Any fable, told as a video
Type a classic tale, a bedtime story or a lesson you want to teach. Cinely writes it, draws it and reads it in a warm storyteller's voice, with the moral at the end — and your child can be the hero.

Tales people tell
Classics in their public-domain form, or a story of your own — each with its moral.
How it works
Name the tale, or the lesson
A classic's name, your own idea, or the moral you want to teach. Pick who it is for and how it is told: bedtime, playful or classic.
Add the hero
Give the hero a name — add a photo and your child stars in it. A companion, an animal or a helper, if you like.
Read it, then watch it
Every line of the story and the moral are shown first, for free. Approve them and the video is drawn and read aloud in one storyteller's voice.

Your child is the hero
One clear photo and your child walks through the story, named by the storyteller, the same in every scene. The photo is used for this video only.
A voice to fall asleep to
One storyteller reads the whole tale: a warm woman, a gentle man, a grandmother or a grandfather — slower and softer for bedtime, brighter for play.
Safe by design
Nothing frightening for little ones, no brands, no studio characters — classics are told in their original form. You read every word before it is made.
A new story every night
A 60-second fable is eight scenes. Read-along captions, 17 languages, and a moral your child can repeat the next morning.

Questions, answered
What kind of stories can it tell?
Fables, bedtime stories, folk tales and parables: a classic by name (Aesop, the Panchatantra, Grimm, Andersen) told in its public-domain form, or any idea of your own — a lesson you want to teach, wrapped in a tale. You choose the audience: little ones, kids or everyone.
How much does a story cost?
Every scene is 8 seconds and costs 30 credits in standard quality (60 in cinematic). A 30-second story is 4 scenes (120 credits); a 60-second one is 8 (240). The script, the moral and the narration are free to preview; you only pay when you approve.
Who reads the story?
One AI storyteller's voice reads the whole video — pick a warm woman, a gentle man, a grandmother or a grandfather, or let the tone decide. Bedtime stories are read slower and softer. Captions can be switched on for reading along.
Can my child be in it?
Yes. Add one clear photo of their face and name the hero after them: they appear in the scenes and the storyteller calls them by name. Only upload a photo of a child you are the parent or guardian of; it is used for this video only.
Is it safe for small children?
For little ones the story is written without anything frightening, with short sentences and a calm ending; a villain is at most grumpy and is forgiven. There are no brands and no studio characters. You read every line on the preview before anything is made, and the video is marked as AI-generated.
