. Bugs & Mickey, Donald & Daffy & a scene at the end which has just about everybody. The mixture of live-action with animation is nothing short of remarkable & a great technical achievement. Of course, they would not seem to interact so well if not for the human actors themselves. A lot of times, even today, when actors are working against nothing, they seem to stare to the wrong spot or past the character. But in Roger Rabbit, it's not the case. Hoskins is great at keeping this illusion. I heard there may be a sequel in the works & hope that it's true. Hopefully, they get the rights to Popeye this time.

Full of charm and great character dynamics
Entertaining musical numbers
Plenty of humor balanced perfectly with the seriousness of the time period
Beautiful costumes and cinematography
Historical film about a vaudeville show with live nude girls during the WWII era in London
New widow Laura Henderson decides to use her wealth to purchase an abandoned theater out of boredom. Her sense of entitlement and class related arrogance can prove at times to be annoying and at times rudely persistent, especially when it comes to her relationship with the man who she chose to manage her theater, Vivian Van Dame, but with all her schemes and meddling, it shows that deep down, she always has the best of intentions.
