Today's Sequel / Remake news: Who Framed Roger Rabbit II? Empire online quotes Don Hahn, producer of the original:

So it'll be cancelled, then? That would make me happy. As much as I enjoyed the original at the time, that's enough, thanks. If Bob Hoskins returns, then maybe, but otherwise you can just smell something frenetic and throbbingly 3D and perhaps set on another planet, because research shows kids don't understand the concept of "The Forties" anymore.

Do you want one? Would some more RR shorts be enough, or was the rabbit the weakest part of the movie, he said, attempting to influence the direction of the conversation? Or is the entire movie overrated, and best left alone as high-point of pre-computer movie FX? Are there any more donuts? Glazed? Great.
