He genuinely cares about all Toons and has promised that in the event of his death, they will inherit Toontown, as stated in his will. And in this case, the thinking was Walt really liked those live-action movies that Ken Annakin directed for the Studio. Many sequences were storyboarded and some even animated for Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) but were then left out of the final feature film for a variety of reasons including cost and time issues, pacing and the fact that while they might have been clever or fun but were not really necessary to tell the story.
