On December 5th, producer Don Hahn added some festive art of Roger and Jessica Rabbit under the mistletoe, joining a list of characters so far like Monsters Inc. Mickey Mouse, Donald and Grumpy. New art will be revealed each day. The art is only available to view by D23 Members - but have no fear, regular membership is still free! Sign Up today and you will have access to news, art and interviews. As a member, you also have a chance to enter the 23 Days Of Christmas Sweepstakes to win a lithograph of artwork from this years series!

Roger Rabbit Artist Jacques Muller

The Who Wacked Roger Rabbit novel was released a few days ago, and as you might have noticed, although it's an eBook, it was accompanied by some awesome cover artwork. You might say serendipity brought artist Jacques Muller to Gary Wolf at the right time. Gary was looking for an artist for the novel cover, and when he noticed a Facebook page with a picture of Roger and Jessica, he contacted that very person. Not only did Gary have the animation cel he saw in the Facebook profile - but the profile belonged to Jacques - who had actually animated that very scene! Jacques signed on to do the artwork and has given us some great images of the new characters in Toontown.

Musa Publishing gave us more insight on Jacques' work with Disney and info on the new characters with a great article:

Mariah Carey Or Jessica Rabbit

For her performance in New York's Rockefeller Center for the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, Mariah Carey charmed the audience in a holiday outfit that seems to be inspired by cartoon diva Jessica Rabbit. According to the Daily Star, she first appeared wearing a tight red dress topped with fur trim and long black gloves. Carey continued to wow the audience for a second time when she changed into a sparkling white dress and gloves for the rest of her performance.

Pin Release - Jessica November Calendar

The Jessica Rabbit November Calendar Pin was released on Wednesday, November 27th, 2013 at the Disney Studio Store Hollywood and Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop (formerly the Disney Soda Fountain and Studio Store). Oddly, the Pin was not shown as being released on the Disney Soda Fountain Facebook page, so there is no usual photo from them. There are very few of these pins seen on eBay, but it looks like the release was official on that day. The front background image has a gold glitter fill. Jessica's original signature is on the right of the pin. There is also the "2013" below that and the usual half shot of her. The inside shows Jessica Rabbit in a red dress with apron, holding a platter of turkey. Her dress is red glitter filled. The background is a brown or gold glitter fill with big leaves surrounding Jessica. The calendar portion is printed on the bottom half. Thanksgiving is indicated with a leaf on the calendar. The pins sold for $16.95 each and are a Limited Edition of 300.
