disney's 1994 animated film "the lion king" won multiple awards and garnered financial success. its merchandise sold well through the disney store and disney's mail order catalogue, and their product licensees had an upturn in sales. the company began to cross-market the property throughout its walt disney attractions, buena vista television, buena vista home video, walt disney records, and disney theatrical productions divisions. disney wanted to "add to the "lion king" synergy of book, products, video, theme park units and recording sales" by having an animated storybook available by the 1994 christmas shopping season. a new product line was announced on june 24, 1994, while "the lion king" was in private screenings. the announcement included disney software's first two cd-rom based computer games: "the lion king animated storybook" and "aladdin activity center", the latter of which would focus on games and learning activities rather than story. additionally, a series of screensaver programs featuring scenes from disney films were to be published"." disney chose media station as its third-party developer for the game; media station had 30 employees, led by david gregory. due to the announcement, media station thus had only five months of development time. "the" "lion king animated storybook" more closely followed the narrative and art style of the film it was based on than "aladdin activity center", released november 1994, did to "aladdin". for "the lion king animated storybook", the written text of the game is excerpted from disney publishing group's "the lion king" storybook, which reproduces the film's narrative in a truncated version. disney spent over $3 million on promotion for the animated storybook game. disney released the first version of "the lion king animated storybook" on november 18, 1994, and its success prompted the company to turn wdcs into a full game developer, renamed disney interactive, with a line of animated storybooks to follow entitled "disney's animated storybook". "the lion king" "animated storybook" would later be accompanied by a cd-rom, "the lion king activity center", in 1995, which started a trend that continued throughout the series. pixar developed both "toy story animated storybook" and "toy story activity center" simultaneously in 1996, while the "winnie the pooh in the honey tree" "animated storybook" would be met with a companion, "winnie the pooh activity center", in 2000. "the lion king animated" "storybook" became disney interactive's second release on the macintosh after the "aladdin activity center".
