The huge amount of publicity created by
Disney for this movie overshadowed the role of Spielberg
in the creation of Roger Rabbit. Involved in the making
of this huge movie was the cooperation of Disney, and
Warner Brothers; the use of amazing special effects for
live action filming and the amazing acting of the main
characters. Most of the cast didn't exist until after
shooting.

shows cartoon characters as actors in their live action
toons. The main character is a real detective (Eddie
Valiant played by Bob Hoskins) who has hated toons since
his brother was killed by one. He is hired to catch Roger
Rabbit's wife Jessica playing pattycake with someone else.
Soon Roger has been framed for murder. The Villain is
Judge Doom played by Christopher Lloyd.
The Success of Who Framed
Roger Rabbit brought three fully animated sequels.
One of the sequels was the short, Rollercoaster
Rabbit played with Dick Tracy. The others
are Tummy Trouble (1990) and Trail Mix-up (1993).
