7 reasons to make them the hero of their own movie
One photo is all it takes. They become the hero of a short movie, with their own face, their own name, and your message at the end.
- Free preview, you pay only after you've seen them
- Love it, or we remake it free
Your photo is only used to make their movie. Never public, never used to train AI.
1
Free to try
Two minutes, one photo
Type their name and age, add one clear photo of their face, then choose who the movie is from and the words they'll hear at the end. On a phone, it takes about two minutes.
Then you meet them. Your free preview shows your child or grandchild as the hero, with the story of their movie. You pay only after you've seen it, and only if you want the movie. There's no subscription, and nothing renews.
Once you order, everything arrives by email within 24 hours, on a private page where you can watch it, download it to keep and share it with family.

The first question everyone asks
It really looks like them
The hero isn't picked from a set of cartoon faces. It's made from the photo you send: their face, their hair, their skin tone. Slide the photos below to compare real children with the hero made from each one.
You don't have to take our word for it. You judge the likeness yourself in your free preview, before you pay. And if the finished movie still doesn't feel like them, we remake it.
One tip from our studio: a photo taken from the front, in good light, with nothing covering the face, gives the closest likeness. A photo taken from the side can make the hero look older than they are.
Slide to compare
One photo, and they're in the movie.
A real photo on one side, the hero in the movie on the other.
Real photos, used with permission, and the hero made from each one: in 3D for the Baby Dinosaur, true to life for the Christmas Star.
Love it, or we remake it free
Reply to your delivery email and we remake the movie for free, usually within 24 hours. If the new version is still not right, we refund you.

What the research says
A hero with their face helps them follow the story
Kids watch story after story, and in nearly all of them the hero is someone else.
Putting their name on the page isn't enough on its own. A 2020 study of preschoolers tested a storybook that was only “nominally” personalized, in the authors' word. The children didn't understand its lesson better, or share more, than with the same story without them in it (Kruse, Faller & Read, Early Childhood Education Journal).
It changes when the hero looks like them too. In a 2025 study in the European Journal of Psychology of Education, 6-year-olds who saw themselves as the hero of a picture book, with their name and their look, retold more of the story and understood more of it than kids who heard the same book with a standard hero. Kids who rarely see themselves in stories got the most out of it.
That was a book. Little Premiere brings the same idea to a movie: the hero has their face, their hair and their skin tone, and the movie carries their name. Putting these studies side by side is our own reading, not the finding of any one of them. And there's no study yet on personalized movies, so we won't claim one.

For the screen-time question
A screen moment you share
If you think about screen time, you're not alone. The American Academy of Pediatrics' advice to parents is simple: “Watch and play alongside your kids.” It names stories that model social and emotional skills among the screen time that's good for them. That's general advice, not a review of any product, ours included.
A Little Premiere episode lasts 2-3 minutes. It's not an app and not an endless feed: it has a real ending, and it's made to be watched together, on the TV, like a premiere.
Watching together is good for the grown-ups too. In a small study of 7 families with toddlers aged 1 to nearly 3, the children smiled and laughed more with a book made just for them, and so did the parents reading it to them (Kucirkova, Messer & Whitelock, 2013, Journal of Early Childhood Literacy). That was a book.
Our tip, and it works with any story: when the movie ends, ask them to tell you what happened. Then let them tell it again to Grandma or Grandad on the phone.

What the story asks of them
When they're the hero who helps, they help more
In a 2025 study of 315 five- and six-year-olds, kids who heard a story about a hero who shares gave away more of their favorite stickers right afterwards, to a child they'd never met. When that hero had their own photo and name, they gave even more.
That was one story, in a book, and the sharing was measured straight after it. We won't stretch it further than that. But it's why every Little Premiere story is written the same way: in every movie, your child is brave, is kind, and is the one who helps.
In the Baby Dinosaur, they find a lost baby dinosaur and promise to get it home to its family. In the Christmas Star, the brightest star in the sky goes dark on Christmas Eve, and Santa needs someone brave.

The grandparent gift
A gift that ends with your words
At the end of the movie, they hear your message, read out loud, from the people they call Nana & Grandad, Gran, Gigi or Grandma & Grandpa. You write the name exactly the way they say it. Parents can sign theirs too.
You don't need to live nearby, or to be good with technology. The movie arrives by email on a private page. It plays on the TV, a tablet or a phone, it downloads so it's theirs to keep, and you send the family link to whoever should see it.
Choose a premiere date, like Christmas morning or a birthday. The family link unlocks that morning, and you can watch it first. Then ask the parents to film the moment they see themselves.
There's something to open, too: print the free premiere ticket and slip it into a card. And nothing for the parents to find room for: no box, no batteries, no clutter.
Every movie stars one child, with their own face and name, so you can make one for each grandchild.

What families say
Excellent on Trustpilot
My son couldn’t believe he was the main character. He watched the whole thing with the biggest smile on his face.
I didn’t tell my grandson what the gift was. Seeing his face when he realized the hero was him made the surprise worth it.
My daughter was completely absorbed in the story. She kept pointing at the screen whenever she recognized herself.
We’ve watched it three times already, and my daughter still gets excited every time she sees herself on screen.
I wanted to give my grandson something more meaningful than another toy. A story starring him felt like a lovely idea.
My daughter is used to watching cartoons, but seeing herself become part of one made this completely different.
The message about helping others was my favorite part. It gave us something positive to talk about after watching.
The whole family enjoyed watching the adventure together. It made the gift feel like an experience we could share.
This felt so much more thoughtful than buying another toy that might be forgotten in a few days.
We were looking for a birthday gift that felt different, and a personalized cartoon was a really fun surprise.
I loved that my child got to be the hero while the story still focused on values we want to teach at home.
