Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Scene 1 Summary

  • R.K. Maroon presents a Maroon Cartoon. "Somethin's Cooking!"
  • An adorable baby named Baby Herman is left in the care of an ingratiatingly annoying rabbit named Roger.
  • Never hire Roger Rabbit as a baby sitter. Within seconds Baby Herman is crawling through the non-childproofed kitchen for the cookie jar.
  • There's fire, sharp objects, rat poison, electric shocks—all the cartoon gag staples that would kill someone in real life but are hilarious in a cartoon.
  • But the baby gets his cookie, and Roger—even though his head is crushed by a refrigerator—is fine, because he's a cartoon.
