I for one am very excited about the thought. I absolutely love Roger Rabbit. I have to admit a bit of me is nervous though. Sometimes its better to not have a sequel...

Hard to know how many people would look forward to this, excluding these boards and Zemeckis himself. The novelty is out the window because so many movies these days combine animation with live actors.

Just watched it again last week and it's still great, BUT it's complete. No sequel needed. "Sequels? We don't need no stinking sequels!"

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA The original 'Roger Rabbit' is very cool -- all those characters on the screen together -- Mickey and Bugs -- but is flawed in some ways. First, I wish Roger hadn't been a COMPLETE idiot. I understand the wide-eyed innocence, and that he wants to make people laugh -- but even when Judge Doom enters the cafe, and his life is in severe danger, he can't shut his mouth??? So annoying. Second, I always thought that the plot is a bit convoluted -- with RK Toon, and Judge Doom, all the goings-on, I don't know maybe I'm just an idiot. That said, the really COOL thing about the movie was that all that animation was hand-drawn. That opening sequence with Roger and Baby Herman is still funny. And the animation is breath-taking!
