Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 fantasy-comedy mystery film that blends live-action and animation in a groundbreaking way. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg, the story takes place in 1940s Hollywood where cartoon characters—called “Toons”—live alongside humans. The film follows private detective Eddie Valiant as he investigates a murder and tries to clear the name of the zany cartoon star Roger Rabbit, who has been framed for the crime. Along the way, Eddie meets Roger’s glamorous wife, Jessica Rabbit, one of the film’s most iconic characters, famous for the line, “I’m not bad, I’m just drawn that way.”
The movie was revolutionary for combining characters from multiple studios, featuring appearances by icons like Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Daffy Duck in the same film. It was praised for its special effects, humor, and noir-inspired story, and it helped revive interest in animation during the late 1980s.
