Roger has been known to become very loud when he drinks alcoholic beverages, making a piercing steam-whistle noise that is loud enough to shatter any glass objects nearby.
He is a white clownish rabbit with a gap between his front teeth, a voice that resonates of Huntz Hall in "The Bowery Boys", a blue Porky Pig-like bowtie with yellow polka dots, a red-haired Bugs Bunny-like head with blue eyes, a pink nose and round-tipped ears, red Oswald the Lucky Rabbit-like pants with a green patch behind and yellow Mickey Mouse-like gloves. One of his famous traits is his voice, "P-b-b-b-b-bleeeease!". In the film, the voice of Roger is performed by comedian Charles Fleischer, who was known for electing to wear an actual rabbit costume on the set to get into the role.
He is framed for a murder and seeks out Valiant to help clear his name. In the film version, he is re-envisioned as a 1940's character in animated cartoons and a resident of the fictional Los Angeles enclave, Toontown. In the book, Roger is a sidekick in a popular comic strip called "Baby Herman", his murder is being investigated by a detective named Eddie Valiant and a slowly evaporating stunt doppelganger of himself that he created hours before being shot. Both the animation and live action were then composited by ILM fx studios in LA. Mixing both live action and animation to create a believable "toon" universe, Disney studios set up an animation studio in Camden Town, London, whilst the live action was shot at Elstree film studios. Wolf, which was adapted into the 1988 Academy-Award winning Walt Disney film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The character first appeared in the book, Who Censored Roger Rabbit by Gary K. Roger Rabbit is the titular anthropomorphic rabbit and deuteragonist of the film, a frantic over-anxious type who often stutters while screaming. But she’s irresistible enough to both men and (male) toons to get away with it – and she knows it."We toons may act idiotic, but we're not stupid!" She’s a regular femme fatale – mysterious, dangerous, and a whole lot to handle. She uses her feminine assets as a tool, keeps secrets until they absolutely must be revealed, and operates on a need-to-know basis. Still, winning the toon-hating Eddie’s trust might be almost as hard as busting this case wide open. Jessica lends her help to him on a number of occasions, filling him in on new bits of evidence and even saving his life. She works harder and possibly knows more about the case than anyone, even Eddie Valiant, who seems to be at the head of figuring everything out. But did she stray from Roger with Acme?Ĭhallenge… helping Roger prove his innocence so she can live happily ever after with him. Jessica simply says, “He makes me laugh.” Apparently that’s what it takes to get to Jessica’s heart, and stay there. Everyone, including private detective Eddie Valiant, wants to know what she sees in Roger.

Men and toons alike flock to see her sing in her sultry way. Profession… star singer at the Ink and Paint nightclub. She swears he doesn’t have a violent bone in his body and she’ll stop at nothing to help prove his innocence, even if it means explaining what she was really doing with Acme. It might be true that Jessica was caught playing patty-cake with Acme, and that Roger Rabbit saw photos of said patty-cake session only hours before Acme’s murder-but Jessica is convinced that her little “honey bunny” never could’ve hurt anyone. Living… in a desperate search for her husband Roger Rabbit, an A-list toon actor who is wanted for the murder of Toon Town owner Marvin Acme. It’s possible that she never grew up into the woman you see today, at least not the way humans think of it, but rather she was simply “drawn that way.” Jessica’s childhood remains a mystery-if it ever really happened.
