Who Framed Roger Rabbit - The 3 Rules of Living Animation

1.3M views · 9 years ago · essay · evergreen

A video essay by kaptainkristian on how Who Framed Roger Rabbit makes its cartoon characters feel like they live in the same world as the live actors. It breaks the film's technique down into three rules of "living" animation.

HN people treat it as a good companion to the film and to the idea of "bumping the lamp", enough that one commenter went back to re-watch the movie.

A great video on Who Framed Roger Rabbit and bumping the lamp is kaptainkristian's: ▶ this video . Seeing this just the other day inspired me to re-watch the film last night, and I wasn't disappointed: it holds up well.
