Before I get into this, I want to make mention “A FILM TO REMEMBER” will be a series about films that have reached a milestone anniversary since their origin in being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. The articles will contain the film’s plot outline, director, cast, a compilation of trivialities, various photos, movie trailer, critical reception and more. So, let’s start:

We are here to mark the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Robert Zemeckis’ “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. Let’s take an inside look at the film:

PLOT OUTLINE:

Toon star, Roger Rabbit, is worried that his wife Jessica Rabbit is playing patty cake with someone else, so the studio hires detective Eddie Valiant, who happens to hate toons, to snoop on her. But the stakes are quickly raised when Marvin Acme is found dead and Roger is the prime suspect with only the detective Valiant being his only hope to prove his innocence.
