    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This movie is the first (and only, as of 2022) time cartoon characters from Walt Disney and Warner Bros. have appeared together on-screen.
    • Goofs
      The Hollywood sign is visible through Eddie Valiant's office window. In 1947, the sign would read HOLLYWOODLAND, the "LAND" part of the sign was taken off in 1949.
    • Quotes

      Jessica Rabbit: You don't know how hard it is being a woman looking the way I do.

      Eddie Valiant: You don't know how hard it is being a man looking at a woman looking the way you do.

      Jessica Rabbit: I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits: "Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, Tweetie Bird, Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, Porky Pig, Acme, and all other Warner Bros. characters are trademark of Warner Brothers Inc. Copyright 1988 Warner Bros. Inc. used by permission."
    • Alternate versions
      Some versions include an extra sequence (called the "Pig Head Sequence"): Eddie Valiant had gone into Toontown, ambushed by the weasels and had a pig's head "tooned" onto his. He went home and took a shower during which Jessica walks into his apartment. This scene was cut from the original release, but did appear in theatrical trailers and a television broadcast. A scene cut from the theatrical version where Jessica rolls up her dress to reveal her stockings as she sits cross-legged is included in this sequence.

    The Best Film Produced in 1988
    "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" appears to be a film for the kiddies on first glance, but this is a somewhat complicated murder mystery that never gets old or dull. The animated title character has been framed and now he is out to clear his name with the help of a human detective (Bob Hoskins). Robert Zemeckis cemented his ability to make a film with this winner. The special effects, which are remarkable, never detract from the story and in the end they add a great dimension to this fine motion picture. Overlooked in 1988, but the best film from that weak year. 5 stars out of 5.

    FAQ5

    • When Dolores loans the camera to Eddie Valiant, she brings up that the film hasn't been developed since the trip to Catalina. Eddie says jovially "we should do that again." Delores however looks despondent (or mealcholy). Why?
    • Does Donald Duck say something distasteful to Daffy Duck?
    • Well, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
