Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 American fantasy comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis from a screenplay written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman. It is loosely based on the 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf. The film stars Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, Stubby Kaye, Joanna Cassidy, and the voices of Charles Fleischer and an uncredited Kathleen Turner.
I literally just watched this YouTube video yesterday, comparing the film to the original novel it’s based on (titled, Who Censored Roger Rabbit?). The original story is way different! Disney basically rewrote almost everything for the film, save a few characters’ names.
Ohhh, interesting! Never read the book, but t yeah, very different. Makes me think it’s time for a retelling remake made by Villaneuve.
