How it works
1
Photos and stories
Send us a photo of each student and 5–10 stories about the class: what they love, what made everyone laugh. It takes 15 minutes.
2
Free script
You get the storyline and the first lines of the song. Don’t love it? You pay nothing.
3
Approve the characters
Before animation you see every character, so you can recognize each student and ask for changes.
4
Your finished movie
An HD file to show at your event and send to families — in time for your date.
What’s included
20–30 characters
Every student as a recognizable character: hair, glasses, favorite clothes — and their name on screen.
An original song
A song about your class with the students’ names and your stories — one they can sing along to.
A story that’s yours
Not a template: the script is written for your class and your occasion.
Ready to show
A 1.5–2.5 minute HD movie for the gym projector, a classroom screen or the parents’ group.
Character changes
We agree every character with you before animation and fix anyone who doesn’t look right.
Careful with photos
Photos are used only for your movie and deleted after delivery.

About $14 per family for a class of 25
Less per family than a yearbook — and they’ll watch it for years.
You pay only after approving the script — by card, or by invoice / purchase order for the school or PTA.

Often the PTA, PTO or room parents cover the movie together — split across the class it costs less than a yearbook. Share the parents’ page with the example and the per-family cost.

Through the school only
Photos come from the school, district or PTA with parent permission. We can provide a ready-made media release form.
Never for marketing
We never use student images for marketing, sell them, or use them for anything but your movie.
Deleted after delivery
Original photos are deleted after the movie is delivered.

Private delivery link. We’ll sign your district’s Student Data Privacy Agreement on request.
Questions
Will it look like Pixar?
It’s 3D animation at short-film level, not a feature film. Watch the example — that is exactly the quality you’ll get.
Will the kids recognize themselves?
Characters are cartoon-style: recognizable by hair, glasses, clothes — and their name on screen. You approve every character before animation.
How long does it take?
Timing depends on the size of the class — we’ll confirm the date together with the script. For spring graduations, reach out by April.
What do you need from us?
One good photo of each student, 5–10 stories about the class and the date of your event — all in one email.
What if a student is missing from the photos?
Send their photo later and we’ll add them before animation starts.
Who pays, and how?
Usually the PTA/PTO or room parents, sometimes the school. You pay after approving the script — by card, invoice or purchase order.
Can we show it publicly?
Yes — at the ceremony, in the parents’ group, on the school website. It’s your movie.
