The Tooth Fairy’s Secret Workshop

The magic under your pillow can help change the world

In this animated short film, a curious boy named Arlo finally asks the question adults can’t answer: “What does the Tooth Fairy actually do with our teeth… and why?” What he discovers changes everything. Meet CeCe - a clever, no-nonsense Tooth Fairy who collects children’s teeth because they contain powerful qualities like courage, kindness, creativity, patience, and wonder. Hidden inside every lost tooth is a small piece of the person you are becoming. CeCe uses those qualities to quietly help keep the world balanced in subtle and magical ways. From dog bones to ship captains, Arlo begins to see that even small acts of bravery and kindness can ripple outward and make the world a little better. Perfect for kids, parents, teachers, and anyone who believes childhood milestones should feel magical. If your child is losing their first tooth, loves the Tooth Fairy, or asks big questions about how the world works, this film is for you.
