Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a 1988 film hybrid live action and animation based on the book Who Censored Roger Rabbit, by Gary K. Wolf.
Description
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a classic. I remember I didn't actually watch it until well into my adult years, but when I finally sat down with an, er, Legally Acquired Copy, it blew me away by just how well it held up on a story level, and how amazing the animation work was.
The film is a Noir Detective style.... thing. Look I'm not a Wikipedia editor give me some slack. It follows the Detective Eddie Valient, A Drunk and down on his luck detective that gets wrapped up in a murder case dealing with a Toon Rabbit, our titular character. The film had cameos from lots of Disney and Warner Bros cartoon characters, and its legacy of a world where 'Toons' are just some oddball form of life that gets filmed to make cartoons lives on in furry kink circles to this day.
Characters of note
Eddie Valient
![[Image: v8925t.png]](https://files.catbox.moe/v8925t.png)
Our main character. The drunk detective down on his luck looking to make a quick buck. Hold on lemme find the wiki page for this, everyone thank Fandom.com(i'm kidding fuck them)
Alright paraphrasing time. Back in the day, Eddie made a name for himself with his brother Teddy, As PI's that worked ToonTown. When a Toon killed Teddy, Eddie fell apart, got lost in the drink, and swore to never work with or for Toons again, hating them all for the death of his brother.
Roger Rabbit
![[Image: 89z6la.png]](https://files.catbox.moe/89z6la.png)
Our other main character. And title character!
Roger Rabbit is a decent actor, making cartoons alongside Baby Sherman. He's a goofy, happy-go-lucky guy that loves his wife and would do anything for her. He might not always be the brightest, but he's got a heart of gold and two lucky rabbits feet.
Jessica Rabbit
![[Image: ceva4e.png]](https://files.catbox.moe/ceva4e.png)
The loving wife of Roger Rabbit. Jessica works as a lounge singer for an establishment that does primarily Toon acts. She's sexy, confident, and mysterious. She loves her husband more than anything in the world. It may seem like an odd pairing, but Jessica loves roger because he makes her laugh. Sometimes love is as simple as making each other happy.
Judge Dread
![[Image: h47yhl.png]](https://files.catbox.moe/h47yhl.png)
Our villain of this piece. One might say he's cartoonishly evil. The joke is that he's secretly a Toon. Ok, ok, context: some years ago Eddie and his bro were working a case chasing down a toon that stole a gazillion simoleons(this isn't paraphrasing) from the bank of toon town. Chasing the perp down he dropped a safe on Teddie and Eddie lost him. Fast-forward and judge dread bought his position as judge in the Toontown jurisdiction, and his way into being the sole stakeholder for Cloverleaf Industries, a company that has been buying up and shutting down LA's trollies. why? So they can build a freeway through Toontown. Thaaaat's the evil plan. Guy doesn't have much more going for him aside from being a Toon pretending to be human. Just pure evil. Yep.
Marvin Acme
![[Image: xyjoq8.png]](https://files.catbox.moe/xyjoq8.png)
you know ACME? Maker of famous random nonsense seen in cartoons? Yeah, this guy owns it. He's a clown and a lover of all things Toon. He also owns Toontown. So when he gets murdered and his will is nowhere to be found, a will that is said to give the town to Toons(idk why he couldn't do that while alive, c'mon man you ain't hurting for money, don't landlord it over people), It raises questions.
Baby Herman
![[Image: arq2zp.png]](https://files.catbox.moe/arq2zp.png)
Roger's costar. 30 years old. Stuck as baby because of cartoon logic. Womanizer. Extremely creepy. But still Roger's friend, and is doing his best to look out for Toon's interests.
Story Summary
You know what? Fuck paraphrasing on this part. In the other parts there was stuff I felt like I should say in my own words, or highlight things I thought had specific importance with regard to my travels. But here? I'm just summarizing the plot. So I'm just gonna steal it from Wikipedia. Here's the Wikipedia article for Roger rabbit I'm stealing from btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Framed_Roger_Rabbit
In 1947 Los Angeles, animated cartoon characters, or "toons", co-exist with humans, often working as film stars. Private detective Eddie Valiant, once a staunch ally of the toons, has become a depressed alcoholic following his brother Teddy's murder by an unknown toon five years prior. Maroon Cartoon Studios owner R.K. Maroon, upset about the recent poor performance of his toon star Roger Rabbit, hires Eddie to investigate rumors that Roger's glamorous toon wife, Jessica, is having an affair with Marvin Acme, owner of both the Acme Corporation and Toontown, the animated metropolis in which toons reside.
After watching Jessica perform at The Ink and Paint Club, Eddie secretly photographs her and Acme playing patty-cake. He shows the pictures to Roger, who becomes distraught and flees, refusing to believe Jessica was unfaithful. The next morning, Acme is found murdered and evidence at the scene implicates Roger. Eddie meets Judge Doom, the sinister human judge of Toontown—having bribed the electorate for their votes—and his five weasel minions, the Toon Patrol. Doom reveals that he will execute Roger using the "Dip", a chemical concoction of acetone, benzene, and turpentine, which can destroy the otherwise invulnerable toons.
Roger's toon co-star, Baby Herman, suggests to Eddie that Acme's missing will, which supposedly bequeaths Toontown to the toons, may 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. Later, Jessica tells Eddie that Maroon threatened Roger's career unless she posed for the compromising photos. Meanwhile, Dolores uncovers that Cloverleaf Industries recently bought the city's Pacific Electric railway 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 taxi cab. Sheltering in a local movie theater, Eddie sees a newsreel of Maroon selling his studio to Cloverleaf.
While Eddie goes to the studio to interrogate Maroon, Jessica abducts Roger. Maroon denies involvement in Acme's murder, admitting he intended to blackmail Acme into selling his company as otherwise Cloverleaf would not buy the studio. In the middle of his confession, 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.
Doom and the Toon Patrol capture Jessica and Eddie, bringing them to Acme's factory. Doom reveals he is the sole shareholder of Cloverleaf. He plans to erase Toontown with a Dip-spraying machine so he can build a freeway in its place, and decommission the railway system to force people to use it. When Roger fails to save Jessica, the couple is tied onto a hook in front of the machine's sprayer. Eddie performs a series of pratfalls that cause the weasels to laugh themselves to death, kicks their leader into the dip, and then fights Doom. After being flattened by a steamroller, Doom reveals himself as a disguised toon and Teddy's murderer. Struggling against Doom's toon abilities, Eddie empties the machine's Dip supply, spraying and dissolving Doom. The machine crashes through the wall into Toontown, where it is destroyed by a passenger train.
As police and toons gather at the scene, Eddie realizes that Acme's will was written on the blank paper in temporarily invisible ink, confirming the toons inherit Toontown. Having regained his sense of humor, Eddie happily enters Toontown alongside Dolores, Roger, Jessica, and the toons.
