About the Film

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 American live-action/animated comedy mystery directed by Robert Zemeckis, a groundbreaking technical achievement that seamlessly combined hand-drawn cartoon characters with live-action performances and environments. Bob Hoskins stars as Eddie Valiant, a hard-boiled 1947 Hollywood detective who hates "Toons" — cartoon characters that exist as real beings living alongside humans in a segregated neighborhood called Toontown. When Roger Rabbit, a zany cartoon star, is framed for the murder of a wealthy businessman, Eddie reluctantly agrees to help clear his name, uncovering a conspiracy involving the sinister Judge Doom, played by Christopher Lloyd, who plans to destroy Toontown to build a freeway.

The film's technical innovation was astounding — animation director Richard Williams and his team created cartoon characters that interacted convincingly with real objects, cast real shadows, and occupied three-dimensional space in ways that had never been achieved before. The film earned $351 million worldwide on a $70 million budget. Jessica Rabbit's introduction, during which she performs "Why Don't You Do Right," created one of cinema's most iconic animated characters and the unforgettable line "I'm not bad.

I'm just drawn that way."
