How it feels

Kids write stories and send them to the show. The best ones get turned into short TV episodes, and the child author is shown at the start of their story.

What happens

Incredible Story Studios (formerly Incredible Story Studio) is a Canadian television series which aired on YTV from 1997 to 2002. The program would receive stories written by children and make a TV episode segment of the series based entirely on the written story, but only when they graded it "INCREDIBLE" (according to the show's opening sequence). The show featured two stories per episode and the beginning of each story briefly showed the author demonstrating their writing. The episode "Hitting Them" was the launching pad for Canadian kid group Six Degrees of Bacon. It included the song "No Tattoos" and an accompanying music video. The series was broadcast on Discovery Kids in the United States, and was also seen in Latin America as Mi guión en Discovery Kids (My Script on Discovery Kids). The show is no longer on air but its DVDs were published and distributed by Digiview Productions. In 2000 the series won a Gemini Award for Best Children's or Youth Program or Series.
