LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Magic Story, an AI-powered media platform that lets children be the hero of their own magical adventure, today announced the launch of its customized books and subscription-based platform for animated videos, read-aloud digital stories, and music. Founders Erik Ober and Alex Hawkins bring together a creative vision from their experience in the animated film industry and expertise in technology and psychology.
"Stories have the power to transform how children see themselves and the world," said Erik Ober, CEO & Co-Founder of Magic Story. "By enabling children to be heroes in their own stories, we provide parents with content that nurtures confidence and growth. Magic Story is more than entertainment; it's a tool to unlock each child's potential."
Magic Story currently offers 24 stories across six different categories, focusing on themes of learning and growth. These stories can be purchased as hardcover or softcover books, or viewed in the company’s app, available on iOS and Android devices.
Magic Story Plus is the company’s subscription service, which provides families with access to the mobile app, digital versions of their stories, one personalized digital story credit per month, access to Magic Story’s library of music, free access to all Magic Story Classics, avatar creation that is as simple as uploading a photo, and discounted printing rates on hardcover and softcover books.
"Magic Story empowers families by bringing Hollywood-quality storytelling into their homes," said Alex Hawkins, CCO & Co-Founder. "Our ethical use of AI enables personalized adventures that encourage 'mental rehearsal,' helping children visualize overcoming challenges and building positive self-belief."
Backed by Point72 Ventures and The House Fund, Magic Story has raised $4 million in seed funding to further its mission of using AI for good in children's media. As a meaningful alternative to traditional streaming services like Netflix and YouTube, Magic Story empowers parents to offer content that not only entertains but also nurtures learning, growth, and confidence in their children.
Customers can sign up for a 30-day free trial today and order hardcover or softcover books. Those who wish to receive books by Christmas should order by December 13th.
