Both this video and the story behind it are touching.

Our studio has created this short animation with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for Sarah, who "fought an uphill battle against late stage kidney failure". Sarah is doing much better now, and she enjoyed the animation on her birthday recently. The story was based on a real dream she had about her grandmother.
In cooperation with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, it made our day to have Sarah visit us at Omens Studios some months ago. Sarah is a courageous and cheerful girl who fought an uphill battle against late stage kidney failure. Her wish was to visit an animation studio and see how animation was made. We were very happy to have her and her family come and see the studio and meet the team. In celebration of her 17th birthday on 20 September, our team came up with an animated short film called "Sarah's Dream", based on an actual dream Sarah had of her beloved grandmother. Sarah narrated the short film and provided drawings which inspired the animation.Sarah is doing much better now, and she enjoyed the animation on her birthday recently. Please take a look, and please feel free to share with your friends and families.
We hope you will enjoy it as much as Sarah and us did.
Except for some modeling, the animation was fully created in Blender.

Very good Job! One Thing is not perfect, the voice from child have too much reverb, it is feel, the child "stands" in a big hall. (sorry for my english)
