History YMMV / WhoCensoredRogerRabbit

* AnimationAgeGhetto: Gary Wolf had trouble getting ''Who Censored Roger Rabbit?'' published because of this, see WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids below.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Unlike the film, every single character in the main cast is unlikable. Eddie is a cynical bigot, Roger is [[spoiler:a murderer who planned to frame Eddie]], Jessica is a philandering porn star who [[spoiler:never loved Roger at all]]. Carol is one of the few likeable characters, though even she is a murder suspect. However, it all goes part-and-parcel with being a [[TheForties 40's]]-style potboiler.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Though [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit the film]] was not intended for children (at least, not entirely) and thus has a good deal of profanity and risque humor in it, it's still a fairly family-friendly ouvre in the vein of previous [[TheEighties eighties]] hits such as ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' and ''Film/BackToTheFuture''. These books, however, are most certainly not for children, being full of sex, violence, oodles and oodles of betrayal (seriously, take a shot every time someone gets back-stabbed), and featuring a racist bigot as a main character (but to be fair, he does chill out and become more tolerant through the course of his adventures). The original 1985 plans for the film were faithful to the book, but new leadership at Disney made it go through over ''forty'' revisions before getting the final product.

* MindRape:[[spoiler: Jessica]] only falls in love with [[spoiler: Roger]] because he wished for it within earshot of a jerkass genie. And she returns to her original life after the magic wears off, showing she never loved him of her own accord. Making their marriage actual (if unwitting) rape on [[spoiler: Roger’s]] part. However, Roger refuses to believe it, and makes Eddie promise to protect her even if she really did murder him.

Indeed, Mr. Wolf had difficulties selling this book to publishers because many assumed it was an extremely ill-conceived children's novel simply because [[AnimationAgeGhetto there were cartoons in the subject matter]].

* AssPull: Eddie literally [[spoiler: WISHES for conclusive proof (even though it's fake) that an already dead man]] was the sole murderer. Fortunately, the proof fits the crime - in fact, it's the ''only'' explanation that would work that didn't have Roger being the murderer.

** Although at that point he had it figured out, so he's really just saving his own reputation.
