I’m aware that, chances are, after you read that headline above, you’re probably going to have a minor embolism.
Rest assured that you DID read that correctly, and by all accounts, someone, somewhere, at Disney has greenlit a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
You may not, however, be aware that Who Framed Roger Rabbit was actually based on an old conspiracy theory proven terrifyingly accurate about how a coterie of companies came together to take down the Los Angeles streetcar system and replace it with a freeway, which is pretty much what happened in the original.
There are some rumors that say that we’ll have much the same thing in this one, with another conspiracy theory being targeted and analogized to fit into a ninety minute cartoon / live action hybrid film. Naturally there’s no proof of this as the script hasn’t even been started on yet, but the concept remains, and in all honesty, I’m looking forward to it!
I loved that film when I was a kid, and have fond memories of going along with a group of childhood buddies to catch it. It was downright amazing. And I can only hope that a whole new generation of kids will have the same opportunity to laugh at a moron bunny that I did.
