In WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT, gumshoe detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) is o_n the job in both Hollywood and Toontown, and the line between reality and fantasy gets blurred as Eddie tries to solve a major "who dunnit." He's thrown for quite a set of curves when he meets Jessica Rabbit, the sultry "toon" who whispers "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way." When Eddie gets mixed up with the fast-talking "toon" Roger Rabbit (Charles Fleischer, TV's "House of Mouse") he finds himself crossing paths with such characters as the hilarious Baby Herman (Lou Hirsch, "Tom & Viv"), Benny the Cab, the sinister Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) and more, in a wacky adventure of a lifetime.
