Amblin Entertainment and Steven Spielberg were brought in to produce the movie alongside Zemeckis who would direct it.
Creating The Movieĭisney had been on board with this as a film since the book came out and had purchased the movie rights in 1981. Doom is killed and everyone lives happily ever after. We find out that Doom killed Marvin, and Maroon and in the Acme factory Doom shares his plan to destroy Toon Town, melt it with Dip, and build a freeway (mirroring what would end up happening in Los Angeles).Įddie battles Doom who is actually a toon and the one that killed Eddie’s brother. Maroon is killed and isn’t able to share the details of the will. Maroon had blackmailed Marvin to sell his company so he could sell the studio. We find out that Maroon Cartoons is being sold to Cloverleaf that runs the transportation system in town, and had bought the trolly network before Marvin was murdered. We find Roger hiding out in Eddies’ office swearing that he’s innocent. It’s thought that Roger may be innocent and that Marvins will – which had been lost – was going to give the toons the right to owning ToonTown. Judge Doom is inherently sinister and has created something called “dip” which can kill a toon. We meet Judge Doom and his team of weasels who are charged with trying to track down Roger and bring him to justice. Marvin is found dead and it looks like Roger did it. Eddie Valiant is brought in to check up on Roger’s smoking hot wife, Jessica, as she’s thought to be romantically involved with Marvin Acme who owns the Acme Corporation and Toon Town itself. Maroon – head of Maroon Cartoons – pretty nervous. Roger Rabbit is a top star but has been having lackluster reviews as of late which is making R.K. The basic plot follows the story of the characters of ToonTown who live amongst real-life humans. The book, however, is set in the modern-day and Who Framed Roger Rabbit would partly be looking at the glory of old Hollywood. BUT, Roger had created a doppelganger that was in on this and another murder, and a genie from a magic lamp intervenes.Īnyhoo, the book would still be the basis for the movie as all the main characters are in it. The big difference in this book is that Roger ends up being murdered. The main elements are there including Eddie Valiant as the detective and Roger Rabbit as the main character. Wolf and I had no idea that this thing ever existed. Many people don’t know this but the movie is actually based on a book from 1981 called Who Censored Roger Rabbit? It was a mystery novel written by Gary K. Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out in 1988 and as mentioned, was directed by the great Robert Zemeckis. I hope to hell you’ve seen this movie but if you haven’t, pause your reading and do what you can to go watch it. Setting The Stage For Who Framed Roger Rabbit This article is a look back on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, how it all came together, and why we will never see a movie like this again.Įver. As great a triumph as the movie has been, a Robert Zemeckis live-action/animated movie from 1988 probably takes the cake.
That first sentence was in reference to the juggernaut that is, of course, The Avengers, End Game, and everything to do with the MCU. “Avengers: Endgame is the most ambitious crossover event in cinematic history…”
