Script being developed for Roger Rabbit sequel

I'm willing to give this sequel a shot, the most important thing is that the sequel will have a good story and it stays true to the original.
 
I'm amazed at how vehemently this movie is being talked about. While I agree that a sequel should have been released years ago, I'm not going to completly dismiss this. I try to keep a positive attitude about upcoming projects, and this is no exception.

The original novel had two sequels, so I wouldn't mind seeing more Roger. The mo-cap thing does sound weird, but maybe we don't know everything about it yet. I'll wait patiently.
 
Technically, we got those under the supervision of Eisner, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Frank Wells. When Wells died in that helicopter crash, things went to Hell.

Read "Disney War" sometime.
 
I would watch that. XD

Now that I think about it, there's quite a bit of possibilities there. The phasing out of theatrical cartoons, the rise and fall (and rise and fall) of TV animation, Japanese imports, censorship, the rise of CG movies, the outsourcing of animation to Japan/Korea... they could theoretically carve a pretty good movie out of everything that animations gone through since the 40's.
 
Personaly I got no problem with using a little subtle digital magic to help intergrate the animated and live action preformances. If it saves time, money and dosen't draw attention to it's self then why not.

Sadly this is Robert Zemmickis we're talking about, the man seems to be on a crusade to convert us all to the Holy Gospel according to Mocap. The core message of Polar Express has nothing to do with the power of faith or the magic of Christmas. Nope the central theme is "look how awsome motion capture is! You can see every pore on CGI Tom Hanks nose for God's sake! Why aren't you people bowing in abject awe?"
 
This does seem interesting. I'm not a big fan of the mocap technique but this could be good. I'm trying to look at the bright side.

And he said he would only do it for human characters, so cartoons are safe. That's what I really care about. And he said he was considering but...

I wonder if this will actually happen....
 
I like that idea. The '40s to the present is a pretty big leap. The '60s was a turning point in the animated world, not just TV, but imported animation from Japan (Speed Racer, anyone?). And since companies have consolidated since the last movie, if they can get WB on board, they'll have the Hanna-Barbera cartoons, and also Tom & Jerry. I heard they tried and failed to get Popeye and Tom & jerry in the last movie, but it might work this time.
 
I saw a Roger Rabbit comic once in which he tried to get a job in a limited-animation TV show (kinda like Hanna-Barbera). Roger tried to fit in, but he kept screwing up - he couldn't stay stiff, he'd start squashing and stretching. It was pretty funny.
 
Finally, somebody calm and collective on this matter. From what I interpreted, the only mo cap in the Roger Rabbit sequel will be used to help the special effects, similar to how mo cap was used in all the afore mentioned films above. You might not even realize there is mo cap being used. I highly doubt there won't be live actors in this film.
