Who Framed Roger Rabbit was an American film that mixed live action with animated fantasy film and was the first of its kind. This 1988 film was based around Hollywood in the 1940s in a world where animated characters and humans coexist. In 1981, Walt Disney Pictures purchased the rights to the story line, where two drafts for the script were written before Disney brought in Steven Spielberg to work on the film.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a very large stepping stone in the movie industry, creating the path for other movies and shows, like Space Jam, to follow in.
