I remember when I was 9, I had cancer and when I was in the hospital, I had a few webkinz that stuck with me. I had a tiny green bird webkinz that I lost in the hospital for a few days when I returned home until they later found it. I also had a pink chihuahua I named “Chichi” and I remember when I first got it, I lost the secret code and I’ve never found it but I carried around the chihuahua everywhere with me. I’m cancer free and have been for years now but those were a few webkinz I’ve had back then. Update: Thank you all for the support! I literally was never expecting this many likes or comments from just a random comment I made on a memory I had and decided to comment about. I did not expect this to blow up like it. I promise I am doing good, I am moving on with my life but anyone who takes the time to read this, I want you to focus on taking care of yourself and living your life to the fullest. 😊

FR! I’m specifically targeting this comment at Disney, putting realistic animations above storytelling is not only a waste of money but also not helpful to the story being memorable. If you want to make stuff hyper realistic, just make it live action. Now people are catching on to the 3D craze, and webkinz was definitely negatively affected by this.

I had about 90 physical Webkinz that I collected as a child. I used to ask for them as a present every birthday and Christmas and saved up my money to go buy them at my local beanie bear store because they combined not only amazingly made plushies with sick designs but my love of animals together. I still own about 80 of them after trying to give some away to young family members and my online account has like 150 fully decorated rooms. I'm a children's show animator now but some of my earliest digital drawings were of the Webkinz I found pictures of online. I still check in to my online account every year or so.

The mom started yelling at the person working the cashier about her daughter shoplifting or something, complaining about the cashier doing something (?). It's very vague in my memory, so I can't remember all the details, but the cashier had a leg brace and said something along the lines of "I got a messed up leg, I can't chase after her yadda yadda yadda". we were stuck in the back since they were between us and the only visible exit, so me and my sister just stood there watching while clutching the webkinz we were going to buy (a hummingbird and a chihuahua) good memories.

[@MrBnsftrain]

I was the first of my friends to get into Webkinz because my aunt wanted to get me one for Christmas when I was six years old. I got a reindeer and named him Vixen. I ended up having over 25 pets by 2012, adopting a shimmer bunny named Hoppie on February 29. My brother had about fifteen of his own. When we weren't playing the vast amount of content in Webkinz, we played little stories with the plush toys and even made little furniture and objects for them. By the time I adopted Hoppie, Webkinz was putting a lot of premium stuff in places it wasn't (Wshop items, arcade games, etc.) which was kinda dumb as you were already paying about $15 for a stuffed animal with a 1-year subscription. (I didn't know until watching this video they made the base game free a year later) This made me lose interest in Webkinz. A few years ago, Dollar tree started selling Webkinz plushes when places like Hallmark haven't sold them since 2013. I'm surprised they made some as late as 2019. In fact, I donated my Webkinz plushes in 2015 as I haven't played the game in years and would rather see the plushes make some other kid happy.

My dad had heart surgery back in 2010. As you can imagine, it was terrifying, and in the minutes before his surgery, they had to cancel and tell him to come back the next day for it. This happened twice, before he was finally sent to the OR. My mom and I actually bought him the Nightmare while in recovery to commemorate the surgery and what had happened. We still have the little guy, and he stays near my dad's bed.

I always found it very weird that they stopped production on the plushes. The plushes were the entire reason I collected a bunch when I was a kid. Like the web game is fun but the plushes were great by themselves. I didn't even know there was a web game until I was old enough to read the tags. It feels so stupid to buy a digital stuffed animal for probably around the same price as a small plush.

This is so pure. The videos you made makes me nostalgic for those days my sister and I did the same. So many memories! Love this.

I actually Beta tested the new Webkinz and it was called "Next" - not sure why the name didn't follow. The developers said they'd been working on it for three years - I guess when they realized Flash would not be supported by web browsers. Personally I think they released it way too early and I'm assuming they wanted to get in for both the ending of Flash and the beginning of Christmas. I also don't know why the Kinzville area was so unpopulated when you visited - it seems to be swarming with players now, but I totally get what you are saying. Over all the review was very accurate and pointed out a lot of flaws in both versions, and I appreciated it. I hope the developers will see this and tweak the Classic app a bit. Many of us are begging for it to go into the windowed mode so it doesn't occupy the whole screen. Webkinz Next needs a lot of work, but I know they are busy making it better.

[@pocketchia374]

I remember that my school had a whole creepypasta rumor about Dr. Quack killing the pets and not letting anyone else join the game so he couldn't be stopped. I believed it because my dad couldn't get the code for my penguin to work for like a week lol

If you haven't made videos with your toys "acting" out scenarios as a kid, then you simply haven't lived. I did the same thing with my mix match of stuffed animals (two of which were webkinz) and recorded them on my DS to share with my family on the big TV in the basement. Those will always be good times to me :) ❤💖

KZbin hasn't noticed me in 4 years

[@thetechconspiracy2]

If they find out, they have to terminate the account under US law (COPPA (Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act), which has existed since 1998, prevents data collection on any person under 13 without explicit parental consent, hence why most websites that have account creation require you to be over 13, and verify by asking you to enter your birthdate).

[@fn0va]

less people used youtube back then so i'd assume it was easier to find people under 13. They recently realized however that it's easier to just market to under 13s and pretend like they don't know how to get rid of them

webkinz will always hold a special place in my heart ❤ I still get onto my OG childhood account a few times a week so I can have some pure nostalgic happiness in my life. It’s changed a lot from its origins but it’s still a good game, and they update it monthly and has loads of events and stuff for players. It’s crazy that they’ve managed to keep this game going strong for so many years!

[@BerryTheRealOne]

This is such a wholesome video. I was obsessed with Webkinz as a kid and still own all 50 or so. I don't collect anymore, but one I'm still actively hunting down is the Magic W Pup. It was made for the 10 year anniversary of the game, but by then my family had hit a rough patch, so my parents didn't want to splurge on it. As a kid, I was devastated. They're super rare, but I hope one day I'll be able to find one that isn't hundreds of dollars. Only then will I consider my collection complete.
