Toontown Storytime Wiki

**Original Release** | May 29, 2017 - May 11, 2022

**Toontown Storytime** is a series of fiction based on the computer game *Toontown Online*and its successor *Toontown Rewritten*. The series is set primarily within the borders of a fictional reimagining of Toontown and focuses on the Toons' battle against the Cogs, the initial antagonist of the series, as well as their past with the historical kingdoms of Cartonia.

The first season, *Rewritten*, focused on the Cogs' arrival in Toontown, the circumstances that led to it, a desperate effort to save the Toons, and the ensuing struggle of the Toons to reclaim their town. A second season, *Justice*, was commissioned and released in May 2018. The third season, *Contact*, premiered in November 2019. A fourth season, a special flashback saga entitled *War,* was released in 2021. The finale season, *Revolution*, released in 2022.

## Overview

### Season 1: *Rewritten*

The first season focuses on life before the Cogs, their arrival and the ensuing aftermath, the three years spent beyond Toontown, and the return to the ruins of Toontown. Episodes contain flashbacks to various character encounters with the Cogs and the losses each character has suffered. The season is spread over a six-year time period; from the year before the arrival of the Cogs to the return from Exodus and the following months. The episodes alternate points of view between eight main characters, and sometimes other minor Toon characters or even the Cogs.

### Season 2: *Justice*

The second season focused on the aftermath of the destruction of Operation Sever, the attempt to restore the Togs to their Toon states, the Mayoral/Council/Toon Patrol elections, and a sensational trial that rocked the foundation of Toontown. The season also expanded on the history of Toontown and the circumstances that led the original founders to the southern shores of the continent.

### Season 3: *Contact*

A third season picked up where the second season left off, with contact between the Kingdoms of Cartonia and Toontown reestablished with the arrival of six Cartonians. The Toons were forced to adjust to life with Cartonians living among them, all while continuing their pursuit to eradicate the Cogs from their homeland for good.

### Season 4: *War*

This special flashback season, released in 2021, took readers to the days of the War in Cartonia, and depicted the events that would eventually lead to the settlement of Toontown. The season featured a large ensemble cast from all eighteen species and Kingdoms.

### Season 5: *Revolution*

The final season was released in 2022 and concluded the story, merging the worlds of Cartonia and Toontown.

## Production

### Episodes

Each episode takes place from varying points of view and may feature several flashbacks; however, some episodes only feature one storyline. Certain episodes revolve around one character. All episodes are published online. Especially long episodes may be split into two parts, though the episode titles have only included "Part One" and "Part Two" once.

Episodes for the first two seasons were released on no set schedule and usually were published when producers had time. The aim was to release the episodes as fast as possible, but delays were very common. The first season was supposed to be concluded by the end of August, but instead did not wrap until the end of November. Similarly, the goal for season 2 was to have it finish by September. For the third season, production wrote the entirety of the season to allow for a set release schedule. With a few exceptions, season 3 was released on Sundays. Seasons 4 and 5 followed its predecessor's trend, and were released on Sundays.

Two video episodes have been released, both concluding specials following seasons.

### Characters

The characters of Storytime fall into four categories: NPC Characters, Toon Characters, Cog Characters, and Original Characters.

NPC Characters are characters that are based on Toontown NPCs (computerized Toons within the game that are not real people). Examples of NPC characters include Clerk Clara, Flippy Flopper, Professor Pete, Slate Oldman, Clarabelle Cow, Vidalia VaVoom, Mata Hairy, and Professor Prepostera. Almost all of these characters have the same resemblance, appearance, and personality of the NPCs on which they are based, although there are many exceptions. These characters are common because of their renown and ease of relation to readers who play the game.

Toon Characters are based on real Toons (not NPCs). Examples include Doctor, Piggy Pie, Tori Dorrance, Horace Calves, and Violet Vance. These characters are less common.

Cog Characters are characters that are based on Cogs. The four established Cog groupings (Sellbot, Cashbot, Lawbot, and Bossbot) are considered canon and do not differ in Storytime.

Original Characters are not based on anyone and are completely of the author's imagination. Examples include Eileen Irenic, Dr. Adam Molecule, Blair Fawkes, and Dr. Kilo Byte. Beginning with the third season, Cartonians are introduced. All Cartonian characters (ex. Bentley Connelly, Queen Vixen VII) are original characters.

In addition, characters are divided into four starring categories: Main, Recurring/Supporting, Guest, and Featured. Any character that appears less than three times (*Rewritten, Justice, Contact, Revolution*) or only once (*War*) in a season is usually a guest character. *War*used supporting characters instead of recurring.
