Storybook World is an animated series that was released on video. The opening, ( which was better animated than most of the cartoons ) showed a castle and zoomed inside the castle which showed an enormous pile of books. One of the books opens, shows the title, and each page turning shows pictures of the featured cartoons.

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.

Several cartoons were released with the series that was previously aired on TV that were episodes of Famous Classic Tales, After School Specials, and other similar series, released by Kids Klassics.

The original books were published by Troll Associates.
