How is the movie personalized?
You'll upload a photo of him — and your kids if you want them in the movie. Then you tell us your story: how you two met, the moment he became a dad, the way he is with your family. Our artists turn everyone into animated characters and build a movie around the moments only your family knows. No two movies are ever the same.
Will he actually like something this emotional?
We hear this all the time — "He's not really the emotional type." But here's what we've learned from thousands of movies: it's not the animation that gets them. It's realizing that you and the kids noticed every little thing he does.
Even the most reserved dads tend to watch it more than once.
What should I include in his story?
Most families include: how you two met, the day he found out he was going to be a dad, his favorite thing to do with the kids, an inside joke only your family knows, and a moment that shows the kind of father he is.
You don't need to write perfectly — just tell us the memories. We'll craft the narrative.
Is this his first Father's Day?
Even better. Your movie can tell the whole journey — from when you found out, to the pregnancy, to the moment he held your baby for the first time. First-time dads have some of our strongest reactions, because they're still in the middle of realizing who they've become.

What dads actually say when they see it
My husband never cries. He watched the movie with our daughter on his lap and I saw his chin start shaking by the second scene. Best Father's Day gift I've ever planned.
It was his first Father's Day. I included the scene where we found out I was pregnant and the day our son was born. He said it was the greatest gift he's ever received.
We watched it as a family on Sunday morning. My kids kept pointing at the screen yelling "That's Daddy!" He's already shown it to everyone at work.
I was worried he'd think it was cheesy. Instead he hugged me, hugged the kids, and then sat down and watched it two more times by himself. That told me everything.

It was his first Father's Day. I included the scene where we found out I was pregnant and the day our son was born. He said it was the greatest gift he's ever received. He's watched it every night this week.

Ordered the 120-second version because I wanted to fit our whole story — meeting at work, the proposal, finding out about the baby. He paused it halfway through to just hold me. Worth every cent.
I texted it to him while he was at the office. He called me 10 minutes later barely able to talk. His coworker told me later he had to step outside. From my tough guy. That's when I knew it was worth it.
The animated version of our family looked so much like us it was almost eerie. Our 4-year-old recognized herself immediately. My husband saved it as his phone wallpaper.
Ordered at 11pm, had it by morning. I was sure something this fast would look generic. It didn't. They captured how he carries our son on his shoulders, which is his thing. I didn't even mention that detail.
We got the framed poster too. It's hanging in the hallway now with the QR code on it. Every time guests come over they scan it and watch the movie. He's so proud of it.
My husband is a blended-family dad. Including his stepkids in the movie was the part that broke him. He kept saying "You put everyone in there." Yes babe, because that's who you are as a dad.
Played it at Father's Day brunch in front of his parents too. His mom cried, his dad clapped, and my husband just sat there smiling like an idiot. The whole table was a mess. Best brunch ever.
Every Father's Day I struggle with gifts. Tools? He has them. Clothes? He picks his own. This was the first time I saw genuine surprise on his face. Not polite surprise. Real surprise. Already planning next year's version.
