I have many fond memories of this game. Of course it had all the issues that existed in that genre — in particular it was easy to get stuck… forever. But being a kid back then with a lot of free time and not many other distractions it was great.
It's the first I'd ever heard of this story. Played it with my friend at the public library. Never watched the Disney movie but ended up reading the series.
