We launched our Kids Originals program in early 2023 with the vision of transforming children’s original stories into animated shorts, celebrating creativity and imagination. This year, we are excited to introduce The Lost Amulet of Sonora from some talented students in Norwalk, CA. This animated short follows an adventurous boy name Finn who stumbles upon a magical amulet that can grant his every wish. After wishing for a friend named Orion, Finn quickly gets into trouble wishing for too many things, and must ultimately decide what is more important-friendship or having everything you want?
