Lending their voices alongside Christopher Lloyd, Tim Curry, Dan Castellaneta and David Ogden Stiers were many other notable voice actors: Tress MacNeille, Dom DeLuise, Jim Cummings, Jeff Bennet, Corey Burton, Frank Welker, April Winchell and Rob Paulsen. The game's Executive Developer, David Bishop had the idea to make a game called 'Trouble in Toonland' about a young boy named Daniel who would be magically transport to a cartoon world under attack by an evil black and white villain named Ghastly Graham who was attempting to remove all color from the world.ДЄfter it was decided that the adventure title would be aimed at an older audience, characters were developed to follow suit: The young, innocent Daniel became the tired and jaded cartoonist, Drew Blanc, and his partner, who was intended to be a friendly cartoon character named Gerald was changed for the kinetic Flux Wildly. Virgin interactive, wanting to replicate the success and style of movies such as 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' (also starring Lloyd), decided to pursue the unique combination of film and animation, only this time in a game. Toonstruck's most notable feature was in its visual design: protagonist Drew Blanc is not only played and voiced by actor Christopher Lloyd, but his digitized self is used as the character sprite, while all other characters are cartoons. Toonstuck is a point-and-click adventure title typical of the era, in which players must interact with and explore environments to find clues and objects to complete often abstract puzzles to progress the story. However, obtaining the new parts will not be a simple task for Blanc and Flux as they must navigate Cutopia, Zanydu, the Malevolands and their crazy inhabitants. The king informs the duo that the Count perfected a device known as the Malevolator, a beam weapon that turns everything that is cute and nice into that which is cruel and sinister.ДЄs it turns out, the solution is a fairly simple one: replace key components of the Malevolator and their heinous influence with their opposites in order to create a cutifiier to reverse the damage done to Cutopia. The king (voiced by David Ogden Stiers) agrees, on one condition: that Blanc and Flux help them to defeat Count Nefarious (voiced by Tim Curry), ruler of neighboring territory, the Malevolands. Flux (voiced by Simpsons star Dan Castellaneta) assures him that despite not being able to find his own way home, much less one out of the cartoon world, he would take him to someone who would be able to help him: the benevolent ruler of Cutopia, King Hugh. Blanc is then saved from being struck himself by Flux who pushes him clear of the final blast.ДЄfter a brief warm exchange, Blanc pleads for help to get home.

Met with a rainbow assortment of parading rabbits, Blanc attempts to wake himself for fear of missing his deadline when he is interrupted by a series of lightning bolts that turn the surround green and pleasant hillside into a barren, rocky wasteland. Just as he goes to turn it off with the remote, he is suddenly sucked into the show and ultimately into Cutopia, a cartoon world of his own creation. Turning back to his sketch pad, uttering the mantra, 'must focus on bunnies', he falls asleep amidst a lightning storm and jarred awake by his television playing The Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show at four o'clock in the morning. 'Go make.' Schmaltz demands, adding that the new characters must be on his desk by the very next morning.Д«lanc stares at the sketchpad in front of him for hours with no signs of progress and begins to reminisce about his naive ambitions as a young cartoonist to make a show starring his favorite creation, a purple sun glasses wearing blob named Flux Wildly. Naturally, playing his part as the cold, corporate shill, Schmaltz's suggestion is to add more bunnies, much to Blanc's dismay, calling it Fluffy and Friends. Schmaltz makes it painfully clear that the only reason Blanc has remained hired is thanks to the success of his nauseating cute cartoon, 'The Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show' and asks him as Bun Bun's original creator to revitalize the show. So much so, he almost misses an important morning meeting with his boss, Sam Schmaltz ( Ben Stein), due to his perpetual state of lamentation. After ten years in the corporate mangler, cartoonist Drew Blanc ( Christopher Lloyd) is worn out and frustrated at being unable to pursue his own creative vision for an animated television series.
