When you're having a bad day, if you've ever secretly wanted to throttle a certain adorable little purple dinosaur or any of the other too-cute-for-words denizens of Saturday morning cartoons, then this is the game for you!? A broad satirical spoof of everything some?have grown to loathe about certain kid shows, it is the funny and empathetic story of one man driven to the brink by them.
That man is Drew Blanc (pun intended), and he indeed has recently been drawing a blank. Played perfectly by Christopher Lloyd, he is the artist-creator of a wildly popular children's cartoon show (The Fluffy Fluffy Bun Bun Show), and he has drawn cutesy-pie little fluffy bunnies until he's sick of them (" I'll puke pink putrescence! "). Now try as he may, he can't dredge up even one more. He longs to be able to draw what he's always wanted to:? an edgy, topical?cartoon starring a paranoid, sarcastic little purple thingy, that in his daydreams he calls "Flux Wildly".
But his mean and money-hungry boss (Ben Stein) has given him an ultimatum:? shape up and draw more sickeningly sweet bunnies by morning, or else!? Desperate and exhausted after hours of trying to no avail, he falls asleep at his drawing board, only to be startled awake(?) sometime later when a freak electrical storm zaps him smack into the middle of the very cartoon world that he hates... Cutopia!
This outrageous adventure is set in a skewed (in more ways than one!) cartoon world of brilliantly colored beautiful graphics, with first-rate animations and video clips. The game makes fun of practically all aspects of cartoons, and the bizarre characters encountered include everything from a cross-dressing 'Carecrow' to a deranged clown who tortures balloon animals. Our particular favorite was Marge, the sweet little cow who turns into a very funny masochist after being hit by rays from the Malevolator!
