	Media	Author	Review
		Janet Maslin The New York Times	"A film whose best moments are so novel, so deliriously funny and so crazily unexpected that they truly must be seen to be believed."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[It] is sheer, enchanted entertainment from the first frame to the last - a joyous, giddy, goofy celebration of the kind of fun you can have with a movie camera (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Gene Siskel Chicago Reader	"This is a movie that demands to be seen twice. The first time, one is likely to be dazzled to the point of exhaustion; the second time, one can appreciate the artistry and good humor more easily (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"An instant slapstick classic (...) Already, it's a hare's breadth away from legend."
		Ian Freer Empire	"Part animation, part film noir, part slapstick comedy (...) [It] is all astonishing technical know-how in the service of infectious exuberance and pure wonder (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune	"More than a technological wonder, 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' is brilliantly funny, bracingly smart and surprisingly moving (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Sal Cinquemani Slant	"Fifteen years after its theatrical release, [it] still stands the test of time. In a digital era of CGI effects and computer animation, Zemeckis’s live-action/cartoon feature is both enduring and endearing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Tom Hutchinson Radio Times	"[It] led the way for the likes of 'Space Jam' and 'Toy Story' (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
