Release history

The album was first released by Buena Vista Records on June 22, 1988 in CD, LP and cassettes, [4] [5] and was again reissued in CDs on April 12, 2002, after the original album fell out of print. [6] On January 26, 2018, Intrada Records' released a three-CD set, which includes the complete score from the film, alternates, remastered version of the original score in the first album, alongside music from three Roger Rabbit short films, composed and conducted by Bruce Broughton and James Horner.

[9] [11] Another vinyl edition was released on September 10, 2021. [12]

Critical reception

The score has been critically acclaimed and assessed as one of Silvestri's best film scores composed. [13] It has been listed by Den of Geek , in the eighth position of "Silvestri's 30 best soundtracks", where a review by Sean Wilson, stated "a marvel of instrumental complexity, and a personal score for Silvestri as he gets to return to his jazz roots". [14] ClassicFM also listed it as one of "Silvestri's best film scores". [15] Who Framed Roger Rabbit score has been considered as one of the best scores in the 1980s, by several outlets including, Variety , [16] Far Out Magazine , [17] MovieWeb , [18] Collider , [19] Flickering Myth, [20] Empire Online [21] and Entertainment Weekly . [22]

Music critic Jonathan Broxton wrote "Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a landmark score in Alan Silvestri’s career, and should take pride of place in the collection of anyone who admires his music. His depiction of 1940s Hollywood through a series of original jazz pieces is wonderfully authentic, the inter-weaving character themes give the score intellectual depth, and the action writing is some of the best of Silvestri’s early career, especially when it combines his trademark orchestral flamboyance with the jazzy period riffs." [23] Jeff Ames of Comingsoon.net called it as "a classic film score bursting with energy and playful themes made during a time when Silvestri was at the top of his game". [24]

James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "The score is at its most coherent - and best, on album - during the far less frenetic sequences. Things are brought to a close in the madcap, end title suite, with blink-and-you'll-miss-them recaps of the major themes.  It's a score that certainly has a number of fine moments, but it's just too frenetic to be consistently enjoyable.  The good outweighs the bad enough for me to recommend it - Silvestri is a consistently impressive composer, after all - but good luck finding a copy!" [25] Filmtracks.com wrote "the Silvestri score is a wild ride, as to be expected, but cartoon lovers will devour its shameless enthusiasm." [26] Set the Tape wrote "Those who are fans of the composer are urged to get their hands on this release – it paints a Silvestri masterpiece in a whole new light." [27]
