>Box office $351.5 millionWhat made it click with people in 1988?
>>150126653Roger Rabbit would have been better if there were a non-stop subway surfers gameplay stream right below it
It was made by an insane guy, but in a good way.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo537iTkCEAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT4EmPr7imc
>>150126653It was fucking cool and there was a growing interest in animation again that had started in the mid-80s.
I look a bit askance at the countless revivals, but I'd be down for a Roger Rabbit trilogy with a new human companion set alongside historical events and what's going on in the world of animation at the time.1965 with the Civil Rights movement, TV animation, and the Ralph Bakshi underground cartoon scene. Toons moving out of Toontown and integrating into larger society.1970s-80s with the Cold War, Soviet Animation, Wall Street scandals, Anime, and toy cartoons.2000 with the rise of CGI animation.
It was the second highest grossing movie of 1988 domestically
>>150126918*new human companion each movie.Roger and Jessica would always be in each film, though
>>150126918Nah, that's stupid. Also the talent to make a movie like Roger Rabbit doesn't exist anymore, theatrical practical effects and traditional animation are effectively dead.
>>150126653>>150126925Sharkfag why are you so obsessed with the box office for movies and keep posting them as if people aren't already vaguely aware how successful/unsuccessful these movies are?
>>150126918You're saying this as though anybody in Hollywood has the talent to animate on the level of Golden Age animators anymore.
I really love the obscure Disney cameos in this movie.
>>150126962Box office discourse has poisoned film discussion
>>150126999Which one is meant to be obscure?
>>150126653>executive producer SAY IT
Sex with Judge Doom.
>>150126918No, Roger Rabbit is perfect as a standalone love letter to the golden age of animation. Anything else will dilute and ruin the original, especially in this day and age.
>>150127191She was kept as far away from the creative process as humanly possible. If only she was kept in that place her entire career.
>>150126918I don't hate it, but I would like it if they could take a few cues from the source material books.The books weren't that good - a few solid concepts but terrible deus ex machina nonsense and far worse characterization - but they did have some nifty ideas. If we ever get more Roger I'd like to see some of that stuff used.
>>150126918>Toons moving out of Toontown and integrating into larger society.Would be kino if done right and not just another generic Hollywood analogy for racism against blacks. For instance, if the new villain plans to destroy toontown by leaning on the civil rights movement and convinces toons that they're being oppressed by Humans and how they need absolute equality. Which then causes toons to migrate to the real world, opening them up to all the abuses of actual society while the villain buys out the vacant toontown properties to convert into real estate. Or better yet the villain builds a theme park in place of toontown, which forces the toons into actual slavery once they realize they've been sold a lie and try to come home.

Imagine if Roger was a girl and the film was about a clumsy rabbit girl teaming up with a no-nonsense detective.
