Bob Hope appeared in some Famous Studios cartoons. I know he shows up in "Popeye's 20th Anniversary" and in Little Audrey's "The Case of the Cock-Eyed Canary".

He also appeared in a few "Animaniacs" episodes.

[J.E.Smith]

He was also in the Tiny Toons Christmas special.

"I'm the ghost of Christmas past. I tell ya, I've seen so many Christmas pasts, I've had camel riding lessons from the Three Wise Men."

He was also in the Tiny Toons Christmas special.

"I'm the ghost of Christmas past. I tell ya, I've seen so many Christmas pasts, I've had camel riding lessons from the Three Wise Men."

He's also in two early Famous Studio Popeyes -- "Happy Birthdaze" (where Shorty pulls out a very big pistol after being told he looks like Hope) and "We're on Our Way To Rio" (where Bob is given a cameo as the nightclub's band leader in recognition of cribbing the cartoon's title from the Hope-Crosby Road pictures).

Bob and Bing, along with Jerry Colona, also get to sing one of the choruses of "Swinging on A Star" in the 1947 Little Lulu "A Bout for A Trout."

Since Hope was under contract to Paramount at the time, it made sense that he would be used the most in Famous Studio's pictures, though it was a Warner Bros. director, Frank Tashlin, that actually got to write and direct the real Hope in films like "The Paleface" ans "Son of Paleface" when he was at Paramount in the 1950s.

Although he wasn't animated, Hope was also a member of the "Special Cabinet" in "Olive Oyl for President"

Bluto also pulls out a "Crosby" chest behind his "Hope" chest in "The Island Fling"...

Ya know, it's kinda surprising that Hope never made it to a classical Warner Bros. cartoon.

Also isn't "Socko in Morocco" a title spoof of 'Road to Morocco" which had both Crosby and Hope.....

Hope, Crosby, and Colonna also appear as babies in the dream sequence of Little Lulu's ""The Baby Sitter".

On "Taz-Mania", Taz's father is an anthropomorphic Bing Crosby caricature named Hugh. It turned out in a few episodes that Hugh had a brother who was a caricature of - Guess who?
