I know the creator of Roger Rabbit and Disney do not get along, but is there any where in WDW that I can buy a Roger plush. And any news on the prequel?
Things may be changing on that front since new partnerships have been formed. RR is one of my favorite movies..........I force my family to watch it about every three months. So much could be done with this franchise as it relates to WDW and more movies
Gary Wolf author of the novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? filed a lawsuit in 2001 against The Walt Disney Company. Wolf claimed he was owed royalties based on the value of "gross receipts" and merchandising sales. In 2002, the trial court in the case ruled that these only referred to actual cash receipts Disney collected and denied Wolf's claim. In its January 2004 ruling, the California Court of Appeal disagreed, finding that expert testimony introduced by Wolf regarding the customary use of "gross receipts" in the entertainment business could support a broader reading of the term. The ruling vacated the trial court's order in favor of Disney and remanded the case for further proceedings.In a March 2005 hearing, Wolf estimated he was owed $7 million. Disney's attorneys not only disputed the claim but said Wolf actually owed Disney $500,000—$1 million because of an accounting error discovered in preparing for the lawsuit..
I remember that. Such a great movie. Shame that all involved are letting go to waste.Does anyone remember when you could take pictures with RR and the "taxi" at DHS? It was over by the honey I shrunk the kids stuff, I think where that big outdoor restaurant(food court?) is now. They added the animated RR and the crazy taxi in after they took your pic. Shot below is from '93 on my wife and I 's honeymoon. Just wondering if anyone else remembered that because it's my favorite pic of us at DW.

Thanks for the info................maybe more of my wishful thinking than anything else. Maybe Spielberg will help WDW on this.If your talking about that deal with Steven Spielberg and Touchstone..I doubt it..Spielberg is only doing things for the movie company. His shares are towards Universal..
Gary K. Wolf's Side is a bit different with ownership of Roger. This is from wikipedia
And the only thing recent in a prequel or sequel was Zemeckis is "interested" this is the video that mentions it...
