Mickey's Toontown is one of the "themed lands" at the Disneyland park run by The Walt Disney Company. At Tokyo Disneyland, this area is named Toontown. A similar area at the Magic Kingdom is named Mickey's Toontown Fair. It also spun off an online role-playing game called Toontown Online, which first released in 2003. The online game is similar to Mickey's Toontown.
[edit] History and Concept Roger Rabbit was recognized as a lucrative character by Disney after the release of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and an ambitious set of attractions based on the movie was developed for Disney theme parks. Roger Rabbit was even set to be the star of his own land, behind Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland, called Hollywoodland. Meanwhile, over at the Magic Kingdom, a new land behind Fantasyland was being developed in honor of Mickey Mouse's sixtieth birthday, aptly named Mickey's Birthdayland. There were also set to be attractions based on Roger Rabbit, Judge Doom and Baby Herman opening in a major expansion at the Disney's Hollywood Studios and Tokyo Disneyland, but after the financial disaster of the Euro Disney Resort, plans were dramatically cut back. Hollywoodland was canceled, and was combined with the idea of Mickey's Birthdayland as well as a concept found in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, to form Mickey's Toontown, which opened in 1993 behind Fantasyland at Disneyland. The attractions at Disney-MGM Studios were canceled, but an exact replica of Mickey's Toontown opened at Tokyo Disneyland in 1996. The only resort that does not contain a 'Toontown' or 'Toon Studio' is Hong Kong Disneyland. [edit] Disneyland
Mickey's Toontown opened in Disneyland on January 24, 1993. The area is themed on the Toontown seen in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and resembles a set from a Max Fleischer cartoon. The buildings are stylized and colorful. There are several attractions involving classic cartoon characters, such as the 'houses' of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and a small children's coaster. There are a few interactive gags. Compared to other Disneyland areas however, there are few large or technically complex rides or shows, and the houses themselves appeal primarily as playhouses for small children. [edit] Attractions

[edit] Magic Kingdom
At the Magic Kingdom, Mickey's Toontown Fair initially opened as Mickey's Birthdayland on June 18, 1988. It became Mickey's Starland on May 26, 1990, and received its current name on October 1, 1996. Its storyline portrays the land as the holiday home for the characters who reside at Mickey's Toontown in California. [edit] Walt Disney Studios Park
Toon Studio is a new land at Walt Disney Studios located in Disneyland Resort Paris. Just as Mickey's Toontown Fair's backstory is a holiday home for the characters who live at Mickey's Toontown, Toon Studio is where the characters go to 'work'. Toon Studio is unique in that it also features rides based on Pixar characters, whereas the other Toontowns do not. [edit] Attractions
