Short animated films, written by your kid

Every story they tell deserves a premiere.

No prompts, no editing. Tell us your kid’s story and snap a photo of their drawing. Tellibo hands you back a short animated film, about a minute long.

From the kitchen table to the big screen, in four steps.

  1. They tell it.

    Hit record and let them talk. Tangents, sound effects and “and then… and then…” are all welcome. You can also type it, or upload a recording you already have.

    “and then the volcano went ROAR, which means hello”

  2. They draw it.

    Snap a photo of their drawing. No drawing? Tellibo can imagine the characters instead, in the same style.

  3. You approve it.

    Tellibo tidies their words into a short story. You read it, change anything, and nothing gets made until you say so.

  4. Everyone watches it.

    About a minute of film, narrated, ready in about 15 minutes. Watch it together, keep it, send it to grandma.

Same story. Pick the look.

Choose how the film feels before it’s made. Same hero, same cape, three ways to see it.

Glossy, cinematic, big-screen feel.

What every parent should know before pressing record.

Their voice stays theirs.

We only use the recording to understand the story. The film is narrated by a storyteller voice. We never clone a child’s voice.

You have the final say.

You read and approve the story and the characters before anything is made. You can fix one scene later without starting over.

Every story and film is checked.

Stories and finished films are checked to make sure they’re right for young kids before you see them.

Episodes, not tokens.

No credits, no model settings, no knobs. You buy episodes. Each one is a finished film.

Characters come back for more.

Addy can come back next week for a new adventure. Every character your kid draws is saved and ready to star again, in this story or a brand new one.

Quick questions.

How long does it take?

A few minutes of your time: listen, snap a photo, read the story. The film is usually ready about 15 minutes after you approve it.

How much does it cost?

A single episode is $9.99. A 5-episode Mini series is $42.99 and a 10-episode Full series is $79.99. It's a one-time purchase: no subscription, nothing renews automatically. You approve the story before anything is made.

Do I have to draw anything?

No. A photo of your kid's drawing makes it theirs, but if there's no drawing Tellibo can imagine the characters in the same style.

Does it clone my child's voice?

Never. The recording is only used to understand the story. The film is narrated by a storyteller voice.

What if I don't like something?

You read and approve the story and characters before anything is made, and you can redo a single scene later without starting over.

Is it safe for young kids?

Every story and finished film is checked to be right for young children before you see it.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Tellibo runs in your phone's browser and can be added to your home screen.

Tonight’s bedtime story could have a premiere.

Your first story takes about five minutes of your time: a bit of listening, a photo and a quick read-through.
