    Was it made by Disney, or is it just owned by Disney now?

    Because I highly doubt if Disney owned it from the start that they'd let WB in on it like they did.

    Made. Touchstone Pictures was never a real studio, it was essentially just a label slapped on projects deemed too 'adult' or 'risqué' for the family-friendly Disney brand.

    The fact that Disney and WB managed to get along for five minutes and let this happen is one of the most impressive things about it, and that's saying something.

    Don't worry, Disney still managed to be petty and screw WB over a bit.

    IIRC Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny had the exact same screentime, down to the frame

    Perhaps not as frame perfect as Mickey and Bugs, but Donald and Daffy share just about the same screentime with each other, as well.

    It was made by Disney because they bought the film rights from the original novel author back in 81. Film later released in 88.

    I believe, at the time, Robert Zemeckis was the "GO-TO" Director that Spielberg preferred when not helming one of his own movies himself.

    The agreement was that Mickey Mouse and Daffy Duck would share the exact same number of frames during the piano scene.

    You mean Donald and Daffy? Yes, and also Mickey and Bugs Bunny were to be on screen the exactly same total amount of time.

    Mickey and Bugs had a scene together later, when they were falling with Eddie in Toon Town and gave him a "spare". I think the agreement applied to that scene too.

    parent root
    1 points DerKyhe

    Yes, but overall in the movie also. They both have separate scenes at some points, but if you clock the time Bugs or Mickey is visible on screen in the movie, they both total to exactly same amount of time.

    at the end Porky and Tinkerbell join to combine their end of the cartoon bits, but of course Tink is mute. I wonder how they reconciled that scene.

    Far more entertaining than the dry, unbuttered toast of the actual Dragnet.

    Harry Morgan could have just read a police blotter on an empty set and it still would have been more entertaining than Jack Webb’s fascist copaganda.

    How is a show from the late 60s to early 70s where two detectives essentially do everything by the book fascist

    I'll give you a pass on copaganda because it objectively showed them being the good guys (it was originally released while the hayes code was running) so sure it's a mass media where the police are shown in a positive light. .
