Released in 2005 for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt is a 3D collectathon platformer that captures the chaotic humor of the classic Warner Bros. cartoon. Developed by Warthog, the game follows Yakko, Wakko, and Dot as they attempt to recover 45 stolen "Edgars"—the cartoon world's equivalent of the Oscars—from the megalomaniacal director C.C. Deville.
