Description of this Who Wants the Skin of 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 Gary K. Wolf's 1981 novel Who Framed Roger Rabbit from Roger Rabbit? 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 Hollywood in 1947, where humans and cartoon characters (called "toons") coexist. The film follows Eddie Valiant, a private detective who is prejudiced against cartoons and must help exonerate Roger Rabbit (voiced by Charles Fleischer), a toon accused of murder.
Walt Disney Pictures purchased the theatrical rights to the film's story in 1981. Price and Seaman wrote two versions of the script before Disney brought in executive producer Steven Spielberg and his production company, Amblin Entertainment. Zemeckis was tasked with directing the film, while Canadian animator Richard Williams was hired to oversee the animation 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 filming schedule took longer than expected.
The film was released under Disney's Touchstone Pictures banner on June 22, 1988. It received critical acclaim, who praised its visuals, humor, writing and performances, with critics and the public considering it "revolutionary". It grossed over $351 million worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing film of 1988. It sparked renewed interest in the golden age of American animation, spearheading of 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 an Academy Award for Special Achievement for its animation direction by Williams.
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", interact regularly in animated shorts and films, and reside in a neighborhood in Los Angeles known as Toontown. Private detective Eddie Valiant once worked closely with toons alongside his brother Teddy, but he fell into depression and alcoholism after Teddy was murdered by a toon.
In 1947, RK Maroon, director of Maroon Cartoon Studios, was concerned about the recent poor performance of one of his stars, Roger Rabbit. Maroon hires Eddie to investigate rumors that Jessica, Roger's voluptuous toon wife, is romantically involved with Marvin Acme, owner of the Acme Corporation and Toontown. After seeing Jessica perform at a nightclub, Eddie secretly takes photos of her and Acme playing patty-cake, which he shows to Roger, who is upset.
The next morning, Acme is discovered dead in his factory, and evidence points to Roger being responsible. During his investigation, Eddie meets Judge Doom, the sinister judge of Toontown's superior court, who uses a chemical substance known as "The Dip", capable of destroying 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 to help exonerate 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 henchmen discover Roger, but he and Eddie escape with the help of Benny, a toon cabbie. They take refuge in a theater, where Eddie tells Roger about the tragic loss of Teddy. As they leave with Dolores, Eddie sees a news report about the sale of Maroon Cartoons to Cloverleaf Industries, a mysterious company that purchased the city's Pacific Electric transportation 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 will's disappearance. Eddie spots Jessica running away from the scene and, assuming she is the culprit, follows her into Toontown. Once he finds her, Jessica reveals to him that it was Doom who killed Acme and Maroon and that the former gave her his will for safekeeping, but she soon discovered that he 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 highway full of attractions in its place and force people to drive it once that he will have shut down the transit system to control all the profits. When Roger tries in vain to save Jessica, the couple are tied to a hook in front of the machine's water cannon. Eddie does a comical vaudeville act full of falls, causing the weasels to die by laughter before he sends their leader into the machine's dipping vat, killing him. Eddie then fights 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 on 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, which clears Roger. Eddie also discovers that Roger inadvertently wrote a love letter for Jessica on Acme's will, which was written in ink that disappears and reappears, and ownership of Toontown is turned over 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.
