Description of this Who Framed Roger Rabbit Poster
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 American fantasy comedy-mystery film directed by Robert Zemeckis, and written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman, based on the 1981 novel Who Framed Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf. The film stars Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, Stubby Kaye, and Joanna Cassidy, with the voices of Charles Fleischer and Kathleen Turner. Combining live-action and animation, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is set in an alternate history of 1947 Hollywood, where humans and cartoon characters (called “toons”) coexist. The film follows Eddie Valiant, a private investigator prejudiced against cartoons who must help exonerate Roger Rabbit (voiced by Charles Fleischer), a toon accused of murder.
Walt Disney Pictures purchased the film rights to the film’s story in 1981. Price and Seaman wrote two drafts of the script before Disney brought in executive producer Steven Spielberg and his production company, Amblin Entertainment. Zemeckis was commissioned to direct the film, while Canadian animator Richard Williams was hired to oversee the animated sequences. Production moved from Los Angeles to Elstree Studios in England to accommodate Williams and his group of animators. During filming, the production budget began to increase rapidly, and the shooting schedule was longer than expected.
The film was released under Disney’s Touchstone Pictures banner on June 22, 1988. It received critical acclaim, praising its visuals, humor, writing, and performances, with both critics and audiences deeming it “groundbreaking.” It grossed over $351 million worldwide, becoming the second-highest-grossing film of 1988. It sparked a renewed interest in the golden age of American animation, spearheading modern American animation and the Disney Renaissance. It won three Academy Awards for Best Film Editing, Best Sound Effects Editing, and Best Visual Effects, and received a Special Achievement Award for Williams’ direction of the animation.
In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress because it is “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
Humans and cartoon characters, “toons,” regularly interact in the animated shorts and features, and reside in a Los Angeles neighborhood known as Toontown. Private detective Eddie Valiant once worked closely with the toons alongside his brother Teddy, but he spiraled into depression and alcoholism after Teddy was murdered by a toon.
In 1947, R.K. Maroon, head of Maroon Cartoon Studios, was concerned about the recent poor performances of one of his stars, Roger Rabbit. Maroon hired Eddie to investigate rumors that Roger’s voluptuous toon wife, Jessica, was romantically involved with Marvin Acme, owner of Acme Corporation and Toontown. After seeing Jessica perform at a nightclub, Eddie secretly took pictures of her and Acme playing pattycake, which he showed to a distraught Roger.
The next morning, Acme was discovered dead in his factory, and the evidence pointed to Roger as responsible. During his investigation, Eddie encounters Judge Doom, the sinister judge of Toontown’s superior court, who uses a chemical known as “The Dip,” capable of destroying the otherwise invulnerable toons. Eddie then meets Baby Herman, Roger’s co-star, who tells him that Roger is innocent and that Acme’s missing will, which will give ownership of Toontown to the toons, could be the key to his murder. In his office, Eddie finds Roger, who begs him for help exonerating him. Eddie reluctantly hides Roger at a local bar, where his girlfriend Dolores works. Jessica approaches Eddie and tells him that Maroon forced her to pose for the photos so he could blackmail Acme. Doom and his toon weasel minions discover Roger, but he and Eddie escape with the help of Benny, a toon taxi driver. They take refuge in a theater, where Eddie tells Roger about Teddy’s tragic loss. As they leave with Dolores, Eddie sees a news report about the sale of Maroon Cartoons to Cloverleaf Industries, a mysterious corporation that purchased the city’s Pacific Electric transmission system shortly before Acme’s murder. Eddie goes to the studio to question Maroon. Roger is sent to stand guard outside but is kidnapped by Jessica. Maroon tells Eddie that he blackmailed Acme into selling his company so he could sell the studio, then admits that he only did it out of fear for the toons’ safety. Maroon is then murdered by an unseen assailant before he can explain the consequences of the missing will. Eddie spots Jessica running from the scene and, assuming she is the culprit, follows her into Toontown. Once he finds her, Jessica reveals that Doom was the one who killed Acme and Maroon and that the former gave her his will for safekeeping, but she soon discovered it was a virgin. Then she and Eddie are captured by Doom and the weasels.
At the Acme factory, Doom reveals himself to be the sole shareholder of Cloverleaf Industries and explains his plot to destroy Toontown with a dip-powered machine to build a freeway full of rides in its place and force people to ride it once he shuts down the mass transit system to control all the profits. When Roger unsuccessfully tries to rescue Jessica, the pair are tied to a hook in front of the machine’s water cannon. Eddie performs a comedy vaudeville act full of pratfalls, causing the weasels to laugh themselves to death before he sends their leader into the machine’s dipping tank, killing him. Eddie then battles Doom, who is flattened by a steamroller but survives, revealing himself to be a toon in disguise—and the one who killed Teddy. Eddie empties the machine’s reserve onto the factory floor, spraying it at Doom and melting him to death. The empty machine then crashes through the wall into Toontown, where it is destroyed by a train. As the police and several dozen toons gather at the scene, Eddie reveals to everyone that Doom is Acme’s murderer, exonerating Roger. Eddie also discovers that Roger inadvertently wrote a love letter for Jessica in Acme’s will, which was written with disappearing and reappearing ink, and ownership of Toontown is given to the toons. Having regained his sense of humor now that he has avenged Teddy, Eddie happily enters Toontown with Dolores alongside Roger, Jessica, and the other toons.
