Make sure to check this link out before reading further. This version of Jessica Rabbit is a bit too conservative. She has big boobs, but I like the more well-rounded (apple bottom) final design. She has a slightly darker side to her look. Not only that, but she now looks more like an animated Gianna Micheals than the skinnier frame in the original design. I hate the big eyes in the original design too. Like in the movie, Jessica seems to be a heel than a true babyface. They wanted her to lean more toward being a villain.
There were at least three early designs for Jessica. When you look at the three from in this site, I think the producers combined numbers 2 and 3 into the final Jessica design. They took the red hair and body shape from 2 and the face and eyes from 3.
Paul Reubens did the voice of Rodger Rabbit for the early stages. While I like Reubens's VO work, he wasn’t right for the character.
Side Note: While Gianna Michaels is the real-life Jessica Rabbit, I think Christina Hendricks will be perfect for the role in real life. Damn…
Side Note 2: If you do a search for Gianna as Jessica Rabbit, you get some interesting and spot-on NSFW results.
Side Note 3: It appears Jessica's hair would change shape depending on her mood in the early concepts. That doesn't seem to really be translated over to the final design.
