But it can be difficult to articulate <em>why <\/em>it looks \u201coff.\u201d Bringing two-dimensional characters to life \u2014 not just on the page, (or the computer screen), but in the real world \u2014 is a tall creative and technical order. And if certain details get missed, you can sidestep your way into an uncanny valley of sorts. Think Mary Poppins staring <em>through <\/em>rather than <em>at <\/em>the dancing cartoon penguins. Or: <em>Cool World<\/em>\u2018s femme fatale, Holli Would, feeling like she\u2019s on another plane of existence than her lusty male co-stars.<\/p>\n<p>With no disrespect meant to <em>Space Jam: A New Legacy<\/em>, when it comes to live-action animation, one movie stands apart: <em><strong>Who Framed Roger Rabbit<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em>Released in 1988 and directed by <strong>Robert Zemeckis<\/strong>, it sees gruff private eye Eddie Valiant (<strong>Bob Hoskins<\/strong>) investigating the marriage of Maroon Cartoon Studios\u2019 star player, Roger Rabbit. Like his wife, Jessica, Roger is a \u201ctoon,\u201d and they\u2019re members of a kind of undervalued artist class. As Eddie digs through Jessica\u2019s dirty laundry, her rumored lover, Marvin Acme, turns up dead. With Roger pegged as the killer and Eddie convinced of his innocence, the pair team up to solve Acme\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n<p>With human\/cartoon interaction being, uh,\u00a0<em>central\u00a0<\/em>to the film, believable living animation was a must, to put it mildly. So the animators came up with a couple of rules to \u201csell\u201d the gag:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Maintain the eye-line between animated and human characters.<\/li>\n<li>Sell the illusion of physical interaction.<\/li>\n<li>Light and shadow accuracy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The video essay below delves deeper into each of these three rules and how their tireless implementation made <em>Who Framed Roger Rabbit\u00a0<\/em>feel so dang special.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_%E2%80%9CWho_Framed_Roger_Rabbit_%E2%80%93_The_3_Rules_of_Living_Animation%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Watch \u201cWho Framed Roger Rabbit \u2013 The 3 Rules of Living Animation\u201d:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Who Framed Roger Rabbit - The 3 Rules of Living Animation\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RWtt3Tmnij4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This video essay on the rules of living animation according to <em>Who Framed Roger Rabbit <\/em>is by <strong>k<\/strong><strong>aptainkristian<\/strong>.
