Who Framed Roger Rabbit?/Characters: Difference between revisions

 

Grizzled [[Private Detective]] who slipped into alcoholism and developed bitter grudge against Toons after his brother got murdered by one of them when they were investigating a case in Toontown. He is hired to take some dirty pictures about Jessica Rabbit's affair with Marvin Acme, but is pulled into the murder investigation (against his will) after Acme gets murdered and Jessica's husband, Roger is framed for it.

* [[Action Survivor]]: His modus operandi to come out of trouble. He's also a smarter version of this.

* [[The Alcoholic]]: At the beginning of the movie Eddie Valiant has been an alcoholic since his brother was murdered by a Toon, but he drops the habit by the end.

 

The [[Hanging Judge]] of LA and Toontown, who thinks that the only way to repress the madness of the Toons is to make them respect the law... or more accurately, [[Scare'Em Straight|fear it]]. If he has to execute a few on his way to get the message across, so be it. {{spoiler|It's later revealed that he himself IS a toon in a rubber mask, and wants to destroy Toontown (and the Toons while he's on it) so he can build a freeway and new city in place of it, thus making himself filthy rich. Ironic while considering that he's a Toon himself or possibly more horrific because he is one. He also killed Marvin Acme, R K Maroon and Teddy Valiant.}}

* [[All There in the Manual]]: {{spoiler|According to ''The Resurrection of Doom'' (a sequel graphic novel published a year after the movie's release), his real name is Baron Von Rotten, and he was a Toon who frequently played cartoon villains until an accident on the set rendered him thinking he was truly villainous.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ambiguously Human]]}}

== Roger Rabbit ==

[[File:cliprogerrabbit_7816.gif|frame]]

 

A cartoon star who gets framed for Marvin Acme's murder because his wife Jessica had an affair with him.

* [[One of the Kids|Adult Child]].

* [[Badly-Battered Babysitter]]: In his cartoons.

 

Roger's wife, who has been made into a sex symbol - both in and out of the movie - and seeing what she looks like, it's pretty justified.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Moral ambiguity aside, Jessica is a [[Nice Girl]] who just wants to make sure her husband isn't in trouble. Even willing to participate in an affair with Acme, when Maroon threatened to fire Roger. But don't let that fool you, she's got a bad temper and is one of the few Toons to know how to use a gun without any comedic backfire. As proven with the former when she slapped Eddie in the face for his (Unknowingly on his part.) part in Acme's Murder and the latter when she {{Spoiler| saves Eddie by shooting Doom.}}

* [[The Chick]]

== The Toon Patrol ==

[[File:Toon_Patrol_5449.jpg|frame]]

 

The [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] that Judge Doom hired to catch Roger Rabbit who bear a strong resemblance to the weasels from Disney's ''[[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad]]''. Their names are Smart Ass, Greasy, Wheezy, Psycho and Stupid, but you only find that out in scripts.

* [[All There in the Script]]: None of their names are spoken in the movie.

* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Greasy, of all the gang, has darkest brown fur.

* [[The Hyena]]: All of them to varying degrees. Doom warns them that one day they're going to die laughing, like their idiot hyena cousins.

* [[Keet]]: Psycho.

* [[Larynx Dissonance]]: [[June Foray]] voiced Wheezy.

* [[Laughing Mad]]: Psycho.

* [[Wicked Weasel|Wicked Weasels]]

 

 

Roger's friend and coworker on the movie business, who is - [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|a baby]] - with an exception, that he's really [[Not Growing Up Sucks|about 50 years old]].

* [[Cigar Chomper]]: Always has a smoke on hand or in his mouth whenever he's not in character.

* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Granted, he could be mistaken as a [[Dirty Kid]].

== Benny the Cab ==

[[File:48652_10200358_6599_n_5983.jpg|frame| Official Transport of Toon Town]]

 

A foul-mouthed, super fast cartoon taxi cab that is friends with Roger. He apparently has a history of run-ins with the law thanks to his rather chaotic driving skills. Has the supernatural ability to appear whenever someone sticks out their thumb.

* [[Animate Inanimate Object]]

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]
