The most fascinating thing about ROGER RABBIT, which only gets better over time, is that there's no computer animation employed ~~ it's all old school, with composite mattes used for the shaded modelling on the figures. Amazing work, and pitch perfect for the premise.
I don't think it's a stretch to say that ROGER RABBIT jumpstarted the animation resurgence that continues to this day ~~ Disney and Warners both started to produce new television series, theatrical shorts and features, all in the wake of the film, at a time when cartoons in general were mainly musty memories buried in studio inventory. It was an honest to goodness game changer.
And I think that piano duet was a classic case of understatement ~~ the set up was that they played the old Freleng standard, The Hungarian Rhapsody, and the payoff was indeed the 'speech impediment' line, as delgadosaur reminds us. Everything in between was pure gravy.
Sure, things may get a bit too "clever-clever" toward the end, as happens sometimes in Zemeckis' "imaginative concept" pictures like BACK TO THE FUTURE, POLAR EXPRESS etc., but I can forgive it that. The audacity of the whole idea is enough to carry it over any rough spots.
What a great movie.
