(Disney-MGM, 1990) A set of (34) original concept and architectural drawings for the unrealized Benny the Cab ride for a proposed Roger Rabbit-themed expansion. Accomplished in pencil and marker on vellum and onionskin paper, the drawings provide rare insight into the proposed layout of the entire Cartoon Studios land, as the Benny the Cab attraction was to serve as a tour. Tracing the evolution of Imagineering's conception of both the ride and the new park area, the drawings document intentions to carry through a movie studio theme, recreating Los Angeles area landmarks. Unfortunately, during development, Disney and Amblin Entertainment entered a dispute over rights to the character and the expansion was never realized. This rare set of original drawings is likely the largest body of material extant on what might have been. Ranging in size from 6"x12" to 35.5"x47.5", the drawings are in fair to very good condition in with some chemical bleed from permanent markers, browning, tears, corner loss, soiling, creasing, wrinkling, and handling wear typical of the medium.
