A wide, brightly coloured cartoon-illustrated pinball playfield shot from above under a locked glass with strong reflections and a visible diagonal reflection streak across the upper half. Layout runs from a dense cluster of three large red pop-bumper caps at the upper left-centre, past a large round disc-topped feature at upper right ringed with multicoloured bulbs and lettered SPIN WIN and 7-BALL, down over a blue wireform ramp and a looping green wire rail on the right to a central bank of five white-petalled daisy-like bumpers with dark brown centres. Below the flowers sit a big yellow rubber duck, a pink pig-like cartoon animal, and two white cartoon figures, all with speech balloons. The lower third is a green apron illustration of tiny cartoon characters and is flanked by two white rubber flippers and a black SHOOT AGAIN plunger knob.

Fingerprint: The ADVENTURES OF ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE AND FRIENDS with gigantic brown moose head pink muzzle orange antlers wearing white gloves pointing black top hat, smirking black-haired man enormous toothy grin holding black book, pale woman magenta strapless bodice leaning shoulder, title separate gold-framed picture upper left, book FRACKURED FAIRY TALES propped table, cartoon-stage blue wooden cabinet frame
The single most memorable feature is a gigantic brown moose head with a huge pink muzzle and orange antlers, wearing white cartoon gloves and pointing a black top hat down at a red-draped table like a magician. Beside it sits a smirking black-haired man with an enormous toothy grin, one eyebrow arched, holding open a black book while a pale, dark-bounced woman in a magenta strapless bodice leans against his shoulder. The title is not painted across the art at all: it appears as a separate gold-framed picture-within-the-picture, hung on the upper-left like a framed poster on the stage. A book prop reading 'FRACKURED FAIRY TALES' is propped open on the table. The bottom of the glass carries a frieze of eight tiny labelled scenes, including one signed at the far right.

A wide cartoon-style backglass set inside a bright blue wooden cabinet frame, with a separate black lower panel carrying an orange dot-matrix score display and two round medallion art plates. The main field shows a stage with red theatre curtains draped across the top and right, a blue scalloped curtain backdrop, and a red skirted table. Centre-right looms an enormous brown moose head with a huge pink muzzle, orange antlers, round googly eyes and white cartoon gloves, pointing down with a black top hat held over the table. Upper left, a tan-skinned cartoon man in a pale blue aviator cap and shorts waves. Mid-left and centre are vignettes: a radio console, a blonde woman in a yellow dress, a bearded man in red, a purple-coated figure, a small dog in red on a barrel, and a fair-haired figure with a parasol. A book reads 'FRACKURED FAIRY TALES'. On the right, a smirking black-haired man with a broad grin holds a black book while a pale woman with arched brows and a plunging magenta bodice leans beside him. The bottom strip carries small labelled vignettes: 'PEABODY'S', 'IMPECCABLE' and a barrel marked 'HOTON'.
