What has kept a sequel of this beloved 1980s movie from ever becoming a reality? We break down the troubled legacy of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit.'
Released in 1988, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? became a massive enough box office hit to become one of the biggest movies of the 1980s. It was a perfect storm of influences, mining nostalgia for classic cartoons with groundbreaking visual effects techniques to create truly unprecedented entertainment.
However, this sequel found itself tripped up due to complaints from producer Steven Spielberg. In a post-Jaws world, Spielberg has had enormous clout on any movie he attaches himself to, even if it’s only in an executive producer capacity. But he was especially influential on the original Roger Rabbit, with this filmmaker getting extensive ownership and creative control on the project.
However, further problems came about when it was decided by Disney brass that this new Roger Rabbit prequel would differentiate itself from its predecessor by having the cartoon characters realized through computer animation rather than hand-drawn means. This was a big shift for Who Discovered Roger Rabbit? not least because it would necessitate finding out if these characters could work as well in three dimensions.
However, nothing emerged in the immediate wake of these comments, though producer Frank Marshall did say in August 2012 that a screenplay was almost finished and that, much like The Toon Platoon or Discovered, this new production would be a prequel. By 2016, though, Zemeckis was considerably less hopeful about the chances of this sequel going forward.
