I doubt rights were the issue, because Touchstone who made the first movie is owned by Disney and from what I remember, they actually bought the rights in the 80s for themselves.Ihatebradjones wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 2:48 pmSounds like a plausible theory actually. They've been trying to make a Roger Rabbit sequel for ages, but couldn't get it done because Disney doesn't fully own the character. Guess a cameo was all they could get so they just used the plot for another dead IP at random.
However, I also get the vibes it's shitcanned Roger Rabbit sequel idea turned into this.
My guess why they did this is Roger Rabbit would require much more effort and real star power, here they just slap CG and shit drawings and can call it a day.
I don't know what they were thinking, it just looks bad. Souless shit cashgrab is a given, because Disney, but it's so calculated you can see fucking excel with suits making this movie. I guess they wanted to make shit movie like this, because Player One and other gay shit is all the rage now, as well as MUH REFERENCES!!!
Voice acting is just fucking awful and something straight from channel awesome autism team. Everything in it just looks off and bad, even animation. I don't get who had bright idea to make look Dale look like he's from 1940s and rest in more recent style. It looks flat. Maybe someone had boner for RR prototype, where it was about detective agency and more 40-50s setting? Or maybe they are making him indiana jones rip off.
It will be shit, obviously, but it still somehow depresses me when I look at it.
