In an ambitious project to help children better understand a cancer diagnosis, RPA brought together 20 individual animation, music and sound-design partners launching a series of animated films for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, the world’s largest nonprofit dedicated to families facing a child’s brain tumor diagnosis.

The Los Angeles indie, in conjunction with the organization, created the Imaginary Friend Society, to help children learn about their cancer treatment in a way that still covers the important facts, yet in a way that is easy to understand.

The pro-bono, global film project enlisted a veritable A-list of partners, all of whom took on a specific topic that addresses very specific challenges for kids diagnosed with brain cancer, especially emotional ones.
