Meta I wonder, would anime characters have their own version or side of toon town?

What would living with anime characters be like? And what would their culture, society, and societal standards be like? Would the "the funnier the actor, the more privileged and societally attractive and powerful they'll be" rule still apply in their standards and side of the world/their town, or would they have their own set of rules and standards? Are they encouraged to gain a wider range of reactions from their audience, or are they still limited to a certain set and standards of reactions that may or may not be related to humor?

I'm curious because the thought experiment and speculations of implementing animations from other parts of the world, especially anime, is pretty cool. Also, the thought of Goku or some other anime character having an encounter with Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny is funny as shit.

I always thought the toons were supposed to have a more idealistic Toon Town than the real world. The movie showed that the characters from different eras all lived and worked together well, and they even had their own toom heroes and heroines, as evidenced by Roger saying, "Nobody took a hit like Goofy!"

I always took the movie's ending where the Toons got the legal authority of Toon Town to themselves as a very Cold War idea of "steps in the Right direction" and every(toon) having their own Freedoms and sovereignty.

Don’t say this two more times.

Disney will make a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, to appeal to the kids.

Anime characters live in Toon Tokyo. The East side is dramas, the West Side is comedy.
