Project Type : AnimationYear : 2025
We partnered with Apple to create a charming 3D story that celebrates the magic of learning languages.
The film follows a young child as they move through different moments in their day, reading an English book in a library, switching to a Spanish menu in a restaurant, waving hello in a park, and later chatting to their abuela on the phone with a joyful “Hola.”
We worked through a few stages of look development and experimented with the environments so the animation could move seamlessly between each setting. The lighting, materials, and colours were kept in line with the Homework Helpers and Autism stories, creating a warm and playful world.
