‘The Dreamer’—Apple’s Holiday Film, Featuring MacBook Neo

Apple’s annual holiday film dropped today. It’s—

[…] about a parents' gift that helps their son rediscover his creativity. Sometimes all it takes to remember what makes us special, is someone who believes in us.

The film follows a young child as he grows and discovers his artistic passion, encouraged and discouraged by those around him.

Ads of the World has details on the making of the film, including a video featuring Hebru Brantley, who created all of the artwork in the film.

It’s the first holiday film I can recall in years that centers on the Mac, maybe since 2015’s Someday at Christmas, featuring Stevie Wonder and Andra Day.

I found it especially moving as it brought to mind my parents’ gift of an Apple computer, which changed the trajectory of my life.
