Roger Rabbit's Forgotten Sequel and Comic Books! - Good Ol' Groovy Jake

Despite being somewhat neglected and forgotten now, in the late 80s to early 90s, Disney and Amblin were really trying to make Roger Rabbit a very popular and big property. While that unfortunately didn't happen, back when Roger Rabbit was still being pushed, they ended up producing a sequel and two comic book series, which most people don't talk about... despite being pretty good. Let's take a look, shall we?
I've been working on this video for a few months. Sorry if the audio quality fluctuates, I'll try to fix that in future videos.
And to update you all, I plan to hopefully finish up the ASO 250 dub this month, I've just been working on some original projects and KZbin videos, but it is still being worked on.
The lovely character stills of me were done by my good friend Mister Acidic, check him out:

I thought the video was awesome!

​​@caitlyncarvalho7637who's he? are you talking about judge doom?

[@DarkCrueDethAngel]

No it's alright bro👍👌

[@acsaudiodramas]

This such an amazing deep dive into this rather unknown fandom! I find it amazing how the brought Roger in conflict with once popular limited animation in the second comic.

[@geoffreyrichards6079]

Roger Rabbit may no longer be around for a true sequel, but we’ve still gotten plenty of spiritual successors that could take place in the same universe - notably “Bonkers”, “Looney Tunes Back in Action”, the “Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers” movie, and quite possibly the Muppet films (with the Electric Mayhem miniseries implying that Toons exist in their universe).

[@Melvinwacko]

Well researched video. Shame the Roger Rabbit franchise had such a short lifespan because of that cursed shared rights issue.

[@tomkavanagh4200]

There could be a chance for a comeback. His cameo in the new Rescue Rangers might make that happen.

[@TECH097]

It's funny, my own idea for a WFRR followed Teddy Valiant, Eddie's son, during the death of theatrical animation and the rise of television animation, Roger now out of work because TV Toons rely more on writing than visual flair. It's funny how this covered similar ground haha

[@BigEWR]

I am so glad you gave the comics some recognition. I already have a copy of the Resurrection of Doom, and am slowly but surely collecting as many of those other comics as humanly possible.

[@buddysmith7794]

Really great overview these comics just look so fun.

[@Cutiepie-cy8td]

I also hate how Eddie had to be replaced with this Rick Flint! I’m just gonna imagine that he actually did appear in those other comics to help out Roger and let him become his new partner in order for his character arc not to be ruined. But I am glad he at least got his moment to shine in “Resurrection of Doom”. Edit: I think the reason why Doom wanted revenge on Roger too is because while Eddie was the one who killed him, Roger was the one who got Eddie take the case and go after Doom. AKA: the one who made Eddie return to his old spirit that helped toons

[@leprechaunfarmer4081]

I still own the graphic novels and the complete run of both titles. I also had a Disney Adventures that featured a Roger Rabbit story in which Roger tried to rescue Baby Herman, who had gotten stuck in a tree. For some reason, they were able to mention Tweety Bird and Woody Woodpecker in the story

[@projectapocalypse8274]

This was great dude, would love to see more videos like this. The Captain N and Mario comics or that ET sequel would be really cool to see discussed.

[@AdventureMaster18]

Thanks! I have plans to go over those at some point, I'll get to them eventually. :)

[@Rotomdextrash497]

I'm new, and I just wanna say this video is great, and super funny! I can't wait to see more of this stuff!

[@CyclopsWasRight616]

just because he didn't die the way he died in the movie, doesn't mean the dude can never, ever die again .

[@Supersaurus4]

I can agree about the Resurrection of Doom being confusing. I mean, Doom should have been seeking vengeance on Eddie, not Roger, because Roger was tied up with Jessica the whole time during the fight scene. Also, I definitely know that not all of the previous weasels were killed by the Dip in the movie, only one of them was killed by the Dip after Eddie kicked him into it.

[@GBTwelveSixteen]

Wow, seems like the Chip N Dale's movie took cues from this comic as the main villain wanted to make bootleg cartoon movies.

[@RYMAN1321]

The fact that Bob Hoskins has since passed away makes the chances of a sequel happening very unlikely now.

[@fotdk1]

That doodles the cat segment reminds me too much of the art community nowadays. Struggling artists at each other's throats while technology advancements seem to threaten us rather than help us. Maybe that wasn't the point, but I noticed the parallel.

[@LB030377]

JESSICA IN DEM JEAN SHORTS!!!!!!

[@TECH097]

As an aside I think that Eddie's reasoning makes more sense than none. He had gotten over his trauma of ToonTown to both face his fears and his brother's murderer...but he still lost Teddy. Its clear that Eddie isnt just traumatized he ADORES his late brother. They grew up together and he represents a good chunk of Eddies love for goofiness and comedy... but Roger isn't Teddy... he's a toon. Toons are a whole other level of goofy, and it feels like what Eddie would need to find closure from Teddy's death is a human partner, maybe a former cartoonist that can make him laugh without being in his face like Roger or most of Toontown. Is it a cop out? Oh ABSOLUTELY, but it could've been worse, he coulda been just annoyed with toons again.

[@jack_stone]

It would've been really funny if instead of the copout they always kept Eddie's face out of frame like Ms. Bellum from PPG. That'd be my solution anyway.

[@TheSkullKlownTSK]

If we can get a movie of what we seen from Chip & Dale movie. Then why not get a sequel/prequel. I would love to see that WW2 movie. Because cartoons were a major factor during WW2

[@Ponynstuff320]

I literally have to rewatch this after Judge Doom is announced as a guest character in Oogie Boogie Bash.

[@Antiyonder]

Always good to see indepth stuff for the lesser known comics.

[@jessicapinkman-hd4bw]

34:35 then why is it that both benny and sleazy showed attraction to her in the movie

[@toryficarola]

Roger's nickname "Jessie" for Jessica Rabbit was wholesome until he added the adjective "chesty" to it. :p

[@themadxd1274]

Actually in the movie one of the weasels do die in the dip

[@KennethV2000]

Guess who's back!!!?

[@tonyangelo]

The Ressurection of Doom- Yeah it should've been longer for my taste. And yeah I agree with some of the things you mentioned, Only I would agree for a new villain, but it be a surprise that Doom is revived. Again, just me. The Comics- Cool, though I would've written that Eddie would be training someone who would be with Roger throughout the comic. Despite the racism, It's all good. Good video. Love Roger Rabbit and hope he returns someday.

[@55twintv39]

45:59 Roger did made a cameo appearance in Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers (the movie not the show).

[@CMWaters]

Late reply, but to cover the tracks with the Weasels...you could always say that the dip that killed Doom also destroyed the bodies of the dead Weasels (save for the leader who already got the treatment).

[@WiiMan3121]

Roger rabbit was my favorite movie in the Disney movies list and speaking of it. There's some rumors hanging around that Roger rabbit sequel will release on February 18th 2022. I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on it as I saw a page on IMDb and some articles on the pop culture website .

[@William_Oswald1]

Own disney?

[@ShawnBettasso-rn9kk]

I like this movie and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about it and what do you guys think about this movie same thing what I say right

[@55twintv39]

24:53 Don’t forget the merry dwarfs.

[@Alejandroigarabide]

So, we need Disney in a bad spot and Warner not caring about their classical cartoons... This is 2024. What are they waiting for to make the sequel???

[@DennisTamayo]

The sequel should have some changes, like the switch to digital ink & paint on the 2D animated characters.

[@leprechaunfarmer4081]

No regular paint made them look more authentic

[@lihoffman8157]

Don't worry bud I look at them years ago

[@jessicapinkman-hd4bw]

an idea for a sequel could take place in modern time's and focus om Eddie's great great great great grandson freddy valiant who has his own prejudice against toons but not because of any kind of tragic event but rather simply just because and he deals with something involving anti toon humans wanting to follow in the footsteps of doom and destroy all toons meanwhile we get shown people saying I'll just say 'cartoonism' no longer exists as we are shown Hollywood finding new ways to expolit them as we see various toons with internalized bigotries playing hard into the 'cartoons are for kid's' steryotype some cameos for this movie? uh i don't know woody and buzz cuphead and mugman bojack horseman shrek the go titans being beaten up by the 2003 ninja turtles the warner siblings the ice age trio and miles morales because those we're thing's that we're suddenly on my mind actor for freddie? uhhhhh andrew Garfield baby herman won't return for obvious reason's and also maybe a similar scene to that betty boop scene with maybe the warners complaining about all of the cgi characters and then another sequel comic can expand upon that concept

[@jessicapinkman-hd4bw]

so who framed roger rabbit was first mcu movie!? huh you learn new stuff everyday cue overly serious people not getting the joke

[@ShawnBettasso-rn9kk]

I like this movie and I seen it when I was little and it's my favorite movie from my childhood and it's a good movie but not funny about this movie and it's still a good movie but not funny about this movie and do you agree with me about what I say right and also what do you think about this movie same thing what I say right
