Roger Rabbit (character): Difference between revisions

Line 1:

[[File:Roger_wfrr.jpg|thumb]]'''Roger Rabbit''' is the titular anthropomorphic rabbit and deuteragonist

of the film, a frantic over-anxious type who often stutters while screaming. The character first appeared in the book, [[Who Censored Roger Rabbit?]] by Gary K. Wolf, which was adapted into the 1988 Academy-Award winning Walt Disney film, [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]. 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. Both the animation and live action were then composited by ILM fx studios in LA. 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. 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. He is framed for a murder and seeks out Valiant to help clear his name. 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. One of his famous traits is his voice, "P-b-b-b-b-bleeeease!". 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]]
