Yeah.

FUN FACT TIME! Mickey and Bugs were fierce rivals back in the day. Both characters had funny and creative cartoons that were shown in theaters (back then, even 10 minute short cartoons were shown in theaters). But, the only movie, and maybe the only ANYTHING, that the two of them were both featured in was Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Disney and Warner signed a contract or somethin', saying that both characters wer to have the exact same amount of screen time, to the centi-second.

ANOTHER FUN FACT! Mickey wouldn't exist if it weren't for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt's first cartoon character, being stolen by Universal. Who knew bad luck like that would lead to the creation of the greatest cartoon character of all time? And one more thing, Walt was going to name Mickey Mortimer Mouse.
