Just seen this over on adventuregamers and thought this may interest fans of this underrated classic;

"For all of you who were/are fans of the original, the unparalleled, Toonstruck the tremendously underrated DOS point-and-click adventure starring none other than Christopher Lloyd and Ben Stein and featuring the voice talents of Tress MacNeille (The Simpsons, Futurama), Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson), Dom DeLuise (many a Mel Brooks and Don Bluth film), Tim Curry (Rocky Horror) among many others, today is your lucky day, hopefully to be followed by even luckier days to come.
Music director Keith Arem, the rights holder for the Toonstruck and the unreleased material which was to become the second half of the game but was cut before the final release due to software limitations at the time (this was 1996), has expressed interest in dusting the cobwebs off the ill-fated sequel and releasing it for several platforms pending sufficient fan support. The entirety of the correspondence detailing this new and exciting information can be found at this thread inside the Toonstruck 2 Fan Project forum; the only corner of the internet concerned with a Toonstruck sequel until about three hours ago."
To quote Mr. Arem:
"...While the game was internationally critically acclaimed, the game did
not receive the sales we hoped, and the second half was never released.
Now that my career has developed, I would like to re-release an updated
version of Toonstruck to include the 2nd half of the game (iPad, online,
etc), but I would need tremendous fan support to justify its release..."

OH MY GOD YES.
I replayed Toonstruck last year - was always one of my favorite FMV type point and clicks. Sadly, I have a feeling that if a sequel were made, it wouldn't get the same caliber of casting as the first. Regardless I'd still love a sequel.

Well hes wanting to add the 2nd half of the game that was taken out at the last minute due to budget reasons basically making it a Directors cut of the game ala Broken Sword style. Its not affectivley a new game you could say its like an expansion pack.
Well, they could start by releasing the first Toonstruck on GOG. Hopefully people would buy it, and that could help fund this new edition.

Even though I already own this game, I would totally buy it again from here at 5.99 if it included some neat extras! :D
Also I signed the petition and posted a notice on my facebook page!
Signed the petition and gave a shout out to GOG in the comment. I recommend we all do that as, even if it doesn't get enough people, they still might recognise GOG as a potential means of releasing the current version of the game.
Signed the petition, and will definitely buy this if it comes out. And I'll get a few word of mouth shouts out to my friends, that's at least ten more interested people.

I'm still waiting for a PC version of this.
Make Toonstruck 1 to GoG, that will give the series more attention!
Toonstruck was amazing :) even the infuriatingly difficult bit with the arcade skill game!
I'd love a sequel.
Its also the reason another of my alias' is Nefarious :D

It would be better if GOG got this new improved full version, to be honest. Failing that, the original would be a welcome addition.

Maybe thats what the plan is, to release the "new" version on various platforms and downloadable services so I'm guessing possibly GOG and Steam are going to be the main areas for a PC download.

Let's hope so.
And here I was, convinced this was one of my wishes that would never come true...
Still - the response is predictably minuscule, so I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up :\.
Spread the word, guys. We need to reach the masses, so it would be best if the major gaming news sites got tipped off and made an article about it...
