New respect for an old movie

[Basil]

I have this movie and have enjoyed it numerous times - but I had no idea the amount of work that went into - Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Shooting each scene twice (with a stuffed animal) has become pretty standard. I worked on the first 2 Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. Also did Hop and G-force. Those had computer animals though but the concept of eye lines is the same.

Pretty amazing stuff.

Similarly, those claymation movies (Wallace and Gromit) astund me with the sheer amount of work that goes into not only modelling the characters, but also the infinite posing of those figures just for a second's worth of film.

Remember the old Jason and the Argonauts stop-action movie?

And.... Pokey.
It's like leaving out Jimmy Olsen, Tonto, and Bullwinkle

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a GREAT movie. I grew up without a TV, so a little in the dark ages - but Roger Rabbit taught me that cartoon characters never die.

"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way"
"The problem is I have a fifty year old mind, but the rest of me is five months old..."
