This is a pretty special film, for a number of reasons. The one that always gets me though its the character licensing. Not only are Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse in the same film but they share the screen and have conversations with one another. It boggles the mind. Only someone as crazy as Robert Zemeckis and some with the clout of Steven Spielberg could pull that off.

The interaction between the toons and the real world is the other thing I love watching in this film. There's some wonderful gags here.

I like that they're trying to tell a 40's noir detective story but in a world that's completely the opposite that kind of story should be in. I think they nail those toon characters, their behaviour, they way they are almost equal parts annoying and hilarious.

And then there's Christopher Lloyd, who is the stuff of nightmares in this film. Permanent scarring.

Great to catch up with this one again. There's been talks of a sequel for some time now, but it doesn't seem close to happening. I like that this film stands on its own though.
