Movie Pitch - Mickey Mouse/Roger Rabbit 2

[Omegadiz]

I was thinking that Mickey Mouse needed to return to the big screen and be a little more edgey than he is portrayed in the clubhouse series so that he could gain a little more popularity with older demograhpics (imho). At the same time, I alwasy wanted to see something more done with Roger Rabbit, which i loved for featuring cameos and blending animation and live action. This movie isnt as adult oriented and "dark" as WFRR, it takes place in a lighter and friendlier environment.

I havent got the story nailed down yet, but so far it involves mickey being erased from peoples memories and the world acting like he never existed. The Phantom Blot would have been behind this by traveling to burbank and stealing some of the early concepts of mickey mouse and rearraging some of the stories he's been in. When know one recognizes Mickey anymore, he goes to Detective Roger Rabbit and they search for clues in the real world, toon town, and some other neat environments that change the animation style (cgi, black and white, anime, etc)

I'd like to know what you hink of this plot and if you have any ideas and/or critisisms

I love the idea of switching formats! Maybe keep the environment the same, but change environments with the format change.

I have a different idea but similar. Maybe all cartoons are beginning to fade away from the public, and Eddie Valiant is on the job, with Roger on his side. The villain could be a more cartoonish Phantom Blot, not as serious as Epic Mickey.

If we do the different animation styles, we could organize the cameos. Maybe some Pixar characters in CGI, Oswald in black-&-white, and Pokemon in anime. Maybe we can get mharrington to work here. I did a very long thread with him about an idea for a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.

Speaking of your Roger Rabbit forum, the cartoons without jobs idea was cool, could we possibly incorporate it, somehow?

About the CGI style, the Pixar characters could definetly work, but not all of them. In other words, we don't want Woody and Buzz swimming with Nemo. But then again, some could work together; couldn't Flik be on Nomanisan Island with the Incredibles (Could they interact?). Thoughts?

The "toons without jobs" concept was for the anachronistic (debuting after the film's time period) cameos only.

I hate to tell you this, but that sounds kinda like the plot of a TV special made for Mickey's 60th birthday in 1988, the same year that "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" came out, in which Mickey again tampers with the Sorcerer's Hat and is punished by the Sorcerer (who may or may not be Yen Sid, I never saw that show actually) who casts on the mouse a George Bailey-type spell that sends him to an alternate world where no one knows or remembers him and only Roger Rabbit can save him.
