	Gamasutra - Features - Postmortem: Toontown - printe friendly
		Toontown is published by Disney Online and was developed by the VR Studio, which is a group of animators, modeler-painters, and programmers that were originally brought together to develop virtual reality attractions for the Disney theme parks.
		Toontown has plenty of each, because it features all the classic cartoon gags such as hitting bad-guys in the face with pies, but also includes references to office humor, such as the enemy attack that literally wraps a Toon up in "red tape".
		A common practice in other online games, often referred to as "kill-stealing", is for a more powerful player to be able to join a battle that is underway and finish off the enemy, thereby earning experience and even treasure at the expense of the players who started the battle.

	Toontown Online - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Toontown Online 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.

	Toontown Online impressions - PC News at GameSpot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		However, Disney has created an online game that is built on many of the basic principles of role-playing games but is designed to be mild enough that parents and children can play it together.
		Toontown Online separates itself from other online games with its specialized communication systems, called "speed chat" and "secret friends." These chat methods sacrifice convenience in favor of making certain all the communication in the game is free from vulgarity and safe for children.
		The combat system in Toontown Online is turn-based, and players can initiate battles simply by walking up to a wandering cog in the enemy-filled areas of Toontown.

		ToonTown Online contains the addictive elements of MMORPGs in an environment that won’t expose you or your kids to foul language, foul player names, or griefing (killing players and stealing their things) found in many other titles out there.
		This is all thanks to a consistent world monitoring and even a name registration if you decide to select your own instead of the ones that they have set up which have to pass trough approval.
		ToonTown Online is looking fun, and you can expect to see it here in the next few months.

	Disney's Toontown Online Review - PC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Well, I saw Toontown Online at this year’s E3, and I can say that there is finally an answer that both kids and parents can be happy and have fun with.
		Toontown instead keeps the majority of the mission goals simple and close by enough that they have to be searched for, but you won’t be wandering through virtual miles of forestland to find where you need to go either.
		The music in Toontown ranges from happy to a little more sinister, depending on what area you happen to be in or what you just did since music will play after battles or events.

	Sharky Extreme
		The game and its world are far removed from traditional online games, and rather than some post-apocalyptic environment, ToonTown Online is lush, full of color, and creates a sense of joy, rather than doom.
		Obviously, this game is being targeted at a younger demographic, along with wooing parents concerned with what online games their children play, but ToonTown Online actually has quite a bit of game hidden inside the cartoon exterior, and can be enjoyed by kids of all ages.
		ToonTown Online depicts a happy-go-lucky "Toon" environment that is being invaded by corporate baddies, the robot Cogs, who are taking over buildings and territories in ToonTown.

	Review of the Online Game for Kids: Disney's Toontown
		The underlying story in Toontown is this: evil business robots, called Cogs, have been unwittingly released in Toontown.
		Toontown consists of a number of different neighborhoods, each of which features a Cog-free playground.
		The online game is designed to be safe and non-violent--Toons cooperate with other Toons and cannot intimidate or hassle each other; Toons never die (they can become "sad", but have the chance to heal and boost up their laffpoints); and chatting with other people is restricted and controlled.

	Virtual Worlds Review: Disney's Toontown Online
		Like its offline inspiration (Disney World), Toontown is designed to make kids feel that this is a space where they are in charge.
		The only way to converse freely with someone in Toontown is to make them a "secret friend" which requires both parties to enter a password exchanged outside the game.
		Like Coke Studios, Toontown is a perfect example of a company extending its brand online by creating a virtual world and the Disney brand translates particularly well into virtual reality.

	Gamerdad - ToonTown Online
		Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) such as Everquest and World of Warcraft have attracted millions gamers all over the world with their combination of challenging combat, role-playing, and social interaction in vibrant ever-expanding worlds.
		Along comes Disney Online with ToonTown, a kid-friendly MMOG that is excellent fun for the whole family.
		The interesting thing for me observing my kids playing ToonTown was how it allowed each kid to explore their favorite way of gaming – my older son looks destined to become a stat-building level grinder, constantly seeking battle and tasks to get more experience and jelly beans.

	Toontown Online. Many-to-Many:
		ToonTown has been around for a long time already, though I guess it was in testing that whole time.
		As an adult playing Toontown I would much rather use an "adult" forums rather than an all ages venue with one thread set aside for adults.
		Toontown is not only or kids, but for adults too.

		Yes, it is an online game (hence the name ToonTown Online) and it very specifically indicates on the packaging that a recurring fee is necessary to play it after the initial 2 month game time has expired.
		Since I have been playing there have been 2 major updates and a 3rd is scheduled for sometime in April or May, giving toons an additional neighborhood/Cog HQ to play in with new tasks and rewards.
		Toontown is a great game and I suggest buying it for any little kids or teens who want to have some fun!
