Now what rejected ideas from the first movie do you think should be incorporated into the sequel?

Like here are some of the rejected ideas from the first movie:
 * One of the early drafts of the film called for Jessica's act to have a cameo of Tex Avery's Wolf to be seen doing similar reactions during Jessica's performance at the ink and paint club. Sounds like this would have been a tribute to Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood, his best known MGM cartoon.
 * In an early draft of the script, it would be revealed that Judge Doom was actually the hunter who killed Bambi's mother.
 * Which may have been intended to be a Mythology Gag from the original novel, which contained a throwaway line implying Bambi really did have a mother who was murdered by someone.
 * An early draft of the script included Marvin Acme's funeral, which would have been attended by such characters as Popeye, Tom and Jerry, Andy Panda, Heckle and Jeckle, Superman, Mighty Mouse, and Casper the Friendly Ghost. The scene was dropped due to inability to secure the rights to the characters.
 * This scene would happen after Eddie left Roger at the bar and before snooping in Jessica's dressing room. The scene would have also included Eddie spying on a private discussion between R.K. Maroon and Judge Doom which further raised Eddie's suspicions of former's involvement.
 * According to IMDb.com, the song that was going to be used as the movie's musical finale in an early script that had Roger die during the final shootout between Eddie Valiant and the DeGreasy brothers was "The Lazarus Heart" by Sting (though the song was written in tribute to Sting's late mother), before the studio changed the ending to have Roger live. The song would ultimately end up on Sting's second studio album, ...Nothing Like the Sun, released a year before the film.
 * Also, in the early script, toons weren't immortal and could get killed by any kind of attacks like in the book. This, too, was changed to the fact that toons can only be killed by the Dip.
 * In the third draft of the script, instead of Doom dipping the shoe, he was to dip a gopher for bumping into him and soiling his coat. When the gopher complained that he should get a trial first, the weasels take out a briefcase containing a literal Kangaroo Court that immediately declares him guilty, with their joeys holding cards spelling "Y-O-U-A-R-E-G-U-I-L-T-Y", followed by the gopher getting dipped as Eddie and Santino helplessly watched.
 * Also in the third script draft, rather than Judge Doom shooting R.K. Maroon himself, originally Maroon's killer was going to be a weasel disguised as Roger Rabbit by Latex Perfection.
 * Judge Doom was originally going to have an animated pet vulture named Voltaire (after the French philosopher) that sat on his shoulder, but that idea was dropped in the interest of saving time. However, the vulture later resurfaced with Doom when a bendable action figure was produced. Doom's vulture also appears in the NES game. It also appears during the final scene when the Toons are looking at the remains of Judge Doom.
 * Jack Angel was going to be in the movie as the voice of Captain Cleaver, a tough, gruff Toon human police captain from Toontown and the head of the T.P.D. Homicide Division, who would have been very combative with Eddie in terms of who's going to solve the Acme case.
 * Gary Wolf, the original author, was offered to do a Creator Cameo numerous times (mainly because he was present during filming most of the time). He turned the offer down due to being very camera-shy at the time (it's also why he's rarely present in behind-the-scenes documentaries or specials concerning the film). He mentioned though on his Facebook page once that, had he been up to it at the time, he would have pitched the idea of him playing a crazed fanboy trying to get Jessica's autograph, only to get carried away by bodyguards.
 * Some versions include an extra sequence (called the "Pig Head Sequence"): Eddie Valiant had gone into Toontown, ambushed by the weasels and had a pig's head "tooned" onto his. He went home and washed it off in the shower during which Jessica walked into his apartment. This scene was cut from the original release but did appear in theatrical trailers and a television broadcast. A scene cut from the theatrical version where Jessica rolls up her dress to reveal her stockings as she sits cross-legged is included in this sequence.
 * In a deleted scene, when Doom attempts to dip Roger at the bar, the patrons protest that Roger should at least have a proper trial. The judge agrees, then pulls out a suitcase from which jumps a group of kangaroos that hold out signs reading "Y-O-U A-R-E G-U-I-L-T-Y" (a literal Kangaroo Court, in other words).
