SUMMON A FIEND | Omeleto

A lonely eight-year-old finds a spell book in the library and means to summon a friend but misreads the word and gets the demon Dantalion instead, who is furious about answering to a child. Pitched squarely at kids without talking down to them, it turns the mismatch into a sweet lesson about working up the nerve to make a friend.

Why it's free: Free on Omeleto's channel; Omeleto licensed the film for distribution from filmmaker Eleanor Cho.
