Maroon Cartoons (aka Maroon Corp.) is an animation production studio located in Los Angeles, California and featured in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Overview[]
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 costars 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.
Cloverleaf Scandal[]
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, however, hatched a scheme to profit from monopolizing transportation in Los Angeles. The company 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.
