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 didn’t get it as a kid, but it’s so clearly a metaphor for the decision to build freeways through marginalized communities that happened in real life. Thanks for posting this here, I hadn’t seen this movie in probably 15 years, and it holds up really well. Too bad there wasn’t a real life Eddie Valiant back then.
