Most pages feature dual storyboard concepts for the cartoon scenes with directions below, with occasional highlighting and annotations throughout. Complete with a color laserprint title card.

"MPLS" was the first video related to Prince to be treated as a cartoon, released for broadcast but receiving only minimal airplay. The associated single received only a limited release through the 1-800-NEW-FUNK telephone service and The New Power Generation stores in Minneapolis and London. In addition to the cartoon scenes, the video features live-action clips from Prince's 'The Beautiful Experience' TV-special and Lenny Kravitz’s 'Are You Gonna Go My Way' music video. An unusual production piece from a mid-90s Prince project.
