==Appearances==
===Alice in Wonderland===
Bill is first seen walking with a ladder. He was eventually asked by the Dodo and the White Rabbit to get rid of the monster inside the White Rabbit's house. It was actually Alice who had grown large because of a cookie that she ate, and Bill refuses at first. When Bill is forced down the chimney by the Dodo, the smoke causes Alice to sneeze sending him blasting off into the sky. What became of him afterward is unknown, as he is not seen again for the rest of the film.
===The Great Mouse Detective===
Bill appears as one of Professor Ratigan's henchmen. He is first seen with the rest of the thugs and singing about Ratigan in the song "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind". He then watches sadly as his friend Bartholomew gets fed to Ratigan's cat Felicia for calling Ratigan a rat. When Basil and his assistant Dr. Dawson show up at Ratigan's lair, Bill along with the other thugs laugh at Basil and tie him and Dawson up. When the thugs tie up the real Mouse Queen and use the robotic queen to fool the crowd, Bill gives notes to Flaversham on what to say into the speaker of the robot mouse. When Basil, Dawson, and Olivia show up at the palace, they tie up Bill and the other thugs and the Queen has them arrested.
===Once Upon a Time in Wonderland===
===Other appearances===
At the beginning of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, when Eddie Valiant looks outside the window before Dumbo appears, Bill can be spotted helping someone out with a ladder.
The AJAX lizard delivery man in the Mickey Mouse Works cartoon "Mickey's Airplane Kit" resembles Bill.
In House of Mouse, Bill can be spotted with the Dodo during the opening theme.
He appeared in Novel Games Row Swap Puzzle on July 13, 2018.

==Trivia==
*Bill also appears as one of Professor Ratigan's henchmen in The Great Mouse Detective. He is never called Bill in the movie, but his appearance and clothes (and Cockney accent) are identical to that of Bill in Alice in Wonderland. The only difference in his appearance is that he does not wear his black coat in The Great Mouse Detective, whereas in Alice in Wonderland, he does.
*There is a character in the ABC show Once Upon a Time in Wonderland called "Lizard", which is a reference to Bill.
*In the original novel, Bill returned as a juror during the trial sequence, and his squeaky pencil irritates Alice so much that she steals it from him and he ends up writing his notes with his finger.
*J. Pat O'Malley was considered the voice Bill the Lizard.
