"Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" was more than 30 years ago, closing in on 35. Disney has decided to give Roger's human wife, Jessica, a reboot, swapping out acting for a new career as a private eye.
This all has to do with a Roger-centric ride at Disneyland, and how Jessica has gone from being a damsel in distress to a heroine. Well, WB did that with Daphne Blake in the two "Scooby-Doo" live-action movies, making her more pro-active instead of being the customary, danger prone damsel. Disney's figuring, if that worked, we can do something with one our ladies fair.
Well, it ain't the same as spinning cute-as-a-button Gadget Hackwrench from Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers, but, welllllll.....just judge for yourselves.
Disney is testing the waters here, but positive reaction could result in a movie spinning out of this, although for today's audience, they would recast the role (originally essayed by Kathleen Turner), I would suspect.
Stay tooned.

Honestly, I thought that Disney had removed all traces of Roger and Jessica from the parks by this time.
After they did those Roger Rabbit shorts, maybe there was enough interest in Rog to include him as a Disneyland attraction.
