Before Richard Williams directed the animation for Who Framed Roger Rabbit, there was an earlier attempt at Disney, from 1981 to 1983, to adapt Gary K. Wolf’s book “Who Censored Roger Rabbit.” Some of the scenes here are straight out of the novel. The director was Darrell Van Citters.
Disney 1981-1983. Animators: Mike Giamo, Chris Buck, Mike Gabriel. Paul Reubens as Roger Rabbit. Peter Renaday and Mike Gabriel as Eddie Valiant. Russi Taylor as Jessica. Unknown as Captain Cleaver. Screenwriters Peter Seaman and Jeffrey Price. Producer Mark Sturdivant.
While Roger was a villain in the book, trying to solve his own murder, this Roger is a loveable goofball in white fur and red overalls - a prototype for the final film. Baby Herman is glimpsed only briefly, and Jessica Rabbit appears to be the villain of the piece. Still, this version clearly laid some groundwork for the Zemeckis/Williams production a few years later.
The prototype Roger Rabbit appears cheering in the stands in the featurette “Sport Goofy in Soccermania.”

NBC News: The Justice Department intends to launch a broad civil rights investigation into the Ferguson, Mo., Police Department, officials said Wednesday.
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has been investigating the fatal shooting of Michael Brown for the last month, but the new investigation would look into the conduct of the entire department.
I feel like shit. Our management company violated our lease and let painters and cleaners in our apartment and a bunch of stuff got stolen. Most importantly my laptop and backup hard drive with 6 years worth of drawings on it. If anyone sees a 15” MacBook retina with 16GB of RAM on it for sale in or around NYC please email or message me.
Off-topic from Moon Animate because (1) Randeep and Anne are two of my very good friends who had their belongings stolen and (2) I am very goddamn angry this happened to them.
Randeep and Anne are two of my friends in NYC. I met Randeep when he was a story artist at Blue Sky Studios, Anne is his awesome lady in IT, and they are two of the finest people I know. They were moving apartments (after dealing with jackass after jackass as many New Yorkers can attest), and their landlords had let the cleaners and painters into the unit they were in the process of moving out of, the day before their lease expired, and without notifying Randeep or Anne. They were only gone for three hours between leaving the apartment and coming back, but Randeep’s laptop was gone. Six years of art, photos, professional work, and memories disappeared.
If you see a 15” MacBook retina with 16GB of RAM on it in the NYC area (Westchester and New Jersey too) that’s up for sale somewhere, please let us know ASAP. If you know any lawyers in the NYC area who specialize in this area, please let us know ASAP.
This is super infuriating. Randeep’s a friend of mine and I hope someone spots his stolen laptop :(
