Folk Tales: Bedtime Stories

Folk Tales turns the world's best-loved folk stories into gentle, narrated picture-book films — made for the last quiet minutes before sleep. Each tale opens like a little theatre: velvet curtains part, a warm storyteller begins, and hand-painted scenes drift with slow, cinematic camera moves while soft music plays underneath. No flashing, no rushing, no cliffhangers — every story lands softly, and ends with a goodnight. STORIES FROM EVERYWHERE 50+ tales from every corner of the world — Aesop's fables from Greece, Jataka tales from India, the Moon Rabbit from Japan, Anansi the spider from West Africa, Heungbu and Nolbu from Korea, the Gingerbread Man from England, Sang Kancil from Malaysia, tales from the Cherokee, Lenape and Haudenosaunee peoples, from Australia, Brazil, Cuba, Vietnam, the Philippines and many more. Every tale names its origin, so children meet the world one story at a time. MADE FOR BEDTIME • A warm, expressive storyteller — dramatic enough to delight, calm enough for sleep • Soothing ambient music tuned to each story's homeland • Slow, living camera moves across full-screen painted art • The screen stays awake through every tale — no taps needed • "Next tale" flows story to story until little eyes close FOR PARENTS • A parent corner behind a grown-ups-only gate • Choose exactly which tales appear on your child's shelf • Music and narration toggles • No ads, no tracking, no data collected — ever • Fully offline: every story works on planes, trains and camping trips • One-time download, nothing to manage STORIES WITH GENTLE HEARTS Every tale has been retold with care for ages 4–8: kindness wins, cleverness beats size, nobody gets hurt, and even the wolves and trolls are more silly than scary. Morals arrive softly — sharing, honesty, patience, courage — the way grandmothers have always told them. Dim the lights, press play, and let Nana the storyteller take it from here. Goodnight, little one.
