Before the innovation of the home theater releases that we have today, be it Netflix or BlueRay. People who wanted to re-experience the films, would relive the magic by reading these books. These books would often retell a movie scene by scene, and use the same style of art work.

Disney would also adopt the use of books, to tell the stories when their budget could not allow for a film to be made of. New supporting characters were tested on paper before debuting on screen.
