Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Remember when Robert Zemeckis was actually producing movies that were enjoyable and just well-made flicks such as Back to the Future, before he turned to films using actors to make animation that looks just like the actors but then why don't you just use the actors instead having a creepy Tom Hanks-esque doll thing in our faces and leading animation fans such as myself to drink in copious amounts? Well, there was that time. Before all the Beowulf and A Christmas Carol crap, he actually churned out some impressive stuff. The aforementioned Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, and one of my personal favorites, Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Look! Cartoons that look like cartoons! People played by people!

This is a very hard film to get into; it's just that bizarre. After all, it features mostly live-action sets and such, except that cartoon characters are also everywhere. And everyone's just okay with it! Even weirder is the fact that Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny are together for a shot. Disney really pulled out all the stops to get more cartoon characters than just their own in.
Yet for all the weirdness and goofiness that the film seems to carry, it is, at heart, a dark comedy/murder-mystery. And that's just part of what makes it so great. Seeing these goofy cartoon characters be thrust into situations that are at times just downright terrifying is...well, kinda like old cartoons.
The performances are also solid. Most notable are Christopher Lloyd as the villain, Judge Doom, and Bob Hoskins as our hero, Eddie Valiant, a down-on-his-luck, hard-boiled detective with a drinking problem.
Watching him drink though just makes you all the thirstier for your own alcohol. This is just a plain fun movie, and, as always, it has it's little quirks to notice. Hence why I present to you the Who Framed Roger Rabbit drinking game!

Jessica Rabbit: the reason toons deserve to walk amongst men.

I've got several ways to play the game. I'd recommend the medium, but you can go any of the other ways depending on how your tolerance is.

LIGHT DRINKERS: DRINK WHENEVER Goofy is mentioned or seen. Two shots if he actually shows up in person.

MEDIUM DRINKERS: DRINK WHENEVER someone drinks. Just keep watching Eddie.
OR
DRINK WHENEVER there is a classic cartoon gag used. Such as the portable holes, birds around the head, or the hilarious "You do, I don't" scene.


HEAVY DRINKERS: DRINK WHENVER a cartoon interacts with live-action, such as bumping into people, splashing water, lifting a skirt in passing, knocking over their bench, etc. Seriously, Zemeckis really tries to shove the effects in your face.


A word of advice: should one of your friends go ballistic and trash the whole room after their shot...don't let them have a second.

And th-th-th-that's all folks!

Don't play this game and drive, kids.
