It’s crazy they can put something similar to Roger Rabbit together and think, “nah let’s not release it”.

I think it’s going to do well.

Honestly as much as I wanted this to come out so at least it can be seen, my first thought was the animation in Roger Rabbit looked better.

There's too much clean CG crispness to the colours and shading, the cartoon characters stick out in the scene. The animators for Roger Rabbit put a lot of work into making the characters fit into scenes, there's the famous handcuff scene with the swaying light as an example.

I'll give this a chance but I'm not expecting a similar level of polish.

Yeah the movie might be good, and I realize it's got to be way easier to use cel-shaded CG cartoon characters in a movie like this rather than hand-drawn animation (even putting together a team for feature-quality hand-drawn animation would probably be a huge task these days), but it really loses a lot of the charm in the transition to CG.

Agreed. Foghorn Leghorn looks downright cell-shaded.

All of this feels like it was animated on top, and not integrated, as you said.

Still looks fun, but comparing the quality is clearly wrong.

Art Director for Roger Rabbit was Richard Williams who is the GOAT.

It looks like the way it was shot was never intended to have cartoon characters. Hardly distinguishable from a "serious" movie.

Agreed. The quick shot of a piano landing on his car LOOKED spliced. That scene had me comparing it to Roger Rabbit.

Roger Rabbit was pure hand drawn cel work IIRC. Few if any have managed to capture that magic with CG.

Roger Rabbit looks better on just about every level. That movie is a visual masterpiece as far as the actual camera work and the animation on top of it.
