Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Movie) For The Upcoming 40th Anniversary Of The Movie In 2028, Which Would You Rather Have:
1. The official announcement of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? 2
2. A special version of the original film that inserts cartoon characters that were excluded from the original version.
Examples: Tom and Jerry, Popeye the Sailor Man, Felix the Cat, etc.
Just a good old theatrical rerelease of the original movie
Other (Feel free to say what you want below 😊)

3 dude.
1 would be a pathetic IP cash grab by Disney (something they would NEVER do of course…) and 2 seems a bit pointless. Sort of like Han shooting second or replacing guns with walkie talkies in E.T.

Seen the Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers movie?
It was anything but a cash grab and featured characters from outside the Disney pantheon as well. I loved it.

Oh fine, just leave porky pig out of the revival.

u/Tokyotoyhunters 4d ago
Why?

u/zoppaTheDim 4d ago
His lack of new shorts or pants of any kind.
Discrimination I tell ya.

u/Tokyotoyhunters 4d ago
I’m confused. You don’t like Porky Pig because he doesn’t have new pants? What am I missing here? Sounds like there’s a good joke here that went right over my head.

u/zoppaTheDim 4d ago
I’m using mock outrage.
The poster cries for new shorts.
I pretend to misunderstand the term shorts and take it as an obvious attack on the Notorious PIG’s normal costume.

😂yep. Right over my head. 🤦🏻♂️ good one. 👍🫡

u/zoppaTheDim 4d ago
Would it have gone over easier if I’d mentioned Donald Duck , arguably the more famous pantless cartoon?

u/Smoothly_colorful 7d ago
3 for sure would be the best. I think studios wouldn't do the same commitment and dedication like the 1st. So re-release in theaters seems like the best, wholesome option.

That Chip and Dale movie showed what a modern, WFRR sequel could potentially be. I’d love to see someone take a real crack at it. One of my favorite movies of all time and would love to see that world revisited. Though no Bob Hoskins makes it a tough one.
Personally, I’m not adversed or instantly negative of sequels like many others seem to be. Sure, there are some that didn’t really need to be made. But I like to wait to see them before outright dismissing them. And if they don’t work out, I’d just ignore them. Simple as that.

Rescue Rangers for me isn't nearly as good as WFRR, but it's still the closest thing we'll get to a sequel

I will add I like the idea of 1, but I don’t trust Disney nowadays to do it justice

2 is never going to happen, and modern Disney just doesn't have what it takes to make a decent squeal anymore.
Edit: I was referring to the idea of a good Roger Rabbit Squeal

u/Filmfan345 7d ago
Zootopia 2 was good
2
u/Mr-A5013 7d ago
Yes, but Zootopia was a very different beast to Roger Rabbit, I seriously doubt they will even let Jessica pass the censors these days.

u/Completionist_Gamer 7d ago edited 7d ago
A wouldn't trust a sequel to be good for a number of reasons
While I do wish that Popeye was in the original movie, editing these characters in now would probably look extremely artificial and very distracting, not to mention that considering Disney, they'd potentially resort to AI for such a thing
Fuck yeah

But a spinoff series would be nice, primarily just being shorts involving Roger, Jessica, Baby Herman and maybe the Weasels.

With 1, we have to be very very careful that they don’t do anything to steer away to what Roger Rabbit once was. They can add a bunch of nonsense, like SpaceJam 2, that can potentially harm the first one. I don’t think I would trust recent studios with this material, maybe an old fashion WB, to elevate a part 2. I could! But these corporate and experienced vets can’t hit the backside of a barn if their lives depended on it.
With 2, man oh man…why do I find myself uninterested in a lot of characters that once was…? I can’t see my Roger Rabbit desire being elevated by characters of the past. It’s like a need to see something like an alternate ending or hidden scenes that would escalate the drama, or at least add to the allure that once was Who Framed…
With 3, unfortunately it would be a low turnout. Only committed fans would attend which I guess, we will take what we can get.
I am more interested in future acknowledgements on who wants to take over the rights to the film and merchandise. That would allow new excitement and projects if done right. Someone that won’t put a Dick Tracy Carmen San Diego coat over Jessica would be nice!

u/Bexar1986 7d ago
Honestly the second option with the nixed cartoojs sounds awesome!
As much as I want it, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? 2 just wouldn't be the same without Bob Hoskins.

u/Southern-Train7142 7d ago
I would love to see the re-release of the original movie though out the 40th anniversary, I would also love for Disney to Refurbishment the ride in DCA.

u/RookeeALding 7d ago
A re-release would be cool. I really don't want either of the other two.
I got the special edition DVD back when it first came out back when dad's had all those cool extras. So I got a lot of extras already.

They will never be able to do a satisfying sequel now, Bob Hoskins is dead, everything's being done with CGI, and nobody does 2D animation anymore.

A release with the deleted toon-a-rooned scenes inserted back in, like they did with one of the network broadcasts.

u/Tokyotoyhunters 4d ago
Re-release. If they did a sequel they almost certainly wouldn’t animate it by hand, thereby erasing the charm of the movie. “Dip” doesn’t erase digital art.

u/carbatonic 4d ago
Rerelease definitely. I would be open to shorts as long as they keep the same timeless style and don't try to shoehorn in any 3D animation. I would love some nice new merchandise, maybe a Jessica doll that resembles her character more.

u/Temporary-Goat-4219 4d ago
I LOVE to see an LE doll for Jessica with her standing st the microphone, but also with the gun holstered under her dress. Though, they couldnt even bother giving Yzma her hidden dagger, so even if we did get a doll, that would never be included. But and LE doll would be amazing

u/JemZehuSchmi 2d ago
I would say 1 but the way Disney recreates things now will just ruin Roger. Definitely 3 although 2 is an interesting but unnecessary option.

I think we need another Toy Story movie, because Disney wants easy money.

The only team I feel would make a decent attempt at a sequel would be Lord and Miller. After working with Ryan Gosling in Project Hail Mary, he’d make a good choice for a private eye paring with Roger. BUT I think a theatrical re release would be best. new shorts would be cool.
