About the Movie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Who Framed Roger Rabbit<\/em> is a groundbreaking 1988 live-action\/animated hybrid film directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Touchstone Pictures in association with Amblin Entertainment. The film is based on Gary K. Wolf\u2019s 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit?<\/em>, though its plot and characters diverge significantly from the source material. Set in a fantasy version of 1947 Los Angeles, the movie ingeniously blends noir detective fiction with slapstick cartoon comedy, creating a unique, genre-defying experience. The film is widely regarded for its technical achievements, sharp writing, and its loving homage to Golden Age animation.<\/p>\n\n\n
