Robert Zemeckis’ WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?
(PG, 1988, 104 min)

“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” brought a re-emerging interest from the golden age of American animation and became the forefront of the modern animation era. It’s 1947 Hollywood and Eddie Valiant, 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, who begs the Toon-hating Valiant to find the real evildoer.
