Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Do you know Who Framed Roger Rabbit? This Easter weekend, follow the bunny and find out whodunit as The Loft Cinema presents Cult Classics screenings of the groundbreaking 1988 live action/animated comedy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?!

It’s 1947 Hollywood, and Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins), a hard-boiled, down-on-his-luck detective, is hired to find proof that Marvin Acme, gag factory mogul and owner of Toontown, is playing hanky-panky with femme fatale Jessica Rabbit (voiced by an uncredited Kathleen Turner), wife of Maroon Cartoon superstar, Roger Rabbit. When Acme is found murdered, all fingers point to Roger, who begs the Toon-hating Valiant to find the real evildoer.  This hilarious, ground-breaking, Oscar-winning classic from director Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future) brilliantly combines live action with spectacular animation, creating something moviegoers had never seen before. Filled with hilarious sight gags, clever film noir references, and wild cross-over cartoon character action (Looney Tunes’ Daffy Duck and Disney’s Donald Duck on dueling pianos!), all leading to an action-packed, eye-popping final showdown, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is the stuff of childhood – and adult – dreams. (Dir. by Robert Zemeckis, 1988, USA, 104 mins., Rated PG)
