    It was a miracle this film was made. Considering they managed, back them, to get the license to use both Disney and Warner characters to appear _together_ is mindblowing even by today's standards. Not to mention the many challenges the whole team faced to make the traditional animation feel "3D" without the use of CGI; it just shows how much of a legend Richard Williams and his team were. And the practical effects to make the toons interact with the real world are just outstanding. We'll indeed never see this kind of thing again because I doubt Hollywood execs would be willing to invest so much; it just shows with the new Chip and Dale film, where ALL characters are CGI, even the supposed 2D characters.

    "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was made at a time when the majority of the licensed characters were not being used at all, and only seen in reruns. Even then, traditional animation was on the wane, even though animators who could do it were still, you know, alive. I think one of the secret, magical components of Roger Rabbit was that the whole team really loved the old Warner Brothers/MGM/Fleisher/TerryTunes films, and this was very much a labor of love. I believe this same dynamic is one we see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The films are made with genuine admiration and reverence for the original material. It's not material they liked, it's material that shaped the creators as artists and writers and filmmakers. It's very possible that the animators felt "This may be the last time anyone animates Betty Boop, or draws a 'painted hole in the wall' gag." and in those days, that was a real possibility.
    The film is truly a spectacular act of love.

    You forgot another reason: It would be virtually impossible to get all these different characters from all these different studios into one film again. It was a Herculean task to get the licenses and the profit sharing divided among the studios in a way they'd all agree to. That's why the scene where Eddie fell from the skyscraper is iconic. The mascots of the two biggest animation studios -- Mickey Mouse (Disney) and Bugs Bunny (Warner Brothers) -- share a scene together. Even then, they couldn't get everything. I don't remember any Hanna-Barbera toons in WFRR, and I'm sure I'm blanking on other omitted studios.

      Hanna-Barbera, as a studio, didn't exist in the '40s, so I doubt there was even any attempt at getting those characters into the film. Unless you're talking about H-B's stint as directors at the MGM cartoon studio. Tom and Jerry don't appear in the film, but other MGM characters do, so there must have been some negotiating back and forth that resulted in several 2nd-tier characters from MGM getting into the film. Perhaps MGM drew the line with Tom and Jerry.

      Several European countries have kept it around too, but both the European and Japanese productions tend to get relegated to the indie/arthouse or geek realms in America, so they don't quite have the same cultural presence and sway that a movie like Roger Rabbit would have over here. And America does still make drawn animation, just not in feature films as much now, sadly.
