Description

Toonstruck is a point-and-click adventure in the style of Monkey Island. It uses a one-icon system, and the protagonist is a motion-captured actor against an animated environment.

Like an adventure game in the Roger Rabbit style. Drew Blanc, the main character, is played by Christopher Lloyd, whom you may know as the professor in Back to the Future and Fester in The Addams Family movies. He ventures through the animated world consisting of very weird cartoon characters. The land is being overrun by an evil doctor, and you, as Drew, must stop him.

Trivia

The creators of the German version of the game did wonders by translating the many typically English jokes into German. Still, many jokes seem extremely artificial in the German version, simply because they are based entirely on the English language and cannot be translated. A good example is the whole first part of the game, where you have to gather items to put in the machine in the castle. All those items and the slots to place them correctly are based on typically English sayings and proverbs. They tried to translate the whole thing into German, but the result was, of course, unsatisfying. There is also one character in the game who talks with various accents of the English language. The German version makes them talk with Dutch and Swiss accent. They even translated some names, for example, Drew Blank became "Mal Block".
