Now Available - New Jessica Rabbit Sketches At Disney Parks

There are a few new sketch options available to be made into Original Disney Art. I was sent over these pictures by Andoni who spotted them at the Wondergroud Gallery in Downtown Disneyland. In their sketch book were EIGHT new Roger Rabbit-themed sketch designs. The first two (on the left page top) are Roger. One of him in a full body pose with his arms crossed, and the other is from the scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit when they are hiding out in the movie theater and Roger's ears twist together to make a heart. The two sketches below him are Jessica Rabbit. One is a full body pose of Jessica blowing a kiss, the other is a quarter shot of Jessica singing from her scene in the Ink and Paint Club. The right page has three more sketches of Jessica. The top two are also from Jessica's scene at the Ink and Paint Club, both close-up's. The third image is Jessica Rabbit as a Park Ranger, as seen in Trail Mix-Up. The last sketch is surprisingly of Baby Herman, sticking his tongue out in disgust at his baby bottle. Below you can see what the Jessica Park Ranger sketch looks like in color. The color scheme seems to be different than in the movie. Here she is wearing blue and white colors.

Roller Coaster Rabbit 25th Anniversary

The second Roger Rabbit cartoon short, Roller Coaster Rabbit, was released on June 15, 1990 in front of the movie version of Dick Tracy. Today this short celebrates its 25th Anniversary. The three Roger Rabbit cartoons, which star Roger Rabbit, Baby Herman, Jessica and special guest Droopy Dog, were released on a VHS tape called The Best of Roger Rabbit, and later included on the Special Edition and Blu Ray DVD's. Even if there isn't a Roger Rabbit sequel, there should certainly be more Roger short cartoons. They were very entertaining and in the style of the older Merrie Melodies type of cartoons - full of sight gags, explosions and comedy. Take a look at some concept art and merchandise from this great short...

Original Maroon Studios Sign

Here is a photo of the very rare original Maroon Studios sign from Disney's MGM Studios (left). This original sign was more like the opening of Who Framed Roger Rabbit - with Baby Herman and Roger Rabbit's heads below the logo. This time Jessica is joining them. The sign comes off as a little awkward with Jessica there since her hair just sort of hangs down.

I'm not sure when or why the sign was changed, but you can spot many differences. Mainly that now the characters are not only floating heads in the distance, but closer up half-body poses. The Maroon Studios logo curves on top of them, and the names are bigger and easier to read. The background also seems to have been fixed up.

Most of the other Roger Rabbit-themed items were changed, taken down, or relocated, however, the newer Maroon Studios sign still stands in what's now knows as Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Jessica Rabbit on Robot Chicken



The P-P-P-Perfect Crime

While I was never originally a fan of Robot Chicken, their humor has become a lot more based on parodies from many retro shows and movies like He-Man, Strawberry Shortcake, Flintstones, Star Wars - and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Becoming a regular viewer of the show, I hoped there would be at least one Roger and Jessica parody, and finally I happened to catch it on tv. In the Roger Rabbit skit, The P-P-P-Perfect Crime, Jessica and Baby Herman are seen sharing some suggestive conversation - when O.J. Simpson jumps out from the bushes.

Trail Mix-UP



Trail Mix-Up was the third and final Roger Rabbit cartoon, released with Disney/Amblin's A Far Off Place on March 12, 1993. By now the relationship between Disney and Amblin had soured and the next short cartoon, Hare In My Soup, had been cancelled. The movie Trail Mix-Up was in front of, A Far Off Place, also does not seem very memorable to me - so this short I did not see in theaters. In Disney's MGM studios however, they did play this while you waited in line for the back lot tour.
