The Daily Mail says Disneyland recently gave Jessica Rabbit a politically-correct makeover on "Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin Ride." The revamped ride features Jessica wearing a trench coat and fedora instead of her famous red dress from the movie. Disney Imagineers also removed a scene where Jessica was tied up in the trunk of a car. Many "Roger Rabbit" fans are worried that the Jessica Rabbit character will eventually be "canceled" altogether.
