In 1947 Hollywood, humans and cartoons each have their own worlds and do their best to keep the peace between them. That scenario, obviously ripe with some social commentary, keeps the wacky antics and physics of animated films and characters while infusing the story with a classic film noir plot. Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) is a private detective and definitely not Toon-friendly, but he must team up with Roger Rabbit, the aging and flailing star of Maroon Cartoons, to solve a mystery with threads that appear to weave in and out of Toontown and have caught up all of Hollywood.
