If you are struggling for an idea you could turn to the written word for inspiration. Poems and speeches, but a more obvious example to refer to would be folktales. Famously there are classic animated films such as: Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast.

To This Day is a project based on a spoken word poem written by Shane Koyczan (shanekoyczan.com) called “To This Day”, to further explore the profound and lasting impact that bullying can have on an individual. Animators and motion artists brought their unique styles to 20 second segments that will thread into one fluid voice. This collaborative volunteer effort demonstrates what a community of caring individuals are capable of when they come together https://vimeo.com/59956490
