The Chip and Dale movie is a pretty good indicator as to why we shouldn't trust Chapek's Disney to do a Roger Rabbit sequel.

This was basically the collection that Cakeworthy released not even a year ago. This stuff was also all on Unique Vintage. Cakeworthy, Unique Vintage, and Hot Topic have all had a bunch of Roger Merch in the last 9 months.

Hopefully D23 2022 or in the future we will hear the news about a Roger Rabbit sequel coming to the theaters soon,
as new Roger Rabbit attractions coming to Disney parks soon. I think Rick Flint from Roger Rabbit comics could be good replacing Eddie Valiant for the sequel. Also the sequel will take place in five years after the first film takes place in 1947.

Esp. after that Chip and Dale movie, I think this Disney regime is absolutely incapable. Roger Rabbit had nuance and pathos and empathy. The Rescue Rangers movie mocked the death of a child star they had a hand in destroying. They put the ugly trench coat on Jessica, hopefully that will be enough and we will get to keep Cartoon Spin.

I know you keep hoping and trying to wish it into existence, but its not likely to happen.

Yeah thanks alot, dude. Now I'll have to think about a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit will happen in the future.

Guessing it had something to do with the 4k Blu-ray release that came out around then. Considering that many other major Touchstone movies like Three Men and a Baby and Splash haven't gotten standard Blu-ray releases, I guess it shows that Disney still cares about the IP somewhat?

I don't think any new Roger Rabbit content will be coming out of Disney any time soon, not even a sequel. The Chip and Dale movie is likely the closest you're gonna get to any new Roger content.

Are they even releasing old titles on Blu-Ray at this point?

*sadface* Spielberg would have a word with ya, sir. Even his contract needs more attention to Roger Rabbit content in the future.

And Roger as a character is still relatively popular. His social media hashtags are fairly active.

Not sure what that even means.
But I'll be surprised if another film comes out. There have been rumors for years of a new movie, but its been stuck in development heck for forever. Any stuff that is out there about it appears to all be fan fiction, not anything real.
So for your sake I hope it comes out.

I don't think Disney does anymore outside of exclusive titles for the Movie Club every so often and some of the more important movies that got new scans for Disney+ for the niche 4k market.

Like I said, the Chip and Dale movie tried desperately to be Roger Rabbit but didn't understand what made Roger Rabbit work. Chances are a Roger Rabbit sequel made by modern Disney would be exactly the same.

I disagree only for the fact that if it were to happen any Roger Rabbit content won't be produced by Disney only. It would have been produced with Amblin and Imagemovers also.
I still don't think it'll happen any time soon, but if it were I think it would have a good chance at being good.

They've demonstrated with Rescue Rangers that they are incapable. The way they hid Jessica's body (removing her from the trunk, fine, body shaming her, No) shows that they do not understand the property.
I would rather Roger just exist as this perfect one off instead of them bleeding to death an IP they're clearly showing they don't understand.

The way they "fixed" Jessica really amuses me. All that buildup on how she'd be the hero instead of a damsel in distress and all they did was... what, put a suit on that one animatronic?
