The Roger Rabbit You Never Saw
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.
Nearly 200 Images from the unmade Darrell Van Citters Roger Rabbit, 1981-1983.
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.”

If you are feeling sad you should watch this through to the end. It is the ultimate cheerer-up of things. Really.

OKAY LISTEN UP UK, GERMANY, SPAIN, NORWAY, TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN. Httyd2 has not done as well as expected on opening weekend in America. This makes it our duty to make this film a massive smash HIT in our countries when it’s released. We need to knock it out the park. Dreamworks animation DEPENDS on us at this very moment. I don’t know about you but I sure as hell am NOT gonna let any kid grow up without this amazing company and exceptional original stories. BROTHERS, SISTERS, DRAGONS. STAND WITH ME AND MARCH FORTH INTO THE CINEMA. SPREAD THIS MESSAGE FAR AND WIDE. DREAMWORKS ANIMATION WILL NOT FALL. WE CAN STILL DO THIS.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
DREAMWORKS NEEDS US.
SPREAD THIS LIKE A WILDFIRE
This movie is being held back until early July here in NZ in order to tie-in with the school holidays here. Still, you can bet I will be in the theatre opening day to see it. :( I am so bummed to hear it had an awful start over in the states (especially considering all the hype I’ve seen).
I am so confused as to how a film I’ve heard nothing but love for has done so badly
FELLOW EUROPEANS, HARKEN UNTO ME
IF WE CAN UNITE TO GET HYPE OVER EUROVISION WE CAN DO THE SAME FOR THIS MOVIE
WE MUST RISE

If Stuntmen from the old movies don’t have your full respect then I just don’t know what to say to you
Yo this so much. At the advent of cinema these people were literally willing to die for their art. It’s crazy, and awesome.
Also if you find this awesome, people go check out a 2006 movie called The Fall, about a 1920’s stuntman’s stay in hospital after a stunt gone wrong.
man things were wacky before color was invented
is nobody going to mention that these are all the same guy; Buster Keaton, one of the sweetest and most creative men in film history who did all of his own stunts and directed almost all of his own films (until things went sour post-1928 but that’s another story)?
also in that last one he wasn’t supposed to miss the building; you are literally seeing a stunt going wrong, but they kept it in the film and built on it, extending the scene to having him falling down the building… after he’d recovered from the injuries he sustained, anyway
YEAH HOW ABOUT THAT
