🐰 ROGER RABBIT 🎬
ANIMATED CARTOON CHARACTER • WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988) • VOICED BY CHARLES FLEISCHER
📚 THE RABBIT WHO BEGAN IN A BOOK
Roger Rabbit first appeared in Gary K. Wolf’s 1981 mystery novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? The original story imagined cartoon characters living alongside humans, although its plot differed considerably from the later film.
🎥 A CARTOON RABBIT IN BIG TROUBLE
Released in 1988, Who Framed Roger Rabbit follows a cartoon star accused of murder in 1947 Hollywood. Private detective Eddie Valiant, played by Bob Hoskins, reluctantly helps Roger uncover the truth in a city shared by humans and animated characters.
🎙️ CHARLES FLEISCHER FINDS ROGER’S VOICE
Comedian Charles Fleischer gave Roger his distinctive high-pitched voice and nervous stammer. He even wore a rabbit costume on set while performing alongside the live-action actors, helping them interact with a character who would be animated later.
🎨 WHEN CARTOONS ENTERED THE REAL WORLD
Director Robert Zemeckis and animation director Richard Williams helped make Roger’s interactions with real actors remarkably convincing. Artists combined hand-drawn animation, moving cameras, practical effects, and carefully matched lighting to bring the two worlds together.
❤️ AN UNLIKELY CARTOON COUPLE
Roger’s wife, Jessica Rabbit, is a glamorous nightclub singer whose appearance contrasts with his goofy personality. Kathleen Turner supplied Jessica’s speaking voice, while Amy Irving performed her singing voice in the film.
🏆 A RABBIT WHO CHANGED MOVIE HISTORY
The film earned three competitive Academy Awards and a special award for its animation direction. Its success helped renew enthusiasm for traditional animation, while Roger continued entertaining audiences through animated shorts and theme-park attractions.
