Nola and the Goodnight Moon

A slow, quiet bedtime animation built to settle rather than excite

For grown-ups

Play this as the last thing before lights out. The pace is deliberately slow and nothing in it is meant to surprise. Lower the volume a little each night and let the goodnight ritual in the film become your own.

Frequently asked questions

How long is Nola and the Goodnight Moon?

Just over two minutes — short enough to be the final step of a bedtime routine without becoming a reason to stay up.

Is it calm enough for bedtime?

Yes. It was made to settle rather than excite: a slow pace, soft colours, and a quiet ending with no cliffhanger.

Can I make a bedtime animation with my child’s name in it?

Yes. ReadKidz makes a short animated story from one sentence, and you can name the character and choose the art style.
