    • 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
      Porky Pig closes out the movie telling the characters "That's All, Folks" and then saying the same thing to the viewers. Tinkerbell then appears fading the entire screen to black.
    • 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.

    "Who framed Roger Rabbit" is a classic
    I was a little surprised that "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" wasn't on the top 250. Almost everyone loves this film. It was a major breakthrough for movies. The cartoon world meets reality.

    Bob Haskins is to die for in this film, he plays such a great American detective and he didn't have much to work with. After all when he was talking to Roger, he wasn't really talking to anybody since it was a cartoon character. I love the way he develops his role so much, how he goes from this stick-to-the-book and all cartoons are bad to this lovable goofy guy due to Roger's insatiable love for life and cartoons. It's silly because it's a cartoon, but Roger and Bob clicked so well and are unforgettable.

    Christopher Lloyd... shudder! This guy gave me so many nightmares as a kid from his character as the judge. The ending where he reveals his true form, he is just terrifying and effective. Jessica Rabbit is so cool and sexy for a cartoon. She's just too much fun for this movie and is wonderful as a cartoon. "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way". My favorite scene is without a doubt when Eddie(played by Bob) is looking for Jessica and meets the crazy look-a-like in Toon Town. Just great and hilarious.

    Come on, fans! This is a terrific movie and deserves to be on the top 250 films of all time! It's a break through for cinema history and movies in general. It's a great one! I'd highly recommend this for the family and friends or just a Saturday with nothing to do.

    10/10

    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?
    • Is there ever going to be a sequel?
