Story Launchbox is a curated 2026 initiative tied directly to the development of the anthology series (working title: SIM), and was created exclusively for the anthology’s current production and development cycle.
One selected script will be fully produced as a high-quality, original animated short film as the part of the anthology. The two runner-ups will receive option agreements.
We are looking for stories that stay with people. The strange ones. The heartbreaking ones. The wildly imaginative ones. The deeply human ones. Stories with voice, personality, risk, and something real to say.
Every submission is carefully reviewed. Finalists are evaluated by industry creatives across animation, film, directing, and production, including professionals with experience at studios such as Pixar, DreamWorks, Illumination, Disney, Netflix, and more.
One selected script will move into full production.
Story Launchbox exists for writers who have something unforgettable to say.
YOUR STORY.
THEIR WORLD.
