Agree with you. Indeed the movie of who framed roger rabbit was a kind of alliance between disney and BW for stop the conflicts between both companies, however, disney adjudicated all (or part) of the movie saying was created 100% of his creation. This stupid action of stole and legal problems is in all the movies, starting with bambi (that is my excuse why I draw Bambis in anthro, lol).
Imagine if one day someone say "we want to see a second movie of Roger rabbit"... the question of the million of pesos (sorry, I´m mexican =P), who will do the movie? maybe you have the answer, I know you are a fan of this rabbit. ^^

I can only tell you what I know, but I do have it on good authority from a friend who works in the industry for one of the stuidos behind producing the Roger Rabbit movie (which was going to be a prequal, not a sequal), that after multiple screen testing using new technology to bring the animated characters to life, they are not happy with teh results, which may wind up in closing the production down because they are not confident of being able to do the movie justice. Sad but true.
Very nice drawing there.
Sad to hear they're making a sequel. It's an entertaining story, but you should look into the facts surrounding the original story. It is basically the genesis of the American way of life - fast cars, fast lanes, fast food, and slow commutes. The Red Car was real, and was actually bought out piecemeal by General Motors. GM officials were convicted of massive fraud and corruption, and each fine a mere $1000 or something pathetic.
Sadly, Disney has a habit of buying up documentary storylines and destroying them. I heard from the horse's mouth at National Geographic, when they called me to provide some consultation on a documentary about wolves that they had sold the rights to another documentary project they were doing about sled dogs to Disney. They turned the documentary into "Snow Dogs."
I have a lot of personal reasons to hate Disney, but I can still enjoy the brilliant character designs they come up with. And Roger Rabbit was a great concept. I actually own four copies on Laserdisc.

Scripts are traded around like crazy in Hollywood. Disney buys up scripts and movie projects and turns them into different projects.
It's a mess. If people knew what really went on in Hollywood they wouldn't watch movies. I personally avoid big studio movies like the plague.

In 1950, Osamu Tezuka (the guy who made Astro Boy) wrote another story titled "Kimba the White Lion". Which was the story about a young white lion cub and his journey to avenge his father's death (by poachers) and bring peace to the jungle.
About ten years later (1964), Tezuka met Walt Disney at the World Fair in New York, and Disney proclaimed how he wanted to create something like Tezuka's Astro Boy one day.

(Early concept art of The Lion King featured a white lion cub....to be Simba)
Although the storylines differ, there are still some striking similarities...

(screenshot from Kimba on the left, and The Lion King on the right)
Also, many scenes that are identical in composition and camera angle, and character analogues too!
Disney tried to play off the fact that the names of the two main characters are nearly identical as well, by saying that it was a coincidence because "Simba" means 'lion' in Swahili language. And now, all the online dictionaries and websites will say that it does. But I firmly believe that this word, Simba, has become a Kleenex example. By that, I mean when something becomes so popular, people associate the brand name with the product. Kleenex -> facial tissue or Vasaline -> petroleum jelly or Q-tip -> cotton swabs.
If you listen to the first lyrics of the song (the Swahili ones):
Nants eengonyama bagithi baba,
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama.
Literally means:
There comes a lion,
oh yes, it's a lion.
No mention of the word simba. >_>
Even the voice actor of adult Simba thought he was working on a remake of Kimba, since he loved the Japanese story.
The saddest part, is that Tezuka's production company denied any allegations that Disney paid them a lot of money to keep quiet about the whole thing. He even said that they rejected urges to sue because Disney is a superpower and their lawyers are top of the line, and they felt they were small and weak in comparison.
I sometimes feel torn because The Lion King is my absolute favorite Disney film and it meant a great deal to me while growing up...heck, I even named my first dog Simba! I'll never stop loving it, but I just wish Disney had the balls to at least tell the truth and give Tezuka some credit.

While this comment is off on a tangent and many years old, I agree with you. Disney had gone pro-profit without any regard for what the status quo needs to see. I used to think I could be an animator for them, but I've been told they're not as supportive about bringing people's dreams to life as they used to.
It's the same situation with Lilo and Stitch. That's got to be the only animated feature not to be based on a pre-existing children's story, but on a contemporary idea from an actual Disney employee, Chris Sanders. And then Disney didn't want his originality anymore and now he works for Dreamworks.

I wasn't aware they were working on a sequel surprised that's even possible I love the first movie so I'm not sure how well this will turn out I mean none of the original actors could be fit to do bugger all at this point.. ah well Guess we'll see anywho amazing picture as usual Zen kind of out of butt kissing comments to make about it's splender.
I'd be more excited if I learned that Richard Williams, the animation director for the first film, was on the project. But I read that Eric Goldberg might be directing it instead. I'm not very excited for that at all. I think that they should do all they can to put richard williams in this project, or the animation will be a bust.
"Dayz waaaat!!!" a sequel to WFRR I forgot they even made a miniseries but an actual sequel movie that's um sketchy but they better not mess it up I mean the guy who played eddie is pretty old now. I remember watching Tummy troubles off my old Honey I shunk the kids VHS and thought that was the sequel, awesome i hope they don't mess it up.
