How to Watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit Online
If you’re looking to watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit online, you need Disney+. Launched in 2019, this streaming platform is home to everything under the Disney umbrella, from the studio’s animated classics that we all know and love to the entire library of Marvel and Star Wars movies and shows. The huge Disney+ catalog also continues to grow with new content being added regularly, including new releases and exclusive productions like The Mandalorian and Loki.
Released in 1988, Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a movie adaptation of the 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit by author Gary K. Wolf. The film takes place in Los Angeles in 1947 and follows the story of hard-boiled and cynical private detective Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins). Humans live and work alongside “toons,” animated characters who reside in Toontown, but when the owner of Toontown winds up dead, toon star Roger Rabbit (voiced by Charles Fleischer) is framed for the crime. The desperate Roger recruits the reluctant Valiant — a man who has no love for toons, as his brother was murdered by one — to clear his name. The pair soon discovers that the crime and corruption run deeper than they thought, and must defend themselves against the sinister Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd).
