Toonstruck: Official Trailer

Toonstruck is a 1996 point-and-click adventure game in which, although all the imagery is drawn and scanned into the game, the protagonist Drew Blanc (played and voiced by Christopher Lloyd) is an actual video-captured representation of the actor (the name is a pun, since the character has "drawn a blank" on coming up with a new idea for a character). Drew's sidekick, crudely named Flux Wildly, is a drawn character voiced by Dan Castellaneta. Toonstruck also features scan-line compressed FMV. It was also one of the first video games to include stock music from APM Music, notably the classic "Spooky Scherzo" by Sam Fonteyn.

In Toonstruck, Christopher Lloyd plays Drew Blanc, a cartoon animator and the original creator of the Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show. This show has been an unprecedented success for his company, but in reality the many cute talking rabbits that star in the show sicken him. His self-revered creation, Flux Wildly, a wise-talking and sarcastic purple animal, has been denied the chance of starring in his own show. Drew's boss, Sam Schmaltz (played by Ben Stein), sets him the task of coming up with an idea of a new character to star in the Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show by the next morning. However, the depressed animator soon nods off, suffering from acute artist's block. He wakes early the next morning to find his television switched on, announcing the Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show. Suddenly, Drew is mysteriously drawn into the television screen and transported to an idyllic two-dimensional cartoon world populated by his own creations. He soon befriends Flux Wildly and Fluffy, and discovers that this fictional paradise is being ravaged by a ruthless new character with a devastating weapon of evil, a ray beam that mutates the pleasant, childish landscape and its inhabitants into dark, twisted and adult versions of themselves. He is tasked with hunting down and stopping this madman, thereby restoring peace and harmony to the land, in return for safe passage back to three-dimensional reality.

Its getting re-released, confirmed on facebook by Keith Arem who owns the rights. An Enhanced version is in the works and it may have some parts of the 2nd half/sequel that were cut before it was originally released. An official announcement is hopefully to be set at Comic Con in July.
