Maroon hires private detective Eddie

Maroon hires private detective Eddie Valiant to investigate rumors that Jessica is having an extramarital affair. Eddie and his brother Teddy used to be friends of the toon community, but Eddie has hated them, and has been drinking heavily, since Teddy was killed by a toon who dropped a piano on him and Eddie a few years earlier. The animated footage was then sent to ILM for compositing where technicians would animate three lighting layers (Shadows, Highlights and Tone Mattes) separately, in order to make the cartoon characters look three-dimensional and give the illusion of the characters being affected by the lighting on set. The game encourages players to have fun above all other considerations - even to the point of breaking the rules of the game. If the players and the Animator agree that a players' actions in a game are funny and enjoyable, then that players' actions are allowed and encouraged. The player, when starting the game for the first time, had six “slots” with which they could create six different toons. Selecting one of the empty slots would direct the player to “Create-A-Toon,” the creation process for the player's Toon. Players were able to customize their Toons in various shapes, clothes, colors and sizes, but notably in different species as well, consisting of cats, dogs, ducks, mice, pigs, rabbits, bears, horses and monkeys.
