				"I'm not bad. I'm just 
				drawn that way." – Jessica Rabbit 
				Why watch this?
				... to watch, in awe, the genius it took to intertwine humans and 
				cartoons into the same celluloid space. 
				Plot Summary: In 
				1947 Los Angeles, where cartoons and humans coexist, a private 
				detective who loathes toons takes a case involving a rabbit toon 
				star accused of murder. As the detective investigates, he 
				uncovers a complex conspiracy that threatens the existence of 
				Toontown, the animated metropolis where toons reside. Dad's Preview: 
				I am always a fan of something new and inventive, even if the 
				effort sometimes falls short. This film is an example 
				where expectations were exceeded. Director Zemeckis creates a 1950s-ish world 
				where humans and cartoons co-exist, and it's 
				business-as-usual. This is an easy film to love. It has all 
				our favorite cartoon characters (Mickey, Donald, Daffy, Porky, 
				etc.), zany slapstick bits, devious villains, a 
				wonderful 
				ending... and let's not forget naughtily-drawn bombshell, Jessica Rabbit.
