Hey, guys. This is my third and final part of my What If scenario of Disney creating a shared cinematic universe starting from their hit film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In my opinion, the film helped spark new life in the animation industry as a whole and kicked off the Disney Renaissance. Without Roger, you'll never be able to see Ariel, Belle or Simba on the big screen. So to commemorate Roger Rabbit's success and his film going to 4K UHD Blu-ray in December, I'll finish the TCU saga with Vanessa Valiant's arc. The Toon Patrol 5 film at the end may be questionable and debatable on Vanessa's choices. So be on the lookout. And I'll later On today upload the 8th short to the Roger Rabbit's Wacky Toons. So be on the lookout for it. Anyway, let's get it.
======Vanessa's Arc=======

Takes place a Little after Rabbits At Law: Season 1.

Donald Duck himself might be caught in the middle as possible suspects of the identity of Dark Petal may be either Daisy Duck, Webby, Della Duck or a random fowl. Either way, Donald dons his personas Maui Mallard and Cold Shadow once again in order to figure out this mystery. It's kind of similar to a Batman classic dubbed "Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman". Darkwing Duck, Bonkers and Roger will assist in the matter.

Vanessa Valiant, Wreck-It-Ralph, Vanalope, Roger, Jessica and Mickey investigate this phenomenon with Ludwig Von Drake to help out. Guest characters of Nintendo, Sega, Namco, Capcom and other gaming companies appear in this flick. Unlike toons of 2D and 3D, the only way a videogame character dies permanently is outside of his or her game. So the Post-scnhabitants must be very careful of a virus that can glitch them to eventually killing them.

-

Not Only that, but also permanently shut down the 3D world and the Game World as well. The Toon Patrol must band together once again along with the Guardians and the game characters to put an end to the threat. Vanessa wants to take the next level with her toon partner with their feelings for each other but she's dealt with an issue that humans have with connecting to toons, they don't live forever like the toons or gaming icons after seeing Roger and the toons distraught and sad seeing the one man who saved their home long ago has died in front Of them being Eddie and his wife Delores. Despite her love for her partner, not Only does Vanessa have to assist in saving the world but make a decision after hearing about a rare chance of humans changing into toons permanently. This would be the deepest cap-off after Vanessa's growth as a character bonding with toons since the middle of the Monty saga as a child. Post-credits show a toon woman resembling Vanessa and the toon partner on a picnic indicating her decision to become a toon and help Out in saving her friends as a Valiant. Closing off the TCU saga as a whole with Cases of Toontown, Rabbits At Law and Wacky Toons to now fill the gaps.
Whew, that's a lot of films in the TCU to work with, eh? But that's my take on a storyline if a TCU were to happen. Heck by this point, everyone can enjoy 5 branches of Disney branded canons being the flagship Walt Disney Animation canon, the secondary Toontown canon, Pixar films, Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars. I'll leave it up to you guys whether or not this is milking too much or if you're fine with the idea as long as the plot, characters and setting are strong and cohesive to the best of the developer's ability.
Also, after Roger Rabbit 3 does Holly Wood from Paramount's Cool World would be a primary toon villain from there on after her debut in Roger Rabbit 4. Baseball Stars in the title is a nod to my favorite baseball game by SNK for their Neo Geo platform of the same name. In my opinion, if Disney and Amblin hadn't came up with a prequel based off of World War 2 and instead just make a sequel dubbed RR2: The Aftermath and/or Mickey and The Stooge, then chances are that a Roger Rabbit entry would be existing by now and their park attractions expanding beyond Cartoon Spin.
To recap, I tallied up the number of films in the whole TCU saga and after some suggestions from MenyDragon5 did I include DuckTales movie not the Rise Of FOWL taking place after Toon Patrol 1 and Magical Quest 3. A goofy Movie after Toon Patrol 2, Cool World after the events of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam and Looney Tunes back in action after Toon Patrol 2 and Toon Patrol 3 respectively. Now I'm not certain of Space Jam 2 though. But here's the tallied number of films and TV for TCU.
-Films-
14: Roger Rabbit
11: Mickey's Magical Quest
4: Maui Mallard/Donald Duck
4: Bonkers
3: Guardians of the 3D World
2: Darrkwing Duck
5: Toon Patrol
1: TaleSpin
1: Mickey and Roger prequel
1: Eddie origin prequel
2: DuckTales- If you count the mid-80s film and the what if sequel.
2: Goofy: A Goofy Movie and Extremely Goofy Movie after obviously the first but a little before Roger Rabbit 7.
-TV Shows-
DuckTales TV series: A little after Magical Quest 3
TaleSpin: Around the same time as DuckTales
Bonkers: After the events of Roger Rabbit 5 but before Roger Rabbit 6
Goof Troop: Somewhere after Toons in Time but before A Goofy Movie
Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers: During Bonkers and Goof Troop
Cases Of Toontown: After Toon Patrol 4
Roger Rabbit's Wacky Toon's A little after Toon Patrol 4 coinciding with Cases of Toontown
Rabbits' At Law: Sometime after a Lot of shorts in Wacky Toons.
Roger Rabbit shorts: After Roger Rabbit 3.
Roger Rabbit's Toontown: After Roger Rabbit 3 and some shorts
That's 50 films In the TCU canon and 10 shows. Now I'll squeeze in Darkwing Duck TV series a little after the DD film making it 11. I'm not sure where Mickey Mouse Works or House of Mouse fits In nor Quack Pack Disney wise. And I'm not sure of WB's masterpieces being Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and Pinky and The Brain either. But thanks for stickin' around but I want to say that Disney dropped the ball years ago when trying to come up with a sequel. But it is what it is, and with a rumored 2022 release of WFRR2 on the horizon, I'll reserve judgment for now. If the rumors years ago of Space Jam 2 starring LeBron James is happening then I won't underestimate this rumor either. Anyway, y'all sound Off in the reviews and in my PMs of what you think. As what Willie D says, No Mo' Talk. As always, LilMancub out and I'll see y'all In the next one.
