Who Framed Roger Rabbit was one of the first live action films to incorporate the usage of CGI cartoon characters. As film critic Janet Maslin of The New York Times stated upon its release, it was not the first time cartoon characters and live action humans have shared the screen, but in this case, it is the first time they have done it on their own terms and made it look real.
A time before cartoon characters have appeared with live action actors was in Mary Poppins but this time the characters were rendered in 3D to give them a more realistic, smoother, well rounded look.
The legacy of this film's groundbreaking techniques lives on in films such as Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back in Action.
