In the 1988 live-action/animated comedy "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", Bugs appeared as one of the inhabitants of Toontown. However, since the film was being produced by Disney, Warner Bros. would only allow the use of their biggest star if he got an equal amount of screen time as Disney's biggest star, Mickey Mouse. Because of this, both characters are always together in frame when onscreen. "Roger Rabbit" was also one of the final productions in which Mel Blanc voiced Bugs (as well as the other "Looney Tunes" characters) before his death in 1989.
