After Disney closed Toontown Online in September to focus on other projects, about two dozen developers, many in high school or college, created Toontown Rewritten. In the original game, animal characters called Toons tried to prevent the takeover of their town by corporate robots called Cogs. This indicates that Toontown did have a solid fan base, who were real fans. Thanks to fans who made a knock-off version of the popular Disney game.
Toontown Online, loosely based on the 1988 Walt Disney film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” was a multiplayer Internet game for kids and families that drew more than 1 million users after it was introduced in 2003.ĭisney shut it down last year amid a shift away from subscription-based games, just like Pixie Hollow and Pirates of the Caribbean Online. So, do you remember that it wasn’t just Pixie Hollow that had closed it doors in September 2013? Two other virtual worlds, both Disney MMORPGs had also closed (I’m quite sure that you are aware of this). I was very sure that Disney won’t take the trouble to open it again, so, we could rely on some sincere fans. When Pixie Hollow closed, I just had one hope. I do believe Hollow shall return one day. Of course, I am always keeping my fingers crossed, and I still do dream of hanging out with my pixie pals and playing Animal Derby. It has been more than 10 months since Pixie Hollow closed, and unfortunately, I haven’t yet seen a solid proof or hint of its re-opening anytime in the near future.
