That's obviously a joke. I hope you realized that.

According to Animated Views, it's genuine.

No, it's not. Animated Views simply reported this rather idiotic prank. They did not comment on its validity.

Yeah, I'm not buying this.

I'm surprised that so many websites and blogs are reporting this as news. Anyone with half a brain could see through that in a New York minute.

Especially the obviously fake 'image/poster' of Mickey and Roger together.

Zemeckis let it slip that Disney is not getting back into this. Unless they decide to move forward behind his back. But I doubt that.

... What a pity.

If only it WERE real.

Ok, just found an update:

http://toontownantics.blogspot.com/2013 ... r-all.html

"A person who is closer to Gary Wolf than me (who wants to remain anonymous) told me those news are, in fact, real. “The Stooge” is an actual in-development project, which is being discussed with Disney and Pixar at this moment. That doesn’t mean it’s going to be greenlighted, but there’s a slight chance they pull the trigger and give “The Stooge” a try."

This IS intriguing, but I'm not convinced yet.

There’s been some question about the story’s veracity. My fault. I posted this on my blog under the pseudonym Walter Windchill, the gossip columnist character I created and use to disseminate fake news from Toontown. I use Walter and his gossipy tidbits to promote my forthcoming Roger Rabbit novel, Who Wacked Roger Rabbit? Real news I usually blog under my own name. In this case, I simply forgot to change over.

Here’s the true scoop, straight from the rabbit’s mouth.

The Stooge is a real development proposal for a Disney/Pixar movie. It has the same title as the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis film and some of the same plot elements, but it’s not a remake. The storyline in this Stooge is quite different.

This movie, which will be all animated, has nothing to do with the sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. They are totally different concepts and projects. It’s not a case of making one instead of the other. In an ideal, rabbit-centric world, Disney will make both.

The Stooge development producer Erik von Wodtke came up with the story and wrote the treatment. He showed it to me hoping that I would see how special it was and would be interested in coming in on the project. With that, he did succeed. I love the idea of a Mickey Mouse and Roger Rabbit musical buddy comedy. This is a co-star pairing made in cartoon heaven. Two iconic cartoon characters playing off one another in a story that has the heart and emotional soul of films like Wall-E and Toy Story. What Disney fan wouldn’t want to see that?

It’s a big year for Roger Rabbit. It’s the 25th anniversary of the film. Disney is releasing a commemorative Blu-ray edition in March. My third Roger Rabbit novel, Who Wacked Roger Rabbit?, comes out in November.

All of which gets two big thumbs up from me, two ears up from Roger, and two….well let’s just say that Jessica’s up for it, too.

Art director Doug A Sirois has been working on Stooge concept art. What I’ve seen so far is sensational. I will be involved in the project in a writing and creative capacity. Erik is currently talking to a number of top-flight screenwriters and directors. Watch my blog. I’ll keep fans posted on Stooge developments. From now on under my own name, not Walter’s.

Huh. Well color me impressed!

If this goes through, it won't mark the return of Roger Rabbit, but might possibly mark the debut feature length film of Mickey Mouse (who turns 85 this year) from Disney Animation.

I'll give this a shot.

Q: You mentioned just there your work on Roger Rabbit, have you heard anything about the proposed sequel?

Don Hahn: Yeah, we’ve talked about a sequel for about 25 years, the academy are actually doing a 25 year celebration this year if you can believe its been that long, there’s always discussions about a sequel but there’s no news about it really, I think people have been very generous about that movie and really have loved it and it all points to Rob Zemeckis and when he’s ready to do it I think it’ll happen.

So is this really legit?

There was this quote earlier:

"The Stooge is a real development proposal for a Disney/Pixar movie. "

I cannot see Pixar being the ones to do this. Or were the words Disney/Pixar just a reference to Disney the company instead of specifically Pixar Animation Studios. You'd think that someone so closely connected would know to use the correct nomenclature.

I think it would be nice if this does happen because it would breath some new life into hand drawn through these established characters.

But it sounds sooo fanboy-ish. I doubt this is happening. Feature-length Mickey projects usually reach a storyboard stage at Disney and then management chickens out for some reason. It's nice that whoever is working on it is deluding himself into thinking it's actually going to happen and is therefore blogging about it, but he should just quit while he's ahead.

This isn't related to the sequel but I suggest anyone near Beverly Hills attend this

Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ Anniversary Reunion to be Held April 4 in Beverly Hills

http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-who ... lls-61194/

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present a new digital restoration of Who Framed Roger Rabbit in celebration of the film’s 25th anniversary on Thursday, April 4, at 7:30 pm at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The evening will feature a post-screening onstage discussion with director Robert Zemeckis and members of the cast and crew, including actress Joanna Cassidy, voice actor Charles Fleischer, supervising animator Andreas Deja, screenwriter Peter S. Seaman and associate producers Don Hahn and Steve Starkey. The panel will be moderated by director Rich Moore, who received an Oscar® nomination for Animated Feature Film for Wreck-It Ralph this past year.

A masterful blend of live-action filmmaking and classic animation, Who Framed Roger Rabbit boldly announced the rebirth of the Disney animation studio. The film endures as an inventive tribute to animation’s golden age that also set a new standard for what the medium could achieve.

“Roger Rabbit brought together the greatest animators, the most skilled technicians, and the finest talent of the day,” said Zemeckis. “It’s good to have this chance to show our work to both those who remember the film as well as to a new audience.”

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) received Oscars® for Film Editing, Sound Effects Editing and Visual Effects, and a Special Achievement Award for Richard Williams’s animation direction. It also was nominated for Art Direction, Cinematography and Sound.

This digital restoration is provided courtesy of the Walt Disney Studios. The Disney restoration team used the original 35mm picture, VistaVision optical work and original sound elements to create this pristine digital version.

Tickets for Who Framed Roger Rabbit are $5 for the general public and $3 for Academy members and students with a valid ID, and may be purchased online at oscars.org, in person at the Academy box office, or by mail. The Samuel Goldwyn Theater is located at 8949 Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. Doors open at 6:30 pm. All seating is unreserved. For more information, call (310) 247-3600 or visit oscars.org.

It looks like I really missed a lot while I was gone. I would have liked to see a sequal to Roger Rabbit, it really was a good movie, and a real achievement in it's day technologically speaking! But it looks like the plans for it haven't been approved!

Is it going to be hand drawn or CGI?

If they were to make a true sequel I would say a mix of both.

If you mean this idea of Roger Rabbit and Mickey Mouse Pixar film I'm going to lean towards CGI. I think they should take Roger Rabbit out of this idea and put Oswald in. It's not that I don't like Roger it just seems to fit more. Although this movie with Roger Rabbit and Mickey Mouse could be a DTV in the likes of Planes.
