As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

[OldNavy1988]

I have an idea for Roger Rabbit 3. What if Dr. Frankenollie decides to defeat RK Maroon for once and for all. So, he scavenges an old animation cel of Judge Doom with the weasels. He then calls Roger telling him he is RK Maroon and that the Maroon Studios is licensing out their characters to a new studio for television. One of the new studio's animators is a man named Jeff Krazylooney (a clear knockoff of John Kricfalusi). However, Roger figures out that RK Maroon is not RK Maroon with the help of Karen Sympathy and the Scooby-Doo gang (who unmask RK Maroon as Judge Doom before Doom says the line "I could have gotten away with it if not for you meddling kids and your dog!") Speed Racer soon appears as a getaway driver for Roger. Meanwhile RK Maroon and his son RK Maroon, Jr. reveal that they actually are working with a TV studio, and Speed Racer sends Roger to the new studios of Maroon's partner "Delray-Charles" (a takeoff of Grantray-Lawrence).

I was thinking that an equivalent to Grantray-Lawrence would be included in the third movie, and I actually enjoy this premise.

I did have 1969 in mind for the time that the third Roger Rabbit takes place. That, and maybe a brief epilogue before the credits set in 1974 with Daniel Abbott knocking on the door of Richard Williams' (Gary Sinise?) London office.

I was kinda hoping to save Krazylooney for a Bonkers movie later on. Otherwise Krazylooney would only be 14 during the events of the story unless we move the story to a later year.

That would be great! Do you think we can include a cameo from The Pink Panther?

I was kinda hoping to save Krazylooney for a Bonkers movie later on. Otherwise Krazylooney would only be 14 during the events of the story unless we move the story to a later year.

Here's a thought. Why not make a Roger Rabbit 4 that gives Bonkers the role of Roger's biggest Toon fan? I'm talking like owning all the merch, watching all the shorts and taking notes, and even dressing up as him for Halloween.

He gets assigned as Roger's deputy, and the Rabbit finally knows just how annoying HE was towards Eddie Valiant at first. Then, when Jack Kraziluni, an intentionally misspelled parody of John K., shows up and spreads rumors that his cartoons are the best, even though they are absolute pig slobber to witness, it's up to Roger and Bonkers to solve the crime. He's merely spreading false information like the local tabloids because he's probably just a Filmation animator at this time in his life, which is probably the mid-70's.

Then, in an epilogue of its own, we see Jack K. break out of the asylum six years later, which implies that once Bonkers gets his own movie a few years later, the bobcat will need some more help from those in Toontown.

da McMahon appoints Gabe Sapolsky, Jim Cornette and Paul Heyman to head the WWA following her husband Vince's conviction on steroid charges.
- Pro Wrestling Illustrated

Hulk Hogan's future with the WWA is now in question after the new regime takes charge.
- Entertainment Tonigh

Possible future for Hogan if he leaves the WWA: He goes back to New Japan, meets an executive at Toho films, and makes Ichiban vs. Godzilla.

 

[PNWKing]

I have a good idea. Have Hulk Hogan try to start his own promotion in collaboration with Pat Robertson and Phil Anschutz. They might find pro wrestling too violent for their taste, but it's possible that Hogan emphasizes the athletic aspect, and explains that the violence is just part of the sport and that the wrestlers are all friends with each other afterwards. (I actually don't know how true that was back in the 1990s.) In fact, Hulk could have easily seen puroresu in Japan while working for New Japan, and try and pull that as a style. In addition, he could always ban things like the chair moves or any move considered "overly violent".

1. What did Ivy Boudreaux think of the tribute to Colette St. Pierre on that Simpsons episode?
2. What are the top selling games for the Atari Wildcat?
3. Who are some of the sponsors of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays?
4. What movies has Kenner had a toy tie-in to?
5. Who are the top advertisers on All That?
6. Has Phil Hartman starred in any notable TTL-only SNL skits?
7. Who plays President Cuomo on SNL?
8. Did Floyd Norman do an interview for BET on the day of Walt's death?
9. Who else is involved with the planned Robertson/Anschutz network?
10. Does Stephen Hillenburg have any plans up his sleeves? (I get that OTL he probably didn't come up with the final concept for SpongeBob until 1998 or 1999, but he was probably planning the show as early as 1994-95.)
11. Who are some of the sponsors of the Roller Hockey League?

On SNL, Hartman played Joe Friday in the Dragnet spoof "The Cajun and the Canuck." Hartman also played President Cuomo in a few other sketches.

Floyd Norman's 1993 appearance on BET was actually a speech he gave to animation students at Spelman College, an HBCU in the Atlanta area.

Hillenburg at the moment will work on Shezow at MWS while pitching Spongebob to multiple networks.

Lastly, Ivy thought the tribute was very sweet.

RHL sponsors: Chevrolet, Jack in the Box, Dr. Pepper, Allstate, Rollerblade, CCM, Spalding, Miller Genuine Draft, Chevron.

Devil Rays sponsors: Tropicana, Budweiser, Southwest Airlines, Pepsi, Hess, Outback Steakhouse, The Sports Authority.

All That sponsors: Chuck E. Cheese, Lisa Frank, Atari, Play-Doh, Tiger Electronics, Galoob, Mattel

Kenner tie-ins: Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Xenomorphs/Predators franchise, Terminator, The Mask, Ghostbusters, Batman

1: Well, what do you know? Spicy syrup is on the menu!
2: Who owns the BET channel? Because if it's owned by Henson in this timeline, then the phrase "HBCU" is a bit funny in hindsight. Or foresight, depending on your POV.
3: You can't go wrong with Spongebob, no matter what the network is. However, I can say that broadcast television might have more problems with the show than cable TV.
4: As she should.
5: These sponsors are appropriate for their audiences.

Same thing happened to the Kingdome ITTL. Now, the Mariners and Seahawks have the leverage they need to get Safeco Field and Lumen Field built.

For 16 year old Daniel Abbott in the epilogue of Roger Rabbit 3, I have Paul Nicholls and Andrew Knott in mind unless there is someone else I may not have heard of that could be better.

As for who could play Richard Williams, I had Gary Sinise in mind, maybe Greg Kinnear, whomever is a closer resemblance but can still do a decent Canadian accent even for just one or two lines.

Probably Nicolls I'd go for. For Williams I'm not sure what to pick for this.

 

[PNWKing]

How about Jim Carrey for Richard Williams? He was born in Canada, and might, after TTL's Ace Ventura controversy want to look into serious roles.

Not to mention how animated he is in general, especially when considering his role as Stanley Ipkiss. There's a reason why Rob Paulsen post-Animaniacs was chosen to voice him in the animated series IOTL.

Is Disney planning to revive CinemaScope, just like Fantasound?
It would be nice to see more competition in the ultra-panoramic formats.

"Gus had a habit of putting a paper bag over his head on the set [of Clarissa Explains it All]. Whenever Bridgette would show up unannounced and get physical with the camera and sound crew, that was when the bag came on. Other times, Gus would try to hide in his trailer till she left. But he told the producers that there was one occasion during the making of another project that she tried to dislodge the door with a crowbar while he was in his underwear. Gus told me later that the whole paper bag thing really came from seeing other people wear them over their heads when he and Colette went with a relative to the Superdome for a Saints game many years earlier."
