Roger Rabbit needs to make a comeback. He was always one of my favorite cartoon characters, even though so little exists of him. He's just so colorful, and as a kid that was what I liked about him.

@Sideeye29 4 года назад

211of211 He is Not forgotten he is in our hearts plus you can still watch him

@marcolopez3174 6 лет назад

He became a forgotten cartoon! The irony

@CaptainViral84 5 лет назад

In simple terms five years of Roger Rabbit people just got tired of the same old thing and the morale of the story is never invest in fads

@danbam3411 4 года назад

CaptainViral84 and all fairness, that logic would apply to Tom and Jerry as well yet they’re still highly successful. I think it’s just political correctness and management at Disney that made him become much more obscure that he could’ve been. Especially during the Bob Iger era... perhaps the worst era for Disney.

@DunkleCobro 4 года назад

Well, Car-Toon Spin is still around, ain't it?

@Sideeye29 4 года назад

No he is not forgotten his cartoon just ended *plus I am a 7 year old who watches old Mickey Mouse don’t blame me*. It’s funny though

@ZigealFaust 3 года назад

@@morgothfromangband6082 Nah, don't be like that. I mean I DO like Freiza more but because of his character arc and lore. Mickey is still a good char, but he's like.... um... SUPERMAN. As in there are many many more better written, designed, and deep chars than him in his own universe. The best we get is how he acts in Kingdom Hearts 2 and I don't think they will ever make a better version than that sadly.

@antifagoat6591 6 лет назад

Aw. That ending clip makes me sad.

@mayflower7811 6 лет назад

IKR he was wondering what happened to his fans poor Rodger

@sewthernbelle 6 лет назад

Actually a big reason Roger Rabbit wasn't marketed anymore was Warner Brothers sued Disney after they allowed them to use their characters but then Disney was making bank on all the merchandising on Roger Rabbit.

@lucapeyrefitte6899 6 лет назад

Travelbound that makes allot of sense

@betelman 6 лет назад

There may be some kind of rabbit revival. When asked about future movies , merchandise, and even possible video games, Gary Wolfe, the writer of the original stories, has been answering with a cheerfull "Stay tooned!". He knows something is gonna happen but won't reveal the big surprise.

@mattkennedy3474 6 лет назад

betelman he may want something to happen but these studios are just big businesses unless the suits think it’s a good idea and they receive a return on their investment then the idea will stay on the “merry-go-round” indefinitely.

@betelman 6 лет назад

I'll stay on the positive.

@sonicroachdoggjrraven3263 6 лет назад

I would love to have anything.

@user-pz6nw5vm4f 6 лет назад

Disney also doesn't completely own the rights to the character still so having him in the park gets pretty tricky.

@mayflower7811 6 лет назад

Exactly WB's owns half the rights to who framed Rodger Rabbit it fact after the lawsuit was settled Disney wasn't allowed to even syndicate the movie on their networks. Which is why who framed Rodger Rabbit was never showed on Disney Channel or ABC's wonderful world of Disney

@ChicagoMel23 3 года назад

It’s on Disney+ though

@snarkus63 6 лет назад

I'm surprised there isn't a Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin at WDW...it would work either at the Studio park or Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom. They don't have to build a whole "land" around it.

@lady8rage 6 лет назад

It's seen as a perfect fit for Toontown because of character, stylistic choices, etc-- too bright and corny for Fantasyland (even Winnie the Pooh isn't this out there) and too much ride for Hollywood Studios (and yes that is shade, I'm bitter). We don't have Toontown anymore, so it's not really a thing for us.

@nataliemoraes2033 6 лет назад

The ride sucks. It goes incredibly slow.

@pika23 6 лет назад

Toon town is literally where Roger lives in the movie! Ofc he has a ride there.

@jtstacey83 6 лет назад

Eisner freaked at the budget over runs at the time. Also, Katzenberg got a percentage of the films profit over the life time of the film as well. When he left Disney he ended up suing Disney for $250 million or 2% profits from films he approved during his time at Disney. Katzenberg settled for just over $100 million in 1990's dollars. Katzenburg green lighted nearly every Disney renaissance film. Examples such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, and Aladdin to name a few.

@Larry 6 лет назад

Wasn't there also a prequel to Roger Rabbit being planned, but was canned so the budget could go to Pearl Harbor's over expanding budget?

@BadWebDiver 6 лет назад

Hi Larry, great to see another fun pop trivia RU-vidr here! Your retro game commentaries are superb!

@SirBlackReeds 6 лет назад

Yes and no. The sequel turned into a prequel and it was canned. The reason however amounts to two things: the mix of live-action and cartoony CGI was not very pleasing and the estimated budget would exceed $100 million. As of now, the furthest development is that the film is a sequel and is merely in the works.

@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514 6 лет назад

Larry Bundy Jr You partly heard right. There certainly was a prequel but it was actually cancelled due to the directors disagreement and the voice actor being sick.

@betelman 6 лет назад

Yep, definitely a prequel. Got a copy of the working title"Toon Platoon" script. Some funny stuff! It even had a cameo for Eddie Valiant.

2 days ago (as of the time I commented this) I got the Hungarian Rhapsody stuck in my head. I played this video and now it's even more inside my head

@alskndlaskndal 6 лет назад

Probably a good thing it never happened. To base an entire land around one recent movie is a huge gamble, and in this case the public lost interest pretty quickly (although I still love the movie). A side note, it's hard to imagine there was a time when a movie like Rain Man could be the number one move in the year. A character-driven light drama with no special effects, no superheroes, no battle scenes...

@TomTheyy 6 лет назад

*Cough* Avatar *Cough*

@Max1dollar 6 лет назад

Isn't that what they're doing with Star Wars land? Sure Star Wars has been around for a long time but the land won't be based on the Original Star Wars we've come to know and love, they'll base the land on the the new movies that only inbreds love. Seems like a gamble to me, especially because "the last jedi" literally had a petition to remove it from canon...

@alskndlaskndal 6 лет назад

True it's not based on any world seen in the original three, but I think there's enough continuity to appeal to all fans (e.g., Millennium Falcon, droids). Star Wars has been mega-popular for 40 years, I think it's a safe bet!

@JJdaPK 6 лет назад

Part of the reason the public lost interest quickly though is that Disney pretty much stopped promoting Roger Rabbit after the early 90s.

@justimagine2403 6 лет назад

And Guardians of the Galaxy... and Frozen. It won't be long before we will want to Let it Go.

Ya know having a Blast From the Past section of Disneyland/World wouldn't be a bad idea. Roger Rabbit, Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar, Black Cauldron, and some of Disney's old live action movies. It would give the adults a real trip down memory lane and show the kids it's not all about Frozen or Cars.

@michaeltaylor9977 6 лет назад

The "nature" of the entertainment beast. It's based on If the box office of the "sequel" that will dictate If a multi million dollar attraction will pan out and survive for years. Public reception is also a key factor. Atlantis was a "bust" so Submarine Voyage with Finding Nemo, subsequently became the theme in which to bring the attraction back.

@Phantomwise2 6 лет назад

Walt Disney World did not get a Mickey's Toontown and it's inaccurate to phrase it as though they got it first before Disneyland. They opened Mickey's Birthdayland in 1988 as a temporary area with only Mickey's house, fake facades, and circus tents (photos: d23.com/unwrapping-mickeys-birthdayland/). Interestingly, they had a sign calling it Duckberg, even though it had Mickey's house. Visiting Mickey's house and having a permanent area to meet him became very popular guests that it inspired the concept of Mickey's Toontown. After Disneyland's Toontown opened in 1993, Walt Disney World remodeled and renamed this area "Mickey's Toontown Fair" in 1996. The reason why they added "Fair" was because, even after the remodel, it was not as well-themed as the one in Toontown. They could have extensively remodeled to be the same, but they chose not to. To say it was the first Toontown is like trying to pass a prototype off as a finished product. Also, from my understanding, the original place to put Hollywoodland at Disneyland was the area behind Main Street and Space Mountain. At least, that's where they said it would be in the Disney Decade announcement.

Considering it was a co-partniership between Disney and MGM at the time, the original Disney-MGM studios had a lot more broader movie stuff originally. Did you know it was originally a real-life working tv and movie studio when it started? They actually used some of the sets for genuine movie and tv shoots!
