I have to disagree with the Roger Rabbit conclusion. Murray is the better comedian, but Hoskins is far and away the better actor. Murray is too silly to play the appropriately stark contrast to Roger Rabbit that Hoskins does. The film would've lost a dimension with Murray starring, and instead just lump up on the whimsical.
