    • 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.

    10/10
    One of the best of all time
    When this original movie was conceived and released in 1988, it was seen as a movie for the kids, but it soon found its way into the hearts of moviegoers everywhere. This was a landmark movie, cementing skills from all areas of Hollywood, from the budding special effects industry, to the acting skills of Bob Hoskins, to the SUPERB directing skills of Robert Zemeckis, to create one of the most impressive movies in Hollywood.

    While this movie was not the first of it's kind, it was definitely the first to have cartoons and real actors interact so seamlessly, and it is impressive that it was made over 15 years ago. Another impressive part of this movie is the soundtrack, using the classic 20's jazz song "Why Don't You Do Right?" to bring back the old jazz club scene, to make for a truly authentic feel from a cartoon character, as well as the detective music used all originally composed. All around, this movie is one that I Grew up with, and children and adults will be enjoying for decades to come, because Who Framed Roger Rabbit will be a classic in the movie world for a long long time.

    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?
