8. Roger Rabbit 2: Toon Platoon
Disney and Lonny Toons characters on the same screen? Yes please. Animation of live-action? Uhm yeah that sounds awesome. And it was awesome back in 1988 when Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out. So it's a no brainer that a Roger Rabbit sequel would have been equally as awesome, and there was a time where such a film was in the works. A script was written though it was really a prequel. Toon Platoon was set in 1941 with a young Roger leaving his Midwestern farm life behind in search of his mother. Tagging along for the ride is Roger's human friend Ritchie Davenport. During his journey Roger meets struggling Hollywood actress and his future wife Jessica. Of course she gets kidnapped by Nazis to make pro-nazi films and of course Roger and Ritchie must enlist in the army to save her. The movie would have been packed with classical cartoon cameos much like its predecessor, and would have ended with the big reveal that Roger's birth father was in fact Bugs Bunny himself. Pretty cool, right? Well that's not what Steven Spielberg thought, he left the project feeling he could not satirize Nazis after his work on Schindler's list. In 1997 there was a re-write to the film now entitled "Who Discovered Roger Rabbit." but Spielberg was bust building DreamWorks and had no time to be bothered with such a film.-But the idea of another Roger Rabbit pictures just wouldn't fade away and as of 2010 was even said to be in development. Though it is doubtful that Toon Platoon will ever find its way into Cineplexs one can only hope that whatever the final product is it will utilize good old fashion animation and not that fancy high-tech CGI all the kids are going on about these days.
