Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie is the first (and only, as of 2023) time cartoon characters from Walt Disney and Warner Bros. have appeared together on-screen.
- GoofsThe Hollywood sign is visible through Eddie Valiant's office window. In 1947, the sign would read HOLLYWOODLAND, the "LAND" part of the sign was taken off in 1949.
- Quotes
Jessica Rabbit: You don't know how hard it is being a woman looking the way I do.
Eddie Valiant: You don't know how hard it is being a man looking at a woman looking the way you do.
Jessica Rabbit: I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.
- Crazy creditsPorky Pig closes out the movie telling the characters "That's All, Folks" and then saying the same thing to the viewers. Tinkerbell then appears fading the entire screen to black.
- Alternate versionsSome versions include an extra sequence (called the "Pig Head Sequence"): Eddie Valiant had gone into Toontown, ambushed by the weasels and had a pig's head "tooned" onto his. He went home and took a shower during which Jessica walks into his apartment. This scene was cut from the original release, but did appear in theatrical trailers and a television broadcast. A scene cut from the theatrical version where Jessica rolls up her dress to reveal her stockings as she sits cross-legged is included in this sequence.

Featured review
Extremely impressive on a technical level
It's amazing that this movie exists; a live action-animation hybrid that serves as a love letter to classic cartoons; both Bugs and Mickey. Very fun movie.
