WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT opens. Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman. Based on Who Cnsored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf. In a Hollywood circa 1948 where cartoon characters freely intereact with live folks, Bob Hoskin's boozy, washed-up gumshoe agrees to help popular cartoon star Roger Rabbit beat a murder rap. Inspired, deliriously hilarious romp. With Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, Charles Fleischer, Joanna Cassidy and Stubby Kaye.
