Secrets Of ToonTown’s History | 191 Facts You May Not Know 

What a wild ride through history! Seeing both the happy and sad moments of this land…only Brickey can do it like this. Loved the journey you took us on and final inspirational moments! ❤

Didn't expect to become emotional while watching this. But that's what Brickey is able to do for some of us. Thanks, Brickey for your love of the parks and sharing it with us.

Great Retrospective to Toontown, its wild to think that kind of Mall promotion couldn't happen today.

I didnt realize Toon town was so new when I went in about 94 or 95, Sad I never made it back before the remodel. Chip n Dales treehouse was my favorite, the goons from Dick Tracy scared me.

You hit another one outta the park Brickey! Loved it ❤️

Hehe. I totally thought the history was going to be related to the story in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" with Toon Town right on the other side of a big brick wall. I love TT as a place for Littles to go! Thanks for the well thought out information!

Loved this history of Toontown. I missed those early days - since we only went down to Escondido, I think I only visited once and rode Roger Rabbit. By the time my girls visited when they were little, the Jolly Trolly was gone. Would have loved to seen it. So great that the land is being revitalized. Great job- learned a lot.

Wow, this is a really interesting and informative video! I had no idea there were so many fascinating facts about ToonTown's history. It's amazing to learn how much thought and detail went into creating this beloved part of the park. Thanks for sharing all these fun facts and behind-the-scenes information!

Wow really enjoed this. U did awesome job giving information on how toontown has changed for the better. You do great job with all ur videos keep up the good work

Fantastic coverage. Love the old footage.

A very well done documentary of Toontown, Brickey, well done! 👍👍

Bravo!! Well done, Brickey!! I learned so much from your video ❤ As someone who rarely went into the original Toon Town, I now understand just how many things had broken down over the years. But still think the new reimagined version is better for a more varied community. Thanks for the awesome video!!

Great work! Toontown was never a priority for any of our trips growing up. I hope my kids find the updated version enjoyable.

Excellent video! It’s full of great clips and information! Love it❣️🎉

Thank you for helping me remember a part of my childhood I had forgotten 👏👏👏👍 Wow❣

Very well done, Brickey!! You are a documentary filmmaker!!

Well put together! Enjoyed the video!!

Ohhh Brickey is giving us a Friday treat

Amazingly informative video. Thanks for all the great information. -The Disneyland Neighbor

I learned so much from this video I did not even know about the mall tour Great piece of work!

Outstanding history lesson! ❤Our family always loved Toontown and I can't wait to see the reimagined version in person. Those hills look beautiful!

Love Hey Brickey ! Keep up the good work ! I really enjoyed this video. I didn’t remember most of Toon Town’s history. I wasn’t in the target age group. I did find fascinating what the first attractions were, until the lawyers. I think people would be upset if a bouncy house and a ball pit were attractions in a new land today. Although it was the target age range and I’m sure kids loved it. Thanks for another Great video.

Love hearing the history. Great video 👏

Awesome job! You explained it very well. Neat! I miss the days you could walk into Mickey and Minnie’s house. I didn’t get to meet him then, but I did meet him years later about the age of 24 in a tent in Toon Town. By then, I was to shy to get a pic with him, because all the moms with babies etc. Now a days, don’t care anymore. I’ll wait for a pic. Jj I wish kids today had the privilege to at least walk into those homes of our favorite characters, but we’ll see if that’ll ever make it back. Thnk u Brickey

The historical footage, editing and expertly scripted content display your grasp of storytelling, art and journalism. Such a great look at the history of this oft overlooked land

Great review of Toontown's history! Thank you for highlighting the new accessibility of the land. Disney does an excellent job of making their new areas inclusive.

I live nowhere near Disneyland, and my kids have never been there. That said, we all sincerely enjoyed yet an another episode of captivating storytelling by Brickey. Thank you once again!

I just can't help but go full out Roger Rabbit in my head when ur doing the intro. I just luv the way the 2 worlds collide in that movie, it will ALWAYS be one of my favs! Christopher Lloyd when he's getting closer and closer to the dip and he starts tooning out and his eyes pop out will always be a stand out memory oh and when Jessica is all "oh my God it's DIP"!! Is another gem that comes to mind. Oh oh oh and shave and a haircut, when Eddie is washing the dishes with Rog in the sink oh and Betty Boop! God, Betty Boop, u just don't get quality like that film anymore am I right Brick? Anyway, I've already spouted all this out and I'm only at minute like 7 of the video lol. Imma go watch the rest now but ya Roger Rabbit, go watch it if u haven't! It's a classic! ✌️❤️✌️❤️

Nice work on this one Brickey! So much stuff I didn’t know… Missed DL from about 76 to 2000, i.e., most of old Toontown. Remember my 6 yr old in 2000 was super excited to visit Goofy’ Bounce House, but it was closed since a child had thrown up in there. And ahh, the fabulous days of ball pits! We used to do them a lot, everywhere. Long gone now… Sad, but understandable.

Epic story telling! You are truly talented at what you do!

Great job!!!

Love your deep dive videos. Excellent again!

I walked into Toontown for the first time in 2015, and had no idea what this land had been to what we experienced then. We are revisiting in May 2023 with a whole new view point. Once again, thank you for bringing this history to us in such a great video!

Beautifully done, Brickey! Didn't realize how little I knew about the history of Toontown!

Awesome job! One can tell you put a lot of heart and time into this vlog. All the history and info fantastic!!!❤

Awesome video! Can’t wait to check out the new toontown the next time I make it to Disneyland!

Wow Brickey! I was expecting a classic countdown of facts like most videos so I could go through my checklist as a former castmember. I didn't get to do that as I was swept up in your story telling! Really appreciate how you addressed Brandon's story. You listed only the public facts. Not playing to the blame game to either side.

Amazing journey through time! Thanks Brickey! ❤

Hey Brickey! just a random thought that interesting/ironic how Toon Town captivated the media, especially television, while Walt connected with the power of television networks to fund and promote Disneyland…

This video is so underrated great work keep it up!

Great process and info throughout the whole video! Love all the history Nuggets, cant believe those old school instagram moments!

Great video Brickey!!

Wow!! Loved this history lesson 🙌🏼

Really well done. Appreciate how much effort went into this and such a great primer for my upcoming trip.❤

That was so well done!

Excellent video! I learned so much! LOVE your content ❤!

I had a question 🙋‍♀️ for you please, Toontown at Disneyland does not included non Disney characters that appeared in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Betty Boop, Droppy, Tweety Bird and many more Toons as well as other Disney characters (not including Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Daisy and Chip and Dale) such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, the Three Little Pigs, Dumbo Bambi and more characters from Disney features and shorts that also do not appeared in Mickey’s Toontown, am I right Hey Brickey! ?

Very nice documentary about the land. My first Disneyland trip was is 1991 and I would have sworn room town was there, but those memories may have been universal studios. We were there the last week before Disneyland closed and it was pouring and most things weren’t operating. There was only a handful of people in the land but we had our best magical moment when Pluto showed up out of nowhere and started playing with my then 6 year old. Excited to go back and see how it’s all changed

This was amazing.

Thanks! Great vid!

I don’t know why but when you said “it was a place where there where no signs that say do not touch” got me emotional. I remember running around as a kid and feeling so free and mind blown by being in an actual cartoon world somthing I dreamed of as a kid. This place was magical and still my favorite spot in Disneyland

Man can Brickey tell a story!

LOVE how you present everything Brickey this was another GREAT video thank you 💙💖

Oh wow and a clip from my home town news

Brickey, that intro was so cool, lol, loved it. This is the first video I've seen about the history of it, thanks for sharing. You always do a top notch job. Speaking of toons, I thought you might like this, a guy who makes cars into toon cars... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HqRQ4qV9cHk.html

Excellent video! Videos like this are a rare find with so much info. Great narration. Keep the videos coming please 👍🏽 I recently subscribed since I came across you when searching for Jazz Kitchen updates and found your Downtown Disney Update video.

Fun 🤩 Fact: the main attraction of Mickey’s Toontown Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin is a dark ride that’s based on the 1988 live action/animated Touchstone movie 🍿 Who Framed Roger Rabbit and opened a year after Mickey’s Toontown opened on January 26, 1994

So emotional! I like the way you narrate this. Greetings from México! I recently signed up in you channel and I am your fan. Well done!

I’ve been looking forward to seeing the new Toontown but, I’ve had a few setbacks due to my health, thank for the tour though time, it reminded me of my kiddos being little.

Great video!

Very nice, but one correction towards the end... Toontown opened in 93, not 92 (92 was Fantasmic), with Roger Rabbit opening in 94.

Loved this, you did a fine job. Reminds me of an older Disney history channel I used to watch but he switched his content to trains and ships.

Such a great video!!!!

A++ my friend!!!!

Love this, other than my own visits to it, I literally had no idea if it’s history! Thanks Brickey

Do you know Mickey’s Toontown was the combine ideas 💡 of 2 Disneyland projects these include Mickeyland (or Mickey’s Starland which which was from Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom) a dedicated land to Mickey and his friends and which guests where able to meet Mickey and friends, it was also a meet and greet area and Hollywoodland which was gonna be build behind Main Street U.S.A. that includes Roger Rabbit’s Toontown, but then since much of the Disney Decade plans were canceled Mickeyland and Toontown from Hollywoodland were put together to become Mickey’s Toontown, that’s one ☝️ of the history facts to Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland, right?

at least they kept Car-Toon spin in the New ToonTown

It's interesting that Roger Rabbit is in the park, would be cool if he also appeared at Six Flags being at both parks!

Hey Brickey just to let you know I really do believe that the fight that occurred in the middle of Mickey's Toontown at Disneyland, was not the real issue and not the real final downfall For Mickey's Toontown. The fight happened unexpectedly, and rudely interrupted the guests. For something that they didn't wanted to see and that their children did not wanted to see either at a Disney theme park. Some people out there say and believe that the fight that occurred in the middle of Toontown what's the final straw for the area at Disneyland, and that the final straw was that Toontown would really go into downfall. And lose popularity. Well obviously I believe that's not true because there had been other violence that occurred at the Disneyland Resort, that I found and saw on RU-vid from before. However they didn't go viral and shared on social media, but the fight in Mickey's Toontown was like the first. However there was videos on RU-vid that I found that people nowadays forgot, that there had been other violence that occurred at the Disneyland Resort. And the videos were even shown on the news from before as well because the past violence that occurred at the Disneyland Resort, was first shown and post it on RU-vid. Then it would be picked up by the news broadcast, that they would show it to the public and media. I remembered that happened at first, when RU-vid and news broadcasts had shown some violence from the Disneyland Resort. But at first it wasn't shared by social media. So anyway the number-one violence that I remembered that was shown on RU-vid, and I still believe you can still find it and watch it on RU-vid. And that was also shown on every TV news broadcasts, was the fight that occurred which is now guardians of the Galaxy mission breakout. Formerly once known as The twilight zone tower of terror at Disney California Adventure, was that there was a fight that occurred at the main entrance of the attraction. It was an argument between a alcohol abused man and a Disneyland Resort security man, the security pepper sprayed the guy. Because some say he became to Violet, and some say he wanted to pick a fight on the security. So there was a big fight that happened when other Disneyland Resort security personnel came in, so that they can try to handcuff the guy. But he refused to be handcuffed. I believe that man faced charges when he was arrested, and a Disneyland Resort security cast member told me that the security that use the pepper spray was terminated and fired from his job. Because nowadays they don't want any Disney security personnel to use something as a weapon, so they don't allow pepper spray or mace whatever you wanna call it anymore. Luckily they do dispatch the Anaheim Police department, and they have radio equipment that they can use on standby. To alert the Anaheim Police department, just in case if very big violence occurs. Another thing that was shown on RU-vid first, and then the other TV news broadcasts. What's the video of Pluto chasing a little boy in Town square of Main Street USA in Disneyland. I think there might have been another videos catching other violence from other areas of the Disneyland Resort, that were first posted on RU-vid and then shown on every TV news broadcasts. But the ones that I've mentioned, with Pluto chasing the little boy and the tower of terror main entrance violence fight. Those were the number one violence and terrible incident that was mention from every TV news broadcasts and RU-vid. They may have not been shared by social media, but the big fight that occurred in Mickey's Toontown had broke the record of being shown again and again on social media. And I believe that wasn't the first. Pluto chasing the little boy and the tower of terror main entrance fight where the first ones to be mentioned and shown to the public and media, from both RU-vid and every TV news broadcasts. Even though they didn't cross into social media, because nobody used cell phones to show everybody. From one cell phone to another, including emails, I also do believe they were never shown on Facebook. And back then there was no Instagram and no tiktok yet, those two videos never broke records into social media. But they did became part of the media and public by RU-vid and TV news broadcasts. So that was all that happened that occurred at the Disneyland Resort from before, even before the big fight in Mickey's Toontown. And the big fight I really believe did not become the final downfall For Mickey's Toontown. I do believe the real downfall For Mickey's Toontown was the little boy that got killed by accident, from Rodger rabbit's Car toon spin. I also believe the other downfall For Mickey's Toontown was that they stopped the Jolly Trolley aka the to Toontown Trolley, because it was an iconic transportation attraction just like the Disneyland Railroad. And the Disneyland monorail system, because kids of all ages especially the adults. All of them really loved riding on that trolleytransported between two areas in Mickey's Toontown, for some of them it was the best because it stopped right on front of Mickey's House. Because from there they just got off the trolley and went straight into Mickey's House, just to go see Mickey Mouse. And I was one of them that loved riding on that trolley first, just to be transported in front of Mickey's House. So I can be able to see Mickey after that. And of course some of them loved riding on that trolley, to take a grand circle tour of Mickey's Toontown. And for a very long time myself and other Disney fans, and Mickey's Toontown fanswe desperately waiting for the trolley to come back in operation. But now since it's gone, and Mickey's Toontown has brand new things, including the new attraction Mickey and Minnie's runaway. Myself and I believe other Disney fans, and Mickey's Toontown fans are disappointed that the to Town Trolley is completely gone. We're also sad and heartbroken that it's completely gone at the same time. 💔😢 And myself, Disney fans, Mickey's Toontown fans and even railfans really want the to Toontown Trolley to come back. So I hope it's possible that somebody who wants to dream and work for Walt Disney imagineering, and maybe if someone who works at Walt Disney imagineering could have the idea to bring back the tune Toontown Trolley. Because if the red car trolley at Disney California Adventure is really popular, and one of the best transportation attractions at the Disneyland Resort. Maybe the same technology, trolley driver cast members, motor-generators and roadpath surrounding the Railroad tracks. Like they did for the red car trolley at Disney California Adventure, could be built and make their way for Mickey's Toontown someday. If somebody can dream that up and hopefully if that person makes their way into Walt Disney imagineering, or if somebody from Walt Disney imagineering that worked on the red car trolley. And inspired by that transportation attraction, could have the idea to reimagine the Toontown Trolley for Mickey's Toontown. So hopefully it will be built and a re-imagined dream come true. Because Mickey's Toontown can't be complete without a trolley car attraction, to also be used for transportation at the same time. So who knows maybe someday this might happen, and Mickey's Toontown will finally be complete. For myself and other fans that will be happy, to have a trolley ride in Mickey's Toontown. But of course Mickey's Toontown will never be completed, as long as they will be new ideas to be made for the area at Disneyland. Mickey's Toontown might grow with other new ideas, that will become a reality put the area itself. I also believe Mickey's Toontown can't be complete without Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and his girlfriend Ortensia the Cat, those two characters need to be the next idea and meet and greet Disney characters For Mickey's Toontown. Because I believe those two Disney characters definitely fit for Mickey's Toontown at the same time, and I believe they belong there as well. Because not only they are a perfect fit for Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure, but I feel that they belong in Mickey's Toontown at the same time. After all since the 1980s, they brought back Pete, who had been a long-forgotten Disney character since then. And his last appearance at Disneyland was from the 1980s. And of course Pete definitely belongs for Mickey's Toontown, now he's back. And is here to stay at Mickey's Toontown for years to come, and from generations to generations. Horace Horse, Clarabelle Cow and Clarice the Chipmunk. And hopefully with Scrooge McDuck and Donald's nephew's Huey, Dewey and Louie need to come back and stay forever at Mickey's Toontown as well. And to complete the entire pack and cast of classic Disney cartoon characters at Mickey's Toontown needs to be Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Ortensia the Cat. I also believe that Rodger Rabbit should return to Mickey's Toontown as well, and hopefully Jessica Rabbit Rogers cartoon human wife should be there at the same time. First Disney needs to buy the rights of the Rodger Rabbit characters from Steven Spielberg's company Amblen, and if successful and if they do that. Hopefully both Rodger and Jessica can finally make their permanent home and meet-and-greet appearances For Mickey's Toontown. Mickey's Toontown definitely needs all of those classic cartoon characters as a full cast for the area itself at Disneyland, to make their future meet-and-greet appearances. To be totally completed. But of course other ideas might come about for Mickey's Toontown in between all of that, because Mickey's Toontown will never be completed. As long as it will grow with more ideas

8:55 “safety concerns” (aka “me n my family gonna GET PAID”)

Damn wasssup Brickley ✨👊🏽

Thanks!

Question 🙋‍♀️ please 🙏 for you Hey Brickey! Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland begin construction 🚧 in January of 1992, I thought 💭 construction 🚧 of the land started in November of 1991 after groundbreaking took place on November 19, do you know?

7:07 the woman next to Roger looks kind of like Jessica Rabbit

im curious about the goofy bounce house clip when Goofy and a adult man were jumping which scene is this from

💜💜💜

5:21 lol what are they doing???

It nice at night now...

The origins of toontown online! if you know you know.

17:42 is this a joke?

It seems a little sterile to me. Do kids really like it? I do like the inclusiveness

I wish I could go back to the 90’s, new millennium sucks.

That ghetto fight really did change that fun, child experience 😮

Pass. Not interested anymore.

Toontown was the shit and the new design is lame af!
