    I'm surprised that Bob Hoskins wasn't on the list. The biggest reason "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" achieved what it did in a time when nothing like it had been done before was almost entirely due to Hoskins performance. Apparently, in order to work with a majority of characters that weren't real Hoskins trained himself to hallucinate. In interviews he told people that while he was performing he could see the characters that he was performing with. Animators on the project even said his performance was so perfect that they were able to use his eyeline to determine where the character was meant to be in the scene. The down side to this experience is that it took Hoskins quite a bit of time to unlearn this ability as it began to happen in his everyday life. Now that's impressive.
