On this month's super-sized, feature-length edition of Animation Damnation, the guys are chatting about the absolute masterpiece, Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Does this movie even have a chance of succeeding without the brilliance and total commitment of the legendary Bob Hoskins? Isn't it great to go back to a time when people actually took their time and put some real, honest-to-goodness craft behind their major studio films? Has there been a more terrifying villain for a "kids" film than Judge Doom? And who among us hasn't thought about dropping a little animated shoe into The Dip?

In the book, comic strips are handled like photography and modeling, where they set up the frame and take a picture. The toons also had word balloons in real life.

I have clear memories of obsessively playing a Roger Rabbit board game as a kid. Many happy hours oggling the character cards.

The 80s when PG meant something.

lol Yeah. Maybe it's the tall glass of water talking, but I remember when I was 11 or so and my dad showed me war Games. There wasn't really much swearing in my house, so that seemed like a lot to me for a PG film. lol I was a weird kid! I haven't gotten to hear the guys' live take on that one, but I greatly look forward to it.

Bob Hoskins is human. His entire career was him NOT being a movie star. He's a short fat man with a receding hairline. Nothing about him is prepared or sculpted, so he's the perfect companion for a cartoon.

This is why Brad Pitt doesn't work at all in Cool World. He's already a cartoon converting him to animation has no effect on the viewing experience.

need you guys to know that after you said harrison ford, chevy chase, and bill murray were considered for hoskins’ role i said out loud to myself that they lack the sincerity required and then chris said that same thing right after
