Questions
How do you make these?
Every story is written and directed by a filmmaker and brought to life with AI animation and music tools. A person plans the story, writes the lyrics, directs every shot and checks every frame.
What do I need to send?
Names, a few clear photos of each person or pet, their favorite things, a memory or two, and the occasion.
What happens to my photos?
We use them only to design the characters and delete them after delivery. For anyone under 18, a parent or guardian needs to send the photos and agree to how we use them.
How long does it take?
Your free preview arrives within 48 hours. Messages and storybooks take about a week, songs 7 to 10 days, and movies 2 to 3 weeks. For Christmas, order printed books by December 3 and digital gifts by December 15.
Can I ask for changes?
Yes. Two rounds of changes are included with every order, from a line in the song to the color of a sweater.
How do I pay?
Once you approve your free preview, we email you a secure PayPal invoice in US dollars. You can pay with your PayPal account or with any major credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover). You don't need a PayPal account. We start making your story as soon as the invoice is paid.
How do I receive it?
Films and songs arrive as video files to download and play on any TV or phone. Storybooks come as a print-ready PDF, or as a printed hardcover shipped to you.
