Info:

Roger Rabbit:

As I delved deeper into finalizing the 'modern' Roger Rabbit design, I realized that he lost some of his rabbit-ness. So to not lose that detail and keep true to his character and origins, I thought of adding it in via the ears on their clothing/attire. I’m currently thinking of giving her the name, “Ronnie”.

Toon Patrol:

Next was who'd fill in the role of the weasels as the henchmen/minions? In the film they were based off the weasels featured in Disney's 'Wind in the Willows' segment of "The Adventures of Mr Ichabod and Mr. Toad" as the bad guy's lackeys/thugs, being depicted as crafty and a sly bunch. Afterwards, they've made multiple appearances taking various roles in Disney related material usually as crooks, in legitimate professions but w/ rather shady intent/practice, associate w/ the villain as henchmen or act as the antagonists themselves, ever since. An additional factor was that they came in small or large numbers and all look near identical, aside from a few differences usually in their attire or have a key physical features or two, to each other. It seemed, to me, the best candidates for their modern equivalent were the rubies from Steven Universe as they served basically the same role as do the weasels and the Toon Patrol (even down to there being five notable ones and having names relating to a physical/personality trait) and are in abundance. For the "Laughing themselves to death" bit, I'd change it around and have the cause being that they'd "Crack themselves up" (aka their gems crack/shatter) from the laughter. Why does Smart-Ass's stand-in have their gem placed down where it is? Well, it has to do with a line change idea. When Eddie (their modern stand-in anyways) would do the "Sing and Dance" routine his line be changed to: "I'm tired of all you fools! Let us finish up these duels! Without that gun I'd have some fun and kick ya right in the family-!" *bonk* "Nose!" "Nose!? That don't rhyme with duels!" "No, but this does." And proceeds to kick 'em in the groin aka the "family jewels" (get it?). Another factor is that, as 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' was more adult in tone and humour, the same would be applied here in this take. Cause you all know that there'd be Gems w/ gems in rather *ahem* interesting places. The only reason they never showed Gems w/ those sorts of gem placement in the show? Cause censorship. Here it'd be lifted so yeah.

Jessica Rabbit:

For the 'Jessica Rabbit' character. To keep w/ the tropes of modern western animation I looked to the "anime-not-anime" trend that shows such as Teen Titans, the Airbender/Korra series, Voltron: Legendary Defender, She-Ra, a majority of the newer DC animated films/shows, and as well as others that are heavily influenced by/or reference the genre, such as Steven Universe. As she was based on what would be seen as attractive by cartoon standards (being based on animated woman of the animation 'golden age' such as Red from "Red Hot Riding Hood" by Tex Avery for ex.) the same should be applied for a modern interpretation. Since Roger Rabbit is depicted as a cartoon teen protagonist here, Jessica was aged back to match closer. As Roger and Jessica have a noticeable contrast to one another in personality, art style and how they're drawn (Roger w/ a more goofy and traditionally "cartoony" look and proportions w/ Jessica having a more human-like, but still cartoony, one) it was another factor. Additionally I've added in this take was, w/ the rise in same sex couples depicted in western animation, have Roger be changed to a girl toon (as well as reasons explained above/in the last post) as I figured that it too lines up w/ the still current "goofy, but lovable one + seemingly apathetic, but sweet on the inside one" couple trope that is still alive and kicking.

Benny The Cab:

Now this one was a real doozy and rather difficult as I only found very few examples of what Benny could be w/ modern cartoon influences as he was based off old cartoon cars of the era the film is set in. Kinda cheating w/ using the Mystery Machine as it's from the 70's, but my excuse is that I picked out the images from the more recent Scooby Doo material. For his personality though, one that came close was Jake the Dog from Adventure Time. That lead me to make the "stretched limbs" connection: Jake's limbs such as his legs; and Benny's wheels when escaping the weasels. One other close comparison was when Amethyst turned into a tiny car. Her loud personality also being a potential candidate as a possible influence. First I tried just updating Benny's design for modern day. Later, while thinking of the Jake the Dog comparison I thought back to that early 2010's era and remembered the "LOL Random humour" phase cartoons of the time went through. Which led me to think of making Benny into either: a car in the shape of a hotdog w/ a dog's face or just a dog-themed car. I guess you could say that this make it a play on "Roadster" (a type of "roof"-less car) + "Rover" (a name given to dogs) and cause he'd "fetch" riders to give them a lift. Idk.

...

Artist's Note: Why yes, I did put a freakishly scary amount of time and thought into this. : P I'll be getting into the new plot changes and details and all that in the next entry... whenever that is. Well anyways, hopefully you all understand or get what I've been rambling on about here. : P Let me know what your thoughts are on this concept. Thanks. 👍
