Editorial Reviews

Pulling a Rabbit Out of a Hat is very impressive in its scope and thorough coverage of the making of the Roger Rabbit film, its evolution, and its aftermath in terms of sequels, theme park adaptations and merchandise. For anyone interested in this story, everything he/she could possibly want to know is in this book!
