Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out in 1988, making the movie 38 years old. Usually when Screen Junkies goes back to do an Honest Trailer for an older film, there's a reason, like a sequel or a remake coming out. In this case, there's no reason at all besides they wanted to. Maybe they wanted to play with clips of Jessica Rabbit.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a film noir in a world where people and 'toons lived side by side. It was a comedy that showcased special effects never seen before, melding live action with animation. It won four Oscars and became the second-highest grossing film of 1988. It was also notable for including both Disney and Warner Bros cartoons, so it was the first time we saw Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny interacting. Disney was leery of the movie's violence and adult themes that were standard in old Warner Bros. cartoons, and released Who Framed Roger Rabbit through their Touchstone Pictures studio instead of Disney. Kids loved the film as well as a adults, but the movie might have a hard time getting made today.
