Remember what a huge deal “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was when it came out in the late 1980s? It was a monster hit at the box office and was one of the key elements in the re-birth of animation in pop culture that would skyrocket with the advent of “The Simpsons” a couple of years later. But somehow, nothing more really ever came out of that success in terms of developing a franchise except for a couple of Roger Rabbit shorts that were tied to some Disney releases.
This Neatorama post from earlier this week has a lot of interesting bits I never knew: for example, I had no idea the movie was based on a novel, or that the long-shelved prequel has once again been dusted off by the first movie’s director, Robert Zemeckis. There are some other neat little tidbits of info in the Neatorama post, too.
