Director Robert Zemeckis reveals that a sequel is unlikely due to Jessica Rabbit's portrayal conflicting with Disney's current standards.

Robert Zemeckis, director of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit,' confirms that a sequel script exists but is unlikely to be produced.
Jessica Rabbit's iconic and provocative design is cited as a major obstacle, with current Disney policies making her character too controversial.
Disney has made changes to Jessica Rabbit's portrayal in their theme parks, reflecting a shift towards more conservative character representations.
The original film, released in 1988, was a groundbreaking success, blending live-action and animation and earning three Academy Awards.
Disney's broader efforts to update and diversify its attractions have included changes to other classic rides, such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise.
