Four steps to a little movie

No timeline, no editing, nothing to learn. Answer a few questions and Toonaroo does the rest.

Step 1

Tell the story

Your child says what happens in a few words, or answers a couple of friendly questions.

Step 2

Pick the characters

Add a hero, a sidekick, a pet or a monster. Give them a name and off they go.

Step 3

Choose a style

Storybook, claymation, crayon or 3D movie. Every scene is drawn to match.

Step 4

Watch the movie

Toonaroo builds the scenes, animates them and plays your film back. No editing.

Their words become the plot

Happy, gentle endings
