History VideoGame / DisneysAnimatedStorybook

** In ''Hunchback'', this happens in several pages: The Alley page has this as the main gimmick where the player can give Esmeralda a different item to the guards with. The Festival page has this occur with Jacques the tightrope walker if he happens to fall off. The Court of Miracles page does this with a gypsy trying to get carts out of the court, but ending up getting run over by them every time. Finally there is the Defense minigame where Hugo must knock the guards off their seige-ladders with crates, with them losing their armor (exposing GoofyPrintUnderwear), or the pidgeons can simply peck them off.

** ''Toy Story'' is the only game based on a Creator/{{Pixar}} film, and also the only entry that uses pre-rendered three-dimensional computer animation entirely.

* AutomaticLevel: Earlier entries had pages which just told the story and showed animations, without any hotspots to click on. "Read to Me" turns entire stories into this, just like in ''Living Books''.
* BoringButPractical: The "Read to Me" options as with ''Living Books'', although this is completely unavailable in ''Mulan''.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: Ursula's demise in ''Ariel's Story Studio'' is getting turned into a polyp instead of being reduced to remains like in the film.

* AdaptionalAlternateEnding: The ''Toy Story'' installment completely changes the moving van climax, having Buzz and Woody actually make it into the van when in the film, RC's batteries die, and Buzz "falls with style" and they fly into Andy's mom's car.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'' (1989; released as ''Ariel's Story Studio'')

* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}''

* ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon: Like in the film, some of the crowds in ''Hunchback'' are obviously CG.

* ''Disney/TheLionKing'' (1994)
* ''[[Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree]]'' (1995)
* ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'' (1995)

* ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' (1996)
* ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' (1997)
* ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' (1997)
* ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' (1997; released as ''Ariel's Story Studio'')
* ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'' (1998; released on UsefulNotes/PlayStation in 1999 as ''Disney's Story Studio: Mulan'')
* ''[[Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too]]'' (1999)

* BrickJoke: [[Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Roger Radcliffe]] has four messages from various game publishers on his phone. At first they tell him how some of his video game ideas are not going to sell, but then by the final scene the same publishers are dying to work with him after his ''[[MythologyGag Cruella De Vil]]'' game becomes a hit. ([[DontExplainTheJoke Get it? 'Cause he wrote the song "Cruella De Vil" in the original film, and his occupation is different here...]])

** ''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.

* ConspicuousCG: Like in the film, some of the crowds in ''Hunchback'' are obviously CG.

* AdaptationDistillation: ''101 Dalmatians'' is primarily based on the Disney animated classic, but contains a few elements from [[Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians the 1996 live-action remake]], such as Roger being a video game designer as with that film.

** ''101 Dalmatians'' is the only non-''Winnie the Pooh'' entry based on a Disney film from before UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation. (It was partly made to promote [[Film/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians the live-action remake]].)

* In ''Hercules'', Phil seems to be a magnet to these for two consecutive pages. First he is zapped by lightning, then he can get repeatedly shoved into the water by Meg.

* 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- though both DO have a fair amount of voice actors from the Pooh TV series' and direct-to-video films reprising their roles.[[/note]]
