Many additional characters were planned, or at least considered, for inclusion in the film but were ultimately omitted or dropped due to legal issues and/or production limitations. Others managed to appear or make it into the final film, but were either cut out or replaced later on during production and development.

Many of those listed characters can be found in the storyboards for the unproduced scene of Marvin Acme's funeral.

Special Edition DVD Cameos[]

Numerous characters that did not make cameos in the film made a few on the menus of the Special Edition DVD.

Note: Most characters can be seen in the second disc.

(*) Denotes anachronisms; these characters (or, in the cases of characters such as Tinker Bell and Marvin the Martian, the animated versions of them that appear in the film) were created or adapted to cartoons after 1947. But as screenplay writer Peter S. Seaman said, "The aim was entertainment, not animation history." It has also been argued that the characters may have "existed" in the Toon world before being "discovered" and featured in real productions.

Trivia[]

  • There are some cartoon characters that didn't make a cameo appearance physically in the film, but are seen in photos and posters. Those characters are Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Lampwick from Pinocchio, Willie the Giant, Ham and Ex, Screwy Squirrel (who is also mentioned in the film), and Felix the Cat (who was also intended to appear in the film on his own).
  • The Dinosaurs from Fantasia, Mary Poppins, Piglet, Thomas O'Malley, Duchess, and Beaky Buzzard appear in the film, but only silhouettes of them were shown.
  • Some cartoon characters didn't have a cameo in the movie, but they are mentioned in it by other characters. Those characters are Alice from Alice in Wonderland (who was also intended to appear in the film on her own), Peter Pan (who was also intended to appear in the film on his own), Screwy Squirrel (who also appears in a picture shown in the film), Chilly Willy (who was also intended to appear in the film on his own), Dinky Doodle, and Raggedy Ann.
  • Some cameos were planned for the unproduced sequel, with a lot of them appearing in the first film (such as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, the Seven Dwarfs, the Hyacinth Hippo, Dumbo, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, the Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Sylvester, Tweety Bird, Yosemite Sam, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzales, Droopy Dog, and Woody Woodpecker) in addition to those who did not make the final cut (such as Chip and Dale, Pepé Le Pew, Petunia Pig, the Tasmanian Devil, Hector the Bulldog, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Rocket J. Squirrel, and Bullwinkle J. Moose).
  • There were also cartoon characters who made cameos in the Roger Rabbit shorts that were released some years after the movie. The characters appearing in the shorts are Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, The Mad Doctor, the Three Little Wolves (who were also intended to appear in the film on their own), Raggedy Andy, and Droopy Dog in Tummy Trouble; Clarabelle Cow, Pinocchio, and Ariel from The Little Mermaid in Roller Coaster Rabbit; Tinker Bell, Evinrude from The Rescuers, the Genie from Aladdin, and the Boy from Off His Rockers in Trail Mix-Up.
  • Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck also appeared with the Muppet Babies versions of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo, and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger (who were also intended to appear in the film on their own) in the anti-drug TV special, Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue two years later in 1990.
  • The novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? by Gary K. Wolf (the novel on which the film is based on) mentions original characters from American comic strips, including Dick Tracy (who was originally intended to appear in the film on his own), Snoopy (who was originally intended to appear in the film on his own), Blondie and Dagwood Bumstead, Beetle Bailey, and Hägar the Horrible.[1] Bugs Bunny also appears and other characters, such as Petunia Pig (who was originally intended to appear in the film on her own) are mentioned.
  • In the 5th issue of the comic series based on the film, there was an appearance of a character named Percy Pig, which shares the same name of the candy mascot "Percy Pig". However, the comic was published in 1990, while the candy product with the same name was created two years after, in 1992.
  • This marks Mel Blanc's final performance as the Looney Tunes characters in a full-length theatrical film. However, his overall final performance would be in the short Bugs Bunny's Wild World of Sports, which was released a year after Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
  • All of the characters from the Mickey Mouse cartoons appear in their designs from specific animated shorts in this film.
