From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maroon Cartoons is a fictional animation studio owned by Cloverleaf Industries, Formerly owned by conglomerate Maroon Corp. which appears in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit and related cartoons.

Led (and formerly owned) by one R. K. Maroon, the studio produced at least six shorts during the second half of 1940's, starring Roger Rabbit, Baby Herman, Jessica and Mother.

In 1947, shortly after a buyout by Cloverleaf Industries, Maroon was shot and killed before revealing to detective Eddie Valiant what Cloverleaf's motives were.

Somethin's Cookin is actually the introduction of the main movie, which ended abruptly due to Roger's blooper.

Following the release of the film, Disney and Amblin Entertainment released three cartoons under the heading of Maroon Cartoons for cinemas. The three released are shown in the asterisks above, and were later released in The Best of Roger Rabbit. Two more cartoons, Hare in My Soup and Cotton Swabs, were aborted due to disagreements between Disney and Steven Spielberg.

With the premiere of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, some cartoon posters that advertised these nonexistent shorts were released for collectors' market, creating some confusion by making some people believe that the studio did in fact exist.

The Big Cartoon Database has its own webpage dedicated to Maroon Cartoons, using the posters and fan submissions to create storylines for the cartoons.
