Sega had acquired a solid reputation for developing such high-quality video games based on ] characters, with '']'', '']'' and '']'', among others. However, this ''Fantasia'' based game, which was developed by French developer ] (nowadays known as the reborn ]), was the least successful of these games and critics had felt that the game's story sequence was underdeveloped (no bosses nor central villain) and that the playable character had a frustrating delay whenever you wanted him to jump or shoot the magical spell bubbles. Also, given that stomping on enemies was often seen as an attack move, in this game; however, you would still lose a life (unless you hold Down on the control pad while jumping). The game was also much rather too frustratingly difficult to complete than Sega's other video games based on Disney characters, and when you finally do manage to beat the game, the ending is unfortunately a short disappointment being widely regarded as empty and unrewarding for not including the gag that Sega had used in its other Disney games featuring famous studio characters sitting in a movie theatre. |

Sega had acquired a solid reputation for developing such high-quality video games based on Walt Disney characters, with Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck and Quackshot, among others. However, this Fantasia based game, which was developed by French developer Infogrames (nowadays known as the reborn Atari), was the least successful of these games and critics had felt that the game's story sequence was underdeveloped (no bosses nor central villain) and that the playable character had a frustrating delay whenever you wanted him to jump or shoot the magical spell bubbles. Also, given that stomping on enemies was often seen as an attack move, in this game; however, you would still lose a life (unless you hold Down on the control pad while jumping). The game was also much rather too frustratingly difficult to complete than Sega's other video games based on Disney characters, and when you finally do manage to beat the game, the ending is unfortunately a short disappointment being widely regarded as empty and unrewarding for not including the gag that Sega had used in its other Disney games featuring famous studio characters sitting in a movie theatre.
