'''Roger Rabbit''' is a fictional anthropomorphic rabbit. The character first appeared in the book, ''[[Who Censored Roger Rabbit?]]'' by [[Gary K. Wolf]], which was loosely adapted into the academy award winning film, ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''. Mixing both live action and animation to create a believable "toon" universe Disney studios set up an animation studio in Camden town, London, whilst the live action was shot at Elstree film studios. Both the animation and live action were then composited by ILM fx studios in LA. In the book, Roger is a sidekick in a popular comic strip called "[[Baby Herman]]," his murder is being investigated by a Detective named [[Eddie Valiant]] and a slowly evaporating stunt doppelganger of himself that he created hours before being shot. In the film version, he is re-envisioned as a 1940's character in animated cartoons and a resident of the fictional Los Angeles enclave, [[Toontown]]. He is framed for a murder and seeks out Valiant to help clear his name. In the film, the voice of Roger is performed by comedian [[Charles Fleischer]], who was known for electing to wear an actual rabbit costume on the set to get into the role. One of his famous traits is his voice, "P-b-b-b-b-bleeeease!", which is seen as hilarious by many. He is a white clownish rabbit with a gap between his front teeth, a voice that resonates of Huntz Hall in "[[The Bowery Boys]]", a blue [[Porky Pig]]-like bowtie with yellow pokadots, a red-haired [[Bugs Bunny]]-like head with blue eyes, a pink nose and round-tipped ears, red [[Goofy]]-like pants with a green patch behind and yellow [[Mickey Mouse]]-like gloves. |

Roger also starred in a comic book series from April 1990 to September 1991 and a spin-off series called ''Roger Rabbit's Toontown'', published from June to October 1991, which featured Roger in the first story and supporting characters like [[Jessica Rabbit]] (Roger's voluptuous humanoid wife), [[Baby Herman]] (his co-star in Maroon Cartoons), [[Benny the Cab]] (Roger's taxicab friend), and [[Toon Patrol|The Weasels]] (Roger's enemies). |
|||
==Attempted Sequel/Series== |
|||
* [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] and Amblin Entertainment attempted to resurrect Roger for a sequel, ''Roger Rabbit II: Toon Platoon''. However, a preliminary budget was deemed too large and the film never got past the script stage. Several 3D CGI tests and a 3D CGI rendering of Roger were completed, however, despite the fact that no actual footage was actually shot or completed. |
|||
* Roger Rabbit was originally going to be the star of the animated series now known as ''[[Bonkers (TV series)|Bonkers]]'', however the show was forced to create original characters due to copyright issues. |
|||
==Popularity== |
|||
* Roger made his footprints and handprints with his signature phrase "P-p-p-p-lease" in front of the Chinese theatre at [[Disney-MGM Studios]] on its opening day along with Mickey Mouse, [[Donald Duck]], [[Minnie Mouse]], and [[Goofy]]. |
|||
* Roger is also the inspiration for a popular dance move in the early 1990s, called "[[The Roger Rabbit (dance)|the Roger Rabbit]]" due to the floppy movements of the Disney/Amblin character. |
|||
* Roger Rabbit is a popular character at [[Disneyland]] and [[Tokyo Disneyland]] (both of which contain identical versions of the [[Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin]] attraction, with Roger appearing at the latter park as a meetable character), but is hardly ever heard of at [[Walt Disney World]], [[Disneyland Paris]] and [[Hong Kong Disneyland]]. |
