Trivia: The actors who voiced the toons would usually stand off-camera and recite their lines to help the live-action actors with their performances. Charles Fleischer, who voiced Roger Rabbit, had one peculiar demand, though - he asked the production to make him a full-size Roger costume to wear, complete with fur and big, floppy ears. He felt that dressing up in a (ridiculous and hilarious looking) Roger costume would help him get into character every day.

Trivia: At various points early in the writing process, both Jessica Rabbit and Baby Herman were considered to be twist-villains during the third act. Ultimately, the character Judge Doom was created and became the bad-guy as the script was further developed.

Trivia: They hadn't come up with the final design for Jessica during filming, so Bob Hoskins was told to just imagine his "ideal sexual fantasy" when picturing the character. Hoskins later remarked that the final design was actually sexier and more risque then what he pictured in his head.

Trivia: Tim Curry was almost cast as Judge Doom, and indeed, the producers found his performance genuinely terrifying. However, it was decided that Christopher Lloyd simply fit their vision of the character better.

Trivia: The first test-screening was a disaster. Most of the cartoon effects were incomplete (with many simply missing), and the crowd was made up entirely of teenagers who weren't told anything about the movie. When the film opened with a cartoon, they began leaving in droves, as they assumed it was a kids' movie. Those who initially stayed started to then walk out due to the film being hard to follow without the effects. However, later tests screenings went much better as more effects were finished.

Revealing mistake: During the climax, one of the weasels says "Toon Town's right on the other side of the wall, boss!" If you look, you can see a brick moving completely by itself behind him. It literally just pushes out of the hole in the wall as though it's being pushed from the other side. It seems like the other weasel was supposed to be animated pulling it out, and they somehow forgot to animate that part. (He does reach over and grab it for a split second... but then immediately lets go for some reason).

Trivia: Since Roger's voice actor Charles Fleischer would wear a Roger costume to "get into character," producers and executives from other productions who happened to see him would often mistakenly think he was the actual character that would appear in the final film. Evidently, it was a running joke at the studio for people to talk about "how bad the rabbit movie looks," since they didn't realise the finished film would include an actual cartoon character.

Trivia: A nice subtle detail you might not notice right away - in almost every single scene, Doom's cloak is lightly billowing, as though it has a perpetual breeze running through it. Not only is this a cute nod to the classic cliche of the "billowing cloak" many villains have in comics and cartoons, but it's also a very subtle "hint" that something's not quite right about him.
