It's the story of a man, a woman, and a rabbit in a triangle of trouble.

Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is the fantasy comedy film loosely based on the 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf.

Rewind to 1988 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of this live-action and animation hybrid where humans and cartoon characters (referred to as "toons") co-exist in an alternate 1947 Hollywood.

Down-on-his-luck private eye Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) gets hired by cartoon producer R.K. Maroon (Alan Tilvern) to investigate an adultery scandal involving Jessica Rabbit (Kathleen Turner), the sultry wife of Maroon's biggest star, Roger Rabbit (Charles Fleischer). But when Marvin Acme (Stubby Kaye), Jessica's alleged paramour and the owner of Toontown, is found murdered, the villainous Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd) vows to catch and destroy Roger.
