Bump. Is this TLP-worthy?
The things in my dreams wish they could chase me!

Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
A special book or video made to be "personalized"; parents pay and send in their kid's name and a picture, then it gets produced with their name in it. It's usually themed after a franchise, with the idea being that kids can integrate themselves into a unique story taking place in its world.
Of course, these edits aren't perfect. They're usually subject to Special Effects Failure, but may cross over into So Bad, It's Good.
- SpongeBob SquarePants had a tie-in book called SpongeBob and [kid's name]: Super Detectives, illustrated with original art that has the kid's photo pasted in. The book's also printed to have their name in it, with the story focusing on "super detectives" SpongeBob and the child trying to figure out who stole some Krabby Patties.
- Barney & Friends had "My Party with Barney". Since Barney is in live-action, the kid's face is only shown on an animated character during cutaways. The plot surrounds a birthday party held for the person it's bought for.
- Arthur had "Arthur's New Friend": Arthur and his friends come up with a party idea for his new friend, you. The personalization mostly shows in various Imagine Spots that Arthur's friends have about what Arthur's friend would like.
- My Christmas Adventure is a Christmas CG production featuring you and an elf trying to prevent Jack Frost from stealing Christmas. As a live-action image is pasted over an uncanny CG character, it doesn't look great.
- The Simpsons parodied this in "The Dad Who Knew Too Little". First, a space adventure with one of Ned Flanders' sons, Rod, who claims that his interests are "being quiet during trips, clapping with songs, and diabetes!" Homer likes the idea and buys one for Lisa, a cowboy-themed one where "Sheriff Lisa" tries to chase down the Indians who stole the McNuggets.
