In 1985, the Western Publishing Company, famous for its series of children's literature, the Golden Books, cashed in on the home video trend of the 1980s with a series of [[AnimatedAdaptation videos that adapted many of its Golden Books]]. These Golden Book Videos typically utilized the pictures from the books, with limited animation effects added (a forerunner of UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash animation), such as eyes blinking or an animal's tail wagging, etc. They also often featured musical numbers made for the video, sometimes featuring on-screen lyrics inviting the audience to sing along.

* AnimationBump: The videos Cioni Artworks worked on would put in a bit more effort with the animation, such as characters' lips actually moving when they speak, or actually be animated walking instead of just sliding to simulate doing so.
** Several of the Golden Step-Ahead Videos and Golden Book Music Videos that use original artwork (not adapted from existing books) would often add a bit more animation and drawings to characters moving, even though it would still be quite limited. Animagination Inc. would start actually animating characters' lips moving as they talk in the 1987 titles they worked on (such as in "Sing, Stretch and Shape Up" and "The Rainy Day Number Show.")

The Golden Book Video series also featured sing-along videos, usually containing old public domain or original childrens' songs, with a semi-animated original story to carry along the songs, as well as the "Golden Step-Ahead" video series, which were educational videos that taught subjects like basic math, learning to read, and what school is like. These video series also utilized the same partial animation as the book adaptations did.
Some Golden Book Videos also adapted books featuring popular childrens' characters or franchises, such as ''HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse'', ''SesameStreet'', the CareBears, the PoundPuppies and the works of Richard Scarry.

!!These series provide examples of:
* AdaptationDisplacement: Many of the story adaptations often included some altered/original material that was not present in the original book versions, sometimes even borrowing images from other books (usually by the same illustrator). The early Golden Book Videos took it to the extreme, sometimes making the adaptation almost completely different from the book, such as in ''The Sailor Dog'', ''Scuffy the Tugboat'' and ''What Was That!''
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: Usually added for "dark" scenes, most often not featured in the original books, perhaps most notably in ''What Was That!''
* DerangedAnimation: Sometimes the pictures may be altered a bit for dramatic effect, or additional clips such as creepy-moving silhouettes or eyes-in-the-dark shots, are added to the story.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Sometimes familiar voice actors can be heard, but you can't be too sure because these videos never credited the voice actors, even if they are completely recognizable, such as hearing Frank Oz as Grover or Caroll Spinney as Big Bird in the ''Sesame Street' adaptations.
* NightmareFuel: Some of the early video take this
