Maroon Cartoons

Maroon Cartoons is a fictional animation feature production studio located in Los Angeles, California from the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It was owned and operated by studio executive R.K. Maroon (before his death) and produces many cartoon features daily. Among their most popular cartoons made are shorts starring Baby Herman and his co-stars Roger and Jessica Rabbit.
Among the most venerated production facilities in Hollywood, it is well connected with the industry's top studios (i.e., Disney, Warner Bros, etc.) and employs hundreds of animated characters and humans as well.
==1947 Cloverleaf Scandal==
In the spring of 1947, Maroon once tried to sell the studio to Cloverleaf Industries in what was considered one of the biggest real-estate deals in California history. Cloverleaf, (revealed to be owned by Judge Doom who murdered Maroon) however, hatched a scheme to profit from monopolizing transportation in Los Angeles. They attempted to acquire and dismantle the Red Car Trolley Line and the property of Toontown to build a freeway over it. However, once Marvin Acme's will was successfully retrieved, Toontown was safe from demolition.

==Trivia==
*The filming location for the Maroon Cartoon Studios is RED Studios Hollywood (formerly Desilu Productions and later, Ren-Mar Studios during the time of filming) .
* The opening title sequences used for Maroon Cartoons, as seen in the opening credits of the Roger Rabbit theatrical shorts, is an amalgam of the opening title sequences of both the Disney, Warner Bros. and MGM cartoons of the 1930s-1950s; taking the base opening credits format of Disney's classic Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck/Goofy/Pluto short series complete with the sunburst character headshot intros, the bullseye Color Rings background from Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes, the zooming-in character headshots very reminiscent of the zooming-in WB shield intro from Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes, and the opening credit "R.K. Maroon Presents "A MAROON CARTOON" in Color" reminiscent of the "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Presents "AN MGM CARTOON" in Technicolor" opening credit from the late-1930s/early-1940s MGM cartoons.
**In the original film, the "Somethin's Cookin'" title card with the "Directed By Raoul J. Raoul" onscreen credit is a reference to the title cards of various MGM cartoons of the 1940s and 1950s which depicted the director credits in their respective title cards.
*At the end of the film, it is unknown who took over R.K. Maroon's position as the studio's head following his death under the hands of Judge Doom.
