'''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 (film)|Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''. Mixing both live action and animation to create a believable "toon" universe, Disney set up an animation studio in Camden Town, London, whilst the live action was shot at Elstree 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]]-like gloves.

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. Afterwards, his mood swings violently.

Roger also starred in a [[Roger Rabbit (comic book)|comic book series]] from April 1990 to September 1991 and a spin-off series called ''[[Roger Rabbit's Toontown]]'', published from June to October 1991, which featured Roger in the first story and supporting characters like [[Jessica Rabbit]] (Roger's voluptuous human wife), [[Baby Herman]] (his co-star in [[Maroon Cartoons]]), [[Benny the Cab]] (Roger's taxicab friend), and the [[Toon Patrol]] (Roger's enemies).

In the 1988 ~~ABC~~ special ''[[Mickey's 60th Birthday]]'', Mickey Mouse is punished by a sorcerer for his conceited, "everybody loves me" attitude with a curse which results in no-one knowing who he is. Mickey must now wander the real world as an unknown, until he finally learns humility. After the curse is lifted, Roger Rabbit rediscovers Mickey, and is hailed as a hero.

In the 1988 NBC special ''[[Mickey's 60th Birthday]]'', Mickey Mouse is punished by a sorcerer for his conceited, "everybody loves me" attitude with a curse which results in no-one knowing who he is. Mickey must now wander the real world as an unknown, until he finally learns humility. After the curse is lifted, Roger Rabbit rediscovers Mickey, and is hailed as a hero.

Disney and [[Amblin Entertainment]] attempted to resurrect Roger for a sequel. However, a preliminary budget was deemed too large and the film never got past the script stage. Several 3D CGI tests and a 3D CGI rendering of Roger were completed, however, despite the fact that no actual footage was actually shot or completed. However, [[Frank Marshall]], the producer of the first film, told MTV in late 2007 that he would be open to any plans to bring the Roger sequel back in the works.
