The tour guide explains that Maroon Studios has changed over the years and adapting to ages with the advent of television animation while still compromised with their heritage as she introduces the tourists to the company's CEO. One of the tourists is Scarlet Mason who got her first chance in Hollywood and has always looked for cartoon female role models like Olive Oyl, Daphne Blake and Jessica Rabbit, although she shows disappointment about how Maroon has shifted into edgier and childish features while ignoring their own iconic star Roger Rabbit. The Tour guide then explains that he and Jessica retired on their own in the 1970s and have since passed the torch to their 18-year-old daughter Susie who was coincidentally there to greet whoever wanted to talk with her. Susie then comments she has been different from other toon humans due to bearing rabbit-like traits, namely ears, buckteeth and a tail, all inherited from her father as Scarlet proceeds to greet her and fangirls over the past of Maroon Studios.

Trivia

 * Unlike the first film where they only licensed their characters, Warner Bros. has convinced Disney to allow them to co-produce and co-finance the film in exchange of licensing once more their Looney Tunes characters as well as the ones of Hanna-Barbera (who has been acquired by Time Warner through its merger with Turner Broadcasting System in 1996) thanks to Amblin's ties with the company on television animation in the 1990s and that way having a tighter control on how to portray their characters.
 * On the other side, Universal Studios (who owns Woody Woodpecker), (who owns Popeye and Betty Boop) and  (who owns Rocky and Bullwinkle) limited themselves to simply license their characters.
 * The film's developers initially intended for Susie to be voiced by a celebrity voice, but they eventually decided it would sound too distracting and too recognizable if the idea moved forward, opting to casting a voice actress instead due to their ability to create a new and unique voice with their main requirements being to manage to be slightly goofy like her father and being able to sing like her mother.
 * Initial drafts planned to use characters created for cable channels like Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, but the writers eventually opted to back out of it to focus more on classic IPs.
