Who Framed Roger Rabbit Turns 32!

On this day in 1988 Who Framed Roger Rabbit was relased in theaters! This fantasy-comedy, film noir, animation movie was directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman. The film successfully integrated live action and animated characters, which was quite the feat back in the day. The movie is based on Gary K. Wolf's novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, which depicts a world in which cartoon and comic strip characters live alongside human beings. Don't forget to follow the Jessica Rabbit World Instagram account to see photos, art and collections from Jessica fans all around the world!

Hollywood Studios 30th Anniversary

The time period of the late 1980's and early 90's brought about the Disney Renaissance - with renewed interest in fairytale cartoons and new park experiences. Who Framed Roger Rabbit can be considered the beginning of this time period, but since it is not a fully animated movie it often goes to The Little Mermaid. However, Roger Rabbit is what set The Little Mermaid swimming. Who Framed Roger Rabbit brought about enough acclaim that more animated movies were put into production. With one success after another, these new characters found a home in the newly opened park...

30 Years Of Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Today marks 30 long years since the debut of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a cherished movie that successfully blends live action with animation. As the tagline states, 'It's the story of a man, a woman and a rabbit in a triangle of trouble.', and all these years later the movie is still as entertaining as it was when it debuted in 1988. The movie was originally based on the novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit by author Gary K. Wolf. Some of the elements changed for the film version but a lot of the characters remained, such as detective Eddie Valiant, the seductive Jessica Rabbit, and her husband, the famous Roger Rabbit. While in the last few years there seemes to be less attention given to our beloved characters, there have been notable accomplishments along the way. Let's take a look...

15 Years Of Posting Jessica Rabbit News

2018 marks my 15th year of posting Jessica Rabbit news and info! This all began back in 2003, I started a Jessica Rabbit Yahoo Group just as her pins first started to be created during the Official Pin Collecting heyday. I was continually surprised to see even more merchandise soon follow like statues, mugs, shirts and more! After several great years on the Yahoo Group I decided to buy the ImNotBad.com domain name. Slowly, I added more and more to the site with things like Merchandise Reviews and Artist Interviews. The Jessica news might have slowed down in the last couple of years but I keep the site here, always dedicated to the Toontown diva herself. Jessica Rabbit is my favorite cartoon character and has been ever since I saw the movie in 1988. I am glad I can serve as a place people can always go to learn more or get any information. I thank everyone who continues to enjoy this site and am very honored to be at over 1.5 Million Page Views today. Here's a sample of the front page news and art from over the last 15 years!

The morning began with a special opening ceremony which focused on the five different lands of the park and many rare characters who aren't often seen. Later in the day there was a parade featuring all the characters and dancers from the opening ceremony. Very surprisingly, Jessica Rabbit was one of those characters included. Lets take a look at the day's events...

Jessica Rabbit Appears In Disneyland Paris Anniversary Parade

Check out the ImNotBad Twitter feed for photos and video of Jessica Rabbit making her second park appearance for the 25th Anniversary of Disneyland Paris. Though Jessica made one park appearance before, it was at the Disney Dreamers Everywhere event in 2013 (pictured right) which was not open to the general public. For 2017 Jessica was included in the 150 characters taking part in the Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary, alongside other rare faces like Oswald the Rabbit, The Rescuers, Emperor Kuzco, Milo & Kida, Hercules & Meg and many more. The day began with a big opening ceremony featuring all the characters around the castle. Roger and Jessica Rabbit marched out with many others to It's A Small World which was partly combined with the Main Street Electrical Parade Theme. The characters all performed to Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, When You Wish Upon a Star, and music created for the anniversary. Later in the day there was an Anniversary Parade featuring all the characters seen during the opening ceremony.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit Celebrates 28 Years

Who Framed Roger Rabbit hops into another year, celebrating its 28th Anniversary in 2016. The movie is a cartoon-noir film which starred a human actor (Bob Hoskins as Eddie Valiant) - and an actual cartoon rabbit. The animation by Disney under the lead of Richard Williams still looks beautiful today. The special effects by Industrial Light and Magic were advanced technical achievements for the time. The acting by the human cast and the voice actors alike was superb. Take a look back at all the special Anniversary happenings and merchandise over the last several years, as we go full steam ahead closer and closer to the big 3-0!

Jessica Rabbit Store 25th Anniversary - Part Three: The Merchandise

The Jessica Rabbit store was not short on the amount of merchandise it offered. Though the building was only a few hundred square feet of shopping space, it was packed with shirts, mugs, jackets, magnets, towels, tote bags, jewelry, and yes... even lingerie. Who Framed Roger Rabbit was a blockbuster movie, it was followed by two short cartoons, with another on the way by the time the Jessica Rabbit store was in place. It would appear there would be plenty of time to capitalize on the character - but unfortunately that time came to a quick and sudden end. There has been little record of Jessica's and the merchandise that was once available, especially since Pleasure Island is now a thing of the past.

Here for the first time is a very exclusive look at the vast selection of merchandise available at Jessica's. We will get inside information about some of the items through artist interviews and even see concept art for merchandise never produced.

Jessica Rabbit Store 25th Anniversary - Part Two: The Building

Pleasure Island was more than a new location filled with shops and bars, it was actually an entirely new themed area. The island itself had a backstory of once belonging to Merriweather Adam Pleasure, who used the buildings for his seafaring business. After he was lost at sea the island and its buildings sat abandoned until it was discovered by Imagineers. They were determined to bring new life into the old island, and also pay homage to its previous owner. Once restored, the island was bustling again and even had its own mascot, the moon-faced Grand Funmeister. All the buildings had a rustic, industrial look with many of them having metal side paneling, vaulted ceilings and large windows. The Jessica's store was no exception, and seemed to incorporate an older style with that of a modern city building.

Even though the mermaid from Splash didn't get her signature saloon with a tail-swinging neon sign, the idea may have inspired what we know as the Jessica Rabbit store. Let's take a closer look at the area of Pleasure Island where Jessica's was located, the building, brochure maps and what it was like for Jessica Rabbit creator, Gary K. Wolf, to see his character's very own store.

Jessica Rabbit Store 25th Anniversary - Part One: The Beginning

According to the D23 Website, December 15th, 2015 will mark the 25th Anniversary of Jessica's, the Jessica Rabbit store which once stood in the center of Pleasure Island. This store is almost legendary to some people, since its time in Disney History was extremely short. Often confused as merely a lingerie shop, Jessica's was actually full of themed merchandise such as mugs, shirts, statues and accessories. Although Pleasure Island has now converted into Disney Springs, the iconic image of Jessica Rabbit was a mainstay to the West End Stage, greeting guests and providing photo opportunities long after her store had closed.

Open from late 1990 to some time in 1992, many people never got the chance to visit The Jessica Rabbit Store. After compiling information these last several years, ImNotBad.com is happy to offer an extensive look at what was - including merchandise photos, concept art and interviews, in a three-part article that will put a spotlight on one of Disney's first character-themed stores.
