How it works
Four steps from checkout to your private premiere, about twelve days end to end.
Day 0
Order in 2 minutes
No forms about your child yet. Just checkout.
Day 0–1
Tell us about your child
A quick form: their name, photo, and what they love.
Day 1 · optional
Go deeper on a call
A 10-minute call with our story specialist personalizes the movie even more.
Day 2–12
We craft & deliver in HD
Story, design, animation, voice and score, ready for your private premiere by Day 12.
Step 3, up close: optional and worth it
A story specialist that listens like a friend
After you share your child's details, hop on an optional ten-minute call. It asks the questions great authors ask: their quirks, their world, what makes them laugh. Your answers shape the movie.
