''Dream Come True (A Mule Mom's Story)'' is a short animated film of unknown origin (outside of the sound editor uploading it) about equines on a farm. The film was made to advertise a [[https://gypsyhorse.info/?page_id=792 program]] that uses mules to breed Gypsy Vanner horses via artificial insemination.
The film starts off introducing the farm. Soon, a coyote starts prowling the farm but neither the farm dog Cowboy or farm owner Jim can scare it off. To keep the coyote out of his stables, the farmer buys a donkey stallion. Jack repeatedly fights off the coyote until he stops coming to the farm. Due to his efforts, Jack receives acclaim on the farm. A horse mare named Elizabeth falls in love with him and the two end up having a foal named Flo. Flo grows up into a pretty but lonely mare. Most of the other horses don't accept her for being a mule. The farmer, believing Flo needs companionship, decides to artificially inseminate her with a foal. Happy to see the Gypsy King's blood is living on through Flo, she and her foal are finally accepted on the farm.
The full short can officially be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayWazJ_y2vo here]], and the book adaptation can be read [[https://archive.org/details/dreamscometrue_202308/mode/2up here]]. {{WebVideo/Bobsheaux}}'s review of it can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXqVUoUWlYQ here]].

!!''Dream Come True'' provides examples of:
* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: One of the hens wears a headset, and the other wears a pair of night vision goggles. Why they do so is never explained.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The other horses mock and avoid Flo because she is different from them.
* AnimalsLackAttributes: One character is described as a gelding, yet no character has genitalia.
* AnimationBump: The scene of Flo's foal learning to walk is probably the most fluidly-animated scene in the short.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Fluffy the barncat loathes being called that and wishes others would call him "Tuffy" instead.
* {{Expy}}: Tuffy/Fluffy [=McDuffy=]'s orange fur and lazy and sarcastic attitude makes him resemble {{ComicStrip/Garfield}}. His voice even sounds similar to Lorenzo Music's take on the character in the animated adaptations.
* FantasticRacism: Flo gets made fun of by the horses for being a mule. Her ears are especially a point of mockery.
* HeroInsurance: Jack is treated as a hero for beating up the coyote, never mind that he broke most of Farmer Jim's windows in the stable while doing so.
* InformedSpecies:
** Despite being accurate for the horses, the short inexplicably has a "coyote" character who is obviously a wolf.
** A golden pheasant character looks little like a golden pheasant and more like a cross between a chicken, an owl, and a parrot.
* InterspeciesRomance: Between Jack (a donkey) and Elizabeth (a horse).
* MeaningfulName: Prince Deerfields appears to be named after DeerFields Stables, a Canadian b&b/stable that specializes in Gypsy Vanners.
* MilesGloriosus: The pheasant boasts about fighting off the coyote, despite cowardly running away when the coyote previously appeared.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The pheasant's voice sounds a lot like Slim Pickens.
* PartiallyCivilizedAnimal: The animals all live like normal (talking) farm animals. Yet, the horses mention the "Gypsy King" (who seems to just roam freely wherever he likes) and imply some sort of international society involving Gypsy Vanners. The farm animals act like they live in a kingdom, but none of this is ever clarified.
* RandomEventsPlot: The events of the story have little to do with each other.
* SecondaryCharacterTitle: The titular "mule mom" is not born until ''halfway through the short's running time''.
* ShoutOut:
** At the end, Tuffy/Fluffy is seen waving his paw in a similar manner to the famous Japanese "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneki-neko beckoning cat]]" figure.
** At one point while narrating, Tuffy/Fluffy calls the coyote that attacks the farm a "[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes wily]] [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner coyote]]".
* SpiritualSuccessor: The film takes clear influence from ''WesternAnimation/SpiritStallionOfTheCimarron''. Some scenes even seem to be traced from the film.
* StealthPun: The donkey's name is Jack. As in, a jackass.
* TemptingFate: One of the horses says that they have nothing to worry about in the stable. It then fades to night, where the coyote is stalking the farm.
* TheVoiceless: Farmer Jim never once speaks onscreen. [[{{Narrator}} Tuffy/Fluffy the cat]] speaks for him.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Flo's donkey and horse parents are never seen again after she grows up.
* AWizardDidIt: Dr. Pablo's HandWave to the audience on how a mule can give birth. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Seriously.]]
--> By combining two thimblefuls of baby dust, sixteen bits of smoke and mirrors, a dash of mundoscience, and seven grams of gobbledygook, we were able to ''magically'' give this beautiful mule her own baby!
* {{Xenofiction}}: The story is from the POV of farm animals.
