How would you feel about a Roger Rabbit remake that covers the book more?

The only thing I remember about it is that the toons 'speak' in comic bubbles without sound. and even then I can't say if that's 100% accurate.

It would be terrible because the books aren’t that good

no

The more interesting lore stuff is in the Marvel Graphic Novel "The Resurrection of Doom", which then leads into the Disney Comics Roger Rabbit material. The books are a weird mixture of the movie canon and the original book canon.

from what ive heard been described from the book, an adaptation would be pretty shit since the books alot less interesting

there was an anon that read the most recent one and apparently there was some shit in there about how jessica (and possible roger too) were originally humans and turned into toons or some shit

There’s a genie involved.

It's terrible.

Roger Rabbit is actually dead

Eddy is getting help from a copy of Roger

Copy has a time limit to exist because he's essentially a stuntman meant to die when cartoons do dangerous stunts

Jessica is an evil slut that helped get roger killed

All cartoons communicate with word bubbles for some reason

book is set in the 80's

Roger is a comic book character

Roger is the bad guy all along and his own murderer

She's not evil, she's just written that way

Yeah pretty much this, it would be an ok online short, but I wouldn't make a full fledged movie about it.

I would refer a remake that turned Roger into a female who was goofy and child-safe onscreen, but a borderline bedroom-ready at all times (rabbit, duh) when not working, forced into close contact with a human detective who is acting as her bodyguard, and who is skeeved out by the thought of toon (especially ANTHRO toon) /human relationships.

So you just want a completely different movie.

Because they’re comic strip characters, not animation cartoon characters.

goofy and child-safe onscreen, but a borderline bedroom-ready at all times (rabbit, duh) when not workin

Fun idea for a modern toon that's forced to be that way when performing in very clean and sterile
modern cartoons.

Jessica is an evil slut that helped get roger killed

Roger is the bad guy all along and his own murderer

These are both wrong. Jessica had nothing to do with Roger's death, and Roger didn't kill himself.
Roger was killed by the genie he accidentally summoned. The difference between Jessica in the movie and in the book is in the movie she's in love with Roger, in the book she only married and stayed with Roger because she was influenced by the genie's powers. She's not evil, she just left a relationship where she actively disliked the guy, but was forced to stay with him and act like she loved him due to magic. In her own words, she thought Roger was "a turkey", and left the moment the magic was no longer controlling her.
Roger wasn't a bad guy, even if he originally planned to commit a crime. Both Roger and Eddie had a lot of respect for each other by the end. The genie was the bad guy, he killed multiple people and only wanted to kill more. Roger isn't evil for magically claiming Jessica either, since he was completely unaware he was summoning the genie, and genuinely thought she had fallen in love with him.

If you're interested in how it expands toon lore, the biggest one is that toons and humans can fuck and make children.

Eddie has a sister, Hedy, who's married to a toon man and they have three kids. I think two of them are toons and one of them is human.

There's also Toon Tonic, which can change humans to toons and vice versa.

All cartoons communicate with word bubbles for some reason

Because they're newspaper cartoons. Instead of comic strips being drawn, they're photographed. Also, toons are the Native Americans of this world.
It's been awhile since I read it, but didn't Roger purposefully use the genie to become successful and thought that Jessica falling in love with him was a result of the success and not the genie ALSO forcing that? The main thing I remember about the book is that Tijuana Bibles were a thing and Jessica used to star in a few.

No, Roger was 100% unaware he even had a magic lamp, and couldn't understand why everyone wanted his old tea kettle. That's why he thought someone was conspiring against him when he stopped accidentally summoning the genie, and suddenly Jessica left and his company let him go.

In fact, fuck it, toon lore dump, taken from the books, the comics, and the Rescue Rangers movie, which basically acts as a sequel to it

-There are MAJOR intergenerational conflicts between toons. Silent toons (who can only speak in title cards) resent talkies, talkies resent color toons, and color toons resent TV toons. This continues to the present day, where every kind of 2D toon resents CGI toons on some level.
-Various surgeries have been "offered" in back alleys to "upgrade" toons, but they're usually of dodgy quality and can often just leave toons mutilated. The most reliable and mainstream is the surgery to change toons from 2D to CGI, but at the cost of the toon's squash and stretch durability/immortality.
-Dip is the easiest, most reliable way to kill a toon, but it's not the ONLY way. A toon can die in a normal accident if it's funny enough. A toon pig was caught in an explosion, and when a perfectly cooked and played ham was found on the scene, a murder investigation ensued.
-Toons who die from a gag related death can leave behind toon ghosts. Think the weasels from the movie- the comic confirmed that, yup, they all died.
-Toons are born one of three ways- brought to live via a multiplane camera, delivered by a toon stork, or the good old fashioned way, sex, pregnancy, and live birth.
-Toons were part of the cold war. Russia, through Eastern European satillete states, attempted to produce shorts designed to demoralize western audiences with bootleg versions of American cartoons. It's heavily implied the Gene Deitch Tom and Jerry shorts were part of this plot.
-Toons don't have much social leverage, except for the toon actors union. With that, they're usually able to negotiate decent wages, resdiuals, and stock in the studio.

sex

Is that implied in the Disney-owned stuff or just the sequel novels of the original story? Also, would this mean that anthropomorphic Toons (Roger, Jessica, the Weasels, Doom, etc). are all…anatomically correct, then?

It's explicit in the novel and sequel novels, but the movie itself implies it at a few points ("I'm going to listen to you weave the Cloverleaf scenario- a story of greed, sex, and murder.")

There was a prequel planned that was going to confirm that toons fought in WW2. Bugs Bunny was also going to be revealed as Roger's "mother".

You are forgetting the part in the books where humans can become toons. Jessica used to be a human before she met Roger.

replacement racism metaphor in a Disney book

Oof.

color toons resent TV toons

Basically the corporate culture and mentality between Disney's feature length division and DTVA.

It even works because it's humans using it to divide and conquer toons.

The book sounds horrible to be honest.

Sex with Judge Doom.

What Roger Rabbit comics should I read to get this lore?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Censored_Roger_Rabbit?

Did you see someone fucking as a kid with this on in the background or were molested while roger rabbit during the dip scene because really how do you get attracted to Judge Doom?

I want to know how that came about, shit doesn't just form in a void

Oh, I forgot about that line in the movie. I guess I never thought Eddie would be talking about Toons there, though I guess later on in the movie Jessica confirms that Roger is “a better lover than a driver”.

Keep in mind the comics came out JUST at the start of the Disnry Afternoon and the TV animation Renaissance. TV toons at the time were synonymous with cheap, flat designs and limited animation.

I don't think it would be as zany, silly, or as funny as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but I think it's a good idea.
I'd watch it.

I watched it as a kid with no special feelings for it other than thinking it was cool that humans were interacting with Toons. It was just another kid’s movie to put on and watch back then. Recently, however, I watched the movie for the first time in…probably 20 years or so, and I came out of it being carnally attracted to Judge Doom (and Jessica Rabbit, but that’s a given). I’ve always been attracted to non-human characters and I have a sharp weakness for well-dressed men. Also, his eyes are gorgeous.

This is pretty neat, you could do a lot with these guidelines.

nobody's allowed to do fanart of a thing unless they were sexually traumatised or awakened by it

What is actually wrong with you?

Mostly the Roger Rabbit series published by Disney comics in the early 1990s, plus its sister series, Roger Rabbit's Toontown. The other bits are from the sequel novels, Who P-P-Pluggef Roger Rabbit and Who Wacked Roger Rabbit. Haven't read those as in depth, yet, aside from the sex thing.

Thanks bros

Yeah! I know Rescue Rangers got a lot of shit, but I really enjoyed the fact they ran with the Tooniverse setting as best they could. Would love to see more stories in this type of world.
No prob, Anon!

Yes. I would also like a Rescue Rangers movie that stuck to it's cartoon's universe, instead of kludged together garbage made by people obsessed with Roger Rabbit, but who knew Rescue Rangers was far more popular.
