Roger Rabbit Needs a Comeback

*Bauer536* · 03-18-2016, 09:35 PM

I was thinking that maybe there should be a sequel to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," but then I realized some problems:

1. Bob Hoskins is gone.

2. The other actors are either ancient or going.

3. It will not please long-time fans (Think about what happened with Force Awakens and Indy 4).

4. CGI will be used, and it could detract us from viewing the film.

5. It seems that the sequel goers want it to take place in the earlier years instead of contemporary time.

Whether or not a sequel should be made, let's face it: Roger needs a comeback. Some may think he's kind of a nuisance, but he's also a toon with the spirit of the cartoon character archetype, and he has both a sense of humor and a good heart. Even he had the extremely beautiful and talented songstress Jessica Rabbit for a wife. But he was the amalgamation of every classic cartoon type in the book.

He was comic relief at his best. And there is nothing wrong with comic relief characters. However, throughout the years, those certain characters got shafted by the ones who only abuse comedy and ruin the whole idea of making an endearing and funny character.

Thanks to characters such as the racist stereotype that is Jar Jar Binks and the highly annoying and regressing SpongeBob Squarepants, comic relief characters are getting a bad name. Olaf can't just live in piece because of these horrible creations. Even I've seen some people compare this innocent snowman to Jar Jar.

Bad comparison.

So, he's annoying, but he's not obnoxious and ridiculous as Jar Jar. And I'm sorry. SpongeBob may live with the fame, but Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny will always be the memorable ones. They've made history. SpongeBob will probably fade into obscurity unless he gets rebooted.

But let's be serious. The SpongeBob age is coming to an end. It doesn't matter. We have done so much with Mickey and Bugs, they have movies, TV shows, comic books, and more. Why not Roger Rabbit?

What do you think? I say, "No sequel, but add most of the characters in something else." If Zootopia 2 gets made, let's have Roger make a cameo, or have such a small scene, it will make all the fans squeal. How about that "Stooge" project Disney was working on. I'd see a film with Mickey and Roger together. Heck, just put him in a few episodes of the 2k13 Mickey Mouse series on Disney Channel.

Any thoughts?
