Media Station
Marc Teren oversaw development of the entire series, and directed Disney's early production of animated storybooks and activity center software. Beginning with "The Lion King Animated Storybook", instead of reusing artwork from the film and forcing it into the new format, Teren's team "worked hand in hand with the group in feature animation", while the film's directors and producers worked with the games' designers and artists. Disney and Media Station collaborated to create more than 12,000 frames of digital animation for each game. For "The Lion King Animated Storybook", Media Station contributed 7,000 new frames of animation while Disney animators contributed 5,000. Media Station also created over 300 music and vocal assets, using traditional orchestration and arrangement and digital composition tools. Digital music and sound effects were composed, recorded, and edited at Media Station. Gregory wrote the score for "The Lion King Animated Storybook". Media Station's Newton Lee, Henry Flurry, and Harold Cicada Brokaw were the lead team behind the first five titles in the series (excluding the Pixar-created "Toy Story Animated Storybook"). The programming team for "Hercules Animated Storybook" was led by Matthew Manuel.
