Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) | Ep. 3 - Part 1

Getting cartoons and live actors to share the screen this convincingly had never been done at this scale, and it nearly didn't happen here. Luke, John, and Westy begin the story.

In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Robert Zemeckis, the cast, and the second act — including Bob Hoskins acting opposite thin air, the unprecedented studio deal that united rival cartoon characters, and the noir mystery underneath the mayhem.

Toontown and its secrets are still ahead. Part 2 opens the case: crew, finale, reception, legacy. Out now.
