Forget Me Not all started with the concept of reimagining the ever-popular cartoon reboot into something completely new. With a story originally created by Margaret Doebling, Forget Me Not explores how two alternative versions of the same character interact when confronted with the opposing mindsets of their respective eras. From this idea, the story has evolved into a reflection of self that confronts both the challenge and necessity of accepting change in order to achieve growth.
