In the early days of Hollywood, humans and "toons" work together to make lucrative cartoons for the movies. When a producer is murdered, one of the most famous toons, Roger Rabbit, is accused of the crime. He convinces private detective Bob Hoskins to prove his innocence, who has his own problems to deal with. The toons quickly wear out their welcome: they are loud, grating and annoying. The faux film noir is never convincing and neither is the contrived plot. Even the much vaunted special effects have diminished with time and have lost their wow factor.
