Intrada is set to make Disney fans p-p-p-pleased with a major soundtrack expansion: Alan Silvestri's stirring score to Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Gary K. Wolf's quirky novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? - the tale of a hard-boiled private detective named Eddie Valiant solving the murder of a comic strip character - was equal parts Raymond Chandler and Chuck Jones, and perfect film fodder. But nobody could have predicted what Who Framed Roger Rabbit would have become: Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman's script rearranged the plot into a Chinatown-esque mystery in 1940s Hollywood, with plenty of vintage animated characters making cameos alongside Roger Rabbit, his unbelievable wife Jessica, his co-star Baby Herman, the short-tempered Benny The Cab and more.

You read that right: animator Richard Williams and his team, combined with the efforts of George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic, intermingled flesh-and-blood actors with animation in ways never thought possible. Toon actors had real depth and lifelike shadows, and interacted seamlessly with real-life sets and actors while the camera moved as dynamically as any modern Hollywood blockbuster.

A killer human cast including British actor Bob Hoskins as Eddie Valiant, Joanna Cassidy as his girl Friday and Christopher Lloyd as the villainous Judge Doom and tight, action-packed direction by Back To The Future helmer Robert Zemeckis, Roger Rabbit became a runaway success, becoming the second-highest grossing film of 1988, winning four Oscars (including a special achievement award for Williams' animation-live action hybrids) and helping kickstart a major renaissance for hand-drawn animation at Walt Disney Studios (whose imprint Touchstone released the film due to its slightly more risqué content than your average animated feature).

Zemeckis' choice to score the film was a no-brainer: Alan Silvestri had scored the director's last two films, Romancing The Stone and Back To The Future, and brought his best musical tricks when recording the score with the London Symphony Orchestra. A bushel of distinct, jazzy themes (lightly nudging the ribs of the film's noir trappings), combined with playful Carl Stalling-esque cartoon music (including one deep cut from a 1931 Merrie Melodies cartoon, "Smile, Darn Ya, Smile") and BTTF-esque rhythmic action cues, make this simply one of the best scores of Silvestri's oeuvre.

The original 46-minute soundtrack album offered a wonderful sampling of Silvestri's work on the film, but the wall-to-wall score of the film meant many cues were left off that release. Three decades later, Intrada and Disney have joined forces to provide the ultimate edition of the Roger Rabbit soundtrack, featuring the complete score alongside the original soundtrack presentation. Rarity collectors won't be disappointed, either: eight unreleased alternates will be included, as well as the first-ever release of music from three Roger Rabbit theatrical shorts produced in the years after the film's success. 1989's Tummy Trouble, the most famous due to its inclusion on the bestselling video release of Honey, I Shrunk The Kids (which it preceded in theaters, too), was scored by the late, great James Horner, while Bruce Broughton handled duties on 1990's Roller Coaster Rabbit and 1993's Trail Mix-Up.

As always, the expanded Roger Rabbit will be available from Intrada while quantities and interest remain! Read on for the full track list and a pre-order link from the label.
