Suggested by kylewhite
A follow-up/semi-reboot of the 1988 smash hit Who Framed Roger Rabbit, based on Gary K. Wolf's follow-up book to "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?" (the source material for the movie). When cartoon star Roger Rabbit is up for a part in a new motion picture, he begins to suspect that his voluptuous wife Jessica is having an affair with Hollywood hunk Clark Gable. Roger enlists the help of private eye Eddie Valiant to investigate the alleged affair, and soon enough, the case turns into a murder mystery. Also joining in on the madness is Police Sergeant Bulldog Bascomb, a full-blooded hound with razor-sharp teeth sunk into Eddie’s case, Heddy, Eddie's sister and a possible suspect, Kirk Enigman, a shadowy Toon, and Jessica's diminutive twin sister Joellyn.
