* ArrangeMode: Of a sort. The minigame on page 2 of ''Toy Story'' has three different play styles which affected how the player could put the toys away; shadow (dragging them to their shadows where they're supposed to be), "hot or cold" (Woody telling the player "warmer" or "colder" if they were getting closer or further to where a toy goes) and "Woody says" (putting the toys away according to specific instructions given to them by Woody, i.e. putting "a little green toy in the white bucket" meaning putting the Army Man in the Bucket O' Soldiers).

* SparedByTheAdaptation: PlayedWith in regards to Ursula. The narration states that she was "destroyed", but in the visual representation, she was instead turned into a polyp.

* TheCameo: A number of other Disney dogs make a cameo in ''101 Dalmatians''[='=]s "Twilight Bark" song. In order these include [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Nana]], [[WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp Bull, Peg]], [[WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany Roscoe or DeSoto]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Max]] (labeled as "Bowser"), Tramp, Boris, Dodger, Lady, [[WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheHound Copper]], [[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective Toby]], Trusty, and Tito.

* AdaptedOut: For the ''Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree'' installment, the scene with Gopher's late-night snack and Rabbit telling him not to feed Pooh has been withdrawn from the storyline.

** The ''Pocahontas'' installment was narrated by Grandmother Willow.

** The first half of the series (save ''Toy Story'') had the special words described with a simplified definition.[[note]]''Toy Story'' did not use special words at all, especially considering it was already a data-heavy game for its time.[[/note]] The second half had the special words described through short rhyming poems with images (expect for ''Mulan'' which featured dialogue-free animations that usually featured Cri-kee).

* BananaPeel: In ''Toy Story'' Babyface's minigame on the page where Woody and Sid's toys thought up a plan uses a variation of this, using the Luxo ball, a t-shirt, and a toy block as obstacles to avoid.

* PopUpVideoGames: Every game in the series. Both ''Toy Story'' and ''Mulan'' make it mandatory in order to continue on with the story.

* RubeGoldbergDevice: The basis of the minigame of page 6 of ''Toy Story'', but just to make things interesting, the player has to stop all the moving toys in the right position in order for Woody's trap to work.

''Disney's Animated Storybook'' was a series of [[PointAndClickGame point-and-click]] interactive storybook {{edutainment game}}s for UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows and UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh computers. Mainly focusing on Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon movies released during the Disney [[UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation Renaissance]] (when the series was active), these PopUpVideoGames were developed by Media Station[[note]]except for the fourth entry which was developed by Creator/{{Pixar}} and the last entry which was developed by Creative Capers Entertainment, who also co-developed the eighth; Revolution Software developed the [=PlayStation=] port of the ninth installment[[/note]] and published by Creator/{{Disney Interactive|Studios}}. [[{{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. Most games also highlight certain words that, when clicked, tells you a simplified description (sometimes in the form of a small poem) of what they mean.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' (1996)

*** ''Toy Story'''s music are all MIDI files in order to free up data for the visuals.
*** Both ''Hunchback''[='=]s and ''101 Dalmatians''[='=]s sing-along songs only use one song from their source film, with the others matching the scene in question. In ''Hunchback'', they are all traditional French songs ("Frére Jacques" and "Alouette") with the inclusion of "Topsy-Turvy", while ''101 Dalmatians'' using completely original songs ("I Love Fur," "Puppies, Oh, Puppies," "Twilight Bark," "Up the Stair," "Cover Yourselves with Soot") in addition to two versions of "Cruella [=DeVil=]".
*** Both ''101 Dalmatians'' and ''Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too'' use music that do not originate from their source films. At least ''101 Dalmatians'' has the excuse of using "Cruella [=DeVil=]".

* 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.
** In ''Mulan'' this is how the Huns are taken out, save for Shan Yu. Each of them are taken out using watermelons.

* 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''.
* BananaPeel: In ''Toy Story'' Babyface's minigame on the page where Woody and Sid's toys thought up a plan uses a variation of this, using the Luxo ball, a t-shirt and a toy block as obstacles to avoid.

* BrickJoke: [[WesternAnimation/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...]])
