Following the success of the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, naturally a sequel was planned… a sequel that was actually a World War Two-based prequel, going by the title of Roger Rabbit II: The Toon Platoon.The project eventually fell through, but the script says the film (linked here) would have covered Roger’s hunt for his biological mother after his human adoptive parents reveal that he’s a Toon, his meeting with radio star/future wife Jessica, cameos by FDR, Churchill and Stalin, and Roger’s trip to Occupied Europe to rescue Jessica after she’s kidnapped by the Nazis, who intended to force her into a propaganda role, a la Lord Haw-Haw or Tokyo Rose.Oh, and film also revealed of who Roger’s dad was…According to Yesterworld Entertainment, Steven Spielberg was originally planned to direct but decided to pass due to the comedic depiction of Nazis.I’m… Actually kind of curious how this would have gone, as an early moment in Who Framed…  included some details from this approximate period (the film takes place in the late 1940s roughly a decade after Toon Patrol would have been set) during an early sweep of human protagonist Eddie Valiant’s office.Some of these moments including the reveal that Eddie and his brother apparently saved Donald Duck’s nephews from a kidnapping and the brothers helping clear Goofy from being falsely accused of being a Nazi spy, which is kind of funny.BONUS FACT: In addition to being a successful radio actress prior to Roger even starting his showbiz career (his getting his first job in a cartoon is another event covered in the film), we also learn Jessica’s maiden name: Krupnick. Which means that, in universe, Jessica might be Jewish apparently? -- source link
