** ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' is the only franchise to get more than one entry, both of them being the only ones based on short films (even though they were bundled into ''Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh''). Also worth mentioning, though ''The Blustery Day'' was never officially released under the Animated Storybook name, ''Winnie the Pooh Activity Center'' uses it as the basis for all of its activities and also includes an interactive story activity as well very much in the vein of these games, essentially rendering it as "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day Animated Storybook" with a different name.

[[{{Expy}} Similar to]] the ''VideoGame/LivingBooks'' series, each game allows you to either read and play with the story by clicking on things to see short animations, or just have the story read to you.

* FollowTheLeader: This series is basically Disney's ''Living Books''.
* FollowTheBouncingBall: In most games, words are highlighted as they are read, just like in... well, you should know by now.
* MiniGame: Every single entry had more than one of these, sometimes integrated with the stories.
* OddballInTheSeries:
** ''Toy Story'' is the only game based on a Creator/{{Pixar}} film, and also the only entry that uses three-dimensional computer animation entirely.
** ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' is the only franchise to get more than one entry, both of them being the only ones based on short films (even though they were bundled into ''Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh''
** ''The Little Mermaid'' and ''Mulan'' are the only two entries to involve "making your own stories" to print out. Both were released under the name of ''[[MarketBasedTitle Disney's Story Studio]]'', with ''The Little Mermaid'' being the only entry that wasn't released under the ''Disney's Animated Storybook'' at all (despite the current title for the entry's article on Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}).
** ''101 Dalmatians'' is the only non-''Winnie the Pooh'' entry based on a Disney film from before TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation. (It was partly made to promote [[Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians the live-action remake]].)
* PopUpVideoGames: Every game in the series.
* ProducePelting: Players interact with the main menu of ''Hunchback'' by throwing tomatoes at pictures, with the cursor changed to a tomato. You can also throw a tomato at Clopin's puppet [[ItAmusedMe if you want to]]. Of course, the moment where this happens to Quasimodo is also portrayed in the game itself.
* PurelyAestheticEra: ''101 Dalmatians'' looks like as it does in the original, except their is now some 1990s technology added. The Radcliffes' television is a large screen CRT with a VCR and a video game console, their phone is a wall-mounted handset with a built-in answering machine, they own a personal computer, and Roger's occupation is changed from songwriter to video game designer to support a minigame and some {{Brick Joke}}s relating to the phone.
* RoleReprisal: Many of the voice actors from the original films reprise their roles in the games. The only games where this trope does not apply at all are ''101 Dalmatians'' and the two ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' entries.[[note]]''Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too'' having the same voice actors as in ''Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree'' does not count.[[/note]]
* ShoutOut:
** In ''Toy Story'':
*** On one hotspot, Buzz is disgusted by an arcade game in Pizza Planet that, based on [[BeatStillMyHeart his dialogue]], sounds like ''Franchise/MortalKombat''.
*** On the final page of the game (the Christmas scene), clicking on Robot invokes this:
---->'''Robot''': OK, OK. Who am I? [[AC:[[Series/LostInSpace Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!]]]]
* {{Tagline}}: "A Story Waiting For You To Make It Happen"
* TeenageMutantSamuraiWombats: From ''Toy Story'':
-->'''Pizza Planet Announcer''': "Young Green Warrior Reptiles are now available for autographs in the main room!"
