Fairy tale point and click adventure from the 90's

Question

When I was but a young lad, my parents bought a computer and gave my sister and me a very limited amount of games to play.

One of them, I remember, was a point and click adventure game set in a land that was filled with famous fairy tales from Hans Christen Anderson or Grimms.

It was made for younger kids, the plot was basically you had to go around to all these different scenes and either talk to the various characters (Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Alice, etc.) and then you had to go find some items they lost or are missing to save the day.

I remember that the graphics were very whimsacle, as though they were all hand panted, then digitally converted.

I remember that the game would be random every time you would play it, so no characters or items were ever in the same place twice.

I remember that the point of the game was to learn the basics of all the featured fairy tales.

Anyone remember the game I'm talking about?

Answer

I'm pretty sure the game is Mixed-Up Mother Goose:

The game had characters from Mother Goose - not Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, nor Alice - but did feature Jack and Jill and Jack Be Nimble, so it's a fair trade.
