Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Who Framed Roger Rabbit
A private detective in 1947 L.A. has to clear a wrongfully accused cartoon rabbit of a murder, at the same time coming to terms with his own brother/partner's murder by another cartoon character. Stunning blend of live-action and animation producing one of the most entertaining fantasy comedies of all time.
--Nathan James, Resident Scholar
