Magic Kingdom . Similar in concept toMickey's Toontown atDisneyland andTokyo Disneyland , it is themed as a small town hosting a country fair.History and concept
Roger Rabbit was recognized as a lucrative character by Disney after the release of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit ", and an ambitious set of attractions based on the movie was developed for Disney theme parks. Roger Rabbit was even set to be the star of his own land, behindMain Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland, called Hollywoodland. Meanwhile, over at the Magic Kingdom, a new land behindFantasyland was being developed in honor ofMickey Mouse 's sixtieth birthday, aptly named Mickey's Birthdayland. There were also set to be attractions based on Roger Rabbit, Judge Doom and Baby Herman opening in a major expansion at theDisney's Hollywood Studios andTokyo Disneyland , but after the early lukewarm reception ofDisneyland Resort Paris , plans were dramatically cut back.Fact|date=September 2008Hollywoodland was canceled, and was combined with the idea of Mickey's Birthdayland as well as a concept found in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", to form Mickey's Toontown, which opened in 1993 behind Fantasyland at Disneyland. Mickey's Birthdayland opened as planned in 1988 before Euro Disney, then was renamed Mickey's Starland in 1990, and finally was expanded as a sister to Mickey's Toontown at Disneyland and was revonated in 1996 to re-open as Mickey's Toontown Fair.
