One of the most popular characters in the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988) era Jessica Rabbit. As a character it was a complete tribute to the concept of ‘fatal woman’ of Hollywood. However, as the story progresses it is revealed that he always acted innocently and sincerely wants to Roger.

Its highly sexualized design has always been controversial, and apparently Disney you’re ready to make a change.

Changes were made to Jessica Rabbit for an attraction

The company recently announced that it will update one of its tours at its theme parks. All to reflect greater sensitivity. This is how a change made to Roger Rabbit Car Toon Spin has generated controversy.

The idea is to remove the idea of ​​her as a ‘damsel in distress’ and a kidnapping victim, and reintroduce her as a detective. It doesn’t sound bad, however some fans are already alarmed by the “redesign.”

5 crossovers in the cinema that we remember

This comes out in a new poster that we share with you in this note and that can be seen in the line to enter the attraction. Can be seen at Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in a big trench coat and a fedora hat.

The image is accompanied by text that suggests what to expect from the remodeled tour. Some believe it means a complete twist on what some have known since January 1994.

Disney made her a private investigator

This says ‘Citing the recent return of the Toon Patrol Weasels as the main drivers of the sudden spike in crime statistics at Mickey’s Toontown, Jessica Rabbit has determined that it is time for her to throw her fedora into the ring by starting her own private investigations service.’.

So now she decided to become a detective, and the next part of the poster information cites her source of inspiration. ‘While taking inspiration from her old friend and legendary Toon Detective, Eddie Valiant, Jessica proves that she certainly means business’ says the rest of the text.

This supposed redesign that ‘teaches less’ is already beginning to be criticized by some who hoped to sexualize this classic character. Others never lack imagination and ensure that putting a trench coat on Jessica Rabbit it has the opposite effect, generating more sexualized thoughts.

Obviously, everyone has their own idea about this matter. This is not the first time that the character has changed his outfit, since in an animated short he appears as a nurse.
