Toontown Online, commonly abbreviated as TTO, was an MMORPG created by The Walt Disney Company that was released on June 2, 2003 and lasted until its closure on September 19, 2013. Ever since the closure, many people of the Toontown community began working on bringing back the game in the form of "private servers". One of the most populated private servers is known as Toontown Rewritten, which started development without its existence being known, as soon as Toontown Online announced on August 20, 2013 that the game was going to close.
Notable memories
Charlie Begs to Save Toontown
Charlie is one of the many people who felt extremely saddened when they heard Toontown Online was no longer going to live. Charlie's dad recorded the above YouTube video of his speech in hopes that it would hopefully catch Disney's attention and realize how hurtful it is for Toontown Online to close. Despite Charlie not receiving his wish, a few months later is when he was given a special surprise. When Toontown Rewritten was in Alpha, Charlie was given an alpha key to gain access and become a tester, in which his dad received the news by Joey through email.
According to Toontown Rewritten in their F.A.Q. (or "About") page on their website, the reason why their game exists is because of people like Charlie who genuinely loved Toontown Online. The staff members of Toontown Rewritten say they are not in for the fame or to gain profit, as they believe Disney deserves the real credit, and are only sustaining the game as a gift to the Toontown community.[1]
Trailers
The above YouTube video is an example of the many advertisements Disney created for Toontown Online. Toontown Rewritten created their very first advertisement titled "Toontown Ad: Doing Things Differently", which is remotely inspired by Disney's version in its own special way.
