Toontown Online (more commonly known as Toontown) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game created by The Walt Disney Company and billed as the first such game intended for kids and families. Designed for children as young as seven, the depth of the game's content has drawn in many older players as well. Toontown's 3D virtual world takes its theme from the colorful style and humor of classic animated cartoons, packaged into an online game experience that its authors claim is social and kid-safe. The game has an ESRB rating of E, for Cartoon Violence and Comic Mischief.
First introduced in the United States in 2003, Disney has since produced versions of Toontown for the United Kingdom (which has a different homepage but uses the same game servers), France, Spain, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Disney does not release figures on the number of subscribers, but Disney's VR Studio head Mike Goslin stated in mid-2005 that "we have nearly 10,000 people playing simultaneously during our busiest times." In May 2007, independent internet research firm Comscore estimated Toontown Online had nearly 1.2 million users.
The Toontown game software is available as a free download. A retail box version (containing a software CD-ROM and a two-month subscription) was also released in Autumn 2005, but has since been discontinued.Both require a subscription fee beyond an initial trial period. A free-to-play, ad-supported version of the game was beta tested in 2007 but to this point has not been released.
