Who framed Roger Rabbit?

A magical blend of live-acting and animation that comes off brilliantly due to the super effort by Bob Hoskins in playing to imaginary “co-stars” who were drawn in later. Hoskins plays Eddie Valiant, a has-been gumshoe in the ‘40s film noir mould who comes out of a self enforced retirement. Someone is out to steal Toon Town from the cartoon characters who inhabit the magical land. To get their hands on the valuable property they frame its biggest star, Roger Rabbit for murder. Detective Valiant must solve the case and save the toons. Cast also includes Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Cassidy, Stubby Kaye and Charles Fleisher. Based on the story “Who censored Roger Rabbit?” by Gary K. Wolf and winner of four Academy Awards.
