My daughter looked at the TV, then turned to me and said, “Mommy, that’s me!” I’ll never forget her smile. Such a sweet moment.

I wanted to get my son something other than another toy for his birthday. A cartoon starring him sounded fun, and he loved the pirate adventure.
Ryan T. · Verified purchaseWe watched it together, and as soon as it ended, my son wanted to play it again for his dad. He kept pointing at the screen and saying, “Look, that’s me!”
Jessica R. · Verified purchaseMy son practically knows the whole story now, but he still asks to watch it. His favorite part is showing everyone his character.
Megan L. · Verified purchaseWe picked the princess story for our daughter. She started doing a little curtsy in front of the TV, just like her character. It was adorable.
Lauren B. · Verified purchaseThe colors are beautiful, and the story is really sweet. My favorite part was seeing my daughter’s hairstyle and little expressions in her character.
Sarah K. · Verified purchaseI didn’t tell my son anything before pressing play. It took him a few seconds to realize what he was watching. Then he couldn’t stop pointing at the screen.
Daniel P. · Verified purchaseWe got this for our son, but his little sister wanted one as soon as she saw it. Now she’s trying to decide which adventure to pick.
Amanda C. · Verified purchaseI thought this would just be a fun surprise for my daughter, but watching her discover herself in the story got me a little emotional, too.
Emily S. · Verified purchaseI loved the idea of having something we could show our son again when he’s older. Watching him enjoy his own little adventure made it even more special.

No sparkle in their eyes? We simply refund you, no questions asked.
We love what we make so much that refunds are almost nonexistent: kids fall asleep with stars in their eyes, and parents come back to order one for the little brother or sister.
