It was previously reported that Roger Rabbit producer Gary K. Wolf is currently working on an animated remake of The Stooge for Pixar, with Mickey Mouse and Roger Rabbit in the starring roles.

New Mickey Mouse Animated Shorts Announced

Now, AICN has revealed a piece of pre-production art for the project and an update from the artist Douglas Sirois: "The Stooge has a treatment and we have a few writers brainstorming. We are developing more concept art. We have two directors interested and are actively looking for a Disney producer to take it to the next level. It is a great concept and a ton of fun developing. We also have been working with Gary K. Wolf on some Roger Rabbit short animation concepts that will also grab more attention and celebrate the 25th anniversary of the character this year!"



As Wolf noted on his blog last month (via Geek Tyrant), his script is indeed based on the classic Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis movie of the same name. Additionally, "the film incorporates five specific locations from the Disneyland park [and] the Toon Train, an exciting and interesting way to travel through Toontown."

The Stooge also features real-life people, Walt Disney co-stars and an appearance from Orson Welles.

No WB involvement = GAGF Disney. Roger Rabbit's toons were more Looney than cutesy.

 

[Akahige]

What?! I'd watch it but it confuses me

 

[EightBitNate]

I used to think it was weird seeing Daffy and Donald Duck in the same film.

I don't care I just want Roger Rabbit back. Wreck-It-Ralph seems to be Disney's new "mash up" franchise.

 

[Harry Potter]

Do adults or kids even care about Roger Rabbit?

Do adults or kids even care about Roger Robbit?

C'mon son.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Do people even care about Roger Robbit?

These kinds of questions are what ruined the film industry

 

[Harry Potter]

C'mon son.

Nice edit.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Do adults or kids even care about Roger Rabbit?

Seriously?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Nice edit.

Thanks. I was trying to spare your feelings. It's probably better that you know, though.

In a perfect world, they would have kept doing Roger shorts to play before major movies. The two they did were goddamn fantastic.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

WFRR is one of my favorite movies from childhood, so I'll watch. Just Disney I don't know. Plus I'd preferred it if it wasn't cgi, but that's out.

 

[Harry Potter]

Seriously?

The movie scared me when I was younger. I refused to go on the ride at Disneyland. I didn't realize he had such a following.

Thanks. I was trying to spare your feelings. It's probably better that you know, though.

No, you were trying to save your own ass.

 

[MYE]

lol

 

[PaulExcellent]

Awesome.
Will watch as soon as it is released.

Judge Doom should frighten young children. Hell, he still creeps me out as an adult.

Those eyes...

 

[Anticitizen One]

The only reason Disney had to stop Roger Rabbit shorts is because Spielberg threw a hissy fit and became an asshole. They should bring back Zemeckis to direct another one I want to know to if hes still got it as a director.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I used to think it was weird seeing Daffy and Donald Duck in the same film.

Is he making holes with his dick?!

 

[Log4Girlz]

I hate that version of Mickey.

Wingardium levi-get outta here.

Cartoons need to be a bit more scary, that's what makes some of them so memorable.

From what? Your post was terrible.

 

[Anticitizen One]

All he said was your post was terrible which it is

 

[Harry Potter]

From what? Your post was terrible.

Asking a question is terrible? I don't know who Roger Rabbit appeals to. Didn't think he was relevant anymore.

 

[Escape Goat]

Toon town is the best place at Disney World.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Mickey Mouse is so dull, replace him with Donald.

 

[RSLAEV]

edit (lol): he wasn't 'relevant' when they made him, he was just funny. As long as people like to laugh funny will be relevant

 

[prwxv3]

When was the last time Mickey Mouse was in an actual animated feature film? Or hell, cartoon, period?

one short was just released.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Toon town is the best place at Disney World.

I think you mean Disneyland. There is no toon town at WDW

 

[overcast]

I think you mean Disneyland. There is no toon town at WDW

And it's not the best place in Disneyland. It's pretty cool, but when it's crowded it sucks.

 

[Mike M]

No Jessica, no sale.

Spoiler

I'd still see it, but only once instead of twice

 

[qindarka]

It has not been greenlighted yet and it is doubtful that it will be.

 

[Escape Goat]

They must have taken it down then. It was awhile ago but it was definitely Disneyworld. They also had a Honey I Shrunk the Kids area too.

 

[qindarka]

When was the last time Mickey Mouse was in an actual animated feature film? Or hell, cartoon, period?

Mickey and the Beanstalk segment of Fun and Fancy Free back in 1947. He hasn't really been used in feature films.

Well,there was that DTV Musketeer film as well, I guess.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse has been airing since 2006, and he's had The House Of Mouse before that...

People who like excellent movies?

Well they used to have a "Toontown fair" that they redid into Dumbo's Circus recently but it really just toon town in name only and had zero to do with the Roger Rabbit film. The one in Disneyland is based off the real toon town from the movie.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Roger Rabbit is about as relevant as those old Scwarzenegger Conan movies, Blade Runner and the original Star Wars trilogy.....oh hmmmm...

Yea they took it down a couple years back I believe. For the FantasyLand expansion.

 

[pants]

Eh, not sure if I want Mickey Mouse in here, RR and MM do very different kind of films.

Lol @ Mickey cheese dick

 

[Data West]

A sequel to my favorite movie of all time? Oh god...
First the Blu-ray now this.

But Mickey was in Roger Rabbit?

 

[To Far Away Times]

I used to think it was weird seeing Daffy and Donald Duck in the same film.

Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

No Zemeckis = no deal.

 

[pants]

But Mickey was in Roger Rabbit?

Really? I dont recall him in who framed RR

 

[Ridley327]

REMEMBER ME, EDDIE? WHEN I KILLED YOUR BROTHER? I TALKED

JUST

LIKE

THIS!!!

Really? I dont recall him in who framed RR

He has two scenes in the film; the first is when Eddie goes to Toontown and falls from the building, and Mickey just so happens to be parachuting with Bugs at the time and advises Eddie to not take Bugs' "spare," and the second is during the ending with all the toons showing up for the will reading.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Dude. The parachute scene with Mickey and Bugs. Also the ending.

 

[Salsa]

i'll watch it, but no WB? no Zemeckis?

I very much doubt this will be the Roger Rabbit we know

 

[Data West]

Has no WB been confirmed? I was hoping Lego Marvel Super Heroes was going to be the start of something big.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Its not Roger they care about
