Doom is revealed to be the murderer of Marvin Acme all along at the end of the movie. Also, Roger had the will, the very thing which could have ruined Doom’s plan to dip Toontown and build a freeway over it. Therefore, he figured the rabbit [[HeKnowsTooMuch most likely also knew he was Acme’s killer and framed him for the crime to get rid of the only Toon they could foil his scheme.]]

[[WMG: Several Anime Characters have human DNA]]


That's what made them far more realistic than some toons, but there could be rumors that more realistic toons (superheroes) does also have human DNA in a way or another. No one tell this because otherwise ... chaos will erupt.

* Maybe there's also an alley off main Toontown that's a dwelling of anime characters travelled FROM Japan. That would explain why they've only acted in English relatively recently. Many toons disliked them and they returned the sentiment, only warming up over time--which may have led to toon/anime hybrids in a similar guess. Now it may be hard to distinguish them, like maybe Robin from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' is the son of the toon who played Batman in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' and a somewhat-realistic anime character such as the anime girl who played Sato from ''Manga/CaseClosed''.

In the beginning, there were human humans and hand-drawn-looking Toons, and [[Creator/RudyardKipling never the twain did meet]]. But then one day, someone got curious, and [[HalfHumanHybrid the result]] was something oddly in-between -- a CGI Toon. As this has become more common (and social attitudes have become more egalitarian), it's got to the stage where CGI toons can get cast as stuntmen and props alongside human actors without people batting an eyelid - and now they're even [[SerkisFolk taking starring roles]]. In fact, Hollywood may be approaching an extended [[BlaxPloitation CGI-spolitation]] period. In thirty years' time, WesternAnimation/ToyStory may well be viewed as this generation's ''Film/{{Shaft}}''.

Marvin was closely associated with Toon Town and therefore would've known about Valiant & Valiant even if he never engaged their services personally. After he became a target of Judge Doom, he confided in Jessica about it and gave her his will. When he saw Eddie Valiant show up, he knew he was only there for one reason: Jessica Rabbit. So he squirts him with his disappearing/repeating ink knowing that it would be a vital clue later.

They're a separate but closely related species. They ''can'' be killed like Western toons, but at the same time they'd possess much more physical strength. The anime version of Toontown, ''Anime-cho'', can be accessed via a tunnel off a side street in Akihabara. (It is believed that the area at one point had poor lighting, creating the need to evolve large eyes, and solar flares from their currently bright sun may have led to the development of [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair multi-colored hair]].) Investigations are still being conducted as to whether there is a direct connection between Toontown and Anime-cho.

* Going off this WMG, one would think for the Toon characters, whatever they're doing has to be fueled by RuleOfFunny. For anime characters, however, it relies primarily on whatever [[RuleOfCool looks the coolest]] or happens to be [[RuleOfSexy the sexiest]] or [[RuleOfCute cutest,]] three big defining aspects to Japanese anime. And that there would be, um... lots and lots of hentai bars in Anime-cho that make the sexualization of Jessica Rabbit look positively chaste, with things like lolicon, shotacon, vore, tentacle rape, yaoi, yuri, and so on. In fact, one could see humans going to Anime-cho simply to buy "services" with many of the characters, whether role-playing or sexual in nature, similar to legal brothels in the United States today. As a final note of WorldBuilding, one would imagine that there'd probably be numerous accidental PantyShots in Anime-cho, so be careful going there if you're female, because the world itself ''will'' conspire to somehow flash you to others. (Frightening or liberating? You decide!)

** Going further with the "appeal" of Anime-characters, usually by how human-like yet cool/lovable or other qualities they are for the fans, have been shown to be so huge and infective that humans tried to capture them now and then to claim them their own (nowadays dubbed Waifuism). Along with this is how much more difficult it is to monitor RuleOfCool than it is of RuleOfFunny, especially since manga and anime are more story-driven and giving such consistent yet impressive powers to {{Anime}} characters [[ComesGreatResponsibility comes with good degree of responsiblity]], from the author creating them and the characters themselves. Since the 80s, the Anime-equivalent of Toon Town has been sealed away from Humans, and has never been shown on public, leading to deep mysteries and debates on how it must be like - or if it even exists at all, if thinking back how many kinds of universes are out there that work by their own rules rather than mostly universal ones from Toons.

Roger claims that he couldn't have gotten out of Eddie's cuffs at any time, "only when it was funny." He ''literally'' couldn't have just removed his hand until a funny moment presented itself, [[FridgeHorror even to save himself from half-drowning when Eddie had him in the sink.]] Laughter is a Toon's purpose in life and when they are offered a funny opportunity they absolutely have to take it, even if it involves humiliation (Leena Hyena watched Eddie change the street line but followed it into the wall anyway), self-injury (until someone turned off the skipping record or [[OverlyLongGag the joke got old]], Roger wouldn't have been able to stop hitting himself with the plates in the bar), or ''their own death'' (Judge Doom couldn't have dodged that Dip to the face if he'd wanted to because the comedic timing was perfect). This explains Roger's seizure-like reaction while trying to hide from Doom's "shave and a haircut" routine: no matter how hard they try, Toons can't suppress the need to take advantage of a funny situation.

Also might explain why Toon Town is as crazy as it is - everybody and ''everything'' is playing along with every humorous scenario they encounter, dropping pianos and warping reality accordingly.

[[WMG: Anime characters are NOT a seperate race from Toons, but are mearly what Toons from Japan are called]]
Bit of an anti-theory realy. But I've seen this alot on this page.

It may seem like Anime characters are different to western Toons at first glance, but when you take into consideration western Toons like "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "Teen Titans", the dividing line between Anime and westeren toons is blurred to the point where the ''only'' real diffrence is Anime are from Japan and other chartoon characters aren't.
