North Hollywood, Calif. -- Disney Online, a unit of Walt Disney Internet Group, announced on Monday that it will launch "Toontown Online," which it says is the first massively multiplayer 3D online game for kids and families, on June 2. The $9.95 monthly service will be available as a download, and will also be sold at retail beginning in September via a Disney specialty card powered by AT&T Prepaid Web Cents technology. The game features special communications software that will let kids chat with one another in a safe online environment. "Toontown Online" was developed by Disney's Virtual Reality Studio, using its proprietary PANDA3D network game engine. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/030505/55247_1.html
