Just finished the game, and I´m wondering why there isn´t a sequel in development? A game of this type can´t be that expensive to make now, compared to more popular types of games. Who has the rights?
 * The game was a complete commercial flop - afaik millions lost. So a sequel isn't verry likely :( --Dbenzhuser 02:33, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

The Richard Hare listed as the designer and the Richard Hare to which that links are different, unless a leading moral philosopher at Oxford University took a break from lectures to design a game.
 * Early work had been done on a sequel, but after the performance of the this game, work on the sequel stopped. - UnlimitedAccess 13:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Music
The music in the game is often heard in various cartoons etc, does anyone know the composer? 85.166.198.245 00:52, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Sequel redirects
I added two redirects - Toonstruck 2 and Toonstruck sequel. Both redirect to the sequel section of this article and I believe they should until the sequel itself becomes notable enough to deserve its own article.--Baina90 (talk) 14:42, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Re-assessment
The article obviously requires much work, but I would like to see some consensus from the community on what needs to be done before making any major edits. --Baina90 (talk) 17:56, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking over this page, a gameplay section is in order. And the story and character sections could be cleaned up, sourced and put into a plot section. And we can only hope that there's enough reliable sources out there for a development section. So yeah, this article's got a ton of sprucing up to do before it can even be considered for B-Class status. Unfortunately, I don't own the game, and the only contact I've had with it is a playthrough on YouTube. I apologize for not being much assistance.

 * Yes, there need to be less characters on the list of characters and then a plot section. I haven't written a plot section since I am no good at writing narrative, but I could have a look at articles on similar games (like Monkey Island) and then use a similar style. Do you have any idea on how many characters should be left on the list? There are sources out there, like I found the original website for the game on the web directories. The best source available which shows the whole storyline would probably be a walk-through or FAQ for the game, but I'm not sure if that would meet Wikipedia's sourcing guidelines.--Baina90 (talk) 07:13, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, for the characters section, the major characters should make up the first paragraph, while the minor characters should cover the second paragraph. I think about one to two sentences should cover each character. For story sections, they're usually referenced using the "cite video game" tags which incorporate quotes from the game itself. Maybe I could go through that playthrough again and see what I could do. Cat&#39;s Tuxedo (talk) 07:40, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I have to say, I'm not too experienced at editing on Wikipedia, that's why I have taken a cautious approach. I can help you with whatever you do, but I'm not sureI can re-write the characters section. Do you mean play through the game again?--Baina90 (talk) 17:59, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've done some basic clean up per the Video game article guidelines, hopefully that will help things along. A far as suggestions go I would remove any non-major characters from the characters section.  If they aren't important to the plot it's Wiki-policy not to have them, since these articles are just overviews of the game.  A screenshot or two would be good.  I can upload them for you if you'd like, but I don't know much about the game, so you would have to edit the captions (and find me a screenshot you like). I would add the reviews template to your Reception section, and add aggregate scores from GameRankings.  Take a look at Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2's reception section for a sample of how things are done (feel free to click the edit this page button to steal the code, just remember not to save! Looks good so far, feel free to send me a message with any questions.  --Teancum (talk) 13:54, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I like the changes very much, it looks much more like an article and less like a collection of random information. Due to the nature of point-and-click games, all characters are essential to the plot since they aid the protagonist in some way or another in the game. However, what can be done is to group together characters from the same voice actor or who are in the same room/area in the game (such as Polly, Elmer and Marge are in the barn). The most important characters are currently the ones at the top of the list (from Drew to Fluffy). I suggest using these screenshots: and . The first is the most iconic and widely used screenshot, while the second is a scene from the unreleased sequel. I can write the captions if you are willing to upload them. I will now add the template for the reviews. Thanks for all the help.--Baina90 (talk) 16:44, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Images added. --Teancum (talk) 23:04, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Captions added along with a reference for why the game failed commercially.--Baina90 (talk) 14:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I looked up this page a while ago (probably a year or so), and there used to be more information about the actual technical aspects of the game (i.e. the various reasons why it would not run on a modern computer and ways to get around this dilemma). I was wondering why it was removed, and where I could go to get this information? I've been wanting to get this game for a while now, as I loved it when I was a kid. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.76.168.203 (talk) 05:29, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
