Who Framed Roger Rabbit Discussion

[DisneyFan09]

Roger definitely needs a comeback (with Bonkers alongside with him).

Oh Bonkers definitively needs a comeback! And in hand-drawn, not only in CGI.

I wouldn't mind a Roger Rabbit comeback either.

Here's more from that TV special:

Wow that was sooo cool

[TsWade2]

God, I miss Roger Rabbit when he used to be popular. But at least I saw Roger Rabbit at Disneyland not too long ago.

[HarryCanyon]

Maybe they should bring back Roger in the Mickey shorts and maybe in Kingdom Hearts 3

That's what always hope for each and every day (that and The Stooge to be greenlit).

There almost was a Roger Rabbit comic strip:

How about in Kingdom Hearts 3?

Sorry for not brining this up sooner, but apparently,we could be seeing a 30th anniversary edition of Who Framed Roger Rabbit soon... and through Disney this time (not Touchstone)!:

Oh that sounds great. I didn't buy the 25th anniversary blu-ray and I was peeved that it wasn't included on DMA.

I came across this vintage newspaper ad and thought I'd share. The composition reminded me of the Lilo & Stitch poster. I wonder if this ad was an inspiration for it or if it was just a coincidence.

I've never seen that poster before but I love it! Thanks for posting! I'd love if the 30th anniversary Blu-Ray could have a cover like this.

[Disney Duster]

Great find! I bet it's a coinicidence. But yea that would be a great Blu-ray cover! I love that poster and I'm amazed the film was the most acclaimed film that year!

[Elladorine]

I remember these ads! I also remember they sparked controversy; some felt the film was too "adult" to have Disney [and other] characters prominently featured in the newspaper advertising (regardless of their actual appearance in it) because they felt it was leading too many parents to believe it was child-friendly entertainment.

I find it amusing they used a different model for Jessica specifically for these ads, she's definitely "cuter." Coincidentally, they also used yet another model for Jessica for the child-specific merchandise (i.e. coloring books); not as "cute," but not as well-endowed.

Funny you should say that...

I forgot that somebody on there was talking about prepping work for a poster of the film that he hopes will be used as the new cover.

[Disney's Divinity]

The poster does remind me a lot of L&S. I wouldn't doubt if there was a connection there, but who knows.

[unprincess]

wait, so this version:
https://www.amazon.com/Who-Framed-Roger ... 084&sr=1-2

is pan and scan?

this is the version I have but I havent seen it in a long time, if its really pan/scan, well that sucks for me. I love the movie but Ive never really had any interest in owning a blu-ray version.

EDIT: oh nevermind. I was reading the back cover on Amazon and actually it includes both p/s and widescreen versions. The p/s is the first disc.

[Sotiris]

This is from an 1989 commercial for the Warner Bros. collection catalog.

[unprincess]

hah neat!

that reminds me of the ads for some car that they made around the time when WFRR came out using Disney characters in that same "animated characters in a live action world" style they used for the movie. I remember one had the Fantasia brooms and another one I think had the hippo, and one had the Fairy Godmother.
