“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” Info

Plot Synopsis by Hal Erickson

In Robert Zemeckis's trailblazing combination of animation and
live-action, Hollywood's 1940s cartoon stars are a subjugated minority,
living in the ghettolike "Toontown" where their movements are sharply
monitored by the human power establishment. The Toons are permitted to
perform in a Cotton Club-style nightspot but are forbidden to patronize
the joint. One of Toontown's leading citizens, whacked-out Roger Rabbit,
is framed for the murder of human nightclub owner Marvin Acme (Stubby
Kaye). Private detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins), whose prejudice
against Toons stems from the time that his brother was killed by a
falling cartoon piano, reluctantly agrees to clear Roger of the
accusation. Most of the sociopolitical undertones of the original novel
were weeded of the 1988 film version, with emphasis shifted to, more
enjoyably, a stream of eye-popping special effects.

Director: Robert Zemeckis
Writers: Gary K. Wolf (novel), Jeffrey Price (writer)
