From the Studio
It's 1947 Hollywood, and Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins), a down-on-his-luck detective, is
hired to find proof that Marvin Acme, gag factory mogul and owner of Toontown, is playing
hanky-panky with femme fatale Jessica Rabbit, wife of Maroon Cartoon superstar Roger
Rabbit. When Acme is found murdered, all fingers point to Roger, and the sinister,
power-hungry Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) is on a mission to bring Roger to justice.
Roger begs the Toon-hating Valiant to find the real evildoer and the plot thickens as
Eddie uncovers scandal after scandal and realizes the very existence of Toontown is at
stake! WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is deliciously outrageous fun the whole family will enjoy.
