This Actress Represents Stephen King’s Addiction to Cocaine + 9 Other Movie Metaphors

8. Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Though this film looks like a fun children’s movie, it has a more sinister undertone. The human-cartoon divide in this animated film represents early 20th century US racism and segregation.

Humans and Toons live in separate parts of town, ride different elevators, and use different drinking fountains. The plot follows a human private eye named Eddie Valiant, whose brother was killed when a Toon dropped a piano on his head. Valiant is hired by a cartoon named Roger Rabbit, who has been framed for murder, and has to overcome his “Toonism.”
