3:11 classic horse sound effect. 4:39 And Shaggy was the first to actually use that word in "The New Scooby Doo Movies". But then afterwards it became Velma's phrase instead.
Yep. Since it was standard for the Living Books games to come with a paperback edition of the book they were adapting, they made one for "Harry and the Haunted House" as well, along with "The Tortoise and the Hare" (adapted from an old Aesop fable, but it was the Living Books' own unique take on the story) and "Ruff's Bone" (another original story, but created and developed by Colossal Pictures).
But the truth is, I never really liked Teletubbies much, although I have always loved Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, Mister Rogers, and Barney & Friends.
@@BKDBrian2 I have always enjoyed Teletubbies, it's one of my 10 favorite shows. And I've watched those other ones a lot, except for Reading Rainbow. Mainly because I never got the chance to learn about it back then.
0:31 The Mirror Routine was also used in "The House That Dripped Crud" from the 1980s Garbage Pail Kids cartoon as well, with Elliot Mess and a skeleton. 1:33 The old Bloody Mess trope, which was also used in the "House of Mouse" short "Donald's Rocket Ruckus". 2:16 That old gag was also used with Rabbit in "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree", when he tried to keep Pooh from coming into his house. 6:25 A similar gag with a player piano was used in the "Scooby-Doo! Where Are You" episode "Mine Your Own Business". 8:10 I remember that episode of "Rugrats", that was actually one of the very first episodes of "Rugrats" that I ever saw when I was younger. 8:49 That's the same attitude that Socrates from "Adventures from the Book of Virtues" has, only to end up getting scared himself. 10:55 The stereotypical kickline that's often used in Broadway. I gotta say, that was another great entry in your series of Let's Play videos.
When I was a kid, all I got to play of this was the first page in the Living Books Sampler in my Club KidSoft CD. I thought it was so cool that the one girl character was also a cat and wished I could play the whole game. Years later I finally saw a full playthrough (sans commentary) and I was so annoyed by Amy turning out to be a smug know-it-all who claims to never be scared (even in the moments she clearly is). It's clearly an attempt at "positive discrimination", making the girl smarter than the boys, but she's just so annoying it circles right back to being sexist. Sexist against both girls and boys actually (boys are stupid and cowardly but girls are annoying). And it doesn't even work at showing her as smart because if the click animations are taken as canon then yes the house was in fact haunted. If there were another girl who acted more like a normal kid (scared of spiders etc.) it wouldn't be such a problem. But even when I finally got a chance to play it myself on an emulator and otherwise had a good time, I kept saying "Shut up, Amy!". At least Stinky called her bluff in the end. Anyway, that's my rant about Amy and why tokenism & "positive" discrimination are bad. Loved these videos FYI.
Yeah, like I said, Amy reminds me quite a bit of Daphne in "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo", the way she kept insisting there are no such things as ghosts or haunted houses. Then in "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" they did something similar, with Daphne often being the one to get the gang out of a jam (usually caused by Fred's stupidity in this series).

That mug is colored like Charlie Brown’s shirt!
1:18 Reminds me like something out of Saban's Beetleborgs!
I had always thought that this story should have a book version to it. So it's quite interesting that there is one that came packaged with the CD ROM.

If you like Teletubbies, that's fine. To each his/her own. I, for one, just happen to prefer Pokémon to Teletubbies, by the way.
@BKDBrian2 As a matter of fact, Pokémon is also one of my 10 favorites. I was a baby when its English Dub debuted.

One of these days, you should do a let's play of Pajama Sam 3.
