CANCELED – Revisiting the Classics: “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” – CANCELED

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED

Set in an alternate postwar Hollywood where humans and cartoon characters mix uneasily, the film follows grizzled gumshoe Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins), whose brother Teddy was murdered by an unknown ‘toon years earlier. Much to his chagrin, Eddie is drawn back into the topsy world of the ‘toons when animation studio magnate R.K. Maroon hires him to run a P.I. job on the bombshell wife of one of his biggest stars, Roger Rabbit. But as Eddie tugs at the threads of this seemingly simple investigation, he and Roger are drawn into a spiraling conspiracy against the ‘toons of Toontown, masterminded by the villainous Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd). Blending hard-boiled LA noir storytelling with unforgettable live-action performances and dazzling animation, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is an iconic and gloriously offbeat classic.

In this event, associate producer Steve Starkey and screenwriter Peter S. Seaman will join Carsey-Wolf Center Assistant Director Tyler Morgenstern for a post-screening discussion of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
