All right, I went into this very hesitant, because Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is easily a top tier movie for me. It's rare but not unheard of for me to like a movie better than its source material, so I was wary! But honestly, this was so far removed from the movie that it was easy to separate the two in my mind. I mean, it has the familiar characters: Roger, of course, and Eddie; Roger's beloved wife, Jessica, and Baby Herman are all present, but there's no Judge Doom (the most terrifying movie villain of all time tbh) and it doesn't appear to be set in the past. There are a multitude of differences like this, and it took a little bit of adjustment (especially concerning the visualization of Toons having actual speech bubbles that accompany them talking, which was kind of cool) but I ended up really digging it. I had some issues, but honestly it was a good time! I still prefer silly movie Roger over sadsack Roger in the book, but both have merits, and like I said: these are two pretty distinct works. 3.5 hardboiled detectives working with cartoon rabbits out of 5.
