A neo-noir mystery, a hard boiled detective story, a . . . wacky comedy? 

 

Who Framed Roger Rabbit puts the “toon” in Chinatoon and the “Dip” in Diple Indemnity. It’s the only film that could contain Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, and the impressive talents of award-winning actors without exploding to pieces like a stick of (Acme brand) TNT. 

It’s a marvelous melding of live-action crime drama and animated slapstick antics

 

Bob Hoskins, Christopoher Lloyd, Kathleen Turner and Charles Fleischer star in this beloved classic, set in a world of cartoons living side by side with human beings. Eddie Valiant, (Hoskins) a gruff and hard drinking private eye, finds himself embroiled in a (bunny) tail of corruption, lies, and infidelity as he tries to exonerate his “toon” client, the ever-plucky Roger Rabbit, of murder. But can he rustle up the evidence he needs before the sinister Judge Doom (Lloyd) executes Roger in a bubbling, toon-killing brew known as “The Dip?” 

 

P-p-p-please! 

 

Come see this one-of-a-kind film the way we saw it for the very first time: on a big screen, laughing along with your fellow movie-lovers, enthralled by its jaw-dropping special effects and enduring performances! 

 

For one night only at the Senate! 

 

The Senate Theater and The Detroit Theater Organ Society is supported by The Michigan Arts and Culture Council and The National Endowment for the Arts. 

Parking is available in our gated lot, on Gilbert, and Michigan Avenue
