    I dont think the Roger Rabbit animation was "cheesy." It was just drawn to mimic the early cartoons of the 50s. No need for a remake on that one.

    37 - Neil, you are great. <heh>

    I've been looking forward to a Roger Rabbit sequel since I walked out of the theater after the first one. I'd love nothing more than to revist Roger and Jessica. (And, honestly, most everyone else in that film.)

    I'd be curious who he had in mind for the live action parts? (I presume it would be another mix of live action and animation? Otherwise HERESY!)

    Good stuff you have here to look foward to.

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my favorite films ever-- I personally think it's better than Back to the Future. I don't think a sequel is necessary. It wouldn't be the same without Bob Hoskins and Christopher Lloyd, who made some really memorable characters (Judge Doom is one of the greatest villains ever). What worries me is your mention of a CGI Rodger (oh god no), and Zemeckis losing his touch with recent films like Beowulf. I really would like to see a film which employs 2D characters in live action footage, though.

    We need a movie where the hand-drawn toons and the computer animated toons wage war on each other. And the hundred year old Eddie Valiant is stuck in the middle.

    I was grabbed by the story from when I first read "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" in a pre-production copy of the book. I immediately thought that it would make the perfect movie. However, with all of the various characters pulled from the annals of animation I thought that it had no chance of making it. I was very glad to be wrong and thought it was incredible. CGI would take away from the 2 dimensional cartoon look that is critical to its origins, looks and feel. I don't think that there is room left for a sequel to the original movie. Although I wouldn't be opposed to the look being extended into other movies seeking the hard boiled private detective, film noir look and feel. Like the similar but not identical movies starring Bogart in the 40s. However the story has to be there to justify and make the cartoons instrumental in the plot and not just added in.

    If they ruin Roger Rabbit I'm going to kill someone. That is still one of my favorite movies and I have nostalgic memories of it teaching me how to use profanity as a small child.
