Maroon (Alan Tilvern) gives Eddie the details of a new PI job following Roger’s knockout wife Jessica Rabbit (Kathleen Turner), who is suspected of having an affair. He grumbles, “Toons.” (What’s his deal with cartoons? Stay tuned.) Maroon Cartoons owner R.K. The camera pulls back to reveal they’re on a film set with a frustrated director because Roger flubbed his line.Īlso on set is the disgruntled private detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) casually taking a swig from a bottle (not even obscured by a paper bag). It has all the usual cartoonish elements - bulging eyes, an inept caretaker, a dangerously curious child, electrocution, and post-head injury circling little birdies, the telltale sign of toon dizziness. Before any humans appear on-screen, we’re treated to the latest Baby Herman (Lou Hirsch) and Roger Rabbit (Charles Fleischer) wacky collaboration. To honor its 35th anniversary, let’s look back on Who Framed Roger Rabbit. (Plus, it’s the only film to have Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny together on-screen.) However, it was arguably the most influential and innovative. It wasn’t the first film to feature real actors and animated characters together, and it wasn’t the last. The revolutionary animation and live-action hybrid is often credited for igniting the Disney Renaissance and influencing countless filmmakers and animators. Seaman ( How the Grinch Stole Christmas), the Disney-fied Who Framed Roger Rabbit that hit theaters June 22, 1988, was a huge box-office success. With the direction of Robert Zemeckis ( Back to the Future) and a screenplay by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Negotiations resulted in a blend of cartoons from Disney, Warner Bros., MGM, Fleischer Studios/Paramount, and more, featuring everyone from Betty Boop to the Looney Tunes to the magic brooms from Fantasia. Unsurprisingly, Spielberg was able to get studios to lend their IP. the Extra-Terrestrial) and Amblin Entertainment. Walt Disney Pictures bought the rights from Wolf and produced the film alongside Steven Spielberg ( E.T.

That’s not exactly surprising to hear since Ping Pong is full of impressive choreography and cinematography that perfectly lends itself to something as chaotic and action-packed as Fullmetal Alchemist. In fact, he apparently got this gig because of his work on his adaptation of Ping Pong. This does feel a little strange at first and Sori has spoken about his reluctance about this decision, but it’s a choice that makes sense due to the nature of this production.įullmetal Alchemist isn’t the first anime that Fumihiko Sori has adapted to live-action. Sori uses an entirely Japanese cast here even though the film is set in Europe (specifically Italy). Some moments are dead-on, but he sometimes lacks the alarmingly chipper attitude that fuels Ed in the anime. The rest of the cast, like Dean Fujioka who plays the conflicted Roy Mustang, and Yasuko Matsuyuki, who brings the unhinged monster Lust to life, all channel their anime equivalents well. However, when the film moves into more challenging territory Yamada does seem to have a harder time channeling Ed’s more complex emotions. In spite of this, Yamada has the right look for the innocent, naive elf-like character. Yamada is from the pop-idol group Hey! Say! JUMP and he’s more of a musician than an actor. The role goes to Ryosuke Yamada, which apparently caused a fair bit of controversy over in Japan. Sori’s casting of Ed may be a big point of contention for some viewers. That’s still a fair bit to cram into a single film and Fullmetal Alchemist definitely feels like it covers a lot of ground. Ed then sacrifices a literal arm and a leg in order to bind Al’s soul to a suit of armor and at least allow him the ability to move and speak. It’s not practical to cover approximately 60 anime episodes worth of material, so Sori’s film tackles the infamously tragic first arc of the series. It’s a disastrous decision that leads to Alphonse losing his entire body. Life and death aren’t to be played around with, yet Ed and Al persist and try to bring back their dead mother. It’s a simple enough shonen-style narrative and the series excels in its efforts to throw wild concepts at the audience, but this bizarre jumble of science, magic, civil war, and action somehow comes together, just like…alchemy. Alchemy itself is given a lot of leeway in the film’s universe, but one area in which there are a number of restrictions is when it comes to the topic of resurrection. Sori taps into the spirit and wondrous feeling of the anime and it’s clear that he is a fan of the source material, which is paramount for a project of this nature.įullmetal Alchemist tells the story of the two Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse, two prodigies on the hunt for the elusive Philosopher’s Stone. Fumihiko Sori’s film adaptation isn’t a complete success, but there are moments where the movie is pure magic. Fullmetal Alchemist (and Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood) is considered by many to be one of the best anime of all time. On the other hand, Takashi Miike tends to strike gold with the genre and has turned challenging works likes Phoenix Wright, Terra Formers, and Jo Jo’s Bizarre Adventure into worthwhile films, while the recent live-action take on Gintama was surprisingly impressive.īut it’s an uphill battle for something like Fullmetal Alchemist, especially when the property in question is such a beloved series. Recent adaptations of Tokyo Ghoul, Death Note, and Attack on Titan were all met with mixed reactions (and the less said about Ghost in the Shell, the better). Live-action anime adaptations are especially difficult propositions.
