Lightyears from Home
Lightyears from Home
‘Lightyears From Home’ is an animated short that follows a child-like space creature, Blip, who is far from home and navigating many challenges to find his way back. Blip was a universally relatable character who allowed us to feel, if only for a few minutes, what it’s like for children in hospital who face their own struggles to get home. Blip became a symbol of support on a wide range of nationally available products, with a portion of sales funding over 70 projects – each designed to tackle health challenges that stop kids in hospital from going home.
