While I worked at Disney TVA from 2015-2019, I planned to pitch some "heritage" ideas (what they call when you pitch existing/old characters) and told an exec/friend that I wanted to pitch some kind of Roger Rabbit project, not a film sequel but a Roger TV series. The Disney exec stopped me right there and said it'd be useless; not because the company today doesn't care about Roger (I'm sure they feel enough time has passed to where a Roger return would hit the perfect nostalgia button for audiences), but because so many different people/companies own Roger, that it's really hard to do anything new with him. Disney, Spielberg's Amblin, AND apparently Gary K. Wolf the original author of the Roger Rabbit book all own him in some capacity. So apparently it's just really tough to get all 3 of those entities to agree and be happy with any kind of new Roger project.
And plus here's the pother thing I want to add, Nico, I also think they won't animate Roger Rabbit anymore especially around this time is due to the death of Richard Williams (the animator and voice actor on Roger Rabbit).
Well Roger is in the new Chip N' Dale movie, so I assume that cameo got permission from Amblin and Gary K. Wolf, unless the rules are different for cameos.
@@connorbeith3232 Oh, right. as in matter in fact, they might be able to make a Roger Rabbit show except they'll use digital except there's an actual tool to where you can use the pencil technique and then they can imitate hand-drawn animation.
I honestly don't think Roger needed a sequel. The first movie stands on its own quite well, and I don't think any direct follow up would manage to capture the lightning in a bottle the first film did. There was that short lived, and unfortunately all but lost to time Disney Comics series that had a decent follow up. Other than that, if they really wanted to have a sequel, I'd love to see one about Toons facing an uncertain future, fearing that television will cost all but the biggest name stars their jobs.
Best thing would be a spiritual sequel. or something else in the same universe but a later era. actually you mentioned TV, so a sequel set in the late 50s would be interesting. ... then again it sounds like this proposed prequel was going to ignore the calendar and just set it in WW2? okay.. that's about as weird as the idea of isolationist propaganda cartoons existing back then instead of the reverse.
It's probably not going to ever happen, and if it does, it'll most likely suck, because _Disney._ The only way it would actually be worth watching would be if Netflix bought it and interwove it with Bojack to make an entirely new show.
@@CrazyBear65 You act like they're the only entertainment conglomerate that fails to deliver with a movie sequel decades after the first. Jurassic World 2 exists, after all. Personally, I'm just glad that Zemeckis didn't get his horrible Mo-Cap CGI system all over Roger Rabbit, which he was threatening to do.
You seem to have missed that the guy who created Roger, I believe it was Gary Wolf, still has his fingers in this pie too. Getting THREE groups to agree to do anything on the silver screen, that's a little beyond the pale lately.
I remember reading an article saying that Robert Zemeckis wanted to use motion capture animation for the sequel. The human characters would have been done in mocap while the toons remained hand drawn. This was stated years before the passing of Bob Hoskins in 2014
People called me crazy when I was a kid, but I always insisted Bonkers was a spiritual sequel to Roger, given it was set in a world where Toons and Humans coexist and it was a Disney property. The reason no one else agreed with me? Roger wasn't there, and all the Humans were cartoons, too. Having read"Who Plugged Roger Rabbit", though, the movie is NOTHING like the source material, Jessica's first 'role' she had been tricked into becoming an adult comic character. She had no real love or loyalty to Roger, the movie over exaggerated Eddie's alcoholism, and the only line in the book I remember in the movie; Baby Herman, "I've got a thirty-year-old lust with a 3-year-old dinky." No ONE came out roses in the book.
how could anyone deny that's what Bonkers is? It was literally designed that way, just as Chip n Dale was a followup to the Rescuers. I thought the book was called 'who *censored* roger rabbit'
It was but a extremely rushed & mismanaged Disney toonworld only cartoon (even then only a handful of classic characters appear) as opposed to the multi-studio Hollywood age of the film. Put to market as Disney’s own intermission entertainment until the sequel gets released yet was surpassed by animaniacs
Great video on the history of the planned Roger Rabbit prequels, sequels, and eventual shorts. Until such time that Disney will go forward with Robert Zemeckis’s plans for the sequel, at least we can look forward to Roger’s cameo in the upcoming Disney + film “Chip n’ Dale Rescue Rangers” which itself appears to be a modern comedic take on the concepts of the original “Roger Rabbit” with its mix of hand-drawn, CGI, and motion capture characters.
Well, Sewer Reviewer, Scribbles, and Seekers collaborating on the canceled sequels of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? This is going to be a very interesting lost media video
We don't want another Space Jam situation, happening to Roger, the original is a cult classic, it would be hard to do with risk outweighing the reward, except sometimes execs don't care if it can have a big box office weekend.. Disney would have to presumably buy out if we ever want to see new Roger Rabbit material, and it's unsure if we do or not
I mean i always wondered why there was no Roger Rabbit 2. But yeah if Steven Spielburg and Disney both need to approve, then it's gonna be one heck of an ordeal to make it happen.
I wish they used the blue background end credits in the theatrical release of Who Framed Roger Rabbit 1988 instead of the black background end credits!
They really should bring back this movie it's been a long enough time I think it would do good right now if they actually tried to bring Roger rabbit back in the picture you might as well do it before all the actors pass away
You guys should discuss the interesting development of an cancelled live action and animated hybrid project called The Duck... The pitch is on UA-cam but the film looks like it's supposed to taking the whole concept of a toon entering into the real world a bit darker. O
Great video thank you so much I always dreamed of what a Roger rabbit sequel seeing this video made me realized that we really didn’t need one but this one felt like a movie to me so it was worth it and instead I hope we get a TV show at least
Eisner knowing full well he was going to shoot anything they presented down because he felt that the property was stale. The man sure knew how to waste time & money. Not gonna lie, that first sequel plot sounds Ferngully 2 & Secret of NIMH 2 levels of terrible.
Wait hold up, are you talking about the wartime one? Because if so, you're very very wrong. That sounds amazing, and really sounds like the perfect way to pay tribute to the goldest of the golden era of animation, but a thrilling, Captain America-esque period piece on top of that?!? If you think that sounds bad, you're goddamn insane.
I kind of wish we got one of these Roger Rabbit prequels in the 90s or early 00s, at least to see how much that live action/cartoon hybrid would've evolved since the first one look and tech wise. I bet they'd have done the inking, painting and shading digitally using CAPS, which could've allowed for more complex lighting to be pushed in because not everything had to be filled in by hand frame by frame anymore, leaving more room for extra flash, or at least that smooth CAPS look would've made the animation fit in the live action footage better. Maybe ILM would've built up on the work they've done on Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Death Becomes Her, Young Indy and all these other ones and would have now been very good at removing rigs and objects from frames, giving the toons much more "control" over the live action elements. Maybe we'd have gotten a bit of 3D CGI snuck in to realise some effects, or even a handful of the toonier animation á la some sequences in the Disney animated features of the time, like the ballroom in Beauty and the Beast or the lionhead and the magic carpet in Aladdin. Maybe they'd have even done some extra R&D on splines, maybe using their research on morphing effects as a basis (PDI used splines rather than individual vertices for the morphing dancers sequence in the Black Or White music video) and created these masks with variable feathering that would be used for the lighting in Klaus several decades early. I love to think about these what-ifs, the first half of the 90s was a real explosion of special effects tech and creativity was all around. There were some absolutely mind-blowing things happening at that time Anyway a Roger Rabbit film released more in the current day I think would probably look really cool if it used some of the techniques and tools developed for Klaus
*If we can at least get new animated shorts like what we got between 1989-1993, I'd be fine with that. *"...as there is no _princess_ in it." Jessica Rabbit can't be _respected_ like a princess in Toontown?? OK, more like a QUEEN... but either way, that's a stupid reason not to make a movie.! Pinocchio, Dumbo, so many of their classic movies did not have a princess and they've gone on to be noted as masterpieces.
I would liked to see a Valiant and Valiant series taking place before the film. See when they were kids going to the circus in 1906, working with LAPD in 1925, and rescuing Donald’s newphews and clearing Spy Charges of Goofy before Eddie’s arm broke and Teddy’s death by the hands of Judge Doom. And see the prequel of Roger Rabbit: Toon Platoon happen some day.
We are lacking the future nostalgia we need a sequel and it featured Eddie valiant’s grandson and it takes place in the 90s and world of computer animation emerges
Here's something to think about: The film was made in 1988 BUT set in 1947, which is 41 years earlier. Now, consider this-if they did that now then that film would be set in 1983. Now what cartoons did they have then? He-Man? Inspector Gadget? The Care Bears even? Fun characters for kids in the 80s perhaps, but none quite as iconic has Mickey, Bugs etc. By 1983 even Hanna-Barbara had gone beyond that stage....
@@mightyfilm You can see the penguins from Mary Poppins in Who Framed Roger Rabbit taking orders for drinks. So that explains why they did that. Like real life actors, they've had work before they were famous. That's pretty interesting.
Tbh, if there ever was a sequel of this movie today, I'd frankly not work. The audience today has changed a lot and many characters would not please the public, ska Jessica rabbit. People would seem the movie innappropriate and cancel it. So they would need to change characters and the movie would likely suck. That is my prediction
It will never happen thou, its all a competition now, not a grassland where we all can skipppy skipper around in circles. Its a sad reality, but its the rules companies made and all agree.
I remember the hype when it came out. My little brother said "We saw Roger Rabbit at school today." Before I could call him out on it, he said "They taped it at the movies". I didn't believe him, but, I thought it was a solid explanation. Teachers are adults who wheel around tv/vcr carts and don't have to follow any rules themselves.
The Eddy & Roger development arc can only be done once, and now Bob Hoskins is dead. There's no way that any prequel or sequel movie could ever be as good or feel consistent with the tone and direction of the original. I mean, I guess Roger could be framed for something else...but honestly this film should just stay "one and done". If they want to do some Roger Rabbit shorts, sure. I just can't imagine them writing a script and getting the same timeless performances in another movie.
I would absolutely love to see a new Roger Rabbit origin movie dealing with his creation, becoming a big animation star & his meeting & marrying Jessica.
Jessica Rabbit is too fanservice-y for the modern age. Also, Roger is canonically related to Thumper (a Disney character), being his nephew. So how would he be the son of Bugs Bunny, a Warner Bros. character?
Since the 50th anniversary celebration of Disney World is currently taking place, it did seem like quite a coincidence for the 25th anniversary reissue of Schindler's List in 2018 to occur right around the time of the MPAA ratings system's 50th anniversary, as I supposedly expected the theaters for that particular reissue to be sardine tins of teens, especially those that have not yet reached the magic number of 17 as of that experience. I was lucky enough to notice that thanks to a history lesson I was lucky enough to learn about during my college education on how the ratings system actually started, because it has easily come under fire by being somehow treated as a set of artificial barriers from core audiences in which certain films most likely deserve to be shown to.
I wonder if this sequel could ever be picked up again by Disney or Warner Bros because they seem to be obsessed with making sequels and remakes of old properties.
They already wasted a co-op when they made Right Now Kapow. I watched the show, and it’s not so special. The designs look amateurish, with the animation not exactly looking “good?” It could’ve been better, and I don’t know why they didn’t get more professional animators on the show. Disney AND Warner Bros have the money, and it just frustrates me a little.
fans of Who Framed Roger Rabbit might really want to look into the recent Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers movie. The world mixes live action and animation in a wonderful way, and yes, Roger makes an appearance. It's much better than you think it's going to be.
Careful! This is one Rabbit Hole you may want to avoid, Friend. The last time an Englishman went poking around... ...he caught 20 years for the cartoon pistol.
If they ever came out with anything new about Roger Rabbit I would NEVER watch the original again! Not in this world now adays when everyone is offended and that crack about there needing to be a princess Stop before you ruin it for the original watchers!
I'd heard that the writer of Who Censored Roger Rabbit hated the movie based on his book, in the way that Roald Dahl hated the Willy Wonka movie. I always figured that he was heavily involved in the sequel not happening. Jessica Rabbit was many a girl's bisexual awakening.
I don't know where you heard that from. From what I understand, quite the opposite. In fact, the sequel novel to Who Censored Roger Rabbit he wrote to be more in line with the film than his own original story.
That wartime sequel sounds like the best idea for a Roger Rabbit sequel ever. Holy crap, not only paying tribute to the 40's golden era of animation in a way even better and more authetic than the one int he original one, but a Captain America-esque period peice on top of that? Sucks that Speilberg had to get such a bug up his ass about not making fun of the Nazi's. I get that Schnindler's List was a difficult subject for him after making it, but his personal bias was imo, making him irrational to the fact that you CAN have two different tones about a historical concept. The only way i'd ever want to see Roger Rabbit come back is this way. Another period piece, another love letter to the golden age of the 40's, another way to mix animation with adult themes, it would have been perfect, if only Speilberg hadn't gotten himself a case of pretentious diarrhea all of a sudden. Also, you don't "agree", with a Hoskin's ghost? Pretty funny statement you got there, considering it REALLY worked amazingly well for Ghostbusters Afterlife. Anyway, of course Eisner doesn't think classic animation doesn't mean anything to him anymore. Gotta love Disney's hypocracy as well. They don't care for Roger Rabbit anymore, and don't see why they should do anything new with him.... yet they'll still keep double dipping the Blu-Ray of the original movie over and over and over again, and plaster him all over that new cringe-looking Rescue Rangers movie to make a buck off of him. An actual sequel? Nah, apparently "nobody wants to see that", but they'll exploit him for anything they DON'T have to put any effort into, today.
I'm sorry but that Roger Rabbit prequel would have been terrible if that would ever had gotten made. Why make a prequel when you can make a sequel. And even the sequel was scrapped.

I honestly think Roger Rabbit is better off staying a stand alone movie so many good movies have had awful sequels.
I agree. This is just one of those films that's works better as a stand alone.
Add to the fact that Bob Hoskins has sadly passed away I don’t see a sequel working without him now

I was lucky enough to notice that thanks to a history lesson I was lucky enough to learn about during my college education on how the ratings system actually started, because it has easily come under fire by being somehow treated as a set of artificial barriers from core audiences in which certain films most likely deserve to be shown to.
Holy shit this plot is insane. I don't think it needed to be created, but I kinda wish it was.
it became rescue rangers 2022, thats what happened to the sequel
I literally watched this movie last night wtf is my phone actively listening to me 😅
I would love to see a video on other unmade Spielberg projects.
I wonder if this sequel could ever be picked up again by Disney or Warner Bros because they seem to be obsessed with making sequels and remakes of old properties.
oh god no, they will fuck it up
They already wasted a co-op when they made Right Now Kapow. I watched the show, and it’s not so special. The designs look amateurish, with the animation not exactly looking “good?” It could’ve been better, and I don’t know why they didn’t get more professional animators on the show. Disney AND Warner Bros have the money, and it just frustrates me a little.
you might saying we are in a hare's breath of getting toon platoon off the ground
fans of Who Framed Roger Rabbit might really want to look into the recent Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers movie. The world mixes live action and animation in a wonderful way, and yes, Roger makes an appearance. It's much better than you think it's going to be.
For some reason, I would like to see Charles Barkley play the role a the hot headed detective. He would be a natural!
So they arent making it? Google says its getting released in September 2022.. Is that not the case?
Depends what “source” you got that from
Having Bugs Bunny Be Rogers father sounds like something from a cringey fanfiction.
Careful! This is one Rabbit Hole you may want to avoid, Friend.
The last time an Englishman went poking around...
...he caught 20 years for the cartoon pistol.
People should read or listen to the books ;)
If they ever came out with anything new about Roger Rabbit I would NEVER watch the original again! Not in this world now adays when everyone is offended and that crack about there needing to be a princess Stop before you ruin it for the original watchers!
I at least wished they'd made some more shorts... ☹
it is filming RIGHT NOW in ABQ.
I'd heard that the writer of Who Censored Roger Rabbit hated the movie based on his book, in the way that Roald Dahl hated the Willy Wonka movie. I always figured that he was heavily involved in the sequel not happening.
Jessica Rabbit was many a girl's bisexual awakening.
I don't know where you heard that from. From what I understand, quite the opposite. In fact, the sequel novel to Who Censored Roger Rabbit he wrote to be more in line with the film than his own original story.
Who framed the Roger rabbit 2 need Roger rabbit use star dizzy in cartoon Roger cookin in September 14,2023.
And let’s not forget that I’m Disney made a huge error by releasing a Jessica rabbit nurse pin for national nurses day what the F were they thinking
They decided that a WWII setting wasn't right anymore and then gave the budget to a WWII movie.
I know I can hardly wait!
I think that either a (PG-13)Rated cartoon series, or a (R)rated cartoon show series of (ROGER RABBIT) should get made someday.
*an
5:30 what movie?
4:06
5:17
Despite not being created until 1949
I wanna know what happened to Dumbo 2

No it needs a sequel because it makes money
Trust me disney will come back to roger rabbit eventually. And they will ruin it.
also Spielberg would come back to doing Nazi's again for 'Saving Private Ryan' in 1998
Do you have any plans on discussing the Looney Tunes?
come on, WORLD WAR without Popeye the Sailor Man
needs to be roger rabbit 2 made
That wartime sequel sounds like the best idea for a Roger Rabbit sequel ever. Holy crap, not only paying tribute to the 40's golden era of animation in a way even better and more authetic than the one int he original one, but a Captain America-esque period peice on top of that? Sucks that Speilberg had to get such a bug up his ass about not making fun of the Nazi's. I get that Schnindler's List was a difficult subject for him after making it, but his personal bias was imo, making him irrational to the fact that you CAN have two different tones about a historical concept. The only way i'd ever want to see Roger Rabbit come back is this way. Another period piece, another love letter to the golden age of the 40's, another way to mix animation with adult themes, it would have been perfect, if only Speilberg hadn't gotten himself a case of pretentious diarrhea all of a sudden.
Also, you don't "agree", with a Hoskin's ghost? Pretty funny statement you got there, considering it REALLY worked amazingly well for Ghostbusters Afterlife.
Anyway, of course Eisner doesn't think classic animation doesn't mean anything to him anymore. Gotta love Disney's hypocracy as well. They don't care for Roger Rabbit anymore, and don't see why they should do anything new with him.... yet they'll still keep double dipping the Blu-Ray of the original movie over and over and over again, and plaster him all over that new cringe-looking Rescue Rangers movie to make a buck off of him. An actual sequel? Nah, apparently "nobody wants to see that", but they'll exploit him for anything they DON'T have to put any effort into, today.
I'm sorry but that Roger Rabbit prequel would have been terrible if that would ever had gotten made. Why make a prequel when you can make a sequel. And even the sequel was scrapped.
No f'n way are we seeing Jessica Rabbit in a movie today. The meeee2 whiners would start a riot
Adverts halfway through a video are a big greedy no no.
Curious, who (woman) did the voiceover at the end?
"Deeper". Not "more deeper". Just "deeper". Musical question: "Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?"
Jessica, my first crush and many other peoples as well
......i'm glad they didn't make this movie.
Man I’m glad they didn’t make this trash script into a movie.
Exactly like "roger rides on the missile and flies away" like tf
Hey maybe could you make a frosty the snowman deleted scenes
Strange that in the book, Jessica Rabbit works in.. er.. "adult" cartoons.
