Made for magic

A whole kingdom, drawn once

A fairy tale lives on its characters and its world. oVideo designs the princess, the dragon and the enchanted forest once and keeps them the same in every scene, so the story feels like one film instead of a set of random pictures.

You decide

  • The tale, its hero and its ending
  • The look: Disney, Pixar, 3D Cartoon, Watercolor
  • A narrator, talking characters or both
  • Length: 15 sec to 5 min

oVideo makes

  • Every scene in that look
  • Characters that never change
  • Voices and music
  • One finished animated video

How it works

From idea to video in three steps

  1. 01

    Write the idea

    Type one line, paste your script or paste the full prompt ChatGPT wrote for you. Pick the style, the language, the length and who speaks.

  2. 02

    Check the storyboard

    oVideo writes the scenes, designs the characters and draws each scene. Change any scene, regenerate an image or give each character a voice.

  3. 03

    Create the video

    Every scene is animated and voiced, music goes underneath, and you get one finished video to post or edit further.

Better results

What works in a fairy tale

  • One hero, one wish or problem, and one magical helper: the girl, the lost star, the little dragon.
  • Describe each character once in detail: colours, clothes, one special feature like a red scarf or a glowing tail.
  • Name the world: an enchanted forest, a castle in the clouds, a door in grandma’s library.
  • Retell classic tales from the old public domain versions, and keep characters owned by film studios out.
  • For a series, reuse the same character descriptions in every episode and start where the last one ended.

Ideas

Fairy tales people make

  • Classic tales retold. The Three Little Pigs or a princess who learns kindness, in a bright 3D or Disney style.
  • Baby dragon stories. A little red dragon on its first day at school, or a dragon who is afraid of fire.
  • Magic doors and portals. Two siblings find a glowing door in a dusty library that opens onto a fairy tale world.
  • Quests and treasure maps. An old map, a hidden island and a lost treasure, told as a five minute adventure.
  • Dark fantasy trailers. A king, a demon and a final battle, as a 60 second Epic or Anime trailer.
  • Bedtime magic. A bunny in pyjamas helps a tiny star home, in calm Watercolor with a soft narrator.

Prompts

Fairy tale prompts that work

Shaped like the prompts people type into Story to Video most often, shortened and with the names changed. Copy one, swap in your own characters, and keep the length to 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds, or 3 or 5 minutes.

  • Classic tale, 3 minutes

    A 3 minute 3D animated retelling of The Three Little Pigs for children aged 4 to 6: three pigs in different coloured overalls, a clumsy wolf, funny physical comedy, warm narrator, 16:9.

  • Baby dragon, 60 seconds

    A 60 second vertical Pixar style story: Spark, a small bright red baby dragon, sneezes fire on his first day at dragon school and saves the class picnic with it. Spark and his teacher speak.

  • Magic door, 5 minutes

    A 5 minute 3D fairy tale: Mia, 9, with a brown ponytail and a blue jacket, and her brother Leo, 5, find a glowing blue door in their grandmother’s library that leads to a kingdom where the colours are disappearing.

  • Dark fantasy, 60 seconds

    A 60 second Epic style fantasy trailer, 16:9: a king with fire in his eyes rides out to face a demon at the edge of his kingdom. Deep narrator, dramatic dialogue, one final clash.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a fairy tale video with AI?
Write the tale or paste it, pick a look such as Disney, Pixar or Watercolor, choose the language and length, and let oVideo build the storyboard. After you check the scenes, it animates them, adds the narrator or character voices and music, and gives you one finished video.
Will the princess and the dragon look the same in every scene?
Yes. Each character is designed once and that look is used in every scene, so the hero, the helper and the villain stay recognisable from the first scene to the last.
Can I retell a classic fairy tale?
Yes. Old tales such as The Three Little Pigs, Hansel and Gretel or Cinderella in the Grimm and Perrault versions are free to retell. Keep characters and designs owned by film studios out of your prompt.
Which style suits a fairy tale?
Disney and Pixar for classic princess and talking animal tales, 3D Cartoon for funny adventures, Watercolor and Illustration for a storybook feel, and Epic or Anime for dark fantasy with dragons and battles.
Can the characters talk?
Yes. Choose a narrator, characters who speak their own lines, or both, and pick a voice for each character. Story to Video narrates and voices characters but does not sing songs.
Can I make a fairy tale series for YouTube?
Yes. Reuse the same character descriptions in every episode and start each one where the last ended. Episodes can be 15 to 60 seconds for Shorts, or 3 or 5 minutes for YouTube.
Which languages can it narrate in?
English, Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Arabic and Russian.
Can I see it before I pay?
Yes. You see the storyboard, with the characters and the first scenes, before paying. Making every scene and the final video needs the Creator plan, from $40 a month ($30 billed yearly).
