It's 1947 Hollywood, and Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins), a down-on-his-luck detective, is hired to find proof that Marvin Acme, gag factory mogul and owner of Toontown, is playing hanky-panky with femme fatale Jessica Rabbit, wife of Maroon Cartoon superstar Roger Rabbit. When Acme is found murdered, all fingers point to Roger, and the sinister, power-hungry Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) is on a mission to bring Roger to justice. Roger begs the Toon-hating Valiant to find the real evildoer and the plot thickens as Eddie uncovers scandal after scandal and realizes the very existence of Toontown is at stake! WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is deliciously outrageous fun the whole family will enjoy.

Customer Review: Wacky and Original. One of My All-Time Favorite 80's Films!
Oh baby! That's what I'm talking about. Hilarious, original, and super cool! The 80's produced some classic gems during its time, and this one (IMO) tops them all! I loved this film so much as a kid. Even as an adult, I still enjoy watching it. I believe it's great family entertainment--more so than the current lackluster offerings from Disney and digitally animated Pixel films. It contains a solid plot, excellent acting, smart script, fantastic visuals, and an abundance of your favorite LOONEY toons! There are cameo appearances from a colorful array of beloved cartoon characters (Bugs, Mickey, Betty Boop, Daffy, Donald, etc.). Film includes an extraordinary cast of actors: Charles Fleischer (the voice over of Roger Rabbit, Benny the Cab, Greasy, and Psycho), Bob Hoskins (Detective Valiant), Christopher Lloyd (Judge Doom), Kathleen Turner (Jessica Rabbit), the legendary voice artists of Mel Blanc (aka "The Man of a Thousand Voices" who does Bugs, Daffy, Tweety, Porky, and Sylvester) and Mae Questel (who does Betty Boop!), just to name a few.... Do expect plenty of laughs, including the wonderful added mystery and suspense! Though I do recommend this as a family film, I'd advise parents to watch out for some mild language, a "dip-kill" of a toon, and most especially--the icky and frightful ending with Judge Doom! It's very scary (as a kid I would always hide under a pillow during that part) and not for very young children to see. Overall, highly recommended! It's unique and definitely a landmark film. Show this one to the kids. They will love it! 5 Stars!!!
