Looking for a 90's Mac PowerPC Storymaking Animation Game

I remember playing with this game with friends back in the late 90s on a PowerPC Mac. It had cartoony anthropomorphic animal characters (police-cat, stoner-dog, a business-suit hedgehog etc.) and a variety of backgrounds like a movie theater, diner, street-corner etc.
You could choose the characters, setting, background noises and props too I think. You could alter character facial expressions and give simple "stage-directions" at certain points in the script. You would type in dialogue and choose mid-90s text-to-voice Mac-native readers to read it. Then you hit play and it played the scene you wrote.
I'm probably overhyping it due to nostalgia but I remember the game being really good for its kind compared to modern variants, and simple enough for a rather young child or non-computer-saavy person to use. Now I cannot remember the name or find any evidence that it actually existed, though I'm not the only one who remembers it. Does anyone know of this software?

Response by poster: Yes! Thank you. I never would've figured it out.
