  • "Children can choose to see the sequences of the plot without any intervention or play the different pages that constitute the computer version of the story. On both sides of the screen, some characters offer additional possibilities or games or explanations of more difficult terms. (en)
  • "'The processes that we were using were actually catching the attention of different divisional groups that all said 'Wait a minute.' They all kind of wanted to manage or have a say or control what was happening. And we were so relatively low on the totem pole that it became a bigger deal, that discussion that took place over our heads." Projects became almost impossible to get approved, according to Mullich, as pitch meetings took place in front of management teams, and after six months of continual 'no' replies, Mullich left. (en)
  • "A proven brand name does not necessarily translate into big sales. Disney preceded its run of hit titles like Winnie the Pooh Animated Storybook and The Lion King Activity Center with "unfocused attempts" based on traditional Disney characters. Then Disney Interactive began marketing software based on upcoming movies." (en)
  • "The animated story book, emulates an actual book but allows interactivity by the user with various objects on a page. The text can either be read to the user by a recorded voice as the words are highlighted, or read by the user. A click on an interactive 'hot spot' allowing user interface usually produces animation of some kind with accompanying sound.". (en)
  • "It seemed less like a book on CD-ROM and more like a scaled-down version of the movie." (en)
  • "Computer-based books, because of their length, cannot include as much information as a film. In the Disney programs, sometimes there are gaps in the story, sometimes the story moves very quickly from one plot episode to another, and sometimes major plot elements are poorly explained." (en)
  • "[At Disney Interactive], there was not a deep bench of people who were experienced in interactive storytelling at any level, because all games prior to that, at that point in time, were primarily driven through the minds and eyes of a very small team that was programming and engineering-driven."

  • Disney takes recognizable characters and movies and turns them into educational discs for kids quicker than you can say, "Jiminy Cricket". The strategy of building discs around big-ticket movies and well-known characters has paid off big. (en)
