Plot:
Bugs Bunny runs a nightclub during World War II. When he gets tangled up in a plot involving secret documents, he must choose between helping his old flame, Kitty Ketty, or maintaining his cherished neutrality.
Name and role:
This short needed to fill in the background of its nightclub scenes, so it brought in a whole bunch of Looney Tunes characters as bar patrons or workers. Among them was Giovanni Jones
Trivia and other appearances:
Some of his most memorable appearances include: Long-Haired Hare (1949), One Froggy Throat (1997) and Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run (2015)

Plot:
Basketball legend Michael Jordan teams up with Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes to win a wild basketball game against alien villains called the Monstars. The aliens stole NBA players' talents, so it's up to Jordan and the Tunes to slam, jam, and bring the chaos. It's sports meets cartoons in the most 90s crossover ever.
Name and role: Back then, it was complicated to animate all the well-known and lesser-known characters to create a big cheering crowd, so we mostly see what look like GIFs in the background: two-dimensional characters moving in a loop. Only in certain scenes, when the focus shifts to the audience, do we see real animations and well-crafted characters. Among them: Giovanni Jones and Michigan J. Frog
Trivia and other appearances:
In the scene, the two characters appear very close, I took the liberty of having Giovanni hold the frog just for the visual flair. However, the two actually did sing together in the Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries episode "Froggone It" (1997)
