Toontown Online, commonly known as Toontown, was a 3D massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on a cartoon animal world, developed by Disney's Virtual Reality Studio and Schell Games, and published by The Walt Disney Company. The game made its official launch on June 2, 2003

Do you remember Toontown? ⚙️

HOLY SHIT YOU CAME BACK..
I remember toontown
But I don't remember you...
No
I like Disney club penguin
I remember the game!
I've played it with my cousins one New Years Eve
I've tried the version they made after the original one closed, but it kept forcing me out whenever I played
um im actually super dog one of my friends told me so ummmmmmm my dream came true (:
Toontown rewritten is how the game came back a few years ago. Today is still very much active with tons of players. I am one of them.
same here, there's multiple private servers like Toontown Rewritten, Toontown Corporate Clash and more
It's a blast!
I made an account today. It's fun.
Same! I played it about 5 years ago for a couple mouths and just recently came back for nostalgia. I still have a lot of fun playing, it reminds me of my childhood and such good memories!
Same 😊
my question is why would anyone _want_ a Disney-sponsored ToonTown anymore
we've all seen what Disney does to its IPs sooner or later
good point, 2013 and 2017 were big shutdown years for Disney MMOs
Yeah…they’re pretty heartless to them
@DarthAnonymous why though? TTR is completely free and I would rather begin personally sponsoring it to keep it free for ppl
"keep your toon alive inside your heart.. no one can shut that down"
why did that make me cry
I guess Disney really isn’t toon enough.
Yep 👁
💧
haaaa
LOL
Okay Polaku
Ah man as a kid I loved to play mmos like Toontown and Wizard101! That was my bread and butter as a kid
As a kid… yes…
yeah as a kid but now I hate Wizard101 with a passion
@@PayPayGoneCrayCray
Their business model was always cruddy (not just a subscription, but a buyable currency with overinflated item prices), and it's a bit unbalanced, but I always liked its world and the whole "it's like Toontown, but it's about magic instead of cartoons".
Ah yes... I played this back in 2007 or so. I was sad that it had closed forever in 2013 but we still have Rewritten, Corporate Clash, etc.
In fact, I first watched a commercial for it in my Brother Bear 2 DVD and wanted to check it out... my parents could never been happier when the game finished downloading and made for me a mouse toon (since I was super into Mickey and friends at the time).
I live in the UK so ads for this game were rare and I never got introduced into the game till 2011 or so when my oldwe cousin showed me and I created my green duck “skipfizzlesnoop” I’ll never forget that or the experience I had playing this game man
When the world needed him the most, he came back.
Damn it I was gonna say that
>:(
This is the comment that is on all of his videos
And won’t come back for a long time.
Is just short
Ok but the fact how Wizard101 is the last of the famous 2000s MMOS to be still alive is a Christmas miracle…
the fact i MIGHT one day be able to load up the toon i made when i was like 8, it makes me happy
same 💙
you can?? on toontown rewritten
@@nightly._4779 im talking bout the genuine toon in tto, not just recreating the toon
@@biguglybucker i prefer ttr's lack of membership and ability to profit over loading up my old nostalgic toon, if disney renewed the contract they abandoned for club penguin. and if we could have the OG game, lots of things would have changed in the community. people wont be anymore drawn to tto than ttr, since ttr has (imo) provided more updates and has more to offer than TTO did, other than nostalgia and a constant hope for cognation. TTO had a much larger population, and you can argue that TTR's inability to advertise is what hurts this; but in reality, there are a lot more games that do things TTO also did.
@@nightly._4779 TTR doesn't even have field office after 8 years lmao
Toontown inspired my art tbh. I used to love playing it EVERY SINGLE DAY after school for hours and i'd draw my characters + draw various friends from my friends list. I still draw with a rubberhose type of style 🎂⛈
I love your videos so much, especially your videos about old games.
I especially loved the scream _“Somewhat challenging at times, _*_NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”_*
Absolutely love watching 20-30 minute long videos on antique internet gems like this one, so this was so refreshing. Especially coming from such a chill content creator. Awesome return bro
Thank you :)
As a long term player of toontown corporate clash, I still learned some interesting things in this video I didn’t know before. You really did your research well!
I LOVED Toontown as a kid. I didn't have a membership either, but I still loved it and I was devastated when I learned it was closing. Especially since I could only play these PC games on weekends.
An underwater Atlantis MMORPG would have been SICK tho
2:30 completely caught me off guard hahahaha
Yoooo megasnoop!!!
Yo do you mind if we talk Privately at some point? I sent you a friend request on Discord.
I hope Toontown officially makes a return some day.
Until then, seriously y'all, check out the fan servers. They're keeping the game alive, and in the case of Corporate Clash, creating a ton of new and exciting content for the game! Watch some videos of it on CZcams, or interact with communities live on platforms like Twitch. This community has been and continues to be a really welcoming and awesome part of my life over the years. No matter who you are, the level of experience you have with the game, there's a place for you in this toony little community we've got going on.
don't forget tvs
I HIGHLY recommend Toontown Corporate Clash. I've been in the Toontown community for quite a bit as of now, and I can safely say that Clash is definitely one of the better versions. The original toontown, much like it's revival Toontown Rewritten, is extremely grindy. Im not saying thats bad, however, if you want a Toontown experience whilst not dedicating years or months of your life to it, then I would say Corporate Clash is the better option. It adds a new gag track, revamped lawbot, new progression systems, new gags itself, new playgrounds, side-quests and story, and much much more while still being not as "grindy" as the original.
If you prefer Rewritten because it's more "original", then go for it, by all means. I'm just saying that Corporate Clash is a refreshing take on the game for people who want a more modern take on Toontown while still keeping its wonder it had in 2012.
I kinda hope it doesn’t make an official return tbh, if Disney is actively using the brand again then all the fan servers will be shut down. Then we’ll either have no way to play the original game or we’ll have the original version without the fan improvements and with membership charges.
Idk how I started playing it, maybe just stumbled upon it and was like oh hey, this looks cool. And it was. I'm glad re-written is a thing. reminds me of a small part of my childhood. I never had a membership, and didn't play it when membership was free and it was shutting down. So being able to do all the things I was never able to and more, is a true delight for me.
Ikr
Living in a third world country that kind of money was impossible for me so rewritten has been amazing for me
I feel bad for all those who don't know about Toontown: Corporate Clash...Basically as if Disney had never stopped working on it! New gags, bosses, cogs, etc
You're right, it is as if Disney never stopped working on it. By ignoring serious problems and not listening to the Community about many problems in the game, they totally do act like Disney before it.
Mmm 🤔 I’ll give it a try
Ahhh toontown, how I miss it. I mean sure, there are private servers of it, but they don’t have the same following as TTO
“Toontown Rewritten has now grown to over 1,900,000 registered players, with thousands of players playing at almost any given time of day”
-ttr faq
I’d say at the peak time every day there’s at LEAST 1500 people playing Toontown rewritten. I play it time to time for a few days and there are always people online. Peak hours usually have 2 full servers (500 toons each) on weekends.
You don’t have to miss it, come back today. The only thing lost are the licensed Disney characters walking around playgrounds, but there are active volunteer staff/ devs, lots of new content, it’s actually even better than it was in 2010. Unless you crash a lot.
Seriously, the game is doing great and there are many people still playing.
@@gints2766 i tried it, and when I could actually get in it was amazing. Though the problem is that I DID crash a lot.
well then again I did play back during the open beta so it’s probably stabilized since then, so I’ll give it a try tomorrow
@@GamingMasterAnthony yeah but by now there are lots of resources online to try and fix the crashing. I haven’t tried any tho. I crash when I’m trying to play 3 toons at once so it doesn’t help
@@gints2766 there is no more than like 1k on at a given time so that is a lie lmao
@@GamingMasterAnthony I found my game crashed a lot too, I think it’s a problem relating to old software running on modern devices. I did find a resource pack however with HD textures, after installing it I haven’t crashed anymore.
I saw ads for this game all the time but never played it. I never actually knew It was Disney related until Billiam’s video about it.
Toontown was amazing, it would of been so cool to see them develop it further rather than ditch it :(
Well there is toontown rewritten if you didnt know
@@justintobar3478 I know! But i would of loved to see it developed further. TTR is great but it is a product of it's time. Disney would have undoubtedly updated and improved the game if they hadn't shut it down. TTCC is good too, but the playerbase is far too small to be playable
@@justintobar3478 TTR is kinda dead nowadays imo. The only hope for the game to grow again is if Disney ever brings it back(Which would be pretty awesome if they do)
@@taylorserasera I’m unable to play it again because my laptop thinks it’s a virus😶
There's toontown rewritten. Play it
Rip toon town
F
I played Toontown Online in early 2005 and also 2006. When it closed in September 2013, I was sad, but then now we have the same game, Toontown Rewritten and it grew so much better. Toontown Rewritten is the expansion for Toontown Online’s game. Thank the Toontown Rewritten team for making this possible for us toons and I will continue to fight those cogs and leveling up my gags. ❤❤❤
Each of the mmos I played meant a lot to me. From Toontown to Fusionfall to Lego Universe etc
Pengicitus is my fav I use him as my zoom profile picture. Great video.
Always keep moving forward and keep your favorite game, tv show, and movie alive because you will never know that favorite thing you love might come back.
Man,
The two games I remember playing the most was toontown and build a bearville and it’s hurts that both is gone like this :(
I remember in build a bearville was during Christmas there was this train (or express, whatever it was) where you get to ride and chat with other players (and you don’t have to be a member or anything) and I remember you get hot chocolate. Good times man! :(
You are so underrated man, i seriously enjoy these a lot. Can't wait for the next one!
your editing is absolutely fantastic, really enjoyed this :)
Ayyy I come back home from the longest shift I've had in a while and there's a new Pengicitis upload. How ya been man? You working or just doing CZcams now?
Thank you for spending the time to make this video. We really appreciate it
Toontown was also a big part of my childhood, and despite me being enough of a fan to know most everything present in these sort of videos, well, it's nice to hear people talk about it even to this day. Yes, the community is nowhere near the size it was back in 2013, but the current fans are so tight knit that even I, a person that doesn't play as much as they used to, still frequently interact with the community and friends i've made along the way.
Toontown has been so important to my life, in so many ways. If I never had played it, who knows where I'd be today. That importance to my life is why I still keep close to the game to this day, and I will most likely never forget it's impact on my life, even if one day it does disappear for good.
Welcome back man love your videos keep up the amazing work
As someone who just joined the community through Corporate Clash (which, if you haven’t played, is SUPER good. Good enough to render the original game like…almost devoid, sad to say. It’s definitely worth a play though!), this is a really good in depth video. :D
It would definitely be a normal day in Toon Town if a dog keeps me hostage and repeatedly asks me if I’m toon enough.
I have a theory that the creators of Toontown wanted to make a message teaching what corporate corruption is to kids so that they were aware of Disney’s business practices as they grew up. Maybe they saw something within Disney that inspired them to basically mock what they are while using their IPs at the same time. Hence why it wasn’t as successful and closed down.
This is and will always be one of my favorite childhood games that I STILL play to this day!! Toontown rewritten was a great replacer, but then they came up with Corporate Clash and that one, in my personal preference, is SO much better! I’m just so glad it’s back in its own way!!
How have I never heard of this CZcamsr? This is the content I need in my life. I love old web games, and I just made an account today, and it's fun. I'm glad I found out about it. However, I did have Club penguin, and when it was shutdown, I was sad. I'm glad that it's back. I made an account with the same username, and now I can continue having fun playing it.
Amazing video as always!! It's very interesting to learn about this game I used to play back in the day! Maybe one day it will come back!
thx dude, appreciate ur help too 💙
i remember playing this game and watching people like quackity, fun times
Nice Vid Man, great to see people still reminiscing about ToonTown I still play it :)
Wow. As soon as I check your channel again, you post. Amazing.
I've played Toontown for as long as I can remember. As a 7 year old the "search for bbhq" was the coolest thing ever! It was so sad to watch the updates get farther and farther apart and slowly watch Disney stop caring. Remember the "hackers" infesting the game around 2011?
The original scramble by the fandom to create the best fan server was insane! from the original drama between rewritten vs infinite and then the collapse of the infinite team. The period from 2013-2015 was some of the most exciting times to be playing the game from rewritten, infinite, Toontown house, operation dessert storm, project atlas aka corporate clash. I still miss my squad of friends from tto. TTO was intregal to my childhood/teenage years. As long as there's still toontown servers I'll always be there.
PS if any OG TTO folks knew a tuless black cat named peek-a-boo I'm still kicking with my remake on rewritten and corporate clash :p some things you can never let go of.
This video was amazing. Wish I could've been around back then to enjoy the greatness of tune town in it's fullest glory but you did a good enough job explaining it :)
This was a very nice video. Great work, I loved it!
Even thought I didn't play the game myself I watched my sibling play it for hours, there was even a glitch we encountered that gave them membership until they logged off which was pretty cool
I felt the same way with Wizard101. I loved making friends on there and it's pretty fun. It's still up today, but I don't play it anymore because I grew out of it. I want to play it again but my laptop won't let me...
Man, this reminds me I should check out the fan servers. I never got to play the original game, sadly. When it came out we didn't have access to internet services that could *remotely* handle it. Just downloading the client took almost an hour if I remember, haha. Just... the worst of the worst of dial-up. Then when it shut down, it was completely off my radar.
But I definitely saw those commercials, and I was always curious. I can even say as an outsider that the game has aged incredibly well. So maybe it's time to give it a shot.
awesome video penguin. I never got to experience toontown but nonetheless, awesome video.
I thought I had your notifications turned off but no you've just been gone, welcome back lmao
man, I don’t remember toon town well or if I played much of it, but I DO know I played it before. I’d be willing to come back to this game.
Yeah
Well there is toontown rewritten and its completely free if you didnt know
And toontown rewritten has many players daily, wby one who played TTO regularly plays TTR now
Omg I remember that Tinkerbell game! I played it with my sis and it was so fun
I never played this game, but I've heard alot about it. (I was a Webkinz kid)
thank you for the upload robert

That was me with pixie hollow. Idc that im an adult I miss it so much :(
I actually love ur vids so much
I’ve been playing since I was in elementary school. I never had a membership. Since Rewritten I’ve been able to enjoy the full game!
Return of the King!
Good to see ya man!
The boy Pengicitis back with another banger video
i never played toontown as a kid, but it looks like such a fun game !!
same, I wish I had the chance
Right? I wished I had gotten to play it to bc never did.
Come join us at rewritten ! Toontown Rewritten will give you the authentic experience from back then ^u^
Oh shit that’s my artwork lol 10:30
Loving this video so much!!
thanks! ur art looks great 💙
@@Pengicitis thanks love! This video was so wonderfully made and I’m definitely gonna binge some more of yours!
Never got into Toontown, but I did play Cartoon Network's MMO Fusionfall when I was a kid. Another one that went the way of the dodo when CN lost interest. Hearing it's been revived by fans though, I may give it a look.
I hope I get my old toons back before it close if it does come back I don't remember what I named my first toon but when it was free membership I remember naming my second toon biscuitcrunchynugget
"keep your toon alive inside your heart.. no one can shut that down"-Jesse Schell
I didn't know I need this, but I needed this.
Toontown now: everyone hates the field office update, idk why but it might be less difficulty improvement
Corporate clash: (Laughs in OCLO)
Every is angry because its not out in TTR.
@@alexiskuwata yeah, waiting, difficulty might not be improved, and other shit
I can happily say that I am still playing toon town (rewritten) I tried to get my 8 year old sister to play it, but she wasn’t really interested lol
I find myself taking over and playing it for myself lol
I did the same. My daughters played and one downloaded rewritten version recently but played a week and quit. I found it and have been back battling again.
I played with adults back in the day by joining the adult section on the forum but now it seems like all are adults so no need to search a forum for them lol.
Clicked as soon as I saw! Can already tell it’s gonna be good
I never played Toontown as a kid, but I've heard of it multiple times. I'm not attached to it as much as I am with Roblox for example, but I support the community. Sidenote, sometimes I also forget I'm a Patron of this channel.
ironic that a game about corporate greed....closed because of corporate greed
When the imposter isn’t toon enough 😳
Okay okay I laugh
Toontown bad
i don't know how i never heard of this game even tho i watch disney alot as a kid never seen the ads for it and the only resone i heard of it because a group of friend decided to try to beat the game 3 years back
Thankfully, there are servers like Toontown Rewritten and Toontown Corporate Clash that I play today.
I love Toontown, I still play it all the time and recently became a stream partner with Toontown Rewritten
Your uploads always make my day
Sheesh hes back with the golden content
Wow, really wasnt expecting a TTO video. I have to know though, where did you get that curled up flunky picture at 7:14?
hey ur finally alive again, welcome back appendicitis
Hey dude could u make a tutorial on how to make your videos because I would like to know
Gosh I remember toontown…didn’t play it as much as club Penguin but I do recall playing at least once
Well you should play it again cause its all free now
@@justintobar3478 I’m unable to play the rewrite version again because my laptop perceives it as a virus 😶
I never played ToonTown, but I ended up playing ToonTown Rewritten, I feel nostalgia when I play it despite me never playing the original.
I grew up on Club Penguin and ya.. even that went downhill.
Also: Builders club is premium now btw.
Same lol
Did anyone else play Petpet Park when they were a kid? I would play that game every day after school. So depressing when it shut down
I just started playing the game because my friend wanted me to try this game so I did two videos and one live stream was kind of fun Only problem is it likes to kick you out of the game
Toontown Rewritten makes me so happy. It gave me my childhood dream of being a 100+ toon.
I’ve always known about Toontown all my life but it never interested me as a game I’d want to play
A few weeks ago, my friend got me into the game, Corporate Clash to be specific, and it’s such a fun experience
New Pengicitis video? Pog
Your back!
I used to be obsessed with this game. I totally forgot about it lol. Another forgotten game I used to be obsessed with was Zwinky. Anyone remember Zwinky?
I was not expecting that megasnoop screaming clip in the first 3 minutes
A Disney sponsored ToonTown comeback would be the worst possible scenario.
That would most likely mean cease and desists for both toontown rewritten and corporate clash. They would no longer be harmless fangames on a property that Disney no longer makes money off of, but completely free competition diminishing Disney's userbase.
I also believe that TTR/CC are a lot better than what Disney could make. Sure, a bunch of fans working for free on a passion project don't have anywhere close to the resources of one of the biggest companies in the world, but what they lack in resources they make up in two things: Passion, and a lack of ulterior motives (financial incentive). A Disney sponsored toontown would exist primarily to make money. Every update, every feature, will be judged not by whether or not it has enough passion, or whether or not the fanbase will like it, but instead whether or not it will make money, whether or not they can make good advertisements of it. In practical terms, I guarantee this means a shitty microtransaction and lootbox riden hell. Meanwhile, ttr/cc's decisions are driven entirely by what they believe the community wants, and what they believe would make for a good game. In a way, the original toontown online being shut down was the best thing that could happen to the game.
My run through ToonTown died some time after my first Toon Friend insulted me and unfriended me. :(
... Well, it mostly died because I couldn't work out many features so I gave up.
It's always sad when an online game you play gets shut down :(
I remember I got the game from a CD that i got on a box of cereals
i haven’t touched my rewritten account in months and this video made me want to go back on
My older brother used to work for Toontown which is where I first heard about it. Then the local 7-11 had these 3 day free trials..
Genuine question, do these come out months later bc he takes forever to make them? I noticed their always longish videos
i eenjoyed seeing all the clips of corporate clash
