Roger Rabbit was hugely popular back in the day. He was the original Stitch/Olaf.

If it weren't for DIsneyland Paris flopping and killing most of the Disney Decade projects, Roger Rabbit was gonna get his own land at Disney MGM Studios. Yeah, there was Toontown at Disneyland, but this was to be more actively dedicated to the film with a precursor to the dark ride we got at Disneyland centered on Baby Herman, a simulator ride on a Toontown bus, and a rollercoaster based on the Rollercoaster Rabbit short.

Additionally, sequel plans and a fourth shorts ended up on the shelf because of Eisner getting into a feud with Spielberg around the time Katzenberg got booted (hence why they formed Dreamworks), and Spielberg deciding he didn't have it in him to do the original plan for a second Roger film, which was a prequel set in World War II. After Schindler's List, Spielberg didn't want to do anymore films with Nazis as pulp baddies or comically inept ones.

If you consider these shorts taking place after the movie, that means that Roger convinced the new owners of Maroon Cartoons to allow his wife to appear in his shorts. That's kind of sweet, you know?

There's a really nice shoop of her topless.
I have it saved but I can't find it for the life of me

Oh yeah, and the World War II Roger film had this subplot about Roger trying to discover who his real parents were.

Turns out they were Bugs Bunny and a human woman, the reveal accompanied by Bugs saying "Ain't I a stinker?"

Bingo. I'm glad someone else remembers this. Publicity mentioned that Disney intended to make Roger as popular as Mickey's gang overnight, and at the time they seemed to succeed. Love him or hate him, Roger was everywhere until Disney/Spielberg politics caused a deliberate backbenching of the Roger characters.

>Roger Rabbit was gonna get his own land at Disney MGM Studios. Yeah, there was Toontown at Disneyland, but this was to be more actively dedicated to the film

Do I dimly remember that this themed area was actually to have been called Hollywoodland? It was also have featured "Dick Tracy's Crimestoppers," back when Disney expected its Dick Tracy movie to be a guaranteed success.

The 1990s saw a huge amount of corporate nostalgia for 1940s Hollywood and its associated comedy, cartoons, and Film Noir. Warner actively rode this wave throughout the decade—until Jamie Kellner deliberately used his power at WB and CN to flog Scooby-Doo and Pokemon and bury WB's older evergreen properties.
Life's a bitch.

that is the worst crime. i need more big boobed sexy voiced redheads, dammit

Dick Tracy was another part of those expansion plans. I believe both the Roger Rabbit area and Tracy were gonna veer off of Sunset Boulevard, around where Rock n Roller Coaster is now.

Biggest thing I wish they had built from those plans was the full Muppet Studios land set for the Muppetvision area.

Does anybody have a slow motion GIF of the scene from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, where you can see up Jessica's skirt to reveal she's not wearing panties? (I'm not requesting this. I'm just curious)

>>78513805
I do.

He might not be requesting it, but I'm pretty sure the rest of us would worship you if you posted them.

Would make for a great plot for a second movie, a toons popularity on the rise only for it to be held back and eventually shot down because of feuding creators.

We could get a WFRR world in Kingdom Hearts 3, but there's a shitload of problems to get around. At the very least Roger just cameos in a certain world and that's it.

Don't forget that they wanted Richard Williams to keep working on Roger Rabbit. However, Richard was working on Roger Rabbit to get the funding he needed for Thief and the Cobbler. He got sick and tired working on Roger Rabbit since it took time away for what he objectively thought was his masterpiece.

I wish they did do more shorts (at least) and another movie (if it was as good or better than the first). If only to see more Jessica.
