The Roger Rabbit shorts are some of the best short animations of the post-Golden Age era. I wish this was completed and released. At least there might be a sequel to the film.Source: http://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/an ... dotes-246/In the Boston-Herald newspaper June 23, 1989, Disney producer Don Hahn said, “All of us had knocked around the idea of doing another (Roger Rabbit) short because the other one (at the beginning of the feature film) had been received so well. I came up with a list of about twenty ideas last fall, most of which could be described in one sentence. Then in December we did three up on storyboards. We pitched those to Steven (Spielberg) and Jeffrey Katzenberg and we went away with the idea that Tummy Trouble would be the first.
“That it was going out with Honey I Shrunk the Kids was determined pretty early on. It really wasn’t appropriate to go out with Dead Poet’s Society or something like that. The idea of having them appear at the end in a live action setting like the first one was driven by the Disney Company that wanted it inextricably linked to the first one. The whole idea of the ending was to keep alive the conceptual twist on the characters that the first film had. Just to remind everybody that they exist in that world. (Producer Frank Marshall directed the live-action ending.)
“Other shorts like Roller Coaster Rabbit, Hare in My Soup and Clean and Oppressed are also under consideration. We’re trying to see if we can develop a Tom and Jerry-like group of characters that could exist in a cartoon series. There has to be something that was similar or familiar for an audience going to see them again. If we took the characters completely out of 1948 and out of that genre of movie, I think it would be a little too jarring.”
Thanks for posting. I would have loved to see a Roger Rabbit animated series in the vein of Tom and Jerry.Sotiris wrote:Evidently, there was going to be a fifth Roger Rabbit short called "Clean and Oppressed" but was cancelled along with "Hare in My Soup".

Interesting. As far as I can see, this is not mentioned included on the Wikipedia list yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_u ... ture_filmsSotiris wrote: Evidently, there was going to be a fifth Roger Rabbit short called "Clean and Oppressed" but was cancelled along with "Hare in My Soup".

They fully storyboarded a short called “Baby Buggy Blunder” that was never produced where Baby Herman’s stroller gets away from Roger while out in the city.
