Disney Unlikely to Approve 'Roger Rabbit' Sequel Due to Jessica Rabbit's Image

Director Robert Zemeckis reveals that Disney's current stance on Jessica Rabbit's portrayal is a major barrier to a sequel.

Robert Zemeckis, director of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit,' claims a sequel script exists but won't be greenlit by Disney.
The character of Jessica Rabbit, known for her sultry image, is cited as the main reason Disney is hesitant to proceed.
In 2021, Disneyland altered Jessica Rabbit's appearance on a theme park ride, covering her with a trench coat and changing her storyline.
Zemeckis believes Walt Disney created films for adults, which influenced his approach to the original 'Roger Rabbit' movie.
The 1988 film was a commercial success, grossing over $350 million, and remains a beloved classic for its unique blend of live-action and animation.
