That kind of success would immediately force today's Hollywood to just replicate the formula until nobody could stand it anymore, but old Hollywood valued artistic integrity over a quick profit, right? It didn't, it's just that Roger Rabbit just wasn't repeatable. It grossed over $350 million dollars, so much that we won't even bother saying how much more that would be in today's just-as-fake but somehow weaker money. Then, 1988 saw the release of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the animation and live-action crossover masterpiece that starred a forgotten character and made it peace ambassador in a world where Disney and Warner Bros could happily coexist because director Robert Zemeckis delivered on the promise of giving characters from the two ever-warring studios the exact same amount of screen time.
