Note: Amid Amidi over at Cartoon Brew points out that Disney, who owns Touchstone, the distributors of this film, have an excellent track record for being very careful in avoiding DVNR problems such as these. I feel I should point this out because I think it's an attitude to be applauded, and don't want to falsely accuse them of not being careful most of the time. Who Framed Roger Rabbit has probably slipped through the net because almost all of the film contains largely live action scenes with animated characters blended on-top. As I said earlier, only the short all-cartoon sequence at the beginning is noticeably affected.
Not quite such a buena vista this time, it
would seem. You would think that a more recent film like this would
escape this treatment, but it seems that video transfer technicians
are keen to use this system (or simply aren't aware they're using it) even when it might not be required.
Luckily, only the short animated sequence at the start of the film
is affected to such an extent. The other sequences, which mainly
mix animated characters into a live action world, don't show these
problems.
Thankfully though, DVNR is less severe here. Nevertheless, look at the whiskers and woman's hand.
Count Baby Herman's toes. You'll probably find it
fairly hard, because the lines have been mashed up. The thin hair
lines have gone (top of image). Look at the sides of the eyes, melting
into the face. There's also some where his cheek joins onto his
shoulder, but I thought I had more than enough arrows on this picture.
