If this is as good as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which appears to use a similar technique, it would be AWESOME. Hopefully they didn't sanitize the old cartoons.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is arguably a classic, so it would have to be pretty stellar to be as good as at a film level!
People interested in the live action / toon might also want to see the 1992 "Cool World."
It is an early Brad Pitt film, squeezed oddly between Thelma and Louise and A River Runs Through It.
Unrelated but fun item for those interested in Roger Rabbit:
There was a ton of crossover between WFRR and Back to the Future Part Two.
Both films from the top (Amblin Entertainment, Zemeckis, Alan Silvestri) down to some of the production crews IIUC.
So if you listen to the soundtracks of both films they have ringing similarities!

Silvestri certainly had a style and some distinct instrumentation in the 80s (you'll also hear similarities in the Abyss and Predator). Sometimes I like to think of the alternate movie tracks as bonus tracks for Back to the Future. I should listen to them and Roger Rabbit again!

I can't see them NOT sanitizing the old cartoons

I loved the cartoon effects in "The Mask" with Jim Carrey.
Sort of a tip-of-the-hat to the greats of the cartoon era that has passed.
