Live Action/CGI Rescue Rangers Movie In The Works - Another one

[A Grey Cat]

This guys name randomly crossed my mind decided to check and see if he's still alive /active and low and behold.

And to the shock of no one he shills for this crap and actually liked it. I can't say coat is a cow cause it's just one guy's opinion, but I can remember YEARS ago when he was just a clean shaven teenager. He actually made a video on unmade Rodger rabbit sequels. He actually came up with an idea for one himself and it was legions better than whatever the hell c and d 2022 ended up being.


In case anyone's curious Mr coat basically said. Have it take place in the late 90s early 2000s and be about the cgi toons taking work away from the 2d ones. Based on a line Betty boop made on the og Rodger rabbit about "work being kinda slow with all cartoons being in color. " since the og Rodger rabbit was an allegory for disenfranchisement AMD gentrification a sequel to it could be an allegory for the rise of cgi animation and the fall of traditional animation.

It would admittedly be really difficult to sit a mentally stable person down and get them to understand how pairing the fly with the sexy mouse advances the Jews' agenda. But that's the Jews for you, they're quite subtle and devious in their evil designs.

The concept of a fly screwing a mammal and giving birth to maggots should still be abhorrent. Something out of a B-horror movie. Or "The Fly"

 

[Safir]

Am I the only kid who didn't give a flying fuck about the Rescue Rangers growing up? Seriously, Disney shit held very little interest to me and I would only watch it when nothing good was on. Only Disney shows I ever gave half a crap about were DuckTales and Darkwing Duck.

Rescue Rangers was the only Disney show I gave half a crap about. I don't like furry shows in furry worlds but I love the notion of little people (furry or not) going about their lives in the real human world, it lends a sense of wonder IRL without the emofaggotry of urban fantasy. Plus, making fun imaginative things out of garbage used to be THE essence of childhood for centuries.

a flying fuck

That's an unfortunate turn of the phrase considering the thread.

What about Gargoyles?

IIRC Gargoyles had an ongoing plot and you had to catch every episode in sequence to follow it.

Frankly a part of me wants to believe that the "joke" was a deep and important sounding voice coming out the mouth of a character originally known for speaking only in squeaks and chirps, since it is a fairly common joke to make.... Then I remember the hacks who wrote this crap aren't talented enough to pull of that kinda humor.

It's the opening joke of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which explains the concept of living toons. Baby Herman is the character.

In the case of Baby Herman, it helped that his first words out of the act, which had consisted entirely of baby-like babbling, were yelling, in the voice of a middle-aged man, "What da hell was wrong wit' DAT take!?"

Basically, from what I'm hearing, this movie is just an inferior rehash of Roger Rabbit.

The more I hear about this movie, the more I hate it.

"The problem is I got a 50 year old lust and a 3 years old dinky."
Seriously, that old man was fucking hilarious. He's supposed to be an old school character and his age shows in his personality. That was the brilliance of the joke.

Speaking of Roger Rabbit and cartoon characters getting cucked.

Spoiler: NSFW

View attachment 3309117

Jessica cucking Roger is canon, as much as anything can be canon in Gary Wolf's disjointed, incoherent novels. Jessica and Roger also play "gender bender," which is exactly what you'd expect. Their bizarre relationship is probably the one redeeming feature of the post-Censored books, but there's very little of it.

Man, this is all making me want to watch Roger Rabbit again. I find myself looking back and appreciating it a hell of a lot more now.

Oh shit. It went beyond "Patty Cake"??

I thought Censored was pretty interesting but disjointed and kind of incoherent does describe it pretty well, the solution to the mystery makes no sense and feels more like a joke than a legit mystery story.

It was fascinating how it was a grittier, more adult take on the idea, like the detail that Jessica Rabbit does Tijuana bible porn on the side, it was also, not trying to be Woke, very blatantly racist, the "toons as minorities" idea is even more blatant and it doesn't come down on the side of the toons, Eddie doesn't learn a lesson to be more tolerant, he learns he was not right to trust toons.

Very strange novel all around, disappointed to hear the others aren't worth reading.

Censored is the best and most coherent book. There's a bit of fun world-building around the logic of toons and their interactions with humans. The humor is reasonably droll (I drilled into my desk drawer and struck whiskey). I don't think the racism in the book is portrayed positively, and Eddie is fairly kind to Roger, all things considered. The teapot thing kind of comes out of nowhere, but it's Wolf trying to put a cartoonish spin on a noir MacGuffin. With better worldbuilding I think it would have seemed more natural. And I liked Eddie's final confrontation with DeGreasy's murderer.

In Plugged he moves everything to the 1940s and uses the movie versions of the characters, though they still speak in word balloons. He also imports dip. But other elements of the film are missing or unrecognizable: Eddie's brother has a completely different backstory, there's no Delores, etc. The anti-toon racism thing is dialed down, but Eddie has a toon cop brother-in-law he doesn't get along with. Jessica casually mentions a dream she had about a teapot and doppelgangers, so it at least acknowledges Censored. Wolf likes pairing Roger up with real life actors, and I think this one had Cary Grant.

The 1940s setting continues through Waacked. Wolf forgets a few things from Plugged but who cares about continuity. The story takes place almost entirely in Toontown, because Wolf loves the wacky. Instead of Cary Grant we have Gary Cooper. I liked this take on Roger, I think Wolf gave him more personality here. The story hangs together better than Plugged, I think.

I'm about 100 pages into the new Jessica book. He's changed the setting again so it takes place in 2022. Everything so far has happened outside Toontown and I don't think toons exist, but it's full of toon gags anyway. (Maybe there's a twist and the whole thing is a Jessica Rabbit movie?) There is a sexism theme that might work in the 1940s, but it's out of place in the modern setting. This is also one of the worst edited books I've ever read. I assume Wolf didn't actually avail himself of an editor or a proofreader for this one. Either that, or the editor took his money without doing any actual work.

There's an audio book of Censored that's pretty good. I don't normally listen to audiobooks and it's weird hearing a man read Carol Masters and Jessica Rabbit, but it is what it is. Roger's voice is pretty good, more James Stewart than Charles Fleischer. I just noticed Plugged and Wacked have been released as audiobooks with the same narrator. I might give them another try. Maybe they work better in this format.

I'm not sure what Gary K Wolf's intent was with the racism angle, whether it was portrayed positively or not, entirely possible it's meant to be negative but it's not as obvious as the movie.

In Plugged he moves everything to the 1940s and uses the movie versions of the characters, though they still speak in word balloons. He also imports dip. But other elements of the film are missing or unrecognizable: Eddie's brother has a completely different backstory, there's no Delores, etc. The anti-toon racism thing is dialed down, but Eddie has a toon cop brother-in-law he doesn't get along with. Jessica casually mentions a dream she had about a teapot and doppelgangers, so it at least acknowledges Censored. Wolf likes pairing Roger up with real life actors, and I think this one had Cary Grant.

I do remember hearing that Censored is implied to be a dream and that second novel is more of a sequel to to the movie with the same time period, where Censored was clearly supposed to be set in the early 80s with reference to Eddie watching TV.

The 1940s setting continues through Waacked. Wolf forgets a few things from Plugged but who cares about continuity. The story takes place almost entirely in Toontown, because Wolf loves the wacky. Instead of Cary Grant we have Gary Cooper. I liked this take on Roger, I think Wolf gave him more personality here. The story hangs together better than Plugged, I think.

One big difference between Censored and the movie is I'm pretty sure there's no Toon Town in Censored.

I'm about 100 pages into the new Jessica book. He's changed the setting again so it takes place in 2022. Everything so far has happened outside Toontown and I don't think toons exist, but it's full of toon gags anyway. (Maybe there's a twist and the whole thing is a Jessica Rabbit movie?)

Oh wow, I wasn't aware there was a new one or audiobooks.

Isn't it fascinating that this fairly obscure author nevertheless has characters he created as part of the Disney canon alongside Mickey Mouse etc, even making appearances in the theme parks?

Especially ironic given the origins in a novel geared towards adults, with like I said references to Jessica Rabbit doing porno.

You make the other books sound worth reading, if flawed.

I don't think the anti-toon racism had much intent behind it. I think was just a bit of uncomfortable honesty about human nature, an exploration of real issues and attitudes under a veil of fiction. Maybe it was also an allusion to a trope from the hardboiled/film noir genre? I remember Jack Nicholson feigning antisemitism to elicit information in a nursing home....

Give the other books a shot. They used to be a rarity but they're print-on-demand now. And their oddball humor and clumsy execution give them a kind of outsider charm. I just wish he had a developmental editor and a proofreader.

 

[AnOminous]

Is it bad that I thought it was ok?

Reminds me of Space Jam 2 last year which everyone was shitting on and I also thought was reasonably amusing.

I mean “reasonably amusing” is all you can say, it’s certainly not a great movie.

GET OUT GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I think you're right, it's just a film noir esque detail and added bit of realism to ground the fantastical premise because of course people would be prejudiced against toons.

GET OUT GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

You know it's going to be interesting when AnOminous quotes you.

The movie is what it is, The Lonely Island dudes' take on Disney, I thought the whole angle with "bootlegging" was kinda clever a take on the whole "cartoons in the real world" thing and there were enough agreeably strange moments and idea that for something so disposable I was entertained enough.

Keep in mind, I think I'm easier on something that's straight to streaming, certainly this movie would have had no business being in theaters and if I had payed for that I wouldn't have liked it.

But you can also say this style of humor is pretty dated, what was funny in 2009 is definitely losing it's novelty in the 2020s.

 

[The Lawgiver]

Jesus it'sbeen 20 something years since this but yeah
This movie exists and now has brought this back to my mind.

 

[Marissa Moira]

This feels like the spiritual successor to Cartoon All-Stars to The Rescue except everyone was on drugs.

It was less of a Rescue Rangers movie and more of a Rescue Rangers reference.

Haven't seen the movie yet but from reviews from people I know that have it really seems like a big budget version of those old parody animations people used to make with no fucking care for copyright claim bullshit. The fact something like this was allowed to be made is kinda funny to me.
Also, are you entirely sure the cartoon all stars cast wasn't on drugs to begin with? Sure, they arent friends with the sentient crack cloud guy but you cannot tell me that fucking michaelangelo and garfield weren't on something.

I wonder how many kids actually sat through it back then, and how many changed the channel to cable/satellite or god up and played outside when they found out they'd been had and it was an anti-drug PSA? Curious because I was alive but don't even remember the damn thing.

I rented the movie from Blockbuster a few times as a kid. It was just fun to see all the characters interacting and all.

Had more of a plot and purpose than this new crap, I’ll say that.
