===Critical reception===
==Trivia==
*The TuneSquad outfit is different from the one used on the first film, being now blue with red and white outlines as well as a "TuneSquad" wordmark being written in red with white outlines with both colors alluding to the Looney Tunes opening/closing animation.
**The outfits were designed and provided by .
*Addressing the first movie's criticisms, Lola's design was slightly tweaked to give her a more modest look while still characteristically feminine as her personality was tweaked to be more expressive as a way to show she can be as "looney" as the males and other existing females like Granny and more prone to slapstick shenanigans.
**In addition, Petunia Pig (who was absent in the first movie), Penelope Pussycat (who was only seen at the audience), Granny and Witch Hazel (who were cheerleaders) are part of the team in this movie in order to give more female representativity.
*After the controversies surrounding the stereotypical traits found on Speedy Gonzales shorts, only to find out he has a huge fanbase in Latin America, the film's writers gave him a more major role on it while also giving him a racially accurate casting to avoid accusations of whitewashing.
*Due to the criticisms about his attitudes in the classic shorts, the film's writers deemphasized Pepé Le Pew's stalker traits, giving more focus on his supposed charming traits and his stench while also giving a more neutral attitude towards Penelope as she's given slightly more independence by being able to speak and having a personality.
