Who Framed Roger Rabbit...why I think it needs a sequel.
I just watched this with my boys today and actually got something fromit I never did before. When Toon Town was in danger my 3 year old son was VERY concerned about Mickey, and Bugs Bunny and Tweety,etc etc. I always saw them as just flavour to film but my son was very concerned about the fate of all of these characters he loves!
The thread about what movies needs sequels got me thinking about this movie. What a treat it was and still is to see WB and Disney characters all getting along (or NOT getting along) in one film. A clever movie...
A sequel could do something further and show a lot of respect to classic animation..which is all but dead. Of course it would have to take place in out time so Eddy would be long gone...or VERY old, but all the Toons could be the same of course. They could all be out of work and basically doing whatever odd jobs they could to get by..because the work is now all done by CG Toons.
The characters from Toy Story,Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, Despicable Me, Monsters Inc, The INcredibles, etc etc etc etc could all be seen again as wellas newer classic animated charaters that didn't work enough in the classic animation realm.
It would be interesting to at least pay tribute to classic animation by showing how CG animation has taken over. WHo knows..it could even inspire some new classic animation.
Of course in keeping with the Who Framed Roger Rabbit theme there would have to be a murder...maybe a computer virus that's taking out CG toons.
Just my thoughts today...
