![]() ![]() This version of the project went nowhere, though it did serve as a sizable indicator that there was serious interest in getting this project done.įrom here, a more concrete vision of a Roger Rabbit sequel emerged entitled Roger Rabbit: The Toon Platoon. Abrams was asked by Steven Spielberg to provide an outline for a potential Roger Rabbit sequel. In one of his first jobs in Tinseltown, J.J. With the project becoming a box office sensation and one of the biggest Disney titles ever up to that point, it made sense for movement to begin on a sequel. The first rumblings of a Roger Rabbit sequel emerged almost immediately after the first film hit theaters in 1988. The notion of following Roger Rabbit and company on more adventures eventually turned into one of the more relentlessly tormented unmade follow-ups in the history of Hollywood. For years, there were talks of some kind of extension of that original feature. Roger Rabbit wasn’t always meant to vanish after his hit movie, though. Instead, it sits largely gathering dust on a shelf at Walt Disney Pictures. Given that every scrap of 1980s media has been mined for nostalgia, not to mention how Disney is obsessed with remaking every vaguely recognizable title in its library, one would imagine that Who Framed Roger Rabbit would be experiencing a pop culture resurgence right now. ![]() ![]() It was a perfect storm of influences, mining nostalgia for classic cartoons with groundbreaking visual effects techniques to create truly unprecedented entertainment. He is the first weasel to die after losing control of his laughter.Released in 1988, Who Framed Roger Rabbit became a massive enough box office hit to become one of the biggest movies of the 1980s. He has a pigeon-toed stance, and his weapon of choice is a spiked bat. He wears a horizontally striped blue and white t-shirt, a red beanie with a propeller on top, and white tennis shoes that are constantly untied. He was the second weasel to die after losing control of his laughter even when he tried to pull his spirit back. His weapon of choice is a 1940's tommy gun. He is dressed in a wrinkled dress shirt, black vest, greyish-white bowler cap littered with cigars and cigarettes, loose black tie, and has long, nicotine stained fingernails. Unlike his compatriots, who all have brown fur, his fur is blue. However, even in death he proves to be dangerous as his ascending spirit pulls a lever on the Dip Machine, making the dip stream change it's course and home in on the tied-up Roger and Jessica. He is the last weasel to die as a result of laughing to the point of losing his footing, and falls into the giant rotating brush of the Dip Machine. His weapon of choice is a barbershop straight razor. Psycho wears an unbuckled "Canadian Long Jacket" straitjacket, has an unnaturally white muzzle, blue eyes with yellow and white swirls characterizing his insanity, and unkempt fur by the hairline, giving it a spiky appearance. He has a shrilling laugh and high-pitched voice. * Psycho is the most mentally unstable of the group of weasels. He is the fourth weasel to die after losing control of his laughter, and drops dead out of the cab of the Dip Machine. He is mostly shown speaking English with a strong Spanish accent, but he curses in Spanish when Roger shoots into the Acme Factory via storm drain, propelling Greasy and himself up towards the ceiling, and when he springs a bear trap in the top of Jessica Rabbit's dress. He wears a green zoot suit styled trench coat and trousers hiked up all the way to his chest, a partially obscured pink tie and white dress shirt, as well as a tall green zoot hat and spectator shoes. * Greasy is Puerto-Rican, and has long greasy black hair and dark brown fur. Smart Ass dies when Eddie kicks him in the groin, sending him flying into the vat of dip. He is third weasel to die, but unlike the others weasels, prolonged laughter was not the cause for his demise. Smart Ass proves to be the most disciplined of the weasels, as he has more control over his laughter and tries his best to get his cohorts to follow suit. He commits a malapropism almost every time he speaks, such as when he says that a tip on Roger's whereabouts has been "corrugated" (corroborated) by several sources. His weapon of choice is a revolver, though in the bar scene he is shown threatening Eddie Valiant with a switchblade. He has brown fur and wears a light pink double breasted zoot suit coat with a gold chain in the left pocket, a white dress shirt with a reddish pink, bedjewelled tie, a light pink zoot hat and a darker pink rimband and spats on his feet. * Smart Ass is the leader of the weasels, and ranked a sergeant by Judge Doom. ![]()
