Synopsis
In a world with toons, a depressed actor falls into a case of why the animated towns populated with toons are at war.

Plot
In 2022, Roger Rabbit rides Benny the Cab inside Maroon Studios and arrives at Stage 10. Jonas Fiction and his brothers, Joseph and Johnson, enter the movie set with Roger as the film is being set up—History of Fiction, starring Robert Art, Mickey Mouse, and the Fiction Brothers. After the film is finished, Jessica Rabbit gives Walter Marcus a card to meet her sister Helga Krupnick at Harper's, and Roger inadvertently slips on a banana peel and causes an accident on the set. Roger nearly gets fired but Cedric the Sorcerer repairs the set with his magic which gets Roger pardoned. The producers begin their last set of scenes of Wild Mongers. After the last scene is finished, Monkey Joe annoys Walter with his antics.

While exiting Maroon Studios, Walter bumps into Genie who gives him a joy buzzer that stuns a human in case of emergencies. Outside the gate, Walter waits for a cable car to arrive so he can board it to Harper's. During the ride, Walter looks at the buildings in Hollywood while reminiscing on his good days. The cable car arrives at the front of Grauman's Chinese Théâtre and the actor exits it, walking to Harper's next to the theatre. He then meets Helga (a waitress) and watches the entertainment. Slapstick, a CGI octopus, entertains everyone in Harper's but is suddenly crushed to death by an anvil, used by three toon weasels, much to the audience's horror and reminding Walter of Ro-Bert's death.

Development
The film was assigned to take place in 2022 and has electronic cigarettes and modern technology. The planner did a "Who is Fiction" assignment in English and decided to make fiction a movie with Jonas Fiction. The characters from DuckTales and Darkwing Duck had to be in their original designs instead of the reboot.

Animation
The animation in this film is a mashup of live-action CGI 3D, and hand-drawn 2D, similar to Once Upon a Studio.

Casting
The planner wanted to make a Disney movie starring Judd Apatow's frat pack and some professional comedians. Most of the existing characters appeared in this film so their respective actors reprised their roles as them. The planner had a dilemma about whether to choose Dan Castellaneta or Jim Meskimen as Genie, so he went with the latter because he sounded more like Robin Williams, who died. The planner also wanted a relative of Bob Hoskins to play a descendant of Eddie Valiant.
