Movie Review: The Mitchells vs The Machines

 Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my movie review.

Even since i got struck by the virus to this day (as well as stupid people and truckers protesting at Ottawa that im very pissed what i saw, as a innocent Canadian person with support of vaccination for the third time), we were very disappointed and depressed that we never have a chance nor time to see the movies on the big screen, i mean the last time i ever watched in theater is Pixar's Onward before my nuclear meltdown. Despite all the stupidity and madness we've been dealing to this day, we still got a chance and time to watch some movies, on streams and digital downloads. With one film that i found for my curiosity to give it a shot, after came out last year (Yup, another one, my friend).

"The Mitchells vs The Machines" is a 2021 sci-fi comedy film that was written/directed by mike Rianda, produced by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller (the memorable filmmaking duo) and Kurt Albrech, and co-written by Jeff Rowe.

This might be interesting thing for my review, cause this is the fist time i review a movie came from Netflix. Before you ask, no, i never subscribed anymore, i subscribed once in a month since i think 2018 to see the shows like Aggretsuko (i watched the first season and i had a great time that i loved the show) and Twelve Forever (a potential show to major disappointment...!), even though this was before Netflix becoming a streaming service that its going down from hill with killing off shows way too early and subscription price raised up unfairly (No wonder why im still subscribing Disney+).

Anyway, the movie's idea came from Mike Rianda after working on the first season of "Gravity Falls", he had a pitching idea to Sony Pictures Animation based on his childhood trip with his experience of his family and robots, and he got approved along with the help of Phil Lord and Chris Miller, though before we have our current title, it was originally to be called "Connected", but one the virus hit us hard and Rianda isn't a huge fan of the alternative name, not only it changed by to "The Mitchells vs. The Machines", but Sony sold the movie on Netflix, which sadly, i never get a change to subscribing back based on either my job or other movies im reviewing.

Of course by the time the film was released, it was surprisingly well-received for the animation style with quality, fun voice acting, the action moments and several more about it. Though i was about to know about the box-office, but it was available free to watch on Netflix, but this movie received 53 million households since its first released. I was happy to hear, but hesitant to never able to watch from DVD, Blu-Ray or digitally, thankfully, Sony did released this film in home media, which im happy i got the physical copy from Walmart.

So, with all that said, will the family trip will be fun to go, or is trip feels like we're taking to the space of death?

Well, lets find out.

The Story

For a movie about family trip and facing against the machines, its a quite of unique story with a fun execution.

The movie begins at the chaos, but before that, we introducing our main Michell named Katie who's an aspired filmmaker that she likes to making mini movies ever since her childhood and she's ready for her film school at California, however, her father Rick, felt that her filmmaking is too much that it ruined the family that she wants to stop and asking for family trip (which is due to the fact that he has Technophobic, typical family problem). And after a fight that he ruined her laptop, Rick tries to cheer her up to having a family road trip to cross-country in order to build her college up, which it didn't help her that much. Meanwhile, the scientist entrepreneur named Dr. Mark Bowman who, after invented the AI PAL from "PAL Labs", tries to making a new AI to replacing virtual assistance to an actual assistant, a Robot assistant to be precise, however, his AI PAL is angry for replacement that she takes control the robots for rampage, its not just rampage, but also planning to wiping out humans to outer space! As a result, the Mitchells trip ended up gone wrong when the robots are going rampage to destroy the humanities, its up to Katie and her family to survive and stop the evil threat from PAL.

This movie may sounds like a generic humans vs the machines, but the execution may sounds like impressive and somehow related, cause as we all know, we all love technology from making videos, social medias and video chats, it may sounds like fun, but sometimes, even we love AI assistant, we seems to forget it to moving something new, even though the machines wants us back whether we like to bring back or not. Even though sometimes this movie is like if the late Stephen Hawking has a concern prediction that if we push too far at AI, they'll turning against us, it may sounds like exaggeration, but that was his own prediction before he passed away (R.I.P., Hawking...), though maybe he had a good point, cause we're like zombies, for being over distracted from technologies like phones laptop and such in order to get attention, though sometimes we always want take these to our level for our career, especially for Katie when it comes to her filmmaking experience. Like i said, the plot of humans vs machines has been done before, but at least the execution is pretty good and related how we've been.

Of course, another plot element of this movie is the father and kid relationship, mainly the relation between Katie and Rick with aside of aforementioned technology, Rick just wants to bring back to the good'ol days when he and his family use to love to going on trip with cross-country and others before the rise of advanced technology with chaos. but you know what this reminds me of? It reminds of Sony's old animated movie "Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs", it has a same plot and little bit similar style of presentation, though aside this movie's presentation is a lot more fun, flashy and action impact than Cloudy (which il get to that later), the father and kid relationship are somewhat the same, but at least this subplot has its focus while Cloudy has probably had a lackluster. This movie's subplot is also related how before we got too distracted on screens, we always just want to go back to remain positive since past without bickering all together for obvious reasons, since Katie loves to focus on his laptop and his phone for his friends and his filmmaking, while his father is struggling to stay together since he loves nature over than technology (again, based on his technophic), even though they did trying to get along to take a break from phones/laptop.

As for the humor of this movie, well, it surprisingly funny, sure if could be a bit annoying with some same jokes, but at least the jokes are not immature as Cloudy or even Hotel Transylvania, this joke is pretty funny with all the its fast-past style, flashy and unique level, which i actually had a good laugh for watching it.

Though the movie is nothing new for a typical plot of family trip gone wrong, human vs machines and father and kid relation, but its the execution has done right for its heart, relatable commentary and its funny.

The Animation

At first, when i saw the trailer and poster, i was a bit hesitant to be another questionable design style of Cloudy or Hotel Transylvania, but surprisingly, they went all in on same fashion as Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse, sorta.

For the backgrounds, it looks from nice looking to WOW! For starter, the background of normal like the village, the wild and others looks pretty cool in a 2D style like (which il get to that later), even though they may look like nothing new, but its nicely done for the quality's execution. But once we jump to PAL Labs, Boy, it looks soo damn cool, i like the way it presented to look something straight out of 80s based on vaporwave style, its flashy, its colorful and i think i agree with Mitchells, it looks and feels like the covers of Journey.

As for the designs and animation, they look pretty good as always in once again, in different style. For the humans like Mitchells, they were meant to be 2D style based on the concept arts, but since we jumped into 3D works as always, they made in 2D style 3D. I have to say, some they look a bit exaggerating, but they look pretty nice what they appeared, as well with a nice work of animation they make them look more smooth and a bit realistic. And as for PAL and the robots, they went in 3D style (and once again, 2D like from the AI PAL). For the robots, even though they look pretty generic, but i gott say, i like the idea of robots in voice-command with a bit of touch-screen (or "Touch-Face"?? Sorry...), even though they look not as creative, but at least some execution is pretty good. And we have AI PAL, who's obviously done with digital 2D on a simple face, which i find it pretty cute, even if she's way too cute to be threatening.

And as for the effects, with the help of Sony Pictures Imageworks, they took the same style and technique from Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse, and i have to say, they did a pretty good work for the style, but more flashy and colorful like the action scenes and even robot's blast to kidnapping humans to wiping out of humanity. Of course, the most often use of effect is "Katie-Vision", which is basically, even though Katie is the main protagonist, noticing plenty of effects from Katie with silly hand-drawn like style, again, rather exaggerated, but on this movie with Katie, im getting used to it, cause i like craftsmanship from Sony.

While it may not as creative, but its the execution of the animation for its impressive work of effects, the movements and even combination style of its design.

The Characters

For a chaotic journey of family trip, we expecting the characters will be memorable? Well, despite the dysfunctional parts, they're rather pretty good too, for the most part.

Lets starts with the first Mitchell, Katie (voiced by Abbi Jacobson), who's a quirky aspired filmmaker who likes to spend times to filming her contents for her college plan, despite she likes to going on her own style than being with her family. I find her quite of fascinating protagonist that despite being forced to be in family trip, she always having a dream of filmmaking for the her college and even her friends on online (kinda like we doing this in real life, right?), though she could be a struggling at the times from either being selfish for her projects so much or not interested of be careful from her father. Despite her flaws, i find her pretty good and somewhat relatable how we always like to be a filmmaker, despite we could be too much into the projects. And Abbi did a nice work of her role.

Speaking of which, we have Rick (voiced by Danny McBride), the father of the Mitchells who's having a hard time to be connected to his family members due to the fact he has a hatred of distraction from technology caring of nature. At first, i assumed he's gonna be one of those "love to hate character", but it turned out he's a difficulty father that he just wants to be connected together since their good'ol days instead of focus too much of screens and technology stuff, especially to dealing with his daughter Katie. He's another fascinating and related character, its always not easy to be together for family without making dysfunctional moments, and Danny also did a nice and fun work of his role.

The third member of the Mitchells is Linda (voiced by Maya Rudolph), the mother who likes to motivating her family members by optimism in order to, like Rick, stay together. Even though she's more of a sidekick in the movie, but she does have a chance to shine in a very interesting level, though i won't give more detail about her in the later part on this film, but Linda also did a good work of her role.

And we have Aaron (strangely voiced by Mike Rianda himself), a young brother of the Mitchells that unlike Katie, he's obsessed with dinosaurs, especially he likes to have knowledge about dinosaurs. Typical boy, obsessed with dinosaurs so much, otherwise if Katie let him watch either "Jurassic" Park or "We're Back", Aaron's mind will explode. All joke aside, he's also more of a sidekick to Katie, despite he had some humor moments that he's trying to be with Abbey Posey, but ended up embarrassed himself for his attempt of confession. I find him not bad, even if the voice of Aaron didn't fit from the film director Mike in my opinion.

And we have the main antagonist in the movie, PAL (voiced by Olivia Colman), the virtual assistant going rogue after being thrown out from replacement by robot assistant by becoming a puppet master at robots in attempt to wiping out humanity. Though sorta generic, but an AI assistant becoming a villain for taking over Earth? That might be the most over-the-top idea for main villain and of course, Olivia sold her performance for her ruthless and rogue of PAL, then again, probably reference from the late Hawking for his concern of AI going rogue.

As for the rest of the characters, they have some fascinating roles, but most of them are nothing add for plot purpose or not.

There's Eric and Deborahbot 5000 (voiced by Beck Bennett and Fred Armisen), the broken robots that they work with the Mitchells as a comedic protectors, which i gotta say, its nice to have two robots being turned away from PAL, Dr. Mark Bowman (voiced by the most Meme'd actor/comedian, Eric André) who's the scientist and technology entrepreneur of PAL labs for inventing virtual and robot assistant before ended making his AI PAL going rogue at humanity (So, blame Dr. Mark creating his monstrous AI??) and the Posey family, who're the neighbors of the Mitchells.

Despite some of them have flaws, but at least the characters are enjoyable to get through.

And now for my final opinion of this film

Overall, The Mitchells vs The Machines is a pretty fun movie from Netflix (then again, i bought this movie on DVD), while the story may not as creative, but its the execution has done well for relatable elements, characters are good to memorable, funny humors and of course, a very impressive work of animation in of course, same fashion of Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse.

Whether you watch on Netflix or physical medias, this is the film that you should definitely check it out either your friends or heck even a family. If i wanna do the redo of my top list of movies in 2021, even though it has some flaws, it would certainly put it around on top 5, not in a podium.

For my rating, im giving it an 8.5/10, the movie is close to earning my reward, but its still a fun movie.

So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on https://ko-fi.com/blackevil.

Movie Review: Who Framed Roger Rabbit

 

Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my Movie Review.

You know guys, crossover films is one the most rarest genre that many fans like to do a fanfic of crossovers, some are unique, and others just come off as too desperate to be good. Aside fanfics, we've seen a couple of films with crossovers, but like i said, some are impressive like MCUs with Avengers Endgame and others are nothing but disappointment (Yes, im looking at you, Space Jam: A New Legacy). But nothing can compare one film that many people was considered as the most Groundbreaking film ever made in the late 80's.

"Who framed Roger Rabbit" is a 1988 live-action/animated comedy mystery film that was directed Robert Zemeckis, Frank Marshall and Robert Watts and written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman. Along with Steven Spielberg as executive producer with his company Amblin Entertainment for collab.

This film was such a big deal at the time for the idea of a hybrid film that no one will ever imagined, though its no the first time we have that, the first cinematic hybrid type (or as i thought) came from 1943 Saludos Amigos, a packaged film where Donald Duck is on the trip in Latin America along with befriending Jose Carioca and later having a third best bud Panchito Pistoles in 1945 "The Three Caballeros", then decades later, we did have the return of hybrid technique in 1964 Mary Poppins. Oh and there's also Song of the South in 1946 which is... Well, pretty difficult to explain how controversial that not even Disney acknowledge the existence of this film.

Anyway, this film was surprisingly based on the book called "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?" by Gary K. Wolf, the idea of this film came from former president/son-in-law Ron W. Miller where after bought the rights, he had a hope that this film with be a major blockbuster, despite that for Disney's 80s era wasn't the best time that aside of having their best cartoons on televisions, their movies are anything but, including Black Cauldron was a biggest embarrassment for the box-office flop and a Miller wasn't as helping very much that he ended up kicked out by Roy E. Disney with the Board of Directors and brought Michael Eisner as a CEO/Chairman along with his partner Jeffrey Katzenberg. As the production of this movie went on, it was a difficulty task for costing too much as a hybrid film that Eisner was suggested to canceling it, but Katzenberg refused to cancelling, believing it will be a big hit with the collaboration with Spielberg, so they went on.

By the time the film was released, their honesty was definitely true that it became a major hit at the box-office with over $329.8 million and the critics and audience loved it so much for the story, memorable characters and of course, the crossover with big names and the animation. Although i never had a chance to see this movie as a kid, because back then, my parents and i were costumed to Disney's classic movies with VHS tapes, sucks for that, but hey, as time goes, i eventually got it in digital download. My father used to watched this movie and he loved it, so i gave my first taste.

So now we got this out of way, will this movie still a masterpiece for solving mystery behind toons, or this film deserved to be dipped in the barrel of The Dip?

Well, lets find out.

The Story

Like any reviews i've done, im not gonna compare between the book and the film, because i've never read it, im just a movie guy like anybody do, you know. Anyway, about the story and the writing of this movie? Well, even though its a typical murdering case, but it has a pretty good execution of plot elements.

The movie takes place in a good'ol days of 1947 at Hollywood, where real life people are interacting with cartoon characters that they came from "Toontown". After the film making of cartoon shorts gone wrong with Roger Rabbit, we introduced our main hero Eddie Vailant, a private detective had a struggle from the past since his beloved brother died, cause him into addicted to alcohol and lost his sense of humor. Aside from the diffculty life from the past, Eddie was hired by the head Maroon Cartoon Studios named "R.K. Maroon" in order to explain about the rumors about Roger and a beautiful toon lady (And i DO mean a big hottie one for being drawn that way) named Jessica Rabbit whether they're in relationship, or cheating on him when she had a "patty-cake" with the Acme Corporation and Toontown, Marvin Acme (Yeah, i think we all knew what it means...). However at next day, Marvin was found dead by a piano crushing on his head, they were told that Roger is responsible for killing Acme, not before we meet a sinister superior court judge named "Judge Doom" is his weasels henchmen to believing Roger did this out of nowhere, otherwise, he'll executing toons with his barrel of dangerous chemical substance that destroying toons what he called "The Dip", however, Baby Herman (who starred with Roger) defending Roger that he didn't killed Acme, its up to Eddie to solve the case to prove Roger's innocence and found out the mysterious murderer.

While the story of solving murderer case is pretty cliché like any movie murder cases out there, but the movie has a great delivery for the writing of plot elements and some humor, mainly the focus of Eddie Valiant has a bad experience from the past that made him into near grumpy detective in his dislike of toons that he lost his respectful brother, it helps to make us feel sorry for him how he missed him so much that he becoming alcoholic and sorta detective how much he hates toons, but of course as the movie goes, he does get the chance to changing his life in order find the case further from the rabbit hole (no pun attended). Of course, there's the plot element about how Hollywood depicted as a studio with people and toons that i find it pretty unique of its idea (but il explain the presentation later on) and even how the toons come to life from a painting, otherwise they might as well killed off as paint thinner, or "The Dip" as Doom called. Another element that they include is when Red Car was sold that turning into Towntown that we all know, but got a bidding with Cloverleaf industry to once again, taking over for shake-up, not sure if its a purpose, but we'll get to that for my final act part.

And finally, as for the humor in this movie, well it surprisingly fun to watch, sure it could be chaotic at the time, but at least it does makes me laugh to watch like our good'ol days of slapstick cartoons like Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, some cartoons in the old days of Disney and many more, esp3ecially for a fun chemistry between Eddie and Roger Rabbit for their journey gone crazy for how looney Roger is.

The story could be cliché, but the execution of the writing and the humor is what we invest for the plot with secret about Cloverleaf, fun jokes and fascinating character development of Eddie and some other characters (Which we'll get to the characters later).

The Presentation

Holy smokes, the presentation is so damn good what they've accomplished for 1988 with the budget of $50.6 million!

The filming location is a neat touch how it represents in the 1940s, a time where cartoons are such a big deal in Hollywood the boom of televisions in the 50s. from outside of the studio (along with Desilu Studios act as Maroon Cartoon Studio), the offices, the bar and factory, which they look pretty nice to film.

But of course, the biggest challenge of filming is when actors interacting toons, its mainly because they have to do the combination of mime, puppets, mannequin and even animatronic hands, its takes a challenge for doing this before the post-production for the use of animation. Not to mention, it also done with blue screen when we entered Toontown.

Speaking of which, the best part of its presentation is the animation itself, Even though its not as colorful as Encanto, but its classy as hand drawn and colored along with nice quality, its not just the way the characters are animated, but you can see plenty of familiar characters in the movie, from Dinsey, Looney Tunes, Fleischer, MGM and some others that we had a fond memory from our childhood. I guess we like to thanks to the crews at Disney and even the late Richard Williams for the work of animation, cause it looks outstanding as a hybrid film, despite Richard was busy with his passion project "The Thief and The Cobbler", though i've already talked about it before. Even the Toontown has some colorful and unique look for our imagination of the world of crossover cartoons in the Golden Era.

Aside that, Spielberg had some other characters that he asked, but didn't make the cut like Tom and Jerry, Little Lulu, Casper, Terry Tunes's characters and couple others, its a shame, but better luck next time.

The film's presentation looks impressive for the filming with the challenge of practical effects and fun and great work of animation with cartoons to life in a hybrid film.

The Characters

Aside of noticeable characters from cameos to background, the characters in the movie are enjoyable for their delivery, their development and even related.

Lets start with Eddie Valiant (played by the late Bob Hoskins) i private detective who has lost his sense of humor that drove himself into alcoholism because of his brother's death from toons. But as we know, once he had a chemistry with Roger, things change back for his old heart for case going further. Eddie is a memorable character and related that we're been struggling from the past of our family member, especially with a brother or sister in a distaste from we have have, until we eventually get used to it since before. And of course, Bob did a great work for playing a bitter detective but has some fun moments to make us laughing, but its a damn shame that he sadly passed away 29 April 2014 (Rest in Peace, Bob...), cause he sometimes was amazing actor (whether you like or hate at some movies he's been, including the Craptacular adaptation of Super Mario Bros the movie).

Next we have a cartoon star of the movie, Roger Rabbit (voiced by Charles Fleischer), a toon who's the star of his cartoons before gone wrong for his either cartoony ability or perhaps being waay too goofy to be a star. But once he was framed for the murder of Marvin Acme, its up to us whether he did it or obviously innocent based on when Jessica cheated to be with Acme. Even though he's another character that we felt sorry for, but he's obviously a comedic role in this movie based on being a sorta main protagonist in order to prove his innocence without going too crazy at Eddie or anybody on his way.

Here's an interesting note, while Fleischer did a voice acting (behind the camera), but also dressing up as Roger in order to be more into character. It may sounds weird, but i will give a credit for Charles for his role, he did a fun and sometimes over the top as our titular character.

After that, we have Jessica Rabbit (voiced by uncredited Kathleen Turner) and man, what a hottie appearance of her. Anyway, she's Roger's girlfriend (though had a "patty-cakes" with Acme before he was murdered) and a beautiful singer on stage (with Amy Irving did a one helluva performance of the cover song "Why Don't You Do Right?"). But once Acme was murdered and Roger being framed, she changed into femme-fatal to following up with Eddie when the case gets deeper, especially when she's kinda overprotective at Roger to keep him safe without you know, going too looney.

Though not my waifu, she's a one beautiful animated love interest for Roger (even if the relationship between a cartoon human and cartoon rabbit didn't make any sense, but hey, its just toons) and being a femme-fatal, but sometimes she could be, too hot at the times, which there's one particular controversy where after Benny the cab got "Dipped" (Sorry...) and crashing at the light pole, we noticed Jessica is in commando underneath her red dress (il let you know what "Commando" slang means if you search on Google, or not), that was on Laserdisc back then, which Disney later edited to covering up from later release. Aside of getting into trouble, but she's a one helluva beauty in cartoons, my friend, but at least she has character development unlike most of generic unnecessary beautiful ladies out there (not trying to be sexist, but we always want more personalities and developments, just saying.)

And we have Judge Doom (played by Christopher Lloyd, aka Doc Brown from Back to the Future), a cold and sinister superior judge court of Toontown for either demanding whether the case is solved to Eddie or killing toons with The Dip. He's quite possibly one of the mostly terrifying villain in the 80s, whenever he shows up, its a warning sign that he'll either tell you about it or forcing you watching cartoon characters getting suffered from The Dip. But once he's revealed, oohhh boy, its gonna be even more scary, but il save it to tell about the final act. He's definitely one of the most memorable villain in hybrid film for his his goal, his delivery and even great performance from Chris Lloyd, otherwise, did you guys slept with your eyes open or lights on because of Doom?

As for the rest, they're pretty much giving us a plot device when we gid deeper about the murder case, for the most part, there's Dolores (played by Joanna Cassidy) who's Eddie's girlfriend where she works on the bar, despite telling him to stop having a traumatic experience from the part, Marvin Acme (played by the late Stubby Kaye) who's a goofy owner of Acme Corp and driven plot points for being murdered (Maybe he could've make more not-so innovative gadgets on himself than given away to Wile E. Coyote, but i digress), R.K. Maroon (played the late Alan Tilvern in his last role) is the owner of Marron Cartoon studio for his struggle of success based on difficulty work with Roger Rabbit, Baby Herman (voiced by Lou Hirsch) who's a baby that he acts like an adult, but claiming he's stuck in three year old dinky (which is exactly what he said) and Benny the cab (also voiced by Charles Fleischer) who's basically an anthro car.

Of course, since this a crossover film with cartoons, like i said, there are many characters you've seen, these includes plenty of Looney Tunes and Disney characters outside of Maroon's studio, Donald Duck vs Daffy Duck in a piano battle (aka Hungarian Rhapsody), Droopy at the elevator (with surprisingly voiced by Richard Williams himself), Eddie talked to Betty Boop (voiced by the legendary Mae Questel) and of course, the most highlighted scene, is when Eddie is falling in Toontown, we saw interaction of Mickey Mouse (voiced by Wayne Allwine) and Bugs Bunny (voiced by the great voice actor of Looney Tunes, Mel Blanc, but its the last time he provided voice of Looney Tunes characters (except for Yosemite Sam) before sadly passed away in 1989, R.I.P. for the original man with thousand voices). I mean seeing Mickey Mouse and Bug Bunny in movie together is like putting scene as part of "Hall of Fame".

The characters are enjoyable for this movie, especially with crossover cameos which is like a childhood's dreams came true.

SPOILER ALERT for anybody who haven't seen a movie, or if you don't mind

The final act is a lot of reveals, ranging from surprise to downright frightening, but don't worry, like any Disney movies, there's always "live happily ever after".

After R.K. Maroon got murdered and traveling Toontown, Eddie sees Jessica again, this time, not only she tries to protecting Roger in the trunk for safekeeping (but didn't turned out as we expected), she also revealed that it wasn't Roger's fault for murdering Acme and Maroon, but rather Judge Doom for the whole time. After they got captured by Doom and his weasels henchmen, Eddie and Jessica are holding hostage to revealing Doom has a shareholder of Cloverleaf to not only destroying Toontown with his The Dip canon machine, but also replacing it to freeway (in other words, he wants to destroying the town of cartoons, but taking over as a road in order to make a cash money, not sure if its the most threatening plan ever, but it could've been worse). But then Roger comes down from the roof in order to save Eddie and Jessica, but didn't turned out, leaving Roger and Jessie hold hostage in front of The Dip canon. As Eddie tries to save his Toon friends, he starts fighting against Doom's weasels by doing a vaudeville comedic style, which it turns out, it works that some weasels die of laughter, except the last one that ended up down to death by The Dip, but Doom shows up for revenge, as Eddie is fighting against the superior judge, but also protecting Roger and Jessica, along with a steamroller squashing over Doom.

It may sounds like its over, but its FAR from over, not only Doom is still alive, but also revealing that he's a Toon disguising as a human for the whole time, along with:

Judge Doom: Remember me Eddie?! (his voice goes high pitch in creepy way) When i kill your brother, i talk... Just LIKE THIIISSSS!!!

You spend a next day, weeks or months, either sleeping with your eyes open or with lights on, my friends.

Anyway, Eddie is gotta fight Doom's true form with his dangerous golden gadgets, including a Buzzsaw in attempt kill Eddie!! But luckily, Eddie found a mullet with boxing glove trap to open the plug of The Dip to blew from behind to completely melting off Doom to death (Whew, thank goodness to kill that nightmarish final boss). After clean the floor from The Dip and The Dip machine got destroy by the toon's train, it reveals that Doom's goal is to killing off Roger to clear the name for his will, and as for Roger when he was upset before? It was revealing to be Roger's did a love letter to Jessica for Acme's will, but in the end, Toontown is now hand over to toons, Eddie reunites Dolores and he's got his sense of humor to thanking Eddie to finishing the case, and so, they walk together to Toontown and live happily ever after.

What a final act of this movie to giving us surprise, a nightmare full to satisfying conclusion with toon pals celebrating to save Toontown from Doom. Quite of rollercoaster ride, eh?

And now for my final opinion of this film.

Wowie my friend, this is easily the best movie ever made, without a doubt. It has a well-written story, pretty good presentation, outstanding animations and of course, lovable characters.

Sure, the movie may have some problems like some controversy or some nitpicks, but honestly, i had a blast for watching this movie, like i said at the beginning, my dad love this movie before i was born, i've seen images and clips until gave a shot to watch and i had a great time.

Is this a highly recommended film for old school fans, crossover fans or heck even any animation brand fans. This is the film that you should definitely check it out, you're gonna love it so much.

For my rating, this movie is so damn good that im giving it a Perfect 10/10 with the Trophy of Success, because of course it deserves it, my friend.

So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on https://ko-fi.com/blackevil.
