Here's some more exciting news about it. They were filming the DVD menus at the same studio where they filmed the Maroon Cartoon scenes.

And here's the biggie:

Charles F. will be back to reprise his voices!!!!!!! I'm sooooo glad Disney did right on that one. (There is supposed to be a new RR short included on the DVD)

Yes, it called the making of Roger Rabbit, which follow Roger through the proccess of making the movie. Benny is your guide for the DVD.

TOO KEWL

One thing though: Does anyone know if they will be including the special called "Secrets of Toontown", a documentary that came out around the time of the movie, and had interviews with some of the folks who made the movie (especially the voice artists, like Mel Blanc)?

Or is that the "Behind the Ears" feature, just renamed?

I remember seeing that special, and would love to see it again. I'm hoping it's included on the DVD, no matter what they decide to call it. I remember them showing the stages of Jessica's performance animation (the final step being the lighting and computer generated sparkles...) and shots of Bob Hoskins driving around in a little go-cart that would later be painted over as Benny.

Can't wait for this DVD!
