Jessica Rabbit Reimagined In 9 Different Anime Styles In Crossover Who Framed Roger Rabbit Art

Jessica Rabbit gets reimagined in different anime styles with original new Who Framed Roger Rabbit art. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 Robert Zemeckis film about a cartoon rabbit who gets accused of murder, and then enlists the help of a private investigator to help prove his innocence. Who Framed Roger Rabbit featured a leading cast including Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Cassidy, Charles Fleischer, Stubby Kaye, Alan Tilvern, and Richard LeParmentier. The film won three Oscars, including Best Film Editing, Best Sound Effects Editing, and Best Visual Effects.




Now, new art from @nickocreates.ai shows Who Framed Roger Rabbit‘s Jessica Rabbit in multiple different styles. The artist showed Jessca Rabbit in a crossover mode with anime, taking on nine different anime styles. Underneath each version of Jessica Rabbit was the name of the anime from which it stems. The nine animes include Dragonball, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Cowboy Bebop, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and Demon Slayer.


In the caption for their post, the person explained why they chose to make AI art for Jessica Rabbit, writing “On my last poll, the winning answer was Mikasa from Attack on Titan, but I wasn’t really happy with the results so went with Jessica Rabbit since she was a runner up in a different poll.” The tools used to make this art included Midjourney, Procreate, Photoshop, and Lightroom.


What The Jessica Rabbit Art Changes About The Character

The Different Panels Bring Out Different Features

Jessica Rabbit is animated to begin with in the original Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which is a live-action and animated hybrid. The character is the human wife of Roger Rabbit, and is a highly sexualized figure within the movie as a whole. The character’s original style included hand-drawn, 2D animation, far afield from the anime style.


The art from @nickocreates.ai offers a very different take on the character. Even within the anime stylings themselves, the way in which Jessica Rabbit appears has starkly disparate manifestations. The vast majority of the images play up the character’s breasts, most notably in the Bleach imagining. The character’s outfit is slightly more contained in something like Cowboy Bepop, whereas other features such as the size of her eyes and nose have a lot of variation.

This Art Is A Reminder Of How Notable Who Framed Roger Rabbit Was

The Film Has Huge Stylistic Importance

Jessica Rabbit Cropped

Looking at these Who Framed Roger Rabbit images, I cannot help but reflect on how important the film was to cinema. Though the film is goofy at first glance, Who Framed Roger Rabbit was incredibly influential in mixing animation and live-action content. Now, we see that done all the time with CG and live-action mixed like this year’s If, but it was novel back in 1988. Jessica Rabbit is one key character in that Who Framed Roger Rabbit style, so it is fascinating to see her in a new light.
