  Roger Rabbit - Don Markstein's Toonopedia
Roger Rabbit would probably be an amusing footnote in modern literature, if The Walt Disney Company hadn't teamed with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment (Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures) to turn it into a feature-length film, displaying the most sophisticated melding of live action and animation ever seen.
As it is, Who Framed Roger Rabbit (the plot was modified to leave Roger alive at the end, and the title adjusted to match), which premiered June 21, 1988, sparked a new wave of modern animation, revitalizing Disney's position in that field.
Roger's first appearance in comic books was in a 1989 graphic novel published by Marvel Comics, titled The Resurrection of Doom (Judge Doom having been the villain in the movie).

 Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) is a technically-marvelous film blending animated, ink-and-paint cartoon characters and flesh-and-blood live actors, in a convincing comedy/mystery noir thriller, set in Los Angeles in 1947.
Framed for the murder, zany Maroon Cartoon Studios actor Roger Rabbit (voice of Charles Fleischer), a stuttering, disaster-prone 'Toon,' solicits help from reluctant, hard-boiled, boozing private eye Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) to clear his name.
In this book, Roger hired Eddie Valiant to investigate whether his sexy wife Jessica was having an affair with Clark Gable, one of Roger's rivals (another rival is Baby Herman) for the lead role of Rhett in the musical comedy version of Gone With the Wind.

 Who Framed Roger Rabbit | Reverse Shot
With his overly soft features, willowy body, and vaudeville-hell costuming, Roger Rabbit was a discreet, loving parody of character design from the golden-age of Hollywood animation; his obnoxious catchphrase (“P-b-b-b-b-blease!”) and manic, Jerry Lewis-like destructiveness were expressions of his inability to function in human society.
And I had all the Roger Rabbit merchandise I could find—a talking doll, a towel, an NES cartridge of such low quality that it makes me angry to this day, and my prized possession, a videocassette of the original Robert Zemeckis film, which I probably watched as a young kid at least two dozen times.
That talking doll—which broke within a month and only spoke at a normal speed if you manually slowed the pull-string—and the ill-advised video game speak to the cavalier manner in which films of the post-Ewok era were treated by their studios as first steps toward extensive tie-in licensing.

In Roger Rabbit, the Buena Vista bunch paid tongue-in-cheek homage to the wise-guy humor, the physical comedy, and the hyperactive Daffyness of rival Warner Brothers animation studios—and spoofed their own characters for good measure.
Hoskins plays Eddie Valiant, a hard-drinking, hard-boiled private eye who's hired to prove that the superstar Rabbit's sexpot wife, Jessica Rabbit (voiced by Kathleen Turner), is "playing patty cake" with Marvin Acme, head of the Acme gag factory and owner of Toontown.
