We need a Michigan J Frog movie

Funnily enough, I started Roger Rabbit a few weeks ago and thought it would never be made today. Not because of Jessica, but because a) sharing the screen with WB characters and b) I really don't think they'd put the attention to detail and money into it the way they did the first time

Yep. They would never put that amount of work into the craft and detail of a movie today.

I saw Here last night and phewwwwww it is a BAD script. Cool idea, but everyone talks & acts like a bad high school play. The effects are interesting, but I just couldn't enjoy anything else.

I mean the cigar-smoking baby literally smiles and shoves a finger up a woman's dress in the opening scene. There's a lot more going on in that movie than just a sexy cartoon. I think Disney (now) would lean it way goofier and silly when the original was actually pretty dark and serious. I still think that shoe going into the dip had some sort of permanent affect on me.

a movie about disney not liking how she dresses isn't interesting and wouldn't push the original further, imo

[my pitch][sorry i got going and this turned into a whole thing]roger and jessica's grandkid (live action actor with special effects like alita: battle angel) grew up knowing they were the descendant of the disgraced and reviled roger rabbit. one day through circumstances they learn that the story the public knows, how roger and jessica became rich and complacent villains since the last time we saw them, is not the truth. they start to dig into the real history of roger and jessica's legacy but keep coming up on dead ends. either the information isn't on the internet, the companies in question don't exist anymore, or the toon characters who might have answers haven't been seen in over forty years

If I was a millionaire I'd fund this. Instantly.
