Who Framed Roger Rabbit<\/b><\/i>\u00a0is a 1988 American\u00a0fantasy comedy<\/a>\u00a0film directedby\u00a0Robert Zemeckis<\/a>\u00a0from a screenplay written by\u00a0Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman<\/a>.<\/sup><\/p>\n

The film stars\u00a0Bob Hoskins<\/a>,\u00a0Christopher Lloyd<\/a>,\u00a0Stubby Kaye<\/a>, and\u00a0Joanna Cassidy<\/a>, along with the voices of\u00a0Charles Fleischer<\/a>\u00a0and an uncredited\u00a0Kathleen Turner<\/a>. Combining\u00a0live-action and animation<\/a>, the film is set in an\u00a0alternate history<\/a>\u00a0Hollywood<\/a>\u00a0in 1947, where humans and cartoon characters (referred to as \u00ab\u00a0toons\u00a0\u00bb) co-exist. Its plot follows\u00a0Eddie Valiant<\/a>, a private\u00a0investigator<\/a>\u00a0with a grudge against toons, who must help exonerate\u00a0Roger Rabbit<\/a>, a toon\u00a0framed for murder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Walt Disney Pictures<\/a>\u00a0purchased the\u00a0film rights<\/a>\u00a0for the story in 1981. Price and Seaman wrote two drafts of the script before Disney brought in executive producer\u00a0Steven Spielberg<\/a>\u00a0and his production company,\u00a0Amblin Entertainment<\/a>. Zemeckis was brought on to direct, and Canadian animator\u00a0Richard Williams<\/a>\u00a0was hired to supervise the animation sequences. Production was moved from\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Elstree Studios<\/a>\u00a0in England to accommodate Williams and his group of animators. While filming, the production budget rapidly expanded, and the shooting schedule ran longer than expected.<\/p>\n

Who Framed Roger Rabbit<\/i>\u00a0was released through Disney’s\u00a0Touchstone Pictures<\/a>\u00a0banner in the United States on June 22, 1988. The film received critical acclaim for its visuals, humor, writing, performances, and groundbreaking combination of live-action and animation. It grossed over $351 million worldwide, becoming the\u00a0second-highest-grossing film of 1988<\/a>, behind\u00a0Rain Man<\/a><\/i>. It brought a renewed interest in the\u00a0golden age of American animation<\/a>, spearheading\u00a0modern American animation<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Disney Renaissance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/sup>It won three\u00a0Academy Awards<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0Best Film Editing<\/a>,\u00a0Best Sound Effects Editing<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Best Visual Effects<\/a>\u00a0and received a\u00a0Special Achievement Academy Award<\/a>\u00a0for Williams’ animation direction.<\/p>\n

In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States\u00a0National Film Registry<\/a>\u00a0by the\u00a0Library of Congress<\/a> as \u00ab\u00a0culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

In 1947 Los Angeles, animated cartoon characters, or \u00ab\u00a0toons<\/a>\u00ab\u00a0, co-exist with humans, often employing their skills to entertain as film stars. Private detective\u00a0Eddie Valiant<\/a>, once a staunch ally of the toons alongside his brother and co-worker Teddy, has become a depressed alcoholic following Teddy’s murder by an unknown toon five years earlier. Maroon Cartoon Studios owner R.K. Maroon, upset about the recent poor performance of his toon star\u00a0Roger Rabbit<\/a>, hires Eddie to investigate rumors that Roger’s glamorous toon wife,\u00a0Jessica<\/a>, is having an affair with Marvin Acme, owner of both the\u00a0Acme Corporation<\/a>\u00a0and Toontown, the animated metropolis in which toons reside.<\/p>\n

After watching Jessica perform at The Ink and Paint Club, Eddie secretly photographs her and Acme playing\u00a0patty-cake<\/a>. He shows the pictures to Roger, who becomes distraught and flees, refusing to believe Jessica was unfaithful.<\/p>\n

The next morning, Acme is found murdered and evidence at the scene implicates Roger as a suspect. Eddie meets\u00a0Judge Doom<\/a>, the sinister human\u00a0judge<\/a>\u00a0of Toontown\u2014having bribed the electorate to gain their votes\u2014and his five\u00a0weasel<\/a>\u00a0minions, the Toon Patrol. Doom confirms he plans to execute Roger using the \u00ab\u00a0Dip\u00a0\u00bb, a chemical concoction of\u00a0acetone<\/a>,\u00a0benzene<\/a>, and\u00a0turpentine<\/a>\u00a0which is capable of destroying the otherwise invulnerable toons.<\/p>\n

Roger’s toon co-star, Baby Herman, suggests to Eddie that Acme’s missing\u00a0will<\/a>\u2014which supposedly bequeaths Toontown to the toons\u2014may have been the killer’s true motive. Eddie returns to his office and finds Roger waiting. Roger insists he has been framed and Eddie reluctantly agrees to help after finding evidence of Acme’s will; he hides Roger in a bar tended by his girlfriend, Dolores. Jessica tells Eddie that Maroon threatened Roger’s career unless she posed for the compromising photos. Meanwhile, Dolores’s research uncovers that Cloverleaf Industries recently bought the city’s\u00a0Pacific Electric<\/a>\u00a0railway system and will purchase Toontown at midnight unless Acme’s will is found. Doom and the Toon Patrol find Roger, but he and Eddie escape with help from Benny, a toon\u00a0taxi<\/a>\u00a0cab. Sheltering in a local\u00a0movie theater<\/a>, Eddie sees a newsreel of Maroon selling his studio to Cloverleaf.<\/p>\n

While Eddie goes to the studio to interrogate Maroon, Jessica abducts Roger. Maroon denies involvement in Acme’s murder, admitting he intended to\u00a0blackmail<\/a>\u00a0Acme into selling his company as otherwise Cloverleaf would not buy the studio. Maroon is assassinated and Eddie spots Jessica fleeing the scene. Assuming she is the assailant, he reluctantly follows her into Toontown, choosing to discard the last of his alcohol. After saving Eddie from being shot by Doom, Jessica reveals her actions were to ensure Roger’s safety and it was Doom who killed Acme and Maroon. Acme gave his will to Jessica for safety but, when she examined it, the paper was blank.<\/p>\n

Doom and the Toon Patrol capture Jessica and Eddie, bringing them to Acme’s factory. Doom reveals he is\u00a0the sole shareholder<\/a>\u00a0of Cloverleaf and plans to erase Toontown with a Dip-spraying machine so he can build a\u00a0freeway<\/a>\u00a0in its place, and decommission the railway system to force people to use it. When Roger unsuccessfully attempts to save Jessica, the couple is tied onto a hook in front of the machine’s sprayer. Eddie distracts the weasels by performing a comedic\u00a0vaudeville<\/a>\u00a0act full of pratfalls, causing them to die of laughter before he kicks their leader into the Dip.<\/p>\n

Doom is flattened by a\u00a0steamroller<\/a>\u00a0while fighting with Eddie, but he survives, revealing he is actually a disguised toon and Teddy’s murderer. Struggling against Doom’s toon abilities, Eddie empties the machine’s Dip supply, spraying and dissolving Doom to death. The machine crashes through the wall into Toontown, where it is destroyed by a\u00a0passenger train<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As police and toons gather at the scene, Eddie realizes that Acme’s will was written on the blank paper in temporarily\u00a0invisible ink<\/a>, confirming the toons inherit Toontown. Having regained his sense of humor, Eddie happily enters Toontown alongside Dolores, Roger, Jessica, and the toons.<\/p>\n
