Wowie! With all the Plush-a-Palooza excitement over the last few weeks, time has been flying by. But we'd never forget a little someone's special day – today, Toontown turns twenty-two!

On June 2nd, 2003, Toontown Online officially opened its doors to players across the Tooniverse, providing countless hours of fun, connecting thousands of people, and changing lives. Today, 22 years later, Toontown continues to inspire the imagination and whimsy of kids, teens, and adults across the globe!

What a marvelous 22 years, too. Toontown lived its initial life at the cutting-edge of family-friendly online gaming at a time when such a concept seemed impossible. On September 19, 2013, that life came to an end merely paving way for a rebirth. The community-centered pathos Toontown is built upon crystalized with its dying breath, and the resulting burst of creativity and passion fuelled a new era of Toontown!

Today, Toontown continues to thrive with copious fan art, videos, Content Packs, stories, games, and of course, Toons who continue to visit by the thousands every day! Who'd have thought, a virtual world thought lost only needed a smidgeon of advice to continue to prosper.

It's difficult to put into words what Toontown means to us, which is why we're so lucky to be part of a community who shows that passion every day. By this point, Toontown Rewritten has been up and running longer than Toontown Online. That is a ludicrous feat which could only have been accomplished by YOU!

To reign in the anniversary, the Toon Council has "borrowed" some celebratory bouncy beach balls from the All Fun and Games Shop (don't tell Lazy Hal)! Give them a good WHACK in the Playgrounds before Hal's alarm goes off on June 4th at 11:59PM (Toontown Time).

And if you're feeling nostalgic, stop by the Toontown Preservation Project, our virtual museum for preserving the history of Toontown. Hosted at toontown.online, you'll find anything from concept sketches to design documents chronicling the fascinating development of the game right down to the most minute detail! If you have any material you'd like to contribute to this project, we'd love to hear from you by emailing support@toontownrewritten.com. No museum is ever fully complete, but never let it be said we didn't try!

We'd also like to extend a very special thank-you to the Toontown Online developers for showing their support to the community over the years. We hope their "22" birthday cakes taste delicious!

Thank you to anyone reading this for the past 22 years, it has been a wild ride. Keep your eyes peeled, the future remains bright and exciting in the Tooniverse!

Happy Birthday, Toontown!
