Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the film that expertly mixed cartoons with live action, is loosely based on the Gary Wolf book Who Censored Roger Rabbit. Now it’s time for us to read between the lines to find the differences between the book and the film.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Who Censored Roger Rabbit are both mystery stories that merge the real world with the toon world. One involves the killing of movie executive while the other surrounds the shooting of the title character. While the movie and book have some similarities as they both involve private eye Eddie Valiant trying to solve a murder, but a vast number of plot points (particularly the victim) and character attributes were altered from the book to the movie. At that, it’s time pull back the proverbial shower curtain on all the differences between the book and the film.
