It’s true! Especially given a) the technology they had at the time to pull this off, and b) that they had characters from TWO separate companies as opposed to different characters from the same comics publisher.

So yeah, Roger Rabbit wins the ambitious crossover award, hands down. Sorry Marvel.

The agreement with Disney and Warner Bros was that they could only use their biggest characters (Mickey and Donald, Bugs and Daffy) if the other corrosponding character had the exact same amount of screentime. This is why, in the movie, Bugs and Mickey are sharing scenes, and Daffy and Donald are sharing scenes.

It’s also worth mentioning that every single animator in the industry that wasn’t already working on something was called in to work on this film. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Oh, they got more than TWO separate companies’ characters.

They had Betty Boop, whose current ownership of the old cartoons is a weird quagmire and chain of sales (plus some in the Public Domain), but it seems the character proper remains under Fleischer Studios and King Features Syndicate.

Droopy Dog had the killer elevator gag, and he’s under MGM.

Woody Woodpecker shows up at the end, who was from Walter Lantz originally, and had been acquired by MCA/Universal shortly before Roger Rabbit.

Felix the Cat shows up in a photo but not animated, which… I couldn’t say what -if any- permissions would be needed for that but honestly Disney’d likely play it careful.

More cameos from outside Disney & WB were planned but didn’t happen, shown in a storyboarded but never-made scene of Marvin Acme’s funeral. Popeye, Bluto, Felix, and Tom & Jerry would have been there.

<3 THIS FILM IS A THING OF WONDER <3

honestly if a vampire ever “sparkled” in public no ones going to think they’re not human. they’re just gonna be like “damn that’s a lot of body glitter. man look at you being you, right on. you do you boo, freedom of expression.”

Vampires can go out in the sun now thanks to fenty body lava
