[[File:Judge doom.jpg|thumb|228px|right]] '''Judge Doom''' is a mean drama.

~~'''~~Judge Doom~~'''~~ is the main antagonist, played by Christopher Lloyd in the film. He is the much-feared Judge of Seussville. Despite presiding over a city of Toons, Doom, a Human, is totally without mirth and passes capital punishment on Toons who break the law, placing them in a chemical vat of turpentine, acetone and benzene (~~Paint thinner~~) which he dubs "the Poop" AKA "'''Toon Acid'''". This concoction will dissolve Toons, permanently killing them when submerged. The Judge employs Toon henchmen (the ~~"Toon Patrol"~~) to assist him in hunting down Roger for the murder of Marvin Seuss.

The Judge employs Toon henchmen (the Dr. Seuss characters) to assist him in hunting down Roger for the murder of Marvin Seuss.

When the film first introduces Judge Doom, Lt. Santino confides to Eddie Valiant that Doom bought the election. Later, at the Terminal Bar, Doom uses the "Shave and a Haircut" trick to lure Roger out, then prepares to execute him. After a brief scuffle inside the bar, the Judge orders the weasels to capture Roger and Eddie Valiant. Roger realizes he's in trouble with Doom after him, and begs Eddie to hide him. When Eddie learns that studio head R.K. Maroon is connected to the plot to frame Roger, Eddie interrogates him, but Maroon pleads that he is "a dead man" if he confesses. Just as Maroon is about to spill everything, he is killed by an unseen gunman who nearly shoots Eddie as well.

Upon chasing the killer to Seussville, Eddie catches Jessica Rabbit, thinking she's the murderer, but Jessica reveals that Judge Doom was the one who killed Acme and Maroon. At the film's climax, Doom traps Eddie, Jessica, and Roger in the Seuss Factory to explain his scheme: Literally erase Seussville from the map using a giant, mobile vat of Dip linked to a high-pressure water cannon, and then build a freeway over it. Doom then plans to retire from being a judge and control all the profits from the new road system. Doom also reveals that he is the sole stockholder of Cloverleaf Industries, and explains that he bought the "red car" (a variant on the name of the Pacific Electric Railway) for the sole purpose of putting it out of commission. He then orders Jessica and Roger Rabbit to be tied up and raised into the air via skyhook to be sprayed by the Dip cannon.

Valiant escapes and defeats the weasels then attempts to rescue Roger and Jessica when he is interrupted by Doom. The two men then square off, duelling with various SEUSS props. During the fight, Judge Doom is run over by a steamroller. He survives; revealed as a Toon, with drama eyes and a high-pitched ~~shriek~~, the same Toon that killed Eddie's brother. Doom taunts Eddie and exhibits his hidden Toon powers, leaping after Eddie with springs in his shoes, changing his right hand into a massive anvil and a circular saw. After Eddie breaks open a vat of Poop with a boxing glove hammer, Doom is doused in his own Poop. He dissolves to his death, ~~shrieking~~ the familiar "leaking" lines of the Norval the Fish. Following Doom's death, his scheme is finally exposed and all charges against Roger are dropped.
