Toontown is a fictional anthropomorphic city where animated cartoon characters, known as Toons, reside.

In the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the whole city of Toontown is cartoonish, except for anything foreign to the city, such as people and objects from outside of Toontown. Not only does the city appear illustrated ( animated, but the environment has a colorful and almost dreamlike Max Fleischer/Dr. Seuss-like atmosphere. Toontown's buildings, cars, plants, and other objects are also animated with their own personalities, speech, movement and other anthropomorphic traits.
In the TV series Bonkers, Toontown is the portal from the real world to another universe known to Toons as the “Tooniverse”.
In The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat, Felix the Cat and friends live in the same town from the film.
Toontown served as the setting for the television series Bonkers, The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat and Disney's House of Mouse. Toontown has been reproduced in the Disney theme parks as Mickey's Toontown.
Commercial bumpers featuring a Toontown-based appearance were used on Toon Disney from its start on April 18, 1998 through September 1, 2002.
Disney's popular game Toontown Online takes place in a cartoon world populated by Mickey Mouse and his friends.[1] The game, introduced in 2003, was said to bring the Roger Rabbit franchise online,[2] though it did not include characters introduced in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Wolf and Disney were engaged in a lawsuit over royalty payments at the time.[3]
In the video game Epic Mickey, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit lives in a twisted version of the theme parks' Toontown called "Ostown".
