The game introduces a new character Opal, the Keeper of Color, who is a fairy in charge of coloring the magical kingdoms. The game's plot involves Opal casting a spell and it backfiring, removing all color. Players must help restore color back to the magical kingdoms from The Little Mermaid , Beauty and the Beast , Cinderella , Aladdin , The Princess and the Frog , and Tangled . This is also the first appearance of Rapunzel in a Disney video game.

Players can use the uDraw GameTablet to help complete the coloring books, such as number-painting, tilt-painting, and coloring book pages that narrate the Disney fairy tales. As players progress, they unlock more than 100 coloring books, as well as six tools specific to each Disney Princess, such as Belle's Rose Petal crayon or Rapunzel's watercolor brush. [2]

Other types of gameplay include Magic Search, Make a Melody, Spot the Differences, sticker books, and musical tune-up, all which are themed to the stories and characters from the Disney animated feature films. [3]
