'''''Who Framed Roger Rabbit''''' is a 1988 combined live-action/animated film produced by [[Steven Spielberg]] and directed by [[Robert Zemeckis]]. Taking place in 1947 Los Angeles in a world where cartoon characters ("toons") and humans coexist, the film deals with a sour private eye ([[Bob Hoskins]]) investigating a toon rabbit (voiced by Charles Fleischer) and his buxom toon wife (voiced by [[Kathleen Turner]]) who both become implicated in the murder of a human. The film also stars [[Christopher Lloyd]] and [[Joanna Cassidy]] and also features cameos from numerous iconic cartoon characters. In 2016, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant" and selected for preservation in the [[National Film Registry]] by the United States Library of Congress. | |||
