    Watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I saw it as a kid, but don’t really remember it. The movie was famous for the technological first of mixing animation with live film.

      Also for having Warner Bros and Disney characters together. That was also a first. Piano battle with Daffy and Donald ducks. Parachute scene with Mickey and Bugs etc.

      I don’t know that could be done today. IP and branding is so much more protected these days. Licensing the leading characters may not be possible.

        Not super. Got some darker bits but it’s a noir detective story mash up with comedy and nostalgic cartoon characters and classic cartoon style gags.
