Dagmar: The BeginningAn animated feature, now in production

She was born different. That's exactly why she flies.

An animated film about a little dragon with a disability. All of its profit goes to children's charities. Not a share. All of it.

From our founder

"For every child who believes their differences make them less. For every child that doesn't fit in the box. I don't fit in the box. I never did."

Tammy Hickey, founder of Believe and writer of Dagmar

Millions of children never see themselves as the hero.

Dagmar was born smaller than the other dragons, with a disability that made flying nearly impossible. Everyone told her she would never make it. She made it anyway.

Representation
A hero with a visible disability, written as a hero and not as a lesson.
Craft
A feature-length animated film, built to the standard families already expect.
Impact
Profit is not kept by executives. It goes to children's charities.
