Cartoons that were made was "Goldilocks And The Three Bears", "Jack And The Beanstalk", and other familiar stories. There was other cartoons that was added, such as "The Baseball Bat", and "Teddy On Time". and "The Mystery Of The Missing Fuzzy".
Many of the cartoons had a very low budget, and many of them had a bad animation quality. Most of the animation was a form of stop motion using the books original illustrations as templates. Occasionally cel animation was added, such as raindrops and the characters walking. The Mystery of the Missing Fuzzy and The Baseball Bat had slightly higher quality of animation.
