Sadako and the 1000 paper cranes by Eleanor Coerr. It is based in the true story of Sadako, an Hiroshima survivor. It is set in 1955, 10 yrs after the bombing of the city. Sadako is a lively 10 yrs old girl who is a gifted athlete and bright student. She gets very ill and is diagnosed with leukemia, a side effect of the radiation of the bomb. While she is in the hospital a friend tells her a story that if she folds 1000 paper cranes the gods will grant her a wish. All Sadako wants is to be well... She never gets to finish, because she dies. her friends finish the paper cranes and decide to build a memorial in her honor. It is a lovely bittersweet story about the innocent victims of warfare.

You could do a vignette of stories taken from an old (and possibly obsolete) set of children's books called "Mother West Wind Why" stories. They were among my favorites when growing up...and they stimulated my imagination. You could combine film and animation to tell the stories...or form a cumulative format of it into a more continuous series.
I haven't seen anything like it out there...and it could be an excellent springboard for originality...and produce charming stories with a point. It would probably propel the books into a popular resurgence for young and old alike. These stories are real treasures.
I would love to be involved in such a project; through a collaborative script adaptation of the stories. Ideas are already flowing through my mind...and I am enthusiastic about a non-existent project! If you decide to use my idea; at least allow me to visit the set, including travel expenses, okay (smile)?

I think that one of those stories that teach children a lesson would be a good book to be turned into a movei. For example, "the boy who cried wolf" teaches kids not to sound off fake alarms because you lose your trust.
I know this would be a short movie, so you should include a bunch of these "teaching stories" into your movie.
A good title would be "Stories to live by" or something like that.

There was this book along time ago well a couple of years ago called "BROWN BEAR" it was a really good book that is so hard to find... But if it was a movie it would be easier to find....I would love to share that story with my toddler...But also i bet you could come up with your own story usin your imagination and it would be nice and it would be all yours instead of taking it from someone else...
