Following the massive success of 1988’s Who Frame Roger Rabbit, Steven Spielberg was tapped to produce a sequel titled Roger Rabbit: The Toon Platoon, which focused on the zany cartoon rabbit’s early years, including his enlistment in the army during World War II. However, after directing Schindler’s List, Spielberg left the project. In 1997, the sequel was revived as Who Discovered Roger Rabbit, and the script was retooled to center on Roger’s rise as a star on Broadway and in Hollywood. Unfortunately, test footage screened in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, which featured a mix of traditional animation, live-action, and CGI, failed to impress Disney, and the film was canceled.
