Hi guys,

I checked the Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2 Movie on IMDB it is Pre-production.
It will soon be released in 2022.

Here is the link.

Hello, chenchukon.

I hear Disney will be renovating the treehouses in both DL and the World to a Roger Rabbit 2 Treehouse.

With how Disney is placing its trashcans near the treehouse, it's almost certainly happening. Chapek loves synergy after all.

~~Glory Be

Hey guys,

Grant Hill owns the rights to Robert Zemeckis for the Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2 Movie.
Wait, I thought it was illegal to own someone in this country. Is this 2020 or 1820?

Give it up dude, there is no Roger Rabbit 2 being made. And at this point will likely never be made. It just won’t happen, stop trying to will it to happen. And I think you know it won’t happen, so also stop trolling.

At this point there is not enough interest in Roger by either the public or by Disney for there to be a sequel.

Just because you are interested in a sequel of a particular movie doesn't mean everyone else is too.
I’ll tell you this, I’m more interested in a sequel to this than Beetlejuice 2 or a Tron 3... or an Indiana Jones 5. Regardless if it’s not in development or if the OP is “trolling”. With all due respect, speak for yourself.

And with all due respect you didn't read what I posted. I said, "not enough interest", this doesn't mean no one would have interest. There will obviously be people including yourself that would be interested in seeing a sequel. But if I were to guess that if you polled a large portion of the movie going public a large majority wouldn't even remember or have seen the first film.

Either way it doesn't matter as there is no sequel in development at this point in time. And based on all the reports directly from Robert Zemeckis himself the movie will never get green-lit by Disney. So this is all just a poster having wishful thinking, but if they want to believe a sequel will happen then by all means let them continue have that fantasy. :cool:

Ooh wow a sassy repeater, nice! Anyway, If Disney were to somehow push this old film like they did with Hocus Pocus, then I’m sure it’ll garner a lot more interest. A lot of well known and lovable characters and with the right story it could be something special. Doesn’t have to be a direct sequel but more along the lines of a spiritual one utilizing the same world but in modern times. My guess is that Disney doesn’t wanna work with other movie studios like they did with Who Framed.

You’re right Disney probably doesn’t want to work with other studios, which means it’ll likely won’t get made. So why are we even having this conversation if you agree it won’t get made?

Disney pushed Roger for a long time. He was a walk around character with M&G at the parks, he even has his own ride now at DLR in ToonTown. And at one time there was lots of merch too. So its not like Disney hasn't pushed him at the parks.

Anyways it seems like your only issue with anything I posted was around the idea of there being lack of interest out there. And I think this mostly comes from the fact that you yourself have interest or maybe Roger is your favorite movie or character. I don’t know, either way doesn’t matter. So let me revise my statement, if there was interest at Disney a sequel or even any film related to Roger would get made. Since one hasn’t been made up to this point and one isn’t planned for production any time soon one can conclude Disney has no interest at all to make a new film involving Roger. Who knows maybe that changes in the future but as of now there is none.

Development he’ll is a thing. There has long been repeated interest in a sequel, which is why several were started. That they did not work out is not evidence of lack of interest.

Come on, you know as well as I do that if Disney was committed to the idea it would get made. Hell we'd even see a live action version of it by now if there was any interest at Disney.

So if you think Disney has had interest then why hasn't it been made?

Zemeckis himself said Disney has no interest as the script has been waiting on them. So again I ask you since you seem to think you know it all about Disney, why if Disney has interest in the project has it just sat waiting on Disney? And saying development hell is not an answer, as that is a cop out answer.

They probably also don’t want to give complete control to a singular filmmaker.

The scripts, plural, didn’t magically appear out of nowhere. A project doesn’t repeatedly get started over 30 years if nobody is interested.

Understood, but those have all come from Zemeckis' end. Again they have been submitted time and again to Disney, where they just sit. Again as stated by Zemeckis himself.

So I ask you again if you truly believe that Disney has had interest, and since you are the self proclaimed know it all for all things Disney, then why hasn't Disney moved forward? And again Development Hell is not an answer.

No, only one came from Zemeckis. At least two two were developed completely internally at Disney throughout the 90s, with Alan Menken writing songs and Eric Goldberg doing animations tests and development for one. Disney also tried to replace Roger Rabbit with Bonkers. Gary Wolfe developed a feature along with additional shorts. J.J. Abrams even considered working on a sequel. Something with no interest does not see at least four concepts developed, some with years of work. And yes, Development Hell is an answer, no matter how much you just want to make up simple answers.

Well I think the point is Development Hell or not, there wasn't ENOUGH interest at Disney to move forward.

I think you took what I said literally, when I said Disney had no interest I mean there was a lack of interest by Disney to move forward.

I did not agree that a Roger Rabbit sequel won’t ever happen. I simply made an assumption as to why Disney hasn’t done so yet. Regardless if they make it or not, I’m interested.

Disney pushed Roger for a long time. He was a walk around character with M&G at the parks, he even has his own ride now at DLR in ToonTown. And at one time there was lots of merch too. So its not like Disney hasn't pushed him at the parks.

You’re speaking past tense, over 25+ years ago. I’m talking about pushing the film today like the company has done with several of their other older franchises. Why can’t the company at least try to see if there is an interest by releasing merch, having Roger Rabbit available to do meet and greets and so forth. If the perception is well-received then there’s the answer.

And I think this mostly comes from the fact that you yourself have interest or maybe Roger is your favorite movie or character.I don’t know, either way doesn’t matter.

Who knows maybe that changes in the future but as of now there is none.

I do highly enjoy the film and appreciate it and all its characters. Yeah, Roger is cool and hella entertaining but he’s nowhere on my top 10 of favorites, I don’t know why you must assume this. Maybe it’s because I’m interested in a sequel and you’re not. Whatever it doesn’t matter, right?

My apologies, your assumption comes across as acknowledgement that it won't get made.

And I think its well understood at this point of your interest in anything related to Roger.

That is something you have to ask Disney. I have no idea why they drag out some characters from the vault and not others. I'm sure they have some internal marketing team making those decisions. Maybe they just haven't gotten to that part of the vault where they drag out Roger and push him in the parks for nostalgia sake. Maybe they have internal poll numbers that shows it wouldn't be profitable. Maybe they have a committee that makes those sorts of decisions and you have someone who hates Roger always voting down the idea. Honestly I don't know.

I think everone is taking my posts a little too seriously and a little literally.

At this point my opinion is a sequel won't get made. If one gets made in the future I hope its at least good. Because so far none of the ideas I heard surrounding anything Roger hasn't been very good. And maybe that is why Disney hasn't green-lit the project, it ultimately comes down to them not liking any of the ideas. Again I don't know, just giving my opinion.

So lets just leave it at that.
