At the end of that article, I started putting a few pieces of the puzzle together and predicted that, while Zemeckis will keep the 2D characters 2D in this sequel, "that doesn't mean other parts won't be in 3D," meaning he might try and combine motion capture CGI and 2D characters for the new Roger Rabbit.

... want to give her a nose.
So pretty much the sequel to Roger Rabbit is just going to be a motion capture film with some 2D characters. Zemekis has frustrated me with his motion capture addiction.

"And I couldn't dimensonalize Jessica even if I wanted to because she doesn't have a nose. We wouldn't want to give her a nose." But motion capture will be a part of Roger Rabbit 2.
